10/12 Gang/Criminal Meeting Suggestions

So this is technically more than one idea bundled together.

The main idea is a bit like city hall, but for criminals - a ped put in place that we can go to for “jobs” these would be Petty jobs in particular that could earn rewards and give rewarding experience with a progression system built in place. Like jobs on the civ side, these jobs can earn experience and you can get better at, and have a payout, this payout could be in dirty money - notes, etc., or even in cash. Hilariously, could even build in a retirement system - may be a bit tougher, in which you’ve earned “Street cred”

Rank One: New to the Streets

Job One: Parking Meter Violence/ Stop Sign Vandalism

Steal 10 Parking Meters and bring them back to Joe
-Stealing Parking Meters requires a con saw and sledgehammer

- Steal 15 Stop Signs and bring them back to Joe
- Stealing this requires a sledgehammer

Job Two: The Art of Thievery
- Siphon Gas out of 10 Cars into blue Jerry cans - sell to Billy at Legion Gas Station
- License Plate Theft - steal 20 license plates with a screwdriver - take them to James by the docks and get a fake plate and a small payout.

Rank Two: A little Less Petty
Job One:
Laundry Pods: Instead of stealing from Locals, force them to clean up their act! They are dirty locals! Feed them this here laundry pod. Run up to a local and “use” the pod, and expect them to try to fight you! or run away!

Job Two: Drilling ATMS
Take this here drill and these bits, and get to drilling those atms. This job is not for the single or faint hearted, it takes at least two people! Que up on lInkup - drill the ATM free, then use this rope to hook onto it, and then two people have to run in the same direction to haul the ATM with them! (causes foot chases funny scenes for cops to chase crims on foot!) maybe a little bigger payout since your on foot! You can’t get on a vehicle while tied to a rope! Take the ATM to a secluded location and hack it to remove the tracker which goes off every 30 seconds


These ideas are just basics to give more to the petty crime scene, but I love the idea of ped a bit like city hall that “leads” you into getting into the petty crime scene and gives you rewards.


The second part of this is about a couple of different ideas.

Illegal Trucking:
Go speak to Jim Bob up at Paleto, he’s got an illegal trucking job for ya (maybe found at Tier 3 petty crime table?)

Haul illegal goods, drugs / explosive materials/ gun crates (not stuff you could use but that would have a high payout- and a chance of cooking yourself)


The last part was an additiion as I heard many people asking for higher payouts, and I came up with an idea while I was listening that might offer more than “just make it pay more” but that would offer more excitement, more payout, and more risk! Get that blood pumping properly!

The idea I will use can be used for any of the big heists in different formats, I’ll use Vangie’s as an example.

You have a random chance to get the “big gem” at Vangie’s. The big gem is worth a heavy chunk of money! But it puts the gem in your hands - this can be in any person in the group - it sells for X amount of money - is somewhat rare, but you have a chance to get it! But it puts a great big target on your back. As it’s an item it has a proper, can’t be put in backpacks, and means you will be the one that the cops are all chasing down if it gets to feet chase.

This can be used in most heists in different formats and things like House burglary - wear the bag, and you have a chance for much better loot..but ..the cops might get a random alarm cause the bag jingles and is noisy! Don’t make it call them every time - but maybe 10% of the time upon entering the house with a silent alarm. This gives the cops more of a chance of finding someone IN a house, but it also provides the player with a chance for fun and even more excitement/stress, and if people don’t WANT to use it, they can do houses the normal way.

The next idea I had was about boosting, which I noticed was a common complaint - and I heard someone, and I’m not sure who -say that they wanted it the way it was, but I did come up with a neat idea to make it more useful and more fun.
Right now the common complaint seems to be the que: I agree that there should be a que, but right now you do 20 cars for D class,then go into C class, at C class you get a tracker and sometimes that means you get cops. I’m fine with that, but the hack is not a skill based hack it’s a hunt and find the numbers. My idea would take C’s and make them not have a tracker, since your still pretty early in boosting and then tracking could kick in with B class - this would make the que a little easier and less stressful for the cops too instead of having C, B, A and S, they would only have boosts to deal with in the BAS variety, so C’s and D’s would not ping cops. This might give more of a gentle slope.

The last thing I wanted to bring up was the idea of a crooked NPC - you go to him and he “hacks” into the system, and can put an actual vin on a vin-scratched car in the system - this could be a great money dump, and if a car has this done, does not count towards the “boost” limit of two. This would also allow people to sell a car that has been input into the system. Maybe for a D class car, it costs (these are just example prices)
For a D Class Vin Hacker Input into the system: It costs 50k
For a C Class Vin Hacker Input into the system: It costs 120k
For an A Class Vin Hacker Input into the system: 175K (the idea being that most A class cars sell around 200k so the most someone would make off one is around 200-210, so they wouldn’t ruin the economy but had a way to either “keep” the car, or sell it!
Ect. This keeps it from being a HUGE money maker because it costs to do, but offers more cars for places that buy cars like toms - and it allows people that do boost and scratch a neat way to get “rid” of a boost, instead of running into VPD and going “I’m leaving a scratched car in front if you wanna crunch it.” which just seems weird (saw this with my own eyes)
