LS Turfs

LS Turfs are the Los Santos turf system for the gangster side in CIT.

LS turf facts

Los Santos has 39 turf clusters, each made of several single turfs. Several are drug turfs. LS turfs reset once every 168 hours, which is 7 days.

In LS, turfing uses graffiti and influence control. Grenades and RPGs cannot be used there.

Map and attack details

Armed peds inside LS turfs attack outlaws who enter while in a hostile group. Zooming on F11 can show turf clusters instead of single turfs to reduce clutter. Cluster text is only visible to gangsters.

An LS turf is under attack when it goes under 50%. Gangsters in LS are removed for being AFK after 20 minutes.

Resource turfs

The 4 oil clusters hold 32 single turfs: LS Bay Cargoship Cluster (2), Gas Cargoship Cluster (3), Playa Del Seville Cluster (10), and West LS Docks Cluster (17). The 4 drug clusters hold 58 single turfs: East Los Santos Cluster (13), Vinewood Cluster (13), East LS Docks Cluster (14), and Verona Beach Cluster (18). The number of single turfs in an oil or drug cluster does not change its oil or drug payment.

How LS Turfs Work

To take part in LS turfing:

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

LS turfing uses:

Graffiti

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.

Requirements

To turf in LS, you need:

Gangster side
A group

You can switch to gangster with:

/gangster

Rewards

LS turf rewards use the Gangster earn limit of $550,000 per real-life hour, or $640,000 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.

Oil and drug payouts from turfs count toward the earn limit at a money value, not only the cash. With LS turfs the limit is reached after about 8 to 12 payments, that is 40 to 60 minutes.

Each eligible member is paid every 5 minutes. Cash is the turf part plus floor(17000 / members counted). The turf part rises in $45 steps to $16,335 (363 steps). The result is capped at $31,000 before the group-bank share, giving at most $27,900 after a 10% share or $15,500 after a 50% share. Only a member counted alone reaches the cap. At the highest turf part, with a 10% bank share, payments for 2 through 10 counted members are $22,351, $19,800, $18,526, $17,761, $17,251, $16,886, $16,614, $16,400, and $16,231 respectively.

The member count is shared across the whole group, not just those receiving payment; a member who receives nothing can still count. It splits the $17,000 cash and 150 oil. Each oil or drug turf is held by one group at a time.

Holding LS Turfs gives your group rewards.

These can include:

Passive income
Reputation or XP
Drugs
Oil
Other resources instead of normal cash

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).

Drug Turfs and Resource Turfs

Some LS turfs pay drugs or resources instead of normal cash.

Drug payout turfs

Every 5 minutes each paid member receives 70 units of one random drug: Weed, Crack, Steroids, LSD, God, or Speed. Owning 1 or 4 drug turfs normally pays the same 70; with only 1 claimed and at least 10 members counted, it can fall to 60-68. Hourly Double Earnings raises 70 to 140.

These LS turfs pay drugs instead of cash:

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

Oil payout turfs

Every 5 minutes each paid member receives 25 oil per claimed oil turf (1-4), plus 150 oil divided by the members counted and rounded down. Four turfs with 5 counted members pay 130 oil each; 1 turf with 8 pay 43 each; a member counted alone with 4 receives 250. Hourly Double Earnings doubles the oil, capped at 320 per payment.

These LS turfs pay oil instead of cash:

The 2 cargo ships at sea: LS Bay Cargoship Cluster and Gas Cargoship Cluster
West LS Docks Cluster
Playa Del Seville Cluster
