La Paz Town
La Paz is your hub: the player Market, Julio's Club, Victor's Pet Shop, shops for weapons and gear, the casino, and more.
Duck into town when you need supplies, then get back to jobs, productions, or cartel work — everything runs in the same persistent world.

Criminal Jobs
Timed jobs are the core loop — start with street work like intimidation and arson, then unlock robberies, blackmail, hacking, and more as you gain experience.
Prestige a job at full skill to cut time, boost rewards, or build chains so early jobs stay useful as you grow.

Gym
Train Strength, Defence, Agility, and Accuracy to win fights and survive rival attacks.
Spend energy when you have it — gym gains stack over days and weeks, not just one long session.

Illegal Productions
Grow Reputation to recruit narcos, then put them to work in production facilities.
Make medical supplies, drugs, alcohol, and other goods to use yourself or sell on the player Market. Prestige productions to keep long-term growth interesting.

Dogs & Victor's Pet Shop
Buy a Dog House, then pick a companion from rotating stock — breeds from Chihuahua to Leonberger across Common to Legendary rarities.
Feed and train daily to raise Loyalty. Dogs fight beside you with Attack and Accuracy, plus traits like healing or metal detection. University Animal Handling deepens what they can do.

Player Cartels
Join or found a cartel of up to 80 players. Contest Territory Wars for ground and daily ownership benefits once your cartel is large enough to fight.

La Paz Market
A player-run economy: most goods come from players and list on the Item Market for others to buy.
Trade what you produce, chase ranking as a buyer or seller, or take risks mugging other narcos for cash and items.
