Gang War: Difference between revisions

Newly promoted lieutenants are able to get one free recruitment pen from their gangtool. This is a good reason to promote your lieutenants early, to expand your membership faster.

===Gang Management===

As a part of the gang's inner circle, it is your responsibility to keep the gang going. Spray cans are cheap, and distributing them to your gangsters will allow your influence to grow faster. Even when you have a Dominator active '''(which requires a [[Nuclear Authentication Disk|nuclear authentication disk]])''', having more territories will make the timer count down faster.

Avoid traveling alone. Your best avenue for protection is your own gang members. If you are always surrounded by your allies, nobody can take you by surprise. It may be a good idea to make sure you always have at least one bodyguard by your side. If your gang is well armed and you communicate well with them, you could virtually be untouchable.

===Rise to Power===

Early in the shift, resist going around spraying territories with your spray can. Spraying tags leaves [[Detective|fingerprints]] and raises security suspicions against you. You are far better off passing your spray cans to recruited gangsters, and you can focus on recruitment, equipment, and not getting caught.

Do not allow the station to evacuate. If the [[Emergency Shuttle|emergency shuttle]] is allowed to dock at the station, you only have a few minutes before you lose the round. If you use your gangtool to recall the shuttle, keep in mind that station security ('''or even your rivals!''') may use your recall signal to pinpoint your location. Never stay in the same spot you recalled the shuttle from unless you are willing to fight them. Active dominators will also prevent the emergency shuttle from leaving the station. If you've missed the window to recall the shuttle, spawning a dominator may be your only recourse from defeat.

===Securing Dominance===

After most of the crew has been recruited by one gang or the other and security is knee deep in panic, you can start making efforts to win the game. I recommend that you establish a stronghold to act as a home base for your gang. A place where your gangsters can return to, feel safe, and can restock on weapons and supplies. Don't stop handing out equipment with your gangtool. By this point most members in your gang should be armed and dangerous.

One tactic is to repeatedly call the shuttle and when it gets recalled, dispatch security to the location it was recalled from. You can quickly locate and capture a gang leader this way. Or at least, bust their stronghold before they become too entrenched.

===Rehabilitation===

Like revolution, loyalty implants can be used to deconvert gangsters. Unlike revolution, however, the implant is destroyed after a successful deconversion, so you will need to use two of them to prevent them from getting recruited again.

Gang leaders can never be deconverted, and will resist loyalty implants.

===Reclaiming the Station===

The gangs will be fighting over turf. They'll be marking their territories with spray painted tags. Generally, the more territory a gang controls, the stronger they will be. One effective way of curbing the growing power of gangs is to keep the station clean and tidy. Gang tags can be removed with the janitor's mop, soap, or simply by taking down the wall/floor tile.  

If a gang is attempting to hack the station, your job and, likely, your life are on the line! Work with security to destroy the gang's Dominator device before time runs out. It can be damaged by pretty much anything a cyborg can be hurt by.

=Gang Equipment=

Items gang leaders can purchase from their gangtools.

  |description = The dominator will secure your gang's dominance over the station. Once you've secured the nuclear authentication disk which is required, turn it on when you are ready to defend it.

== Tips ==

* Tags don't have to be out in the open. Tags can be hidden under tables or certain items! The gang with the most creativity is the gang with the most gear.

* It is a good idea to convert the janitor since he can be a very advantageous key in making sure other gang members' tags don't last for a long time while ignoring your team tags.

* Station dominator fights are very hectic. Make sure not to blow up your entire squad with a horrible placed grenade.

* The Switch blade is a very robust melee weapon and has enough sharpness to behead your opposing competition. Paired with a sharpener is the icing on the cake.  

* As a gang leader, you should never be actively seen doing gang related stuff. Delegate to your underlings, for you are just a medical doctor at the front desk, innocent and pure, pulling the strings of pure chaos.
