Roles
People are a progression system
Crew should not just be a number. Each hire changes what you can see, move, protect, earn, or cool down.
Brokers
Improve deal reads, buyer quality, route verification, and larger market opportunities.
Muscle
Adds fight power, intimidation, territory protection, and safer city pressure.
Lawyers
Help cool wanted pressure, paperwork, fines, and future legal problems.
Managers
Turn owned assets into stronger background income and cleaner operations.
Lookouts
Reduce surprise trouble, travel exposure, and bad outcomes in hot cities.
Background
Offline-style progress without free wins
The goal is steady pressure, not idle-game runaway. Crew and assets can generate pending money, energy, intel, and heat relief, but caps and city limits keep the grind meaningful.
Collect
Runners and businesses build pending cash that can be collected from the right board.
Recover
Housing, drinks, local recovery, and energy assets help you keep playing without making energy meaningless.
Read
Brokers, charisma, local trust, and city visits unlock deeper, bigger, and cleaner route intel.
Defend
Muscle, gear, armor, and city control prepare the combat layer and protect territory value.
