Gangster Nation has various properties with security contracts. Each property can have one gangster providing security at any one time. Security contracts are taken over by the existing contract holder being killed, or the strength being weakened.
Properties
The following properties have security contracts.
Airport
The contract holder can claim 75% of sales made through the Airport at any time. Additionally, the contract holder and anyone in the same family as the contract holder can travel for half price from the protected Airport.
Bullet Store
The contract holder can collect 30% of sales made through the store at any time. Additionally, the contract holder and anyone in the same family as the contract holder receives a 25% discount on bullets purchased from the protected Bullet Store.
Blackjack
The contract holder can collect 10% of the profit made through the Blackjack table on the previous game day. This means if the contract holder forgets to make a collection one day, they will lose out on those funds. Additionally, Blackjack tables aren't always profitable which means the collection can be $0 on some days.
Trade Center
The contract holder can collect 75% of all taxes charged on money transfers (both trades and gifts) sent from the Trade Center in that city at any time.
Strength
Each property has a "strength" figure. This lowers over time (1 point every second) or when a property is attacked.
Once a property's strength reaches 0, the property enters the "take over" phase, during which the security contract can be taken over by another gangster.
The initial strength amount is:
- 1,000,000 when a normal gangster holds the contract.
- A random amount between 100,000 and 400,000 when Butchie holds the contract at the beginning of a round.
- 100,000 when Butchie holds the contract during the round (e.g. when someone has cancelled their contract or died).
- 50,000 when Butchie holds the contract during Deathmatch.
Attacking
You can attack a property to reduce its strength.
Currently, the only way to do this is using Petrol Bombs, which are found in your Inventory (acquired from the Black Market).
Each petrol bomb only reduces a property's security strength by a very small amount (250 points), so it's best to work as a team (e.g. with your family) to have a meaningful impact.
You must wait 15 seconds between attacks.
You can't use a petrol bomb while the current protector is dead (in this case a new protector will be assigned shortly afterwards).
Taking over security contracts
There are two ways to take over the security contract of a property, these are detailed below.
By killing
If security is currently provided by another gangster (not Butchie), you can take over the property by killing that gangster but you cannot use a silencer.
When the security strength falls
When a property's strength reaches 0, the property is destroyed and enters the take over phase which lasts a random amount of time between 10 and 40 minutes. During this phase, you can check whether the property can be taken over once every 15 seconds. When the property can be taken over, the Check button is enabled.
Taking over a property this way requires a combination of luck (due to the 15 second timer) and commitment to checking during the take over phase.
You can't take over a property's security contract while in protection. You also can't take over one of your own security contracts.
