Store Robbery

Store Robbery is a criminal activity where you rob a shop by aiming at the shopkeeper and staying inside until the robbery finishes.

How to rob a store

Go to a 24/7, 69c store, clothing shop, or food shop in Los Santos. Aim at the cashier and stay inside until the displayed robbery timer ends. The duration changes with danger level and repeated robberies at the same store.

Rewards and timer

Store Robbery pays $10,000, $10,500, $11,000, or $11,500, plus 340 RP. Your reward moves up through these steps and never down. With the 20% VIP cash bonus the cash steps are $12,000, $12,600, $13,200, and $13,800. Hourly Double Earnings doubles cash; over the earn limit only 10% is paid. Gas stations pay Oil and the Butcher Shop pays Meat instead of cash. Killing a cop cuts 30 seconds from the robbery.

The same store within 6 hours makes the robbery take longer each time.

Danger	Timer effect
`0.6`	`45%` faster
`0.8` or less	`30%` faster
`1` or less	`15%` faster
`2` to `2.2`	`15%` slower
`2.4` to `2.6`	`30%` slower
`2.8`	`45%` slower

Entering a vehicle during Store Robbery starts a countdown before the robbery fails. Leaving a store or petrol station robbery area gives 5 seconds to return, with a warning sound. A maximum of 2 barriers can be crafted in Store Robbery areas.

How the robbery works

Store Robbery is one of the smaller robberies in CIT.

It gives cash, Reputation Points, and Wanted Points.

Store Robbery speed is affected by Danger Level.

How it works

To do a Store Robbery:

Go to a robbable store with a shopkeeper.
Aim at the shopkeeper to start the robbery.
Stay inside until the robbery finishes.

The robbery duration is not fixed because danger level and repeatedly robbing the same store can change it.

If you kill a cop during the robbery, 30 seconds are removed from the timer.

Rewards

Store Robbery gives:

Cash from $10,000 to $11,500 in four 5% steps, or $12,000 to $13,800 with VIP
340 RP
Gas stations: about 130 to 139 Oil at $11,500 cash value, or 156 to 167 with VIP at $13,800
Butcher Shop: about 115 to 122 Meat at $11,500 cash value, or 140 to 156 (most often 140 or 141) with VIP at $13,800

Resource rewards are the store cash value divided by a moving resource price, rounded up. That price is about $89 to $100 for one Meat and mostly $83 to $89 for one Oil. Oil is doubled during hourly Double Earnings. Over the earn limit neither Oil nor Meat is given.

Wanted Points

Store Robbery gives 20 Wanted Points at the start and another 20 on completion (40 total).

Danger Level

Danger Level affects how fast Store Robbery finishes.

The Store Robbery speed changes are:

Danger 0.6 makes it 45% faster
Danger 0.8 or less makes it 30% faster
Danger 1 or less makes it 15% faster
Danger 2 to 2.2 makes it 15% slower
Danger 2.4 to 2.6 makes it 30% slower
Danger 2.8 makes it 45% slower

You can check Danger Level with:

CITPhone > Event Times

Use /dangerlevel update to keep Danger Level on your screen.

Cooldown and Repeat Robberies

If you rob the same store again too soon, the robbery takes longer.

Robbing the same store again within 6 hours makes the robbery take longer each time. When the timer resets, players who robbed a store in that period see Stores in LS have restocked goods which are ripe for stealing!

Starting and failing the robbery

Aim at the Store Robbery ped, then stay inside until the displayed timer ends. Starting a store robbery shows the green line Stay inside the store for 60 seconds to complete the robbery! and a bottom-right countdown such as 0:58 Remaining under Criminal. Starting it also displays You commit Felony Robbery (Store) and gives 20 Wanted Points.

Dying before the timer finishes fails the robbery. The duration varies with danger level and repeated robberies at the same store.

The base time is about 1 minute. Danger level and repeatedly robbing the same store can change the duration.

Police response

When a Store Robbery begins, police are notified and receive a GPS locator option for the store. A cop who kills the robber gets a $3,000 bonus ($3,600 with VIP) on top of normal kill-arrest pay. This bonus is doubled during hourly Double Earnings and reduced to 10% over the earn limit.

Current store access and security

Supported robbery locations include 24/7, 69c, clothing, and food shops in Los Santos. Gas stations can be robbed too. The /gps category Shops (Robbable) lists robbable shops. Barber robbery is not active. The Victim clothing store in Rodeo can be robbed.

Food and clothing shops have a security guard. Starting a robbery displays You commit Felony Robbery (Store) and gives 20 Wanted Points. Dying before the timer ends fails the robbery.

Cashiers and police alerts

Police are alerted when a Store Robbery starts. Store cashiers normally cannot be killed. If a cashier is killed, it respawns after a short wait and the store can be robbed again.
