The Profit Hunt is a specialized combat mission mode in Idle Outpost that allows you to deploy your survivor against waves of the undead to harvest valuable Marbles. These Marbles serve as a unique currency that can be systematically turned in to get Trade Gear chests to optimize your Trade mode profit parameters.
To access this mode, open the Missions menu from your main game interface hub and tap on the Profit Hunt icon.
