This has been written somewhere on the net, but some people are still not aware..

1. Make your merc and set his MARKSMANSHIP, HEALTH, WISDOM and AGILITY to 85. DO NOT SET ANYTHING to 0!!

2. Do not hire anyone!! Go straight to the battlefield with just your IMP only.

3. Kill the 3 retards and take their stuff

4. DO NOT give the letter to the lady, after you killed the 3 thugs go back to your laptop.

5. Set your merc to "TRAIN" "STUDENT" and pick an attribute (Strength, Mechanical, Medical..etc.). Make sure you put your merc on "STUDENT" and not "PRACTICE".

6. Set the time to 60min and go take a load off. Enrique will send you emails telling you you're worthless and wasting time...just ignore.

7. Watch your merc gain skill!! Notice he doesn't go to sleep! this is because you set it to Student! After he reaches 85 on that attribute pick another one and repeat until all are 85. This will take a while but its worth it.

8. Now just because you're gaining skill doesn't mean Deidrianna's aren't. The great thing about this is that you increase your stats but so do Deidrianna's army, and the other hired AIM and MERC mercenaries. You'll notice that even Deidriannas low-level thugs are pretty accurate with their shots.

9. Now go check out the AIM mercs on your laptop. Notice that mercs like BUNS have amazing stats. Their prices increase but they are well worth it. Whats even better is if you go to MERC (the cheapo mercenaries). Notice that FLO and GUMPY (the two weakest mercs in the game) are now some of the strongest! and Still CHEAP!!

10. Hire FLO, GUMPY, and someone with Mechanical or Lockpicking skills and own...
