How To Do BRM5 HQ (Easy Low Stress High Return Method)

Storyline / Context

• The video focuses on optimizing your HQ/command system in a game where you manage:
  • Personnel via the Command Center
  • Resources via Operations / Logistics / Infirmary
• It also notes that bases can be raided (an enemy raid mechanic), which can occur if you’re inactive.

Gameplay Highlights & Key Systems

Command Center → Personnel / Hiring Reroll

• A hiring reroll happens about every 12 hours after you open the Command Center / hiring area.
• You can hire candidates of different grades, and that impacts your HQ efficiency.

Hiring Strategy by Employee Grade

• The creator advises against spending heavily on low-to-mid grades early (examples: C-, C, C-, B-), since it can:
  • Waste money
  • Over-focus your HQ without long-term payoff
• Instead:
  • Wait for better candidates
  • Aim around B+ first, then A later

Deliveries / Logistics / Operations

• Operations: helps you obtain materials needed for the HQ.
• Deliveries: mainly transports/delivers those materials.
  • It’s treated as less important than Operations personnel.
• Deliveries upgrades: don’t need to be frequent early—just run it periodically.

Infirmary

• You have an infirmary, but currently lack a doctor.
• This leaves a character injured/bleeding, though it isn’t immediately critical.
• The suggestion is to hire better personnel via the Command Center when possible.

Step-by-Step: HQ Management Routine

When entering the game

1. Open the Command Center.
2. Go to Personnel → Hiring / candidate.
3. Hire the best next-level candidate available via the reroll.
4. If necessary, place lower-tier staff into supportive roles (e.g., Deliveries).

When distributing focus

• Keep Operations staffed enough to keep materials flowing.
• Avoid over-upgrading Deliveries early; focus on efficiency since deliveries mostly move materials.

When you’re about to leave

• Re-check the Command Center.
• Perform maintenance actions such as:
  • Selling / refilling
  • Allowing refresh cycles to work

When to invest more

• Only start making bigger investments in HQ upgrades once your personnel level reaches ~B+ (or higher).

Key Tips / Strategies

• Consistency > occasional grinding
  • Avoid spending excessive time on HQ in bursts.
  • Regular management helps prevent wasting upgrades/resources.
• Avoid resource lock-in
  • Over-upgrading too early can leave you with no resources and limits open-world income.
• Raid warning
  • Raids are possible, especially after inactivity.
  • Staying active reduces raid frequency, but you don’t need to babysit the HQ all day.
