Store robbery

Problem:

Stores pay $500-$1,200

In City Hours Unemployment check

$75 every 1hour

$75 for 24hours is $1,800

24hours in city is 4hours real-time.

People smash and grab all stores within the first 2hours after server restart.

Solution:

After Police shut off store alarms the store is on cool-down for 2hours.

Payout increased to $4,000-$5,000 or $1,000 and USB to be worth the risk.

USB used to crack safe in the back of the store,

for a chance of $5,000 and a Red Decryption Key or $10,000 payout.

(Keep in mind this will be split a minimum of 2 ways, one person with hostage and one cracking the safe)

Decryption Key can be used for bank trucks.

We will increase the payout and add a random chance that the clerk will go hostile.

  • We will increase pay, but we do want to keep the stores focused on low level smash and grab criminal activity.
  • We will add a random timer per store to enable stores independently after a server restart so they can't all just be hit and disabled.
  • We will make the timer after the store is hit also be random so the reset can't be timed by people as easily.
  • We will add a personal cooldown timer to prevent one person from chain robbing back to back.
  • We will also remove the requirement for police to be online.

I personally don't like the idea of doing store robbery without police.

If the idea that store robbery is a "smash and grab", and most times police won't make it to the store in time anyway. Then every store should be able to be robbed, and not just the ones in the city.


As it stands now every criminal activity is easy to do and then leave. Most activity's do not give enough time for police to show up, unless you are cop baiting. 


I understand the frustration from the cops point of view.  The fact It's just drive from point to point to see the breadcrumbs of criminals. Everything moves to fast, they have no time to set-up or use any of the training. 

Example 

"Oh, yup someone just drove past me coming from where the store is located".....

30 seconds later

"Yeah, I'm at the store and see nobody. Code4"


As far as the clerk getting hostile. I think this is a cool feature. However it should be used when the clerk has already been robbed and is on "cooldown", or when no police are online he defends his store.

The police on/off can be changed but if you can rob a weapon truck when police arnt on why not be able to rob a low tier store ? Catch my drift. Also all stores will have clerks and be able to be robbed.

I don't like the fact you can hit a "weapon" truck and/or a store can be hit while PD is offline.

Open a feedback then, if it gets enough upvotes it will be addressed sooner rather than later
