Bad Times is built for memorable scenes, meaningful choices and shared stories. Every system on the server exists to make the city feel real — from the way you roll a blunt to the way the NYPD builds a case against you.

What makes it different
- One city, one story. Custom map, real neighbourhoods, no Los Santos.
- Consequences. Injuries bleed, evidence sticks, overdoses kill, stress shows.
- Depth over menus. You harvest, cook, roll, pour, cut, snort, inject — with real animations, not a progress bar.
- A police force with tools. MDT, forensics lab, body cams, drones, K9, tracker darts.
