Getting Cutting Edge Materials
You’ll need to purchase the Cutting Edge Fashion Foundry Venture to get Cutting Edge Materials. You can unlock this new business by upgrading your Criminal Empire to Tier three. You’ll need multiple ventures, with a few completed, to unlock tier three businesses. This will include Cutting Edge, which costs $400,000.
After you’ve completed all of the business-related tasks, you’ll be able to access the “Body of Evidence” mission. This shouldn’t take too long to finish. Once it’s done, you’ll be able to get to tier three business ventures at the Empire Table. Some of the business ventures available at this level include Cutting Edge.
You’ll see new icons with a business’s logo on your map once you unlock Cutting Edge. If you hover over the icon, you’ll get a description of what you’re looking for, along with a few clues. To locate a specific item, click the icon and follow the directions. Once you find it, take a picture with your phone’s camera.
Finding and taking a picture of the right object will unlock a new material for you to use. This material can be customized for your clothes, guns, and vehicles.
