Tier Upgrades
Upgrade Paths
Tier upgrades are one-way and permanent. You can never downgrade.
- Crew → Clique or Cartel (skipping Clique is allowed)
- Clique → Cartel only
- Cartel → no further upgrades (maximum tier)
Only the Owner or Co-Owner can initiate a tier upgrade.
How the Cost Is Calculated
The system calculates what you would have paid for your current levels at the target tier, then subtracts what you already paid at your current tier. You pay only the difference — a catch-up payment.
- Upgrading at level 0 before buying any levels is the cheapest time to upgrade.
- The more levels you have already purchased, the higher the catch-up cost, because higher tiers have steeper per-level pricing.
Payment uses the same 50/50 split as level-ups: half from gang bank money, half from gang credits. Both must be sufficient to proceed.
