At level 1, the player receives slightly greater rewards from missions, and enemy players will be dispatched against them if they witness them performing certain actions. At level 0, a player is free to do as they please, and will not have enemy players dispatched against them. The level decreases as the player hinders their faction for instance, team-killing, dying, and destroying city objects as Enforcers. Such unique faction actions include mugging pedestrians for Criminals, or arresting Criminals for Enforcers. This level goes up as the player successfully performs actions that help their faction's cause, such as killing players of the opposing faction, completing missions successfully, or by engaging in activities unique to their faction. This prevents death matching and griefing.ĭepending on faction, players will have either a Prestige or Notoriety level, going from 0 to 5. Players cannot normally attack each other unless they are enemies or allies in a mission.

Ammunition can be bought from Joker Ammo vending machines, scattered around the 3 districts. Contacts sell upgrades, equipment, weapons, vehicles and clothing. The player must achieve different goals to unlock the purchase of weapons, varying from completing a certain number of missions successfully, to achieving a high enough standing with a contact or organization. Weapons cannot be bought straight away from NPC contacts. The player can also zoom in using right-click for better aim. The camera focuses on the character from above the shoulder in which the currently equipped gun is held, allowing the player to peek around corners before they lean around to shoot. For example, several Criminal players may rob a convenience store within the game the game will then seek out one or more Enforcer players of equivalent skills and other criteria and will issue an all-points bulletin for them to stop the robbery and apprehend or eliminate the Criminals. Other activities involving missions within the game allowing the player to earn extra money, which can then be used to upgrade weapons, vehicles, and their character appearances, all of which influence the game. The game takes place in a modern-day, fictional city of San Paro where there is a constant battle between Enforcers and Criminals, and the player will need to decide to which faction they want to belong.
