The numbers
Nerve is per Case and per Break In. Per confidence is the success each confidence point adds. Per Case is the confidence one Case adds. Lockout follows a failure. Success is capped at 95% and never below 5%.
| Easy | Medium | Hard | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nerve | 2 | 3 | 4 |
| Base success | 30–50% | 30–45% | 20–40% |
| Per confidence | +0.5% | +0.3% | +0.15% |
| Per Case | 10–20 | 7–15 | 5–10 |
| Cash |
50–350 | $250–750 | $500–1,500 |
| Item per Case | 8–12% | 10–14% | 15–17% |
| Lockout | 3 min | 5 min | 10 min |
| Share | 50% | 35% | 15% |
What does casing do?
Casing is the main difference from other crimes. Each Case costs the same nerve as the Break In.
- Each Case adds confidence. It is not capped by the number of Cases, only by the maximum of 100.
- Success chance goes up with every confidence point. At 100 confidence an easy job adds 50%, a medium job 30% and a hard job 15%.
- Each Case rolls for an item at the job's item chance. Items go into the job's loot and are yours on success only.
- On success you get 3 XP for every nerve spent on Cases for that job.
- Break In does not roll for items on its own. All items come from Cases.
What happens if I fail?
- You get 25% of the base XP. No cash or items.
- The job drops to 0 confidence, and all of its loot is removed.
- The job is locked for 3 minutes (easy), 5 (medium) or 10 (hard). Other jobs are not affected.
- You can drop a locked job and use Find Job instead. This costs 5 nerve.
When can I be jailed?
Jail chance comes from your wanted level and from the job's confidence.
- You can only be jailed on a failure.
- With no wanted stars, you can't be jailed at all.
- Each Break In raises your wanted level, success or failure. Casing does not.
- Low confidence raises the jail chance. At the highest wanted level, a failed job at 0 confidence is 84% (easy), 72% (medium) or 65% (hard).
- At 100 confidence those fall to 24%, 36% and 48%.
- Wanted level drops over time and resets when you are jailed.
- Speed (gym stat) reduces jail time.
How do I get better at it?
- Skill. Each Break In gives skill XP. Each skill level adds +1% to cash and XP, and +0.1% success chance. Max skill level 100.
- Confidence. Case a job until the bar is full to get the best success chance and the lowest jail chance.
- Lockpick Set. Use it from Boost for +25% confidence on your next 3 Cases. You need at least one job lined up first. Only one can be active.
- Gear and drugs. Crime success bonuses add to your success chance. Item find gear and the Legacy drop bonus add to your item chance.
Tips
- Hard jobs gain only 0.15% success per confidence point, so full confidence helps less than on easy jobs.
- Items only drop if your inventory has space, both when you Case and when the loot is paid out.
- Cases give no XP on their own. The 3 XP per nerve is paid on success only.
- You cannot Case a job at 100 confidence. Break in or drop it.
