# New Season: Rampage ## **Introducing Gangster Arena 4: Rampage** Crew wars was a interesting idea but needs work. We're back to individual rewards this season with a goal of diversifying the gameplay to make the game more fun and unpredictable. Super excited to introduce two major additions to the game: 1. **Auction House:** Blind auction bidding mini-game to convert xGREED to $GREED 2. **Raid Score**: Reputation isn't everything. Compete and earn based on your raiding prowess. Gangster Arena 4 will last for 2 weeks. ## **Rewards** We will seed the starting prize pool to make it more rewarding for players * 15m $GREED (\~5% of supply) * 100% of ETH spent in Gangster presale * 0.2% $xU (2M) * 229k Blast Gold\* In addition, prize pool will grow whenever players spend or trade $GREED * 90% of $GREED spend to player rewards (remaining 10% burned) * 30% auction house * 30% reputation ranking * 30% raid score * 2% of $GREED trading goes to reputation and raid rewards as ETH {% hint style="info" %} **\* Blast Gold** will be distributed as mid-season rewards based on a snapshot of U points as at **30th August midnight UTC**, due to requirements from Blast to distribute before Sep. {% endhint %} ## **Auction House** We want to introduce a new way for players to earn $GREED during the season, while adhering to our core pillar of game theory. **How it works:** * 30% of all $GREED spent will go to auction house rewards * Players can spend xGREED to make any number of non-refundable (and hidden) bids * The highest bids will win $GREED prizes each day Will you spend your precious xGREED to compete in the auction house?
## **Raid Score** We want to introduce a new goal for players that isn't just about reputation, so that there are more strategic trade-offs in the game. **How it works:** * 30% of all $GREED spent will go to Raid Rank rewards, which ranks players by **raid points** * Players steal **Raid Points** for successful attacks and defences in gang wars (players may have negative raid points) * The amount of raid points that a player can get is based on their total attack and defence, meaning bigger accounts can gain more points but also risk losing more. * Players can buy **Pistols** and **Shields** to boost their attack and defence. These items do not increase earning or reputation, but will help win gang wars. {% hint style="info" %} Note: Raid scores are a novel system designed to make gang wars more fun & earning more strategic. We will closely monitor how it plays out in practice and if changes are needed. {% endhint %} ## **Other Key Changes** * Removed crews and crew ranking * Removed gang war def bonus of safehouses and earning bonus of goons * Reduced minimum number of gangsters for gang war to 5 * Added gang war filter for raid score * Added new feature where winning a gang war also steals reputation * Added individual reputation ranking * Added gangster presale where ETH spent goes to prize pool * Added raid score as increasing U points * Changed contract logic so purchases can't be made at exact same time * Changed daily spin rewards to include goons, pistols and shields
