Crime on Bad Times is a supply chain, not a menu. Almost everything starts with the burner tablet.
The burner tablet
Get a Burner Tablet item (or type /illegalmenu). It opens:
- Jobs — 18 illegal jobs: car theft, chop shop, bag snatching, counterfeit money, fraud, money laundering, gun smuggling, illegal deliveries, moonshine, container heists, plane drug runs, NPC boxing, and weed / coke / meth jobs. Each has a level requirement; you gain XP as you work.
- Market — buy the chemicals and gear you need to cook (see Drugs) and the tools each job needs (crowbar, lockpick, digiscanner, ATM hack device…). Drone-delivered, paid in cash or card.
- Profile — your illegal nickname, level and stats.
Police and EMS can’t open the tablet. If you’re on duty, you’re out.
The Plug
Separate from the tablet. The Plug is a paid connection for people who aren’t in a faction — a way to buy product, guns and ammo wholesale. See The Plug.
Dirty money
Every illegal job pays in dirty money. Clean it through money orders or laundering jobs — see Money.
Getting caught
Most illegal activity has a chance of alerting the NYPD. Cooking with the wrong quantities sets your lab on fire. Overdosing kills. Read the Rules on illegal activities before you start.
