Looty Bay is the heist city, but your base lives outside it on the global map. This post introduced that layer: districts, the settlements inside them, the taxes that flow between players, and special structures.
What was announced
- Districts around the city, each split into settlements and plots.
- Taxes paid by residents to settlement owners.
- Special structures that give a bonus to nearby settlements.
- A hub in every district.
- A central district.
How it looks at launch
There are 10 districts. Each has a level from 1 to 3 and a Sales Center as its hub. Highlands is the central district and the only level 3 one.
| Level | Districts | Sales Center bonus |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Rustvale, Fairfield, Dustbow, Redstone, Lonford, Cascadas | +10% |
| 2 | Fallrock, Rivertown, El Peso | +20% |
| 3 | Highlands (central) | +30% |
- Only tenants of a district can sell at its Sales Center, so you need a plot there first (Land Plot Title).
- Settlements have no police. The desert between them has no law at all, and dying there costs all your loot.
- Seven kinds of special building shipped, from the Laboratory (cooking 20% faster) to the single Black Market in Highlands.
- Settlement owners hold a Settlement Title and collect tax at the collectors' van in the settlement centre.
