Crime, Robberies & Holdups

/rob [player] steals a cut of someone's cash, never their bank. There's a 1 min cooldown. A success adds 2★, a failure 1★. You can't rob somebody who is sitting in a vehicle.

Every location has its own minimum payout and a fixed maximum, and the reward grows with the number of players online. A quiet server pays less, and a full city pays everything. Payouts also move with the city's faction balance.

At set holdup spots (stand within 5 blocks), /holdup pays $2,000 every 3 s, up to $40,000. It's a 4★ crime, and you have to stand perfectly still. Move and the holdup ends, though you keep what you've already grabbed. There's a 10 min cooldown.

Police can't do holdups, and payouts scale with the city's faction balance.

A Lockpick ($30,000 at the General Store NPC) lets you try a door or chest in someone else's house or rented room. You have a 40% chance, there's a 1 min cooldown, and the pick is used up on every try.

A success adds 1★, and it alerts the owner, the room's renter and every cop. Lockpicking is loud. Bring a friend.

Police can walk through doors without a lockpick, but they can't pick chests.

/houserob: stand at the centre of an owned house (within 3 blocks) and stay perfectly still for 30 s. You have a 50% chance to grab a cut of its cash vault. Moving cancels it, and the owner has to be online. The owner and the police are alerted, it adds 4★, and there's a 15 min cooldown.

Kidnappers grab the nearest player, collect $15,000 at once and set a ransom. Read the Kidnapper guide for the full playbook, including how victims escape.

Taking over a vehicle that isn't yours is a crime: it adds 1★ (Grand Theft Auto), once each time it changes hands. Anyone can take an unlocked one. Only a Car Jacker can try a locked one, with a 60% chance. Destroying someone else's vehicle adds 2★.
