Protection rent hampered temporarily with a bodyguard
Not every safety comes from a firearm. With Store & Equipment, tab Rent protection, buy you a bodyguard in: For a few hours no player can make you seizures. No bullet vest that muffles damage PvP attack simply blocks, even before it starts. Convenient after a big job with a fat loot in your pocket, or just before you go offline.
What exactly blocks protection
As long as your protection is active, no player can seizures through an ordinary PvP robbery So no cash stolen from you. The attacker gets a report that you are "currently under the protection of a bodyguard" and are untouchable until it expires.
Please note: This isn't protection from attempted murder.
A common misconception: The bodyguard of "Rental Protection" protects you not against a murder attempt through the Murder system. That is deliberately a separate system. If you want to be untraceable to murderers, you rent in the same Store & Equipment tab Hiding A loose, cheaper tool (standard around €10,000 per hour, with a daily limit of 5 hours per day) that specifically makes you untraceable for attempted murder, but does nothing to prevent an ordinary attack. There is also armor (Homicide Protection tab) that increases your chances of survival in a murder attempt without completely blocking it. Three loose, narrow systems instead of one all-covering shield so choose your own risk and at what price. Read more about the complete arsenal in Store & Equipment.
What further protection does not cover
A bodyguard guarded you against attacks, not your possessions and not any other danger in the game:
- Murder attempts Just stay possible for this there is the loose hiding (see above).
- Holdings just stay robbable see robbing companies.
- Map Spots just remain bombardable and transmissible map capture spots.
- Bleeding to death After previous damage, it simply runs through protection against death from injuries you already had.
- Staff action (e.g. in the case of breaches of rules) always goes on, protection or not.
Protection is therefore purely a shield against one specific risk: an ordinary PvP attack on your cash. All the other risk in the game just continues to exist.
Rental: price and duration
You rent by whole hour, at a fixed price per hour (standard €150,000, scales along with the active economy preset). Hire you on top of an ongoing period, then stacked That just goes on: you buy 1 hour now while there is another 20 minutes, then your protection ends 1 hour and 20 minutes from now.
On the tab you will see exactly how much time is left on the clock and until what time you are covered, plus how much cash you have in your pocket to continue hiring.
The limit of the day why you can't hide permanently
Buying unlimited protection would destroy the honesty of the game: anyone who has enough cash would simply never be attackable again. Therefore, a hard day limit (default 2 hours per calendar day, adjustable by the staff). Once you have completed that limit, you can only hire the next day again at midnight. Thus protection remains a tactical tool for the right moment, rather than a permanent shield.
You always see on the tab how much of your day limit you have already used (for example "1 / 2 hours"), and once you reach your maximum, the purchase option disappears until the next day.
Use Smart
- After a big job: Are you just sitting on a thick pile of cash after a successful robbery or drug deal? Hire an hour of protection to avoid becoming the target of a counterattack.
- Before you go offline: A few hours of protection before you're away for a while to prevent you from being robbed sleeping.
- Combine with hiding If you really want to cover wide: Protection stops attacks, hiding stops murder attempts. Together they cover the most important PvP risks against your person.
- Not as a escape route for your businesses: Don't forget your possessions just remain vulnerable. Protection saves you, not your empire.
- Plan around your day limit: With only a few hours available a day, timing is more important than hoarding.
Frequently asked questions
What exactly is blocking protection?
One thing: ordinary PvP attacks by other players on you (including cash theft). As long as you run protection, they stop at once.
Does protection protect me from attempted murder?
No, that's a common misconception. Murder protection runs through a separate, cheaper system: Submerge (table in the same shop), by default around €10,000 per hour with your own day limit. Rental protection (the bodyguard) only blocks ordinary attacks.
Does it also protect my companies or map spots?
No. Protection only applies to your own person against attacks. Companies remain raidable and plan-spots remain bombable and manageable, regardless of whether you have protection active.
Am I safe from bleeding to death?
No. Protection is purely a shield against an ordinary attack by another player. Bleeding to death from existing injuries remains just risk, just like intervention by the staff.
How much does protection cost?
Standard € 150,000 per hour, scaling with the active economy preset. You rent every hour and a new purchase stacks on top of an ongoing period.
Why is there a day limit?
Without limit, a player with enough cash could be permanently untouchable for attacks. The daily limit (standard 2 hours a day) protects a tactical tool instead of a permanent shield. The counter reset every night at midnight.
