Gameplay FAQ
Street Crime gameplay basics
Start with the core loop, understand risk, Heat and timers, and build a gangster who is ready for the multiplayer world.
What kind of game is Street Crime?
Street Crime is a persistent browser-based multiplayer gangster game. You build one character through crimes, vehicle theft, trading, crews, turf, businesses and conflict with other players. Your progress and the shared world continue between visits.
What should I do first?
Your first login opens Vinnie's walkthrough: six short chapters that pay you for each job you finish, from your first petty crime and Don Corleone's rank-one First Blood mission to the gym, a buddy and a free crew application. You can skip a step you are not ready for. Begin with lower-risk petty crimes, watch the displayed chance and your Heat, and add vehicle theft and trading gradually. Keep part of your cash protected.
Where do I change my character's look?
Open the Character Studio to preview and save a look for one of six characters. The wardrobe shows pieces you own, pieces for sale and rewards from rank, missions, other milestones or discoveries. Trying on a preview does not buy an item; check its displayed cash or credit cost before purchase. Save the look to update the portrait shown to other players.
How do ranks work?
Successful activities contribute to your character's progress. Higher ranks open more of the game, but rank alone does not replace cash, vehicles, equipment, information or allies. The ranking page explains the progression order without pretending there is one perfect route.
Why do some actions have timers or Heat?
Some actions, such as drug deals, flights and organised crime, still run on timers that set the pace of the shared world. Petty crime, car theft and Getaway use Heat instead: you can go again straight away, but every attempt raises your Heat and lowers your chance until it cools. Use the quiet minutes to check another system, compare city prices, talk to your crew or plan the next risk.
