Robbery

M.O.: Abetting thefts of priceless valuables. Trafficking stolen property and cultural items. Heists with no regard for casualties.

MO: Professional career criminals who specialize in high security vaults or buildings, the more valuable the better.

MO: Smuggling drugs across boarders, seas & anything that puts green into there pockets.

MO: Crazed individuals who get off at abusing and trafficking people for sex and easy favours.

MO: These egotistical eggheads enjoy nothing more than deceiving political and social figure heads for there own personal gain.

MO: Extremists whom love to see nothing but violence, war and decay, usually crippling weak governments of third world countries to start riots and protests.

I’m sure some people can give it s better go than me!

  • The Mayor
  • The Chief
  • The Shyster
  • The Candidate
  • Golden Boy

An animal cruelty syndicate. Don’t know how that would work or what names we could use, I’m just super enraged right now after watching TikTok videos of abused and mistreated animals and want to fucking kill the people who do it, if just vicariously through the game.

I wish when you fail a syndicate mission, they can hunt your safe house down and attack it (toggle feature).

Since we have to be online to play, why not be able to invade other people’s safe houses? We can use our Merces to buy defences and place them where we want, and the goal can be something such as merces from the vault or a weapon from the wall.

Maybe be able to move the rooms in the house around to make it a challenge for the player to find the goal so it’s not the same every time?

Poaching

Hunting endangered animals for sport, profit or simple enjoyment from hunt. Animal cruelty is guaranteed. Often engaging in bloody gunfights with park rangers.

Objectives would include stuff like Shotgun/Knife/Sniper rifle kill, Perfect shooter, Proximity Explosive kill.

Illegal Gambling

M.O.: If it’s horse races or soccer matches. They will put money on it. They’ll even create their own illegal horse races. In the end, they use this wealth for expensive cars or legal gambling. They’ll even pay off any cops who find out about their illegal betting.

  • The Goldman
  • The Coin
  • The Cowboy
  • The Lucky Man

Since gambling involves money and taking risks. Most will be about coins, spending and riskful plays.

Objectives:
Spend 500 merces (gives 600 merces)
Kill somebody infront of a civilian (gives 1000 merces)
Kill infront of a guard (gives 1,500 merces)

Cyber Crimes

M.O.: They might not be threating at first. However, with just a keyboard and computer. They’re able to hack into global elites accounts and steal all of their cash. These tech nerds will create Ransomware, Malware and Phishing Operations just to cause chaos.

  • The Phisherman
  • The Leak
  • The Faker

Doesn’t this kind of fall between espionage and Psy Ops?
