Robbery & Heists
From liquor stores to bank vaults. The core loop.
Intel Status
CONFIRMED
Trailer 1 literally opens with a diner stick-up.
This is the bread and butter of Grand Theft Auto. But in Leonida , you can't just walk in, shoot the clerk, and leave. Robberies are now complex, high-pressure events where crowd control is just as important as the getaway.
New Mechanics
Crowd Control
Intimidation
You need to manage the NPCs. Aim your weapon to keep them down, threaten them to stop them from reaching for phones, or zip-tie them for silence. If one slips away, the cops are on the way. 🚔
Looting
Grab & Bag
Cash isn't just a number. You physically grab stacks from the register or fill Duffel Bags. Movement speed drops the heavier your bag gets.
Types of Scores
It's not just 24/7 stores anymore. The criminal economy has layers.
- Small Time: Diners, liquor stores, and gas stations. Quick cash, low risk, but don't stay too long.
- Burglary: Leaks show lockpicking tools (`Slim Jim`). This suggests you can break into cars and potentially residential homes to steal valuables for the Fence.
- Cargo Theft: Shipping containers at the Port or seizing trucks on the highway. High value, but requires heavy lifting.
Strategy
The Witness System
Be careful. Under the new Wanted System
, witnesses can describe your car or appearance. Swap cars or change clothes immediately after a score to cool the heat.
