Welcome back loyal readers!

It’s been another whole month since you were last here! I know we missed you too!

In this edition we are helping support the Crime Boss: Rockay City FREE WEEKEND! I know, we’ve moved up in the world with a sponsorship deal! Not bad right!

So anyway, what we thought we would do is ask the people who know best about the game itself! The Community!

Us journos, we only know how to do two things – how to spell ‘available’ right the second time around and voicing our opinions! Yes, those pink floral pants look delightful on you…

SOOOOO, here we have it – our Tips and Tricks segment from the wise community people of  the Crime Boss: Rockay City Reddit!

TRICKS OF THE TRADE – REDDIT EDITION

Baker’s Battle is a rogue-lite campaign, so you are not expected to conquer Rockay City at your first (few) attempts. This is perfectly okay – you will still earn plenty of permanent perks that will make subsequent campaign runs more successful. (JohnBart)

Always take cover. Prepare to have nightmares about Michael Rooker’s kissing sounds. (ClearNPresentCowboy)

You can shoot armored truck cages to quickly open them up instead of meleeing them, this also applies to warehouse boxes. In case you need to start snatching things quick. (astralhunt)

Grand heists netting you the most money could be absolutely difficult at your first few runs, but don’t worry: as you gain additional perks and funds, so will they become easier over time. Again, it’s a roguelite game, and it’s okay to fail at your first few tries. (JohnBart)

First tip, you are going to die. And have to restart. Focus on leveling up your boss points. For career mode focus on Hielo first. Even if a territory a day, depending how aggressive you are. Turfs equal money. Invest that money in turf takeover or upgrading your weapons for your crew. (7600Squawk)

Don’t worry if you fail a story mission – most storylines have several branching and alternative paths which can lead to juicy rewards, even if you fail some of their missions at first. In addition, certain heisters (like Clutch or Wiz) can only be recruited if you take said alternative paths. (JohnBart)

General tip is always kill detectives like go out of your way to do so and also be nice to civis. (Coffeeandgreentea)

You can smack a cop around to make them surrender. Even do a few in a group if you’re quick enough. (DinosaurLion)

When playing stealthily, consider that every heist which features security cameras will have a security room located somewhere on the map. Make it a priority to find said room and disable the cameras, as doing so makes stealth a lot easier. (JohnBart)

Mark guards & even civilians at all times it will save you been seen on many occasions. (DiggyDoolans)

Cops guarding a place needs to be melee’d to get them to be intimidated, if you just intimidate them they’ll radio in and shoot you! (astralhunt)

During each run, make sure to fully upgrade a couple of heisters. This not only gives you strong teammates for more difficult jobs and grand heists, but you can also re-hire them in later campaign runs fully upgraded. Some heisters only require spending money on their promotions, while others (like Ranger and Jupiter) have their own story missions that you also need to complete. (JohnBart)

There are so many great suggestions shared, and you can find all of them LINKED RIGHT HERE!So please go and take a look!

From the 7th to the 11th of September, it’s time get those trigger fingers at the ready.

Find the most ghastly outfit from the 90s – from of your parents wardrobe (or from your own) and call up your best friends on the burger phone (or modern day equivalent).

Because you and your buddies can now make your way down to Florida’s No. 1 tourist hotspot for all thing turf wars and criminality – the Crime Boss: Rockay City, Free Play Days is here! Yes, you in the pink neon jumpsuit – you are quite right, you can play Crime Boss: Rockay City for free from 7th to 11 September on Epic and Xbox Series X|S.

Take it solo in Baker Battle – the rogue-lite campaign where you take on the role of Travis Baker (Michael Madsen) – a man with his sights set on becoming the new King of Rockay City. Using strategy, cunning and a little fire power, you will carry out heists and take territory from rival gangs.

Or bring your buddies along and jump into the PVE co-op multiplayer and take on thrilling hits and heists with up to four players.
