Between the cost of the materials and the risk involved, I feel the payout should increase a little or the cost of the materials go down/durability goes up.
Hey, we tweaked the reward values and if this still an issue, please open a feedback post again in the future.

Follow-up feedback as of writing this comment, 5 stacks is still not really worth it over just hacking it. I believe the best way to balance it out without increasing the payout further is to make the equipment needed to pull ATMs off the wall last for like 4-5 ATMs. For example, the device needed to hack an ATM costs around the same but lasts for 3 ATMs, the equipment to pull it should last around 4 or 5 ATMs before having to re-purchase them as obviously pulling and drilling has more risk involved than just hacking it. One has to decide between spending 2.5-3k on the hacking equipment and hack 3 ATMs or spend that amount on the pulling equipment and pull like 4-5 ATMs with more risk.
TLDR; Make equipment last 4-5 ATMs while keeping payout at 5 stacks that way its balanced with hacking.
