Rent your first plot
- Find a settlement with an owner. The FAQ says a base can only be established in an owned settlement. [1361]
- Choose an empty plot and pay rent at its sign. In level 2 or 3 districts, you also need special documents from the Black Market; no document price is given. [1361]
Security and raiding use different tools
Swipe the table sideways to compare columns ↔
| System or item | Documented function |
|---|---|
| Security fuses | Increase the effort and time needed for an attacker to hack [1363] |
| Defense modules | Alert allies when a raid is underway [1363] |
| Decoder | Gives temporary access through a rival’s Security System [1364] |
| Security repair | Owners can restore the system and lock an attacker out [1364] |
Owning a settlement is a separate step
Buying a settlement with rentable plots allows the owner to collect a share of tenant spending and laundering. The owner must collect that share in person. This is not the same as renting a single plot. [1362]
