Gangster

Gangster is one of the 4 main sides in CIT.

It is the side focused on groups, turf wars, Briefcases, Hijack missions, and gangster PvP.

Overview

Gangster is a group-based side.

It is mainly built around:

Turfing
Group fights
Briefcases
Hijack missions
Gangster PvP

Gangsters mainly make money from:

Turf payouts
Group rewards
Briefcases
Hijack missions

Gangster gameplay is split into 2 main cities:

Los Santos
Las Venturas

Los Santos and Las Venturas do not work exactly the same, so they are usually explained separately.

How To Become a Gangster

To become a gangster:

Use /gangster
Or press X and click Go Gangster

After becoming a gangster, the main thing to do is join a gang or group first.

Then focus on turfing, Briefcases, Hijack missions, and /highlight.

How the Gangster Side Works

Gangster is different from the Criminal side.

Gangsters focus on groups, turfs, and gangster tools.

A lot of gangster gameplay is based on group control and group fighting, not solo play.

Turfs belong to groups, not solo players.

LS and LV

Gangster gameplay is split between LS and LV.

LS Gangster

LS gangster gameplay focuses on:

LS turfing
Graffiti
Influence control
Group turf fights

Los Santos has 39 turfs.

Several LS turfs are drug turfs.

LS turfs reset every 7 days.

LV Gangster

LV gangster gameplay focuses on:

LV turfing
Turf wars
Briefcases
Hijack missions
Group fights

Las Venturas has 78 turfs:

60 land turfs
13 sea turfs
5 oil turfs

Oil turfs are the 5 LV turfs that give oil instead of cash.

One important difference is:

LV Gangsters can use grenades and RPGs
LS Gangsters cannot

Turfing

Turfing is gangster PvP where groups fight for map areas and fill the capture bar to 100% to take control.

To turf properly, you need:

Gangster side
A gang or group

How turfing works:

Enter the turf zone as a gangster in a group.

Stay inside it to build control.

Defend it while your group builds the bar.

Important turfing rules include:

Up to 4 players from the same group count for standing progress
Getting killed lowers your group's control
Defending or re-entering the turf stops the other group from taking it

In LV, the turf is taken by standing in it and defending it.

In LS, turfing also uses graffiti and influence control.

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

Turf Rewards

Holding turfs gives group rewards.

These can include:

Passive income
Group reputation or XP
Drugs
Oil
Iron
Other resources

A defended turf gives your group reputation.

Holding it also keeps its passive payout.

Turfing also gives 120+ RP depending on your activity and time in the turf.

Other Gangster Activities

Briefcase

Briefcase is a gangster-only competitive task in LS or LV.

A Briefcase spawns randomly on the map.

A gangster picks it up and runs it on foot to the van blip while other players try to kill them and steal it.

While carrying it:

You cannot glue
You cannot enter vehicles
You can use /dropitem to drop it

In LS, the Briefcase shows as a brown briefcase blip.

In LV, it shows as a green dollar sign.

Hijack

Hijack is a gangster mission.

To start it:

Join gangster side.

Look for the purple car blip.

Enter the vehicle to start the mission.

Other gangsters can interfere and steal the vehicle if you are too slow or stop moving.

Hijack gives cash and 1,000 RP.

The cash reward depends on gangster count and delivery distance.

Weed Farm

Weed Farm is a gangster-only harvest activity.

Use /weedtime to check whether the harvest is ready.

Go to Weed Farm with a Combine Harvester and harvest the field to collect 1000 weed.

Harvesting also gives wanted points.

Commands and Tools

Useful gangster commands and tools include:

/gangster
/highlight
/lasttakeover
/weedtime
/dropitem

Use F11 to check turfs on the map.

In LS, you may need to zoom in more to see the turf clusters clearly.

Use /highlight to mark groups or players so they are easier to track in fights.

Gangster Highlight has these tabs:

Group
Players
Customize

Group highlights stay after reconnecting or logging in.

Use /lasttakeover to see who made the last LS and LV takeover and when it happened.
