Crimes have been rebuilt from the ground up. There are now six categories of crime, each with its own crimes to commit:
- Street Hustles (level 1): quick cash from tourists on the Strip.
- Club Scams (level 5): work the bars, doors and VIP rooms.
- Theft (level 10): take what isn't nailed down.
- Fraud & Forgery (level 15): paper crimes with bigger payouts.
- Blackmail (level 25): everyone in this town has a secret.
- Heists (level 40): one big score, one long sentence.
Every crime shows what it costs in Skill, its chance of success, the cash it pays, the XP you earn and what happens if you are caught: jail or hospital. Press Commit and the result appears right in the row, with Commit again ready to go. Now and then a success turns into a Big score: double the cash and an item to keep.
Each category has its own Mastery. Every success raises it, and the harder crimes in a category open as your mastery grows. The Crimes page also shows your crimes today, success rate, money earned today, your lifetime record and your most recent crimes.
The old crimes (Search for Cash and the rest) have been retired. Successful crimes still raise your maximum Skill.
