• Base Payment: $20,000

• Distance: 10 km

• Player Heat Reduction: 20% (Banker faction)

Multipliers:

• Black Money: 3.0x

• Distance: 10 km × $15 × 2.5 (human smuggling) = $375

Final Calculation:

Base: $20,000
× Black Money (3.0x): $60,000
+ Distance Bonus: $375
= $60,375 total

Risk Management Tips

Start Low

Begin with low-risk runs to learn the mechanics.

Progress Gradually

Move to medium after 10+ low-risk completions.

High/Extreme Require Skills

Ghost Driver skill is almost mandatory for high-tier runs.

50% police dispatch means expect police every other run.

Choosing Your Tier

Consider Your Heat

Current Heat	Recommended Tier
0-20	Any
20-40	Low or Medium
40-60	Low only
60+	Wait for cooldown

Consider Your Skills

Ghost Driver Level	Recommended Max Tier
0	Low
1	Medium
2	High
3	Extreme

Consider Your Faction Rep

Higher faction rep = better survival at higher tiers due to:

• Payout bonuses

• Heat reduction

• Better escape chances
