Events and Activities

Realistic Robberies

When a dealer is being robbed, a robber will spawn and engage them in a fight. Your actions affect the regional Cartel influence:

• Robber defeated: If the robber is killed or knocked out before the dealer dies, regional influence decreases by 80. If the robber is knocked out while escaping, regional influence decreases by 50.
• Player flees: If you run out of range, regional influence increases by 25.
• Successful escape: If the robber kills the dealer and reaches a safehouse, regional influence increases by 25.
• Timeout: If the combat is timed out dealer defends the robbery.

Intercept Deals

This is a new type of event where the Cartel actively attempts to intercept one of your deals.

• The event can only occur between 16:20 and 04:20 and when the Cartel is hostile.
• Randomized Frequency of Intercept Deals feature is tied to the Activity Frequency config value
• Only deals with less than 5 hours and more than 1 hour and 30 minutes remaining can be intercepted.
• If the player is within 40 units of the customer, the intercept is canceled.
• The Cartel Dealer can have your Stolen Items in their inventory
• Event Timeline:
  • When the event starts, the quest icon on the left side of the screen changes to the Benzies logo.
  • A timer of 30 seconds begins before the Cartel dealer starts their intercept.
• Outcomes:
  • If you complete the deal before the Cartel dealer does, regional influence decreases by 50 and your relationship with the customer increases slightly more.
  • If the Cartel dealer successfully intercepts the deal, regional influence increases by 25 and your relationship with the customer decreases slightly.

Drive-By Events

These events only happen when the Cartel is hostile.

• Only happens at Night Time from 22:30 to 04:00
• Thomas will spawn in a car and try to shoot the player.
• They are triggered when the player is near one of the 14 designated hotspots (common dealing locations, homes, and businesses).
• These events have a randomized cooldown of 1-96 in-game hours based on the driveByFrequency parameter.
• Their frequency can be adjusted with the activityFrequency parameter.

Mini-Quests

Mini-quests can be obtained from select NPCs (Anna, Fiona, Dean, Mick, Jeff, Dan, Jeremy, Marco or Herbert).

• The quest-giving NPCs are chosen randomly every 4 ingame hours. Random Choice prefers Unlocked NPCs more.
• Refusal Rate: The chance an NPC will refuse to give you a quest is now based on your relationship with them. It ranges from a base 40% chance (at worst relations) to a base 75% chance (at best relations).
• Time Window: When asking the NPC for rumours during 12:00 to 18:00, the NPC has higher likelihood of giving the Intercept Cartel Dead Drop quest.
• Payment: The cost to get a tip is dynamic, ranging from $100 (at best relations) to $500 (at worst relations).
• Cartel Gathering Effect: When asking for rumours during time which cartel is gathering, there is higher likelihood of the NPC Revealing the active Gathering Location instead of revealing a Dead Drop location.

Intercept Cartel Dead Drop

• Dead Drop Location: Based on the NPC relations there is 75% chance (at best relations) to tell exact location of the dead drop, and 25% chance to tell only the region. At worst relations there is 25% chance to tell the exact location and 75% chance to tell only the region.
• You have a 60 seconds to find the dead drop if the exact location is revealed and 120 seconds if you only know the region.
• Success: If you find the dead drop in time, you get +100 XP and the regional influence decreases by 50.
• Failure: If you fail to find it, the items vanish and regional influence increases by 25.
• Loot Pools: One of the following two pools is selected for each quest:
  • Common (80% chance): 3-10 items chosen from: Cocaine, Meth, Green Crack Seed, OG Kush Seed.
  • Rare (20% chance): 1 item chosen from: Sewer Key, Silver Watch, Gold Watch, Silver Chain, Gold Chain, Old Man Jimmy's, Brut du Gloop.
  • Stolen Items: Mini-quest rewards now also include some of the items stolen by the Cartel. This is additional to the Loot Pool selected drop.

Cartel Gatherings

Cartel Gatherings are a regional task that appear frequently and even during the early game, before the cartel becomes hostile. Their locations are picked from all unlocked regions, with new locations unlocking as you progress through the game.

You can reveal these gathering locations by bribing certain mini quest NPCs.

Gatherings include a "loot goblin" goon carrying stolen items and money if the cartel has stolen from your dealers.

Goons have varied behaviors, including random animations and voice lines, and they occasionally rotate.

If player gets nearby they will get annoyed and eventually turn hostile. If you have killed enough Cartel Dealers, the Gatherings will be hostile on sight at a range depending on the Cartel Dealer Activity value.

• Gathering lasts for 3 hours after which the goons go away
• Killing a gathering will decrease regional cartel influence by 80.
• If a gathering is not defeated, regional influence will increase by 25 (up to a maximum of 400).
• If the player has a Truce with the cartel then greeting all the gathering goons lowers influence by 150 and the Gathering will not be hostile or annoyed

Business Sabotage

Player owned businesses can now be sabotaged by Cartel. For these events you will get a notification indicating which business is being sabotaged. After the notification, a goon will spawn and go plant a bomb at your business. Defuse the bomb or your current laundering operation will fail!

• A planted bomb will explode automatically after 2 in-game hours
• If the planted bomb explodes, regional cartel influence increases by 200 and the current business laundering operations fail.
• If the player defuses the bomb, regional cartel influence decreases by 150.
• If the player kills the goon that is trying to plant a bomb, regional cartel influence decreases by 50.

The frequency of Business Sabotage events is linked directly to the total cartel influence across all regions. When the cartel total influence is lower, these events become more frequent!

Steal Back Customers

Unlocked customers can now be stolen back by the Cartel forcing you to re-unlock your customers by giving them free samples. This event scales in difficulty and frequency depending on how low the Cartels influence is across all regions. The lower their influence is, the harder they fight back!

• The feature can be disabled in the CartelEnforcer/config.json by setting stealBackCustomer to false
• Player must have atleast 18 customers in total unlocked for this feature to kick in
• The maximum amount of customers Cartel can steal each day is 2
• Customer stealing prefers recently unlocked customers more
• Customer must have all of its connections unlocked to be valid for stealing
• Customers that have been stolen are harder to re-unlock with free samples, with successive samples increasing probability of unlock.

Allied Extensions

Allied Extensions consists of multiple features that are added to the game while the Cartel is Truced. These features aim to provide new means of reducing influence even while Cartel is Truced in order to progress and complete the game. Additionally the Allied Extensions allow the player to Persude the Cartel Dealers to work for them!

Allied Extensions features and cooldowns can be modified from the CartelEnforcer/Allied/config.json file

The Allied Extensions saves persistent data and progression to the CartelEnforcer/Allied/QuestData folder for each save

Persuade Cartel Dealers

After choosing to Truce with the Cartel, each Cartel Dealer gets new Persuade Dialogue Options! Each of the choices offer different probability of success to persuade the Cartel Dealer. Once successfully persuaded, the player can hire the Cartel Dealer to work for them! Each persuasion attempt lowers the regions Cartel Influence!

• Cooldown time can be changed from the CartelEnforcer/Allied/config.json file at PersuadeCooldownMins

Choice 1: Clothing Similarity

• Change your clothes to match the Cartel Dealers clothes to increase the probability of a succesful persuasion

Choice 2: Overall Cartel Influence

Choice 3: Threatening

Choice 4: Spread Rumours

Greet the Gathering Goons

While a Cartel Goon Gathering is active, greeting all 3 goons in a short timeframe will award the player with influence reduction in the respective region.

• The influence reduction can be changed from CartelEnforcer/Influence/influence.json by changing the trucedGreetingChallenge value

3. If the game receives a new update, delete default.json to ensure your configuration is up to date. It will be recreated the next time you load a save.

Modifying Ambush Settings

1. Open Mods/CartelEnforcer/Ambush/settings.json.

2. You can modify the weapons used for ambush events, change the minimum rank required for ranged weapon usage in ambushes and also disable the ambushes that happen rarely after deals get completed by player.

        "Avatar/Equippables/Revolver",
        "Avatar/Equippables/M1911",
        "Avatar/Equippables/PumpShotgun"

Debug Mode

In debug mode, you can see various visual cues and use keybinds to test features.

The Debug Mode does not log anything into console in version 1.4.0 and above for performance reasons. For Console Logs you need to build the dll file from source code using DEBUG configuration. See GitHub BUILD.md for more info.

• Cubes: Visualize ambush positions. Their size corresponds to the detection radius and their color is based on the region. Standing under a cube will eventually trigger an ambush.
• Cyan Beams: Visualize the four spawn points for each cube.
• Orange Spheres: Show the locations of drive-by events triggers. Standing under the Sphere will eventually trigger a Drive-By.

In Multiplayer

For multiplayer to function correctly, all players must have the same default.json, ambush.json and config.json content.

Most of the events and activities added by this mod do not support multiplayer yet.

Note: The configuration files and directory structure described in this document will be created automatically in the Mods/CartelEnforcer/ directory if they are missing.
