Night City Boosting

Steal cars to order. A boosting tablet gets you car theft contracts, from cheap D class runabouts up to S class supercars. Deliver the car to a buyer for marked money and boosting rep, or (S class, high rep) scratch the VIN and keep it.

Getting a tablet

  • Buy one from the boosting contact (ask around: they hang out near the La Mesa body shop) for $2,500 cash, or from the black market.
  • Use the tablet from your inventory to open it.

The queue

  • On the Contracts tab, switch the queue on. While it is on and the tablet is on you, contracts come in now and then (up to 4 at a time).
  • Each contract shows the car class, the car, the buy-in, the payout and the rep it gives. Offers expire after about 90 minutes.
  • What classes you get depends on your rep level (1-10): D from level 1, C from 2, B from 4, A from 6, S from 8.
  • Buy-ins are paid in Nightcoin (your crypto wallet). If the coin is down, they are paid in cash instead.

Doing a boost

  1. Press Start. The car is parked somewhere inside the circle on your map, locked. Better cars have guards standing around them.
  2. Get in: use a lockpick, a Signal Relay (A/S), smash a window, or walk up to it and press [E] Bypass the lock to hack it with the tablet.
  3. GPS tracker (B, A and S class): the moment you drive off, police see the car on their map. Hack the tracker while the car is moving: type /boosthack (or the tablet's Hack button). B needs 1 hack, A and S need 3, with a reboot wait between them. A passenger can do the hacking while you drive. A Tracker Disabler in your pocket gives you more time on each hack.
  4. Drive to the drop-off on your map and press [E] Hand the car over while sitting in it. You get marked money (a damaged car pays less) and rep.

You have a time limit (30-45 minutes). If the car is wrecked, lost, or the time runs out, the contract fails and you lose some rep. Abandoning also costs rep.

VIN scratch (S class only)

At rep level 8+, an S class car can be taken to the VIN scratch garage instead of the buyer. Kill the tracker, drive in, and press [E] VIN scratch it. It costs 6 Nightcoin, and the car goes into your garage with a new plate. You get half the rep and no cash. Police can still find out: an officer checking the VIN stamp may spot the grinding.

Market

Don't want a contract? Put a price on it and Sell it. Other boosters see it on the Market tab and can buy it with Nightcoin. Sellers stay anonymous.

Police

  • Taking a car may send a vehicle theft call (higher classes are more likely to). Nights are quieter.
  • A live tracker shows the car's position to on-duty police until it is hacked off.
  • Officers can [E] Inspect the VIN stamp on any car to look for scratched VINs.

Staff

  • /boostgive [id] [D|C|B|A|S]: send a contract to a player's tablet.
  • /boostrep [id] [amount]: add (or with a minus, take) boosting rep.
  • /boostplace contact / vin: move the contact or the VIN garage to where you stand.
  • /boostplace spot [low|mid|high] [area name]: add a parking spot (stand or sit in a car where it should park). low = D/C, mid = B, high = A/S.
  • /boostplace drop [area name]: add a drop-off. /boostplace remove: remove the nearest spot or drop-off. /boostplace reload.
