The problem with Pay Grade is, it's only viable in Single Player and standard Multiplayer games/events. If you're playing Nightmare Mode, it's wasted.

Pay Grade as it says inceases the game reward by the designated percentage, but as it's only increasing the game reward and not the loot you obtain within the game, you suffer due to this, as loots may often drop more than your reward.

Another issue you might be having is if you're playing NM. Everyone plays Zombie Pods, but the problem there is that (statistics of flash version) the map isn't as reliable as most players think. It may be the fastest and easiest to complete, but it has one of the lowest loot/exp rewards of all the maps. You're better of playing Onslaught, VIP, Powerout and Ice Station for the better money drops and rewards to keep the money up if money is more your concern than elite drops and exp.

I had these same sorts of problems when I started playing, but this was before Nightmare and [BLACK] expensive equipment didn't exist. The solution I had to deal with for some time was more points in Field Supplies (minimum of 8), and run using cheap guns until I could afford bulk ammo purchases.
