Cash couriers

Hunter or hunted

The bosses of the streets and the resale game send a courier to collect their takings. Hire yours so you never do the rounds again, or intercept everyone else's.

Your courier#

Got girls on the street or dealers at work? Hire a courier in the Courier app on your phone, once and for all. He needs a place of yours: he leaves from there (your respawn home first) and brings the money back to its safe.

  1. He heads outEvery 15 min, if you've moved in the last 10 min and at least $800 is waiting. He leaves when nobody's watching: you'll never see him pop in.
  2. He collects6 stops at most, biggest takings first, nearest one each time. He takes the money, never the product: restocking is still your job.
  3. He drops it offIn your place's safe, minus his 18% cut. Your reputation bonus on the round goes straight into your pocket as cash. Safe full: he holds on to the rest and drops it off as soon as there's room.

You can follow his car on your map, even from far away. If someone shoots at him, he texts you, drops his remaining stops and floors it home, running red lights. Your crewmates get warned too: go cover him.

The Courier app shows what's waiting, the next round and the bag on the road. You can pause him, start him again or fire him (not during a round).

Robbing one#

When a round starts, the whole server is told, but with no position: his car is never on your map. Informants sometimes send you a rough area of his next stop, if you're within 2.5 km. He stops there 8 s, hazard lights on.

Shoot the driverfast

  • He's armed, but alone. Driver dead: the bag is yours.

Wreck the carloud

  • Car on fire, you still get the bag.

Drag him outquiet

  • Driver out of his car for more than 15 s: the bag drops.

The bag goes to the last player who hit the driver or his car, straight as cash. Otherwise it drops on the ground for whoever comes by first. The robber gets a bounty: 25% of the bag, at least $1,000.

Boss side: if you or a crewmate shoots your own courier, the bag goes down with him, lost. And logging off while he's under attack drops it for the others.
