Defending Turfs

Defending Turfs is the part of turfing where your group protects a turf from being taken by another group.

Overview

Criminals can fight in turfs, but they cannot capture or defend them.

To defend a turf, you must be on gangster side and be in a group.

Turfs belong to groups, not solo players.

Be on gangster side.

Be in a group.

Enter the turf zone.

Stay inside it with your group.

Fight the attacking group.

Stop them from filling the bar and taking control.

Up to 4 players from the same group count for standing progress.

If you get killed, your group's control goes down.

Defending or re-entering the turf stops the other group from taking it.
