What NPCs Are Used For
NPCs drive the core gameplay loop by facilitating transactions, providing resources, and creating opportunities for expansion. Each character type serves a specific function in building your criminal network.
- Generate revenue through direct product sales to customers
- Acquire inventory and supplies needed for operations
- Establish distribution networks across different territories
- Access specialized services and upgrades for your business
- Unlock new areas and progression opportunities
NPCs Types
The map categorizes characters into three distinct groups based on their role in your operation, each offering different interactions and benefits.
Customers
These NPCs represent your primary income source, purchasing products directly from your inventory. They appear in various locations throughout the city and often have specific preferences for certain substances. Building relationships with regular customers can lead to larger orders and repeat business.
Suppliers
Suppliers provide the raw materials and finished products you need to maintain inventory levels. They typically operate from fixed locations like warehouses or back-alley meetups. Establishing reliable supplier connections ensures consistent stock flow and better pricing on bulk purchases.
Dealers
These NPCs act as intermediaries who can help expand your network into new territories. Dealers often control specific neighborhoods and can provide access to exclusive customer bases or premium products. Working with established dealers accelerates your territorial expansion.
How to Use the Map Efficiently
Planning your routes around NPC locations maximizes earnings while reducing travel time and exposure to law enforcement.
- Start with suppliers early in your session to ensure adequate inventory
- Group customers by geographic clusters to minimize travel distance
- Visit dealers during off-peak hours when competition is lower
- Use safe houses as waypoints between high-traffic NPC areas
- Monitor NPC schedules as some characters only appear at specific times
- Keep backup routes planned in case primary locations become compromised
