So I figured a way to make money, as well as kind of bork the crafting in this game.
To get right to it, for some mystifying reason, epic consumables can be broken down for epic components. So, if you get the recipe to make a health booster epic item, it only costs like 15 regular crafting components to craft, you craft about 10 of them, then instantly break them down, and you get a good amount of epic crafting components.(lol) I was able to upgrade the Overwatch sniper rifle in like 6 minutes lol.
This is completely broken and should be fixed. I believe you can break down epic grenades as well, not sure.
Anyway, in regards to making money, Ive found the best way is to find enemy camps/assault taking place spots and kill them all, loot them all and sell every single item you get unless its epic or better. Rinse repeat 3 or 4 times you can make an easy 20k-30k. I finally sitting at around 75k money now, and already paid off everything and bought most cybernetics. (lvl 24)
