Raiding Buffs — The Level 17 Choice

The Level 17 Gate

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:

Choice	Effect
Keypad Cracker Boost	Cracking duration × 0.85 — approximately 15% faster than base
Lockpick Boost	Lockpicking duration × 0.85 — approximately 15% faster than base

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.
