Take the city.

Welcome to the block

Late nights, long blocks and the crews who keep them moving.

A real hood game, top down

GTA-style freedom with a street economy at the center. Every corner, car and block counts.

Turf wars

Drop three opps on their own block and a war starts. Survive the waves and the block flips to your set, graffiti and all. Then they come back for it.

Hood economics

Set up corners, trap houses, stash spots and a car wash front. Re-ups cook, your corner hustlers move pack, rent comes in from every block you hold.

Whips and chases

Jack any car on the street, drift the corners, hang out the window with a Draco. Hit a bystander and 12 rolls in, cuffs out.

Roll with your homies

Recruit homies in your colors or call a car full of them to pull up and hold it down. They call out opps, cover your back and get stronger as you do.

20+ straps

Glocks, a switch, Mac-11s, pump and drum shotties, AKs, an M4 with burst fire, a scoped .50 cal, launchers, Molotovs and grenades.

Fortify the hood

Barricades, chain-link, spike strips for opp cars and block cameras that call out who's creeping. Your block, your rules.

Bloods or Crips?

Pick a side when you start. Your set holds the blocks around your crib. The other side wants every one of them.

Bloods

Red flags on the west side of the map. "What's poppin'?" Your homies post up in red and move with you on sight.

Crips

Blue rags across the east blocks. "What's crackin', cuz?" Loc'd out crews that hold the line and slide back hard.

Pick your path

Every level is a skill point. Spend them down three trees and slot the abilities on your hotbar.

Shotcaller

Run a crew. More homies, harder homies, roll-ups on call, Rally and Mark Target. The block answers to you.

Sicario

Steady hands, thick skin, quick draw, Dash and Focus. You are the problem.

Heisenberg

Better product, faster cooks, cleaner money. Homemade smoke, Cook-off, and Molotovs that hit different.
