When can I be jailed?

Jail chance comes from your wanted level, not the car's difficulty.

  • You can only be jailed on a failure.
  • With no wanted stars, you can't be jailed at all.
  • Every attempt raises your wanted level, success or failure. The higher it is, the higher the jail chance on a failure, up to 12%.
  • 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. Every attempt gives skill XP. Each skill level adds +1% bonus to cash and XP, and +0.1% success chance. Max skill level 100.
  • Crowbar. Use it from Boost for +15% success chance on your next 3 attempts. Unused attempts carry over to a new street. Only one boost 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
  • Failures still give 25% of the XP.
  • Items need free inventory space. With a full inventory, no items drop.
  • Searching a new street replaces any cars you haven't attempted. Attempt them first.
