Dealer network
Passive incomeNo more selling by the gram. Post your dealers on the corners, hand them your product, they move it while you're busy elsewhere. Until the cops show up.
The plan#
- RecruitIn the phone's Network app, or on the board (
/network). Paid once, he stays with you from one session to the next. - Post himFree dealing spots are on the map. Press [E] on the spot and he sets up.
- Supply him[E] next to him to hand over product from your own stash, bought from the supplier, in lots of 5, 10 and 25. The board shows what each product pays here. No product, no business.
- Let it runAs long as you're online, passersby come and buy. You get a text when he runs dry, and when his take gets big.
- Collect[E] next to him, in cash. Your reputation boosts what you get. You can also take his product back.
From the app, you can tell him to pack up remotely: he keeps his product and his take for next time. A courier can make the rounds of the takes for you; the product is always on you.
The dealers#
| Profile | Price | Level | Carries | Armed | Getting him out early |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Street dealer | $3,000 | 0 | 15 | no | $100 / min |
| Seasoned dealer | $15,000 | 10 | 30 | yes | $250 / min |
| Spot boss | $45,000 | 25 | 60 | yes, and armored | $500 / min |
Level means your reputation; one more slot at levels 5, 15 and 30.
He sells at the neighborhood's street price, just like you dealing: local tastes, rushes and saturation. His sales push the corner's price down just like yours. And he learns the trade as he sells: each level gives +10% room on him, sales 6% faster and +3% on the price, over 5 levels. To fire him, he has to be off the street, with no take and no product on him.
The raid#
Every sale heats up the spot. One customer snitches and the cops roll in: you've got 60 s to get him out (from the app or on site). Too late? Product and take seized, 15 min in custody, and the spot is burned for 10 min.
The heat cools down over time: the app shows it spot by spot.
Other players#
They can shake him down (gun pointed at him for a few seconds) or kill him: they leave with the take and the product. Armed dealers may pull their gun instead of folding, and shoot back when a stranger hits them. Shaken, he sells nothing for 90 s. Killed, he spends 15 min in hospital.
In custody or in hospital, you can pay to get him out early: go to a free dealing spot, press [E], pay for the minutes left and he sets up right there.
Your gang holds a turf? Your dealers posted inside defend it: as long as they're standing, nobody takes it.
Collecting gets noticed 10% of the time: passersby around pull out their phones. Shut them up before they call (see wanted stars). Every take you collect also raises your bounty.
On every sale, the chance a customer snitches is . A seasoned dealer fights back of the time, a spot boss . A Protector on your payroll (Uber Bagarre app) and . The product, though, .
Never hand him your whole stash. Whatever he's holding is what you lose the day it goes wrong.
