Vehicle Theft

Gangster Nation Guide

Vehicle Theft is an important crime, here you will source most of your vehicles which can be used in various ways. Just click or tap on the vehicle you want to steal. It can be difficult to steal you first vehicle. However, keep trying and you will soon find success. Stolen vehicles can then be found in Your Garage.

Attempt

You're given a choice of 6 vehicles on each attempt and can choose one of these vehicles to try stealing. During the Motor Madness special event and Deathmatch, the choice of vehicles increases from 6 to 10.

Spawn rates

In Vehicle Theft, each vehicle has a different spawn rate. For most vehicles, the spawn rate is based on their original cost (the value at 0% damage), with higher value vehicles appearing less often. However, some vehicles have a unique spawn rate that doesn't follow this pattern.

Searching

There's a "Search more" button below the vehicle list. This enables you to look for more vehicles before choosing one to steal. Each search will replace your current group of vehicles.

If you're a Certified Gangster you will also see a "Previous" button. This button enables you to move back to a previous group of vehicles if you change your mind and want to try a previously seen vehicle. The numbers above the buttons (e.g. 3/4) show the current group of vehicles you're viewing and the maximum group for your current attempt. After navigating to a previous group, you can move forward again using the "Next" button and search for more vehicles again once you're looking at your latest group.

There's a limit of 80 searches per day but you can buy more through the Credit Store and Black Market (daily special).

Success chance

The chance for stealing a vehicle is represented by the green bar.

If there is anything temporarily boosting your chance (e.g. a perk, special event or Deathmatch), this portion of the chance bar is shown in a darker green.

For standard vehicles, chances begin at 15%. However some vehicles, such as those available during events, may begin at a higher chance.

Each time you attempt to steal a vehicle, the chance of stealing *that particular model* will increase by 5%, up to a maximum of 90%.

Level points

If you pass a Vehicle Theft you will receive 4 points and an additional 1 point for every $500,000 of the vehicle's value. For example, stealing a vehicle worth 450k will give you 4 points, whilst stealing a vehicle of $1,000,000 will give you 6 points. If you fail to steal a vehicle you will receive 1 point.

Streaks

If you successfully steal more than one vehicle consecutively, you will be on a winning streak. Each successful vehicle you steal while on a streak will reduce your wait time by 4 seconds. The minimum wait time you can reach is 2 minutes, reached once you build up a streak of 45 vehicle thefts.

Vehicle Log

This tab shows stats for every vehicle you can steal.

The personal stats shown for each vehicle are:

You can sort the vehicles by various stats using the dropdown menu at the top of the screen, as well as switching between showing personal stats and vehicle stats (including max speed, 0-60 time, value and capacity).

Statistics

Rank

Your Vehicle Theft rank is based on the total value of vehicles stolen. There's a separate rank for the best streaks.

Milli Vehicles

A "Milli" is a vehicle with a cost price (0% damage) of at least $1,000,000. These vehicles are highly desired in Gangster Nation but extremely rare. The Personal Record section shows the number of Milli Vehicles you've seen, attempted and stolen. There's nothing special about these vehicles other than their high value. A good use for a Milli Vehicle is the Pimp My Ride mission; the reward can run very high for the right vehicles.
