Rackets
Each Racket has unique bonuses. A gang receives the benefits of a Racket so long as it holds it. Benefits of Rackets are gained after each battle (including immediately after taking control of it after a battle).
Once the Racket is lost (for example taken by another gang), the bonus is also lost.
There are 2 ways to take control of Rackets:
- Winning a battle with a Racket at stake.
- Racket as exchange for Captives.
Campaign variations

Resource Bonuses
All Resources are unique and have different bonuses:
Income
Add the amount of credits to the Stash when collecting income from Resources (including any that was won from the previous battle).
Recruits
- Free to recruit (does not cost any credits).
- The cost is added to Gang Rating and Wealth.
- Equipment must be purchased separately (unless otherwise specified).
- Hired guns remain with the gang while in control of the Resource.
- Hangers-on can be recruited regardless of Reputation and will not affect the maximum amount of Hangers-on the gang may have.
YAQ
Once the Resource is lost, the Hangers-on is also lost. The Hangers-on will never leave the gang because of injuries and can't be killed. Note that this means it’s important to distinguish between those that are regular hangers-on and those territory-related (if you control both types and at least one is drafted into a battle).
Equipment
- Can be distributed to eligible fighters.
- Free equipment is lost when the Resource is lost.
- Purchased equipment is kept after the Resource is lost.
- The (full) cost is added to Gang Rating and Wealth, even for discounted and free items.
Reputation
Increase the Reputation while in control of the Resource. When the Resource is lost, decrease Reputation with the equal amount.
Special
If the Resource is lost, so is the benefit.
Enhanced Bonuses
Some Resources have Enhanced bonuses that require specific criterias to be met in order to claim them.
Gang-Specific
Gang Specific bonuses can only be claimed by the specified gang. It will replace generic bonuses of the same type.
Linked
Linked bonuses can be claimed by taking control of the specified Resources. They are claimed in addition to any duplicate types of bonuses, except income. Only a single Income bonus can be claimed.
