First, What is Gangster Arena?

Gangster Arena, being built by Uncharted, is an on-chain strategy game on the Blast Blockchain where you play as a mob boss aiming to increase your gang's reputation and climb the leaderboard. Recruit Gangsters and Goons, engage in gang wars, and strategically expand your influence. Uncharted aims to make crypto gaming more enjoyable and rewarding. The company is backed by notable investors, including Shima, Spartan, and Zynga co-founder Justin Waldron.

Gangster Arena Gameplay

Gameplay Basics and In-Game Currency $GREED

In Gangster Arena, Gangsters are key members of a gang, generating the in-game currency $GREED, which can be earned up to 800 $GREED daily. They are crucial in battles due to their skills. Goons, on the other hand, assist by farming xGREED, an off-chain currency essential for upgrades.

Safehouses are vital for protecting resources and expanding the gang's capacity, which enhances both defensive and offensive capabilities. Gang Wars are a significant part of the gameplay, introducing strategic depth through different modes such as earning, defending, and raiding. These modes affect the gang's reputation and resources, with wars being resolved every 12 hours. 

War for ETH

Gangster Arena integrates the Blast Blockchain to connect in-game achievements with real blockchain rewards. The in-game currency $GREED, an ERC20 token, is used for purchases and can be traded for ETH. xGREED, although off-chain, can be converted to $GREED, adding a strategic layer to currency management. This blockchain feature ensures players are rewarded beyond the game itself.

Introducing Crew Wars: New Feature Overview

The introduction of Crew Wars brings a fresh dynamic to Gangster Arena, focusing on teamwork. Players can join or create crews using $GREED, with varying fees for joining based on the crew's rank. Crew Wars rewards are distributed according to individual contributions, with the crew leader receiving 5% of the total rewards and the remaining 95% shared among crew members.

Crew Wars

The initial prize pool for Crew Wars exceeds $100,000 and includes 4.5 ETH, 10 million $GREED, 3 million $xU, and 159,000 Blast Gold. Additionally, the prize pool will increase throughout the season as 3% of all $GREED trading fees and 50% of all $GREED spent are reinvested into the rewards. This structure encourages player engagement and active participation.

Reward Distribution

Rewards in Crew Wars are tiered based on crew rankings:

• Rank 1: 24%
• Rank 2: 19%
• Rank 3: 15%
• And so on, down to Rank 10, which receives 1.5%
