Criminal Event

Criminal Events, usually called CEs, are public events where criminals and police fight over an objective like a robbery, raid, or special scenario.

CEs are different from Armed Robberies. Armed Robberies are outdoor fixed spot robberies that start by aiming at a robbery ped. Criminal Events use the CE event timer and flow.

How to use CE

CE means Criminal Event. Use /ce to see the current event, timer, and how many criminals and cops are inside. Use /ce update or /crimevent update to keep the Criminal Event display on the bottom right, for example SAB 6 min | 0 v 0.

Criminals can enter a Criminal Event after taking damage, but they cannot exit while wanted. Gangsters switch to Criminal when they enter a Criminal Event.

Player rules and limits

Rule	Value
Anti rush	`3` minutes
Projectile cooldown	`60` seconds
CE time limit	`20` minutes
Warning before time limit	`2` minutes before the limit
AR and CE gap	`5` minutes
Damage reputation	`1` RP for each `4 HP` of damage

CEs give armor when they start and when they end. Late entrants get a reward based on the percentage of event time they spent inside.

Rewards and damage

Criminals fight police over the event objective. Killing a cop in CE gives 1,700 RP, and escaping gives $15,000.

CE kill rewards are split equally between the top 4 damagers of a killed player. A top kill tie in CE or AR is decided by highest damage. CE top killers and top damagers need to be enabled in /settings.

Medics

Medics are invisible to criminals and cops inside Criminal Events. They can heal while standing or crouched. /myheals shows healing done at bottom left and who has the most healing for CE or AR.
