⚠ IMPORTANT! ⚠ Vehicle Mod FAQs: https://www.gangsternation.net/guide/mod-faqs – please read this and send us your initial feedback on mods. It's always worth submitting feedback even if you think others have made the same suggestion as this improves our ability to measure demand.

5th November 2024

Notice

⚠ IMPORTANT! ⚠ The "Tuned to the Max" mission will continue to require a TUNED vehicle for now. The mission will be updated to require mods in due course (we're just allowing some time for everyone to adjust to using mods for heist vehicles first) but don't worry, the same payout will be available. Vehicle Mods are only relevant to heists during this initial period.

4th November 2024

Feature

Added Vehicle Mods which are designed to be a less frustrating and more flexible replacement to vehicle tuning. Vehicle Mods can be acquired via Looting or by scapping vehicles for Mod Coins which are exchangeable for mods in the Black Market. During this early period, tuning will continue to be available, although a vehicle can't be tuned AND have mods. As the feature is new, mods are likely to be tweaked during this early period. If you prefer, please continue using tuning for the time being. Full details can be found on the 'Your Garage' page of the game guide.

2nd November 2024

Change

Property: Each of the first 9 segments of the strength bar (orange and green) now represent a more equal period of the overall contact duration. The red bar now always lasts for a random period between 15 and 60 minutes. We hope these changes will make the property strength bar easier to understand.

1st November 2024

Improvement

Trade Center: When sending a gift, if the recipient doesn't automatically accept free gifts, a confirmation prompt is shown before proceeding to open a trade.

1st November 2024

Improvement

Settings: The "Automatically accept gifts" setting now applies to money gifts. Previously, money gifts were excluded from this setting to allow functions like Extortion returns and Mentoring payments to work, however these payments are now sent separately to general trade.

31st October 2024

The replacement anti-abuse measure is that your gangster has to be a certain age before buying these perks IF you've created multiple gangsters during the week before creating your current one. Most people playing normally will be unaffected by this updated restriction. Perks bought before this update are now insurable.

27th October 2024

Improvement

The Halloween event has been reimagined and will now haunt you for two full weeks instead of just a few days. Starts today with the new round 👻

18th October 2024

Change

Shooting: When you make a successful backfire kill, your backfire is now limited to 10 x the amount of bullets shot at you. For example, if someone shoots 50,000 bullets at you and your backfire is 1,000,000 bullets, your loss will be limited to 500,000 bullets. This update was somewhat controversial in global chat last round, however it did receive strong support with 72% in favour when polled. We can try the change this round and if a strong majority find it doesn't work well, the change can always be reverted in future rounds. The purpose is not to end backfire wasting as a concept (which we know is generally popular), but to make it just a little bit more difficult and therefore slightly more fair. Last round, backfire loss would have been reduced in 33 cases due to this change, but equally the shooter in each case could stock a small amount more (relative to their target's backfire) to cause the same loss of backfire. Finally, some sceptics have suggested this change is designed to benefit players who buy credits. This is untrue, it's a change designed to make the game more enjoyable for everybody, but our counterargument would be that those who buy credits can restock bullets more easily and are less in need of this form of backfire protection, whereas "free to play" players will more strongly benefit from the added relief when being backfire wasted.

18th October 2024

Change

Trade Limits: The bullet receive Trade Limit has been reduced from 150,000 to 100,000. We continue to see behaviour from all camps which is likely to be Real World Trading (but unproveable), therefore we'll continue making this more difficult until we're satisfied the behaviour has stopped or has a very minimal impact on the game.

18th October 2024

Change

Trade Limits: The vehicle and perk Trade Limit has been reduced from 100 to 50.

18th October 2024

Change

Bullet Store: Increased hourly restock amounts by 10%.
