Collecting the components for your Bitcoin Miner

You're required to gather a range of rare components before unlocking this build in your hideout. Item locations and required amounts may change across runs, but here's the current recipe and how to get each piece:

Item Name Amount How to Obtain
Money18,000Sell loot and complete quests
Intel File3Loot from random boxes in any region
Military Handheld Radio1High-tier crates in Warehouse Area or Farm Town
Portable Hard Drive3Loot from random boxes
Circuit Board3Box loot or craft in hideout
Power Bank3High-tier crates
Computing Core3Nighttime Spider Robots only
Cables4Random box loot
Power Cord4Buy at hideout or loot from boxes

Enemies may drop these pieces as random loot, but only Spider Robots (which spawn at night) consistently drop Computing Cores, so night runs are advised for farming these specific parts.

How to set up the miner and boost your yield

Once you have the necessary components, build the Bitcoin Miner in your hideout's upgrade menu. You’ll need to:

Step 1

Unlock the blueprint by progressing your base far enough and acquiring all listed components.

Step 2

Visit locations like Farm Town and the Warehouse Area for tougher crates and Spider Robots to complete your loot list.

Step 3

Craft any craftable items, such as Circuit Boards, at your hideout workbench to save time.

Step 4

When everything’s ready, assemble the miner in your hideout. The construction unlocks new slots for graphics cards.

Step 5

Install graphics cards. Potato Cards can be crafted; high-end cards are usually looted on raids. More (and better) GPUs mean faster mining rates.

How to maximize profits and manage mined Bitcoin

After setup, mined Bitcoin appears in your Bitcoin Miner slots. Simply collect coins and sell them at vending machines or to the Mysterious Merchant for instant credits. Stack extra graphics cards in the miner whenever possible for higher rates, but expect occasional replacements for worn-out cards. Selling excess electronics, graphics cards, and rare loot at vending machines also boosts cash flow.​

Step-by-step: Building and optimizing Bitcoin mining

Step 1

Complete hideout progression until Bitcoin Miner is unlocked.

Step 2

Farm required components by looting, defeating enemies, and crafting.

Step 3

Focus nighttime efforts on Spider Robots for Computing Cores.

Step 4

Once all items are gathered, craft and install the miner in your base.

Step 5

Fill all miner slots with the best graphics cards for faster yield.

Step 6

Collect and sell Bitcoins regularly for steady upgrade funds.

Where to sell and how trading works

Bitcoins and other valuable electronic loot can be sold at vending machines within your base or safe areas. The Mysterious Merchant, located in Ground Zero’s Small Hill, is another option for higher rates if you’re looking to convert Bitcoin and rare loot into credits.

Sell Location Bitcoin Sale Price Notes
Vending Machine 8,000 credits Quick, instant sale
Mysterious Merchant (Small Hill) ~1,298 per cash Best for rare loot

Mined Bitcoins are extremely valuable for late-game upgrades, so prioritize them over common loot.
