FAQ
Which gang appears in every district?
The Zaibatsu Corporation operates across Downtown, Residential, and Industrial; the other factions are tied to one district.
Why does respect matter?
Respect unlocks harder and better-paying phone missions, while working against one gang can improve Claude's standing with its rivals.
How do gangs affect the mission route?
These factions offer the district jobs, and their identities and turf explain how the route is divided.
