Best Money-Making Locations
Earning cash is essential for buying weapons, vehicles, and gear. The map offers several legitimate jobs and riskier criminal methods to build your bank account.
Job Locations and Payouts
| Job Type | Location | Approximate Payout | Difficulty |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hot Chip Factory | Large factory building | High (best steady income) | Easy |
| Boxing Crate Job | Boxing facility | ~$50 per crate | Very Easy |
| Trash Collection | Near the studio | Low payout | Easy |
| Community Bank (Fake IDs) | Central street | Highest potential | Medium |
| Deli Robbery | Multiple deli locations | ~$1,000 per heist | Medium |
| Casino Heist | Casino building | Variable rewards | Hard |
The hot chip factory is widely considered the best money-making method in South Bronx. Collect supplies from the graveyard drug dealer, cook at the factory, and sell the finished hot chips to the hobo at the subway for maximum profit.
Step-by-Step: Hot Chip Factory Money Route
Gather Supplies
Head to the graveyard area where the drug dealer NPC is located. Purchase your drug and cooking supplies from him. This is the starting point for the entire production chain.
Cook at the Factory
Travel to the large hot chip factory. Interact with the available pots and cooking stations to process your supplies into hot chips. The factory is one of the largest buildings on the map and can accommodate multiple players.
Sell at the Subway
Bring your finished hot chips to the subway entrance where the hobo NPC is waiting. Sell the product for cash. This route provides consistent, high-volume income for players at any level.
Alternative Income: Store Robberies
Delis and other stores can be robbed for quick cash. To rob a deli, approach the cashier, force them to put their hands up, and access the register. The deli offers snacks, sandwiches, and drinks, but the real draw is the cash you can take, typically around $1,000 per hit.
Before attempting a casino robbery, you must first visit the specific location on the map where casino robbing tools are sold. Without the proper tools, the heist cannot be initiated.
Gang Territories and Dangerous Zones
The map is divided into territories controlled by powerful gangs. Entering these areas unprepared can result in immediate danger, especially if you are not a member of the controlling faction.
Major Gang Territories
| Gang Name | Territory Location | Exclusive Access | Primary Weapon |
|---|---|---|---|
| DOA | Across from deli | Member-only rooms | Various firearms |
| OG's | Courtland area | Four weapon rooms | Draco |
| River Park (RPT) | River Park Residence | Gang weapon stash | Various firearms |
| Sevside | Near DOA territory | Decorative headquarters | Various firearms |
DOA is one of the most feared gangs in South Bronx. Their rooms are strictly member-only, and entering their territory without affiliation can lead to immediate combat. Always check your surroundings before approaching gang-controlled blocks.
Notable Danger Zones
Gyms Market / Slaughterhouse
- High player mortality rate
- Frequent combat encounters
- Avoid lingering without weapons
- Known as a PvP hotspot
Apartment Blocks
- S-Block Apartments: Lower-end, dirty
- Corner Apartments: Budget housing
- Job Apartments: Near factory work
- Use dressers to store gear safely
Key Buildings and Landmarks
Beyond shops and gang territories, the map contains several important buildings that serve specific gameplay functions. Familiarizing yourself with these landmarks helps with navigation and planning.
Service and Utility Buildings
| Building | Function | Important Details |
|---|---|---|
| Community Bank | Obtain fake IDs | Top money-making resource |
| Police Department | Law enforcement hub | Located near the prison |
| Prison | Decorative building | No active gameplay function |
| Hospital | Medical building | Currently no active use |
| Casino | Gambling and heists | Requires robbery tools |
| Graveyard | Drug supplier location | Buy cooking supplies here |
| Boxing Facility | Tournaments and crate job | Two boxing rings available |
The boxing facility serves a dual purpose. It hosts boxing tournaments in two dedicated rings and offers a simple crate-moving job that pays approximately $50 per delivery. It is an ideal starting point for new players needing their first income source.
Food and Consumable Shops
Several food establishments are scattered across the map, including a Mexican restaurant, seafood store, Indian store, and Food Corp. The Mexican restaurant is particularly notable because the NPC there sells drug-related products that can be exchanged for hot chips.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Where is the best gun store on the South Bronx: The Trenches map?
The main gun store, located across from the Bronx Club, offers the widest selection including heavy guns, extended magazines, and standard handguns. It also features a secondary secret room with additional inventory. The corner gun store near the boxing facility is another strong option, as it is the only location with a shooting range for testing weapons.
Q: What is the most profitable money-making method on the map?
The hot chip factory is widely regarded as the best steady money-making method. You gather supplies from the graveyard drug dealer, cook them at the factory, and sell the finished product to the hobo at the subway. The community bank fake ID route is also highly profitable but carries more risk.
Q: Can I enter gang territories like DOA without being a member?
You can physically walk through gang-controlled areas, but the exclusive weapon rooms and interior stashes are locked to members only. Entering gang territory as a non-member is dangerous, as rival players and NPCs may attack you on sight.
Q: Where can I customize my vehicle on the map?
South Bronx Customs is the dedicated vehicle customization shop. Here you can change your car's appearance and apply various modifications. The shop is located near the binary gun store on the main street loop.
Q: Are there any currently unused buildings on the map?
Yes, the hospital and the prison are primarily decorative structures with no active gameplay function as of the latest update. Several filler buildings also exist between major points of interest to enhance the urban atmosphere.
The South Bronx: The Trenches map receives regular updates that can add new buildings, adjust job payouts, or relocate NPCs. Always check for patch notes and community announcements to stay informed about map changes.
