See what you’ll do in your new mob
If developing a character and competing with other players kept you coming back to Original Gangstaz, start by looking at LCN’s Jobs and equipment screens.

Jobs show the Energy needed, any equipment requirements and the rewards. Complete them to earn cash and experience for your mobster.

Compare weapons, armour and vehicles, then equip your character. The Personal Loadout screen shows the attack and defence values of your gear.
Properties give you another goal: build regular income to help support your mob. Once you know the basics, look for a Syndicate that welcomes new players.
