LV Turfs

LV Turfs are the Las Venturas turf system for the gangster side in CIT.

LV turf facts

Las Venturas has 81 turfs:

62 mainland turfs
14 sea turfs
5 oil turfs

LV is the main gangster and turf war city. Gameplay in LV runs 20% faster than normal.

Combat and respawn notes

Gangsters killed while turfing in LV respawn at a turf claimed by their group.

Grenades and RPGs can be used in LV turfing. Gang members who die in LV can press 1 and choose LV Hospital or LV Sea Hospital, including outside a turf.

Resource turfs

Resources pay every 3 minutes. A payment normally gives 2-16 units of one random drug (Crack, God, LSD, Speed, Steroids, or Weed), 23-140 oil, or 15-68 iron; these are typical ranges, not fixed limits. Members in LV with the same group-bank share and AFK status receive the same cash and resource amounts.

Turf type	Examples
Oil	The `5` LV oil turfs
Random drug	West Whitewood Estates, East Whitewood Estates, KACC, LV Advanced Biking, Come-A-Lot
Iron	Greenglass College

Turf color

Use /turfcolor to open the turf color picker GUI. You can also use /turfcolor R G B. In LV, turf color changes are limited to 2 times per month. Changing the color does not repaint turfs already held.

Turf notes

LV Turfs are part of gangster gameplay in Las Venturas.

LV is the gangster and turf war city.

LV turfing is group based and focuses on standing in the turf, defending it, and keeping control.

These are split into:

62 mainland turfs
14 sea turfs

How LV Turfs Work

To take part in LV turfing:

Be on gangster side.
Be in a group.
Enter the turf zone.
Stay inside it and defend it.

In LV, stand inside the turf and defend it to build control. It becomes yours once your control passes 50%; you do not have to reach 100%.

Turfs belong to groups, not solo players.

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.

If your group has nobody online in LV, its turf percent drops 3 times faster.

Current turf count

Las Venturas currently has 81 turfs: 62 mainland turfs, 14 sea turfs, and 5 oil turfs. Grenades and RPGs can be used in LV turfs.

Current LV capture and payment rules

A group with no turfs captures twice as fast, except during its first hour and after 50 such speed increases within 20 minutes.
Turf control from a kill is doubled when the killer is unfairly outnumbered.
Alliances can capture LV turfs.
/kill takes 10 seconds in LV.
LV turf colors can be changed up to 2 times each month.
A group with nobody online loses LV turf percentage 3x faster.

An inactive member in LV receives half of the normal turf share. Cash shares include another $2,000, are capped at $32,000 per 3 minute payment, and then use the group bank split. Resource Double Earnings applies to resource payouts, Oil and Iron are capped at 1,000 units, and this resource payment does not give criminal RP.

LV payment eligibility

LV turf payments to Gangsters use a $750,000 hourly earn limit ($840,000 with VIP), while other Gangster payments, including LS turfs, use $550,000 ($640,000 with VIP). A group member on a police job in LV can receive the group turf payments but keeps the police limit of $600,000 ($690,000 with VIP). The hourly earn counter is shared across teams, but the applicable limit depends on your team when paid. The payment that crosses the limit is cut to the amount remaining; subsequent cash payments give 10%, and drug and resource rewards stop until the next real-life hour. VIP adds a fixed $90,000 to the limit. Hourly Double Earnings or a Double Earnings token doubles the limit.

LV turf cash counts toward the earn limit with its full amount, before the group bank share is taken off. Oil, iron and drugs from LV turfs count at a money value that changes from day to day.

You must be in LV to receive your group's LV turf payments. Each eligible member receives a share from every applicable cash turf. The shares are added together with a fixed $2,000, capped at $32,000 per 3 minute payment, and then processed through the group bank split.

If you are considered AFK, you receive half of each cash turf's normal share, and the drug, oil, and iron payments drop to about half. The fixed $2,000 is not halved. You are still paid every 3 minutes while AFK, and the cash can still reach the $32,000 cap. Once you are active, you count as active for about 15 minutes (5 payments). After that, payments are at the half rate until you are active again. Buying things or using transport does not make you active.

A group holding only resource turfs receives their drugs, oil, or iron but no turf cash, not even the fixed $2,000.
