How LS Turfing Works

LS turfing is part of the gangster turf system.

To turf in Los Santos:

Be on gangster side.
Be in a gang or group.
Enter the turf zone.
Stay inside it to build control.

LS turfing also uses:

Graffiti

Turfs belong to groups, not solo players.

A maximum of 4 players from the same group contribute to the progress earned by standing in the turf.

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

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

LS Turfs

Los Santos has 39 turf clusters, each made of several single turfs.

Several of them are drug turfs.

LS turfs reset every 7 days.

Drug turfs give drugs instead of normal cash payouts.

LS Turf Rewards

You must be in LS and have entered a turf in the last 15 minutes to receive payments. Being in a vehicle does not prevent payment.

Holding LS turfs gives group rewards.

These can include:

Passive income
Group reputation or XP
Drugs
Oil
Other resources

A defended turf gives your group reputation.

Holding it also keeps its passive payout.

LS turf pay can also be directed to the group bank. VIP does not increase LS cash, oil, or drug turf payments.

An LS cash turf gives RP equal to floor(pre-split cash / 200).

Special LS turf payouts

These LS turfs pay drugs instead of normal cash:

East LS Docks Turf
East Los Santos Turf
Verona Beach Turf
Vinewood Turf

These LS turfs pay oil instead of normal cash:

The 2 cargo ship clusters at sea: LS Bay Cargoship Cluster and Gas Cargoship Cluster
West LS Docks Cluster

LS Turf Map

LS has a turf cluster map on F11.

If you zoom in on F11, it can show turf clusters instead of single turfs to reduce clutter.

Cluster text is only visible to gangsters.
