Prison Busting

Gangster Nation Guide

Gangster Nation has a prison and if your heat builds up you will find yourself in it! If you are in prison, other gangsters can bust you out or you can bribe the guards to let you out early.

Heat

Your heat is presented as an orange bar in the stats bar. The higher your heat is the more likely you are to end up in prison after attempting a crime. Your heat will increase as you attempt crimes. As you progress through the levels your heat will increase at a faster rate after every crime. If you get thrown into prison your heat will reset back to 0%.

Busting

When you aren’t in prison yourself, you can bust out gangsters who are in prison. You gain level points for busting and you can do so every 25 seconds so it’s a very good way to earn level points and rank up fast quickly.

Busting chance

You can bust other gangsters out of prison when you aren’t in prison. The chance you have of successfully busting out another gangster is shown as a green bar under their name in the prison. The maximum chance you can have for busting is 90%.

Level points

If you successfully bust another gangster out the level points you receive depends on their level and your bust streak. You get more level points for higher level busts. You will also get a bonus point depending on your bust streak - 1 bonus point for every 5 busts in your streak.

Wait timer

The time you must wait in-between busting is 25 seconds. However, you can buy the Busting Steroids perk from the Credit Store to reduce you busting wait timer by 5 seconds for 50 attempts. The perk costs 5 credits.

Bribes

When you are in prison the only way to come out before the timer ends is by using prison bribes or being busted out by another gangster. You can get bribes by:
