💰 Crime Pays

If You're Willing to Get Your Hands Dirty, There's Money to be Made.

Not every player is interested in working a 9-to-5.

Crime Pays brings together three criminal-focused systems designed to give your players more ways to make money outside the legal economy.

Search through dumpsters for hidden valuables, visit the black market to buy and sell items, or steal vehicles and turn them into profit at the chop shop.

Your city just got a lot more dangerous — and a lot more profitable.
