2 Player Raid Tycoon Rebirth Requirements & Unlocks

What rebirth does

Rebirth in 2 Player Raid Tycoon restarts your side of the factory in exchange for permanent progression: income percentage bonuses, weapon unlocks, treadmill tiers, turret unlocks, and later strike facilities. It is the long ladder after codes and early factory pads stop feeling like enough.

Open Rebirth from the left menu, read the requirements on your panel, and never confirm blindly — the reset rules are printed in the confirmation window.

Rebirth 1 requirements

Typical first rebirth panel (Airstrike Uplink path):

Requirement	Detail
Airstrike Uplink	Buy the rooftop facility for about $2,000,000; status must read OWNED
Cash payment	About $5,000,000 spendable cash available when you confirm

Together you are planning roughly $7M cash committed (Uplink first, then $5M still in pocket). If Uplink shows NOT YET, find its rooftop pad near Helipad / Minigun areas and buy it before you grind the final cash.

Some panels also show a construction progress bar (for example 56/69). A full bar does not replace the cash requirement. Finish remaining build arrows with your teammate — some buttons are shared — then keep the cash gate in mind.

Steps:

1. Own Airstrike Uplink.
2. Park $5M liquid cash.
3. Open Rebirth → select the $5M option → read resets → green REBIRTH.
4. Confirm you see REBIRTH 1 · +10% INCOME and Sniper unlocked.

What resets vs what you keep

Progress	After rebirth
Cash on your side	Resets (often to $0)
Machines on your side	Reset — rebuild droppers/belts
Floors on your side	Reset — rebuild upward
Guns on your side	Listed as restarting on many confirmations; verify hotbar afterward
Rebirth unlocks	Kept
Guards	Kept
Turrets	Kept
Income bonus	Permanent stack (+10% per completed rebirth on standard progression)

This is why investing in defense before your first rebirth is smart: turrets and guards continue protecting the soft rebuild window. Loadout Cabinet rules for ordinary combat deaths are separate from rebirth gun resets — do not confuse a Pistol respawn with a rebirth.

Restart production immediately

1. Step on PLACE DROPPER · FREE.
2. Use Produce on the console.
3. Collect at the green zone until Auto Collect is restored.
4. Buy Automatic Dropper again on the cheap restart pad.
5. Rebuild toward Upstairs Belt and follow-up droppers.

Your kept defenses buy you the minutes this takes. Follow the full rebuild order in Factory Building.

Later rebirth cash gates (examples)

Exact menus shift, but recent panels show patterns like:

You are at	Next rebirth cash (examples)	Notes
Rebirth 0 → 1	~$5M (+ Uplink owned)	+10% income, Sniper, Treadmill
Rebirth 3 → 4	~$20M	Full construction bar still needs cash
Rebirth 5 → 6	~$30M	Leads into Bomber Uplink era

Always trust the number printed on your Rebirth button. Completing construction percentages without the cash leaves the button ineffective.

Unlock milestone table

Rebirth count	Unlocks (typical)
1	Sniper, Treadmill, second LOADOUT CARRYING slot
2	TURRET 40, TREADMILL 2
3	Minigun unlock path, TREADMILL 3, third CARRYING slot
4	TURRET 105
5	DUALS / Dual Pistols
6	Bomber Uplink (Airstrikes & Missiles)
7	Pumpjack; Predator Missile cash-launch requirement path (Airstrikes & Missiles)
8	Pumpjack 2
9	Pumpjack 3
10	Pumpjack 4
11	Riot Shield (REBIRTH 11 pad on outer platform)
13	Dual SMG

Weapon cash riders

• Sniper appears with Rebirth 1 (upstairs displays often marked REBIRTH 1).
• Minigun unlocks at Rebirth 3 and still needs a separate rooftop cash purchase around $10,000,000 beside the helipad. Menu text saying unlocked is not the same as paying the pad.

See the Tier List for when to prioritize these guns in raids.

When you should rebirth

Rebirth when:

• Income has plateaued on the current floor layout.
• You need the next unlock (Sniper / turret tier / Bomber path) more than your current belt stack.
• Your duo can defend the rebuild with kept guards/turrets.
• No critical 2x Cash timer or mid-carry bag is active.

Wait when:

• You are minutes from a major belt / Auto Collect repurchase you already almost afford and you still lack Uplink.
• Your partner just rebirthed and the shared plot is soft.
• A server event is printing free value you would reset away from mid-collect.

Duo coordination

Stagger rebirths so one side always has a mature gun and laser grid. Call the confirm out loud. After rebirth, the non-rebirthed partner can raid for injection cash while the reset partner rebuilds — classic Players split.

Rebirth and codes / events

Redeem cash and ticket codes before you dump liquidity into the rebirth payment if you still need Guard Ticket rolls. Multiplier codes after rebirth are excellent because Automatic Dropper restarts quickly — see timing tips on Codes. Double Cash events on Updates are ideal rebuild accelerators.

Common rebirth mistakes

• Buying Uplink then spending the last $5M on a vanity pad.
• Confirming without reading that machines reset.
• Both partners rebirth in the same minute.
• Forgetting to place the free Dropper and wondering why income is dead.
• Assuming Minigun is free at Rebirth 3 without the $10M pad.
• Leaving the vault empty during the rebuild because “turrets will handle it” against a coordinated duo.

Checklist before you press green

• Uplink OWNED (for first rebirth path)
• Cash requirement liquid
• Construction bar complete if shown
• Partner aware
• Guards/turrets already placed for the soft window
• No bag in hand / no critical multiplier about to waste
• Plan for free Dropper → Automatic Dropper in under a minute
