Crimes & Heat
Standard crimes, success rates, loot, cooldowns, and police heat.

The Crimes page offers repeatable actions from pickpocketing through high-stakes scams.
How crimes work
-
Each crime has difficulty, payout range, and a shared global cooldown between attempts.
-
Success chance improves with experience on that crime (up to a cap). Time away from a crime rusts that trained chance back toward its starting rate.
-
Rewards include cash, XP, item loot, and sometimes drugs.
-
Higher-severity crimes unlock after enough successes on lower tiers.
Heat
Crimes increase police heat. High heat raises arrest risk on future actions.
-
Reduce heat via the Legal Office bribe system or by laying low.
-
Adrenaline Shots can bypass crime cooldowns (Credit Shop).
