Building Your Empire
You begin with minimal resources—often a cheap motel or apartment—and can gradually acquire warehouses, nightclubs and other illegal operations. Each new property expands your influence and unlocks deeper management options.
Progression is tied to skills and abilities, letting you improve how efficiently you run businesses and handle criminal jobs. The system connects crimes, businesses, territories and the economy into one seamless simulation.
- Focus early expansion on low‑cost locations to generate steady income before tackling larger enterprises.
- Balance recruitment with business upgrades to avoid over‑extending resources.

Criminal Activities
The game offers a range of illegal actions: car theft, pickpocketing, robberies, street races and shootouts. You can also complete assorted criminal jobs that reward cash and reputation.
Police and NPCs react dynamically, so evading law enforcement after a heist is essential. Successful crimes feed money into your growing empire and unlock further opportunities.
- Use fast vehicles for quick get‑aways after high‑profile thefts.
- Plan routes that minimize police presence to reduce chase time.

Business Management
Illegal enterprises such as warehouses, nightclubs and production chains can be built and automated. Management includes hiring staff, setting up supply lines and upgrading facilities for higher profit.
Automation and efficient production are key to scaling income, allowing you to fund larger operations and recruit more gangsters. Business success directly impacts your territorial control.
- Invest in automation early to free up time for expansion.
- Monitor profit margins and adjust supply chains when revenue drops.

Recruitment and Gangs
Hiring gangsters lets you assign them to specific criminal jobs, protect territories and eliminate rival families. Each recruit brings unique strengths that can be leveraged for different tasks.
A strong crime family is essential for holding districts and defending against rival incursions. Managing loyalty and assigning appropriate roles keeps your organization effective.
- Diversify your crew’s skill set to cover both combat and logistical needs.
- Regularly assess gangsters’ performance and replace underperformers.
05 / THE GUIDE
Territory Control
The city is divided into 11 unique districts, each offering strategic value. Controlling a district grants prestige and access to local resources, while rival families vie for the same areas.
Territory battles involve both combat and economic pressure. Maintaining dominance requires a mix of force, business influence and timely retaliation against challengers.
- Secure a district’s income sources before launching attacks on neighboring areas.
- Use a combination of gangsters and business assets to defend key locations.
