I've played Heist 1 a lot around the time Heist 2 came out so I was aware on the minor changes to gameplay flow/loadout settings. Lately I've been recording missions to be completed on Elite difficulty with all swag items and no deaths. I had a look at the right side of the map despite NOT having the gear to take out the mines and noticed that one area of the map has XP boost which can be picked up as early as starting Angler's Reef (tutorial skip when starting a new file). If you lower the difficulty on sea battles, you have an easier time taking out the big battleships as they drop 3 fragments per crate which is REALLY valuable early game loot. There's 5 of them per day so it's possible to have 15 fragments per day which can help you unlock a lot of upgrades in the early part of the game.
