# Raiding Buffs — The Level 17 Choice

## **The Level 17 Choice**

When your gang reaches level 17, you earn the **Raiding Buffs** reward. Before the level-up is processed, leadership must permanently choose one of two raid speed boosts for the entire gang:

<table id="bkmrk-choiceeffect-keypad-"><thead><tr><th>Choice</th><th>Effect</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>**Keypad Cracker Boost**</td><td>Cracking duration × 0.85 — approximately 15% faster than base</td></tr><tr><td>**Lockpick Boost**</td><td>Lockpicking duration × 0.85 — approximately 15% faster than base</td></tr></tbody></table>

## **This Choice Is Permanent**

Once made, this cannot be changed under any circumstances. Consider your gang's typical raiding strategy carefully before confirming.

## **Bulk Level Block**

If you attempt to bulk-buy levels past 17 before making this choice, the entire bulk purchase is blocked with a message telling you to level to 17 individually first. You cannot skip or bypass this gate.
