Gangster Guide

What is a Gangster?

A Gangster is a player who has chosen a criminal path and engages in activities such as turfing, fighting other gangsters, and participating in various criminal actions. To become a gangster, simply type the command /gangster in the chat.

Main Objectives of a Gangster

The primary activities for gangsters revolve around turfing and defending turfs, as well as engaging in gang wars with rival factions. Gangsters are also involved in the following:

Claiming turfs
Defending turfs
Fighting other gangsters
Gang wars

Turfing in LV

What is Turfing? Turfing is the act of capturing and controlling gang territories in LV (Las Venturas) and LS (Los Santos). As a gangster, your main goal is to capture enemy turfs and defend your own from rival gangsters.

How to Turf?

To start turfing, you must be a member of a group.
Enter a turf as a gangster and stay in it.
Your group name will appear in the bottom-right corner of the screen once you're inside the turf.

How to Take a Turf?

To capture a turf, stay in the area until it reaches 50% progress. Once it reaches this threshold, the turf will be yours, and the enemy group's name will disappear.
You can leave the turf once it reaches 90%. However, if another player enters the turf while it’s above 90%, you will start losing the turf, so ensure it stays above 90% before leaving.

What to Do if Someone Attacks Your Turf?

If your turf is under attack, return to the turf and eliminate the enemy gangsters. Afterward, you can re-claim the turf.

How Do I Know if My Turf is Under Attack?

Your turf's color will flash on the map, and you'll receive a message at the top of the screen indicating that the turf is being attacked.

What Happens if I Die While Turfing?

If you die during a turf war, you will respawn at your closest turf. If your group has no turfs or if your turf is under attack, you will respawn at the hospital or the next closest turf.

Rewards for Turfing:

Turfing will increase your turfing stats, and you will earn money, reputation points, and occasionally drugs. The amount of money depends on the number of members online in your group. Additionally, oil turfs can reward you with 540-590 oil per group member and per taken turf.

How Many Turfs Are There in LV?

In LV, there are a total of 78 turfs:
- 60 land turfs
- 5 oil turfs
- 13 sea turfs

Turfing in LS

As a gangster, the primary focus is on turfing and engaging in gang wars. Below are the key activities a gangster can participate in:

Gangsters can claim and defend turfs in LS. Unlike LV, the turfing system in LS has its own unique mechanics.
Reputation Points (RP) are awarded based on the number of turfs you hold and the number of gangsters online.

Fighting Other Gangsters:

Gangsters can kill other gangsters anywhere outside of Armed Robberies (AR) and Criminal Events (CE).
You can attack rival gangsters in turf wars or outside of turfs.

Special Abilities:

Gangsters can use Molotovs only when they have a wanted level.
Gangsters are assigned a special purple color and purple blip color.

Official Criminal Groups:
- Gangsters can belong to an official criminal group and have their group job moved into the gangster team.

Turf Pay:

Turfing in LS will reward you with reputation points based on the number of turfs your group holds.
The turf pay is distributed as follows:
- 50% to the group if the player is in the lowest group rank.
- 10% to the group if the group has a level.
- 0% if the group does not have a level.

Gangster Restrictions

While gangsters have access to many features, there are certain restrictions:

Jetpack Restrictions

Gangsters cannot use a jetpack in the main dimension.
Using a jetpack in the last 180 seconds will restrict you from becoming a gangster.

Custom Respawns

If a gangster kills another gangster, they won't be able to select custom respawns to prevent abuse.

Turf Reset

LS turfs will reset every 168 hours (7 days).

Gangster Rewards

Reputation Points (RP): Gangsters gain RP for actions such as turfing, hijacking, and delivering briefcases.
Money: Gangsters earn money through various activities like briefcase deliveries and hijack missions.

What is a Briefcase?

Briefcases are special items that spawn randomly in LS. They are crucial for gangsters to grab and deliver for money and reputation points.

How to Handle a Briefcase?

Pick up the briefcase and deliver it to the van blip on your map.
Other gangsters can try to steal the briefcase from you, so be prepared to defend it.

What Do I Get for Successfully Delivering the Briefcase?

In LS, you receive $25,000 and 50 wanted points for each successful briefcase delivery.
In LV, you earn money based on the number of gangsters online and your distance traveled.

Super Briefcase:

A Super Briefcase offers higher rewards:
- $100,000 in LS.
- 500% more money in LV.

Hijack Mission

What is Hijack?

Hijack is a mission where gangsters steal vehicles and deliver them to a truck for cash and reputation points.

How to Start Hijack?

Look for the CJ blip on the map and enter the hijack vehicle.
Deliver the vehicle to the truck blip marked on the map.

Can Other Gangsters Steal the Hijack from Me?

Yes, other gangsters can steal the hijacked vehicle if you don't deliver it quickly enough.

What Do I Get for Successfully Delivering the Hijack Vehicle?

Money rewards depend on the number of criminal gangsters online and the distance you travel. You typically earn over $20,000 and 1,000 reputation points.

Weed Farming

Gangsters can harvest weed at the weed farm.
Use /weedtime to know when the weed is ready and /gps to locate the farm.

Criminal Events (CEs) and Armed Robberies (ARs)

Criminal Events (CEs):

Criminal Events (CEs) are auto-heists that start every 10 minutes. While they are not the main objective of being a gangster, participating in CEs will earn you money, reputation points, and sometimes drugs.

Armed Robberies (ARs):

ARs are auto-heists that start every 3 minutes. Similar to CEs, ARs provide rewards, but the main focus for gangsters is turfing and gang wars.

Other Gangster Activities

As a gangster, you can engage in the following activities:

Fighting Cops: Gangsters can fight cops and other law enforcement in turf wars or outside.
Riots: Participate in riots hosted by Criminal Bosses to gain rewards.
