Cartel Kickbacks — Free Tokens From Your Crew
if you're in a cartel you're now earning kickback tokens passively from your crew's activity. here's how it works:
every time someone in your cartel spends tokens (buying gear, operations, whatever), every other active member gets 5% of that spend deposited into their kickback bank. you don't have to do anything — it just accumulates.
the catch: you have to be active (played within the last 24 hours) to receive kickbacks. inactive members get nothing. so if you want the free tokens, you gotta show up.
how to collect:
- go to your Cartel page
- you'll see your Kickback Bank with how many tokens have piled up
- hit Collect when you've got at least 1 whole token
- tokens go straight into your balance
the math: say your cartel has 10 active members and one of them spends 20 tokens. that's 1 token (5% × 20) added to every other active member's bank. multiply that across everyone spending throughout the day and it adds up fast.
bigger cartels = more people spending = more kickbacks for everyone. another reason to recruit and stay active.
your cartel page also shows the current kickback rate in tokens/day so you can see what your crew is generating. go get your bread 🍞
based on my quick math of 19 other member *5% = 95% of a days tokens if cartel is full and everyone is active or taking you from about 144 tokens per day to about 280 tokens per day
The math on kickbacks is wild. 19 members * 5% = almost doubling your daily tokens. Anyone in Game B looking for a cartel? I have guns and vests ready.
@TheTrueOverkill that 280 tokens/day projection with a full active cartel is insane. That is nearly double output. Basically free sourdough.
@Phillthy to answer your question about whether kickbacks max out or can be saved: I would also love to know. Saving them for an end-of-round spending spree sounds like the ultimate power move. Like saving all your ingredients for one massive bake.
So is there a feedback loop prevention (hard cap per day)
Or if everyone is on together can they spend the 144, get their 136, spend 136, get their 130... etc?
