Complete Volunteer Missions
Volunteer Missions are side quests or, more specifically, side jobs. You take up different chores and tasks that reward you with money. These short mini-games range from lawn mowing, taking out the trash, or participating in Coast Guard tasks.
The greater difficulty of the Volunteer Missions you choose, the better the payout is. However, the Coast Guard, Lawn Mowing, and Toilet Rescue missions are the easiest, quickest, and most rewarding.
From these three, we suggest you take up the Coast Guard ones if you’re in a hurry. Coast Guard missions don’t take long and are also too easy. Just aim and shoot from the patrol boat at the incoming alligators. In fact, the reward at the greatest difficulty is 5500 UC, while at the easiest, it is 3500 UC.
Lawn Mowing is also easy and rewarding, but it takes some time to complete and can become boring.
Sell Off Junk
As you defeat enemies in No More Heroes 3, you can collect Junk as pickups. These Junk can be used for upgrading and creating Death Glove Chips and also can be sold for a high price. If you have extra Junk lying around, sell them off to Beef Head.
Junk has varying rarity, designated by colors and varying selling prices.
- Purple (Super Rare): Sells for 10,000 UC
- Blue (Rare): Sells for 5,000 UC
- Yellow (Uncommon): 1,000 UC
- Light Green (Common): 400 UC
Spending UC
Ranked Battles
Ranked Battles are the main battles needed to advance the story. To complete them, you must win a prerequisite of Designated Matches and pay a fee in UCs. Hence, the majority of your UC goes in Ranked Battles.
DonMai Sushi Shops
DonMai Sushi Shops are small stalls where you can eat to acquire temporary stat boosts that give you extra advantages in battles. So it’s a good idea to spend some UC on sushi to prepare for a battle.
Gacha Machines
