The Dossier
1 min read
Part two of the handbook. One card per feature, written as the file the police keep on you, or the file the family keeps on the city. This is where the exact rules and formulas live. Every number comes straight from the game.
Part one, the basics in plain language, is in the handbook.
Arsenal, weapons and Arsenal cars
What it is
A gangster is only as good as his iron and his ride. Weapons raise your attack, Arsenal cars your defense. Only the best piece of each kind counts. Extra pieces don't stack the bonus. Some jobs ask for a specific item. Stolen cars on Cars are a different system; see the Cars card.
Where to find it
Arsenal.
How it works
Buy a weapon or an Arsenal car with street cash.
Your best piece counts right away in fights and in your success chance on jobs, up to 4% (see Crimes).
Costs, returns and limits
The price is on the card in the shop. The card and the active bonus use the same calculation and one decimal. A second copy gives no extra power: that one's for the fence or the chop shop.
