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	`15` 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. The Info Board at the bottom left shows healing progress.

Event limit and medics

At the 15 minute limit, all players are ejected outside instead of being killed. A warning appears 2 minutes before the limit.

When a player enters a Criminal Event, their personal vehicle is hidden automatically.

Criminal Medics are invisible while inside a Criminal Event. They can heal standing and crouched players, and the Info Board shows heal statistics.

Current entry and equipment limits

The Criminal Event limit is 15 minutes. At the limit, cops and criminals are ejected outside instead of killed, with a warning 2 minutes before the limit.

Jetpack and Minigun cannot be used in the Criminal Event dimension.
Personal vehicle recovery is disabled in the entrance safe zone.
You cannot enter if you fired a weapon within the last 8 seconds.
Your personal vehicle is hidden automatically when you enter.

Before the event starts, leave through the blue marker. After it starts, /kill is the manual way to exit.

Joining and result displays

Enter through the green marker and wait in the staging area. When the gate opens, the objective is to eliminate the attending Police side. Entering gives Capital Felony Armed Robbery and 60 Wanted Points.

The HUD uses K for kills, A for assists, and D for damage. With 1 minute of anti rush remaining, the event warns that anti rush protection will be disabled in 1 minute. After dying, re-entry uses the current 20 second cooldown and shows the remaining time. Personal and public result fields appear when the event ends.

During the 10 second exit delay, press N for the skydiving exit.

Re-entry after death

The normal post-death re-entry cooldown is 80 seconds. It is reduced to 40 seconds when your side has fewer than 60% of the opposing side's player count. The entrance and /ce show the remaining time.

Idle ejection

The maximum idle time in a Criminal Event is 2 minutes. A player ejected for idling dies instead of using the ejection to escape. Standing still while actively aiming does not trigger the idle ejection.
