Crews and organised crime

What joining a crew changes

A crew connects your character to a named group with a crew boss, members, recruitment choices and shared communication. It gives players a structure for learning, planning organised crimes and responding to competition. The crew name matters less than whether its members communicate clearly and follow through on agreed jobs.

Finding the right crew

Recruiting crews can accept applications from players who are not already in a crew. Read the crew profile, look at its leadership and activity, and ask what the crew expects before applying. A useful crew should be able to explain how it communicates, which activities it prioritises and how new members can contribute.

• Look for leadership that answers practical questions instead of making unsupported promises.
• Check whether the crew is recruiting and whether there is room for another member.
• Ask which times members normally coordinate organised crimes or conflict.
• Do not share account access. Crew cooperation never requires giving another player control of your character.
• Leave enough time to respond when an organised-crime invitation arrives, because invitations do not remain open forever.

Organised crime needs reliable roles

Organised crimes are coordinated bank jobs for five players: the leader, weapons expert, explosives expert, driver and lookout. Every member must accept, prepare the equipment for their role, move to the crime city and mark themselves ready. Joining a job you cannot complete wastes the organiser's preparation, so confirm your availability and requirements first.

• A character must reach Bodyguard before joining an organised crime and Assassin before leading one.
• The driver needs a suitable vehicle in the same city as the organised crime.
• Weapons, explosives and lookout equipment affect whether the team is properly prepared.
• The team has 24 hours to assemble and attempt the job before it is automatically dismantled.
• After an attempt, participants must wait 24 hours before another organised crime.

Leadership and succession

Crews have persistent leadership and can name a successor. That structure matters because a multiplayer group needs continuity when circumstances change. Crew bosses should treat recruiting, member expectations and succession as long-term responsibilities, not just another status symbol.

Crews and the wider world

Crew relationships reach into turf, city competition and player conflict. Before escalating a rivalry, understand who else is involved and what your crew has agreed. The persistent world remembers careless decisions through lost resources, damaged relationships and future retaliation.
