Smuggling (import and export)

Smuggler is the international branch of the drug game in BELLOCCO. Dealing drugs local your supply wears, lift with smuggling your business across the border: You make money on it Price difference between countries. Buy low, deliver where the street price is sky high, and insert the spread in your pocket. The smuggling page has three tabs: Smuggling run (your next job), Recent runs (your history, clickable and with pagination) and Top smugglers (seasonal ranking on profit). This is import-export, mafia-style: bold, lucrative, not scared bosses.

How a smuggling run works

1. Load. Choose a drug from your stock, a destination country and the amount. The cargo immediately disappears from your stock into the cargo hold. Optionally pay your bribe.
2. Fly. The run costs travel time (standard about 10 minutes, adjustable). Meanwhile, your cargo is high in the air, out of range, and you can just keep playing.
3. Customs control. Upon arrival, the chance of getting caught rolls. If you get through, you sell at the current street price of the destination country and cash the winnings. If you get caught, you lose your whole load and you turn into the cell (standard 3 to 10 minutes).

After each run a short cooling time (standard 2 minutes) applies before the coast is safe again.

Cargo compartment: from mule to Hell-Angel

How much you take per run depends on your best aircraft. Without a plane, you'll be like mule a poor 15 units (default). Each aircraft has its own separate setup cargo hold (irrespective of the bomb capacity you use in bombing), the heavier the coffin, the more contraband fits into it. The actual cargo areas by plane can be seen directly in the gun shop.

Did you get it? VIP benefit +10% cargo hold, then there will be 10% on top. You can buy planes at the gun shop. Store & Equipment.

The odds of getting caught: So you reduce the risk

Customs is the only real enemy on your route. The gauntlet is composed of clear buttons (all values by default, adjustable by management):

• Base: 20%. Every run starts here.
• Load: +1% per 10 units above the first 10 free units. A full Nachtraaf consequently flies far more risky than a half full Cessna.
• Condition of your plane: up to −12% in top condition. A rattling box stands out; maintenance pays.
• Money: −14%. Cost 10% of the purchase value of your load (minimum €2,500). A couple of bills in the right pocket and the customs officer looks away.
• Lower limit: 4%. Smuggling is always a gamble too for the perfect run.

The quote on the smuggling page calculates this for you live, with and without bribes, so that you know exactly what risk you are running.

The spread: This is how you make a profit.

Each country has its own Swinging street price per drug. The difference between your purchase value (home country) and the sale price (destination) is your spread. The market floats itself, so the smart smuggler waits for the gap to spread. Please note: the payment is calculated on the price upon arrival On your flight, the market can still move, both ways. Your proceeds also scale with the seasonal theme and the economic balance.

Bonus sales: Sometimes a customer pays above the market price

By a successful delivery There's a chance you'll find a buyer who pays more than the normal street price. bonus sales of 5% to 30% above the market price on that run. This is just lucky. You see it only after arrival, in the delivery report and in the beef detail. It doesn't happen every run and the bonus has been deliberately kept modest, so it remains a nice surprise without disrupting the economy and without smuggling itself getting better than usual selling on the street. If you are caught by customs, then the bonus sale does not apply to those loads that arrive safely.

Loot next to profit

A successful run yielded more than cash: XP (scales the size of your load), seasonal points, a chance of a Safe code and on a tuning part for your vehicles. Each run counts for your smuggling performance, day jobs, week challenges and tournaments. The thickest runs even get the news.. and show off the best smugglers of the season on the tab Top smugglers, ranked by profit.

Looking back recent runs

On the tab Recent runs is your whole history, neatly paginated. Every run is clickable for the full story: Which drug, which route, how big the shipment, or you paid bribes, and what it earned under the line. That's how you learn which routes and drugs are best profitable for you.

Tip: during a city event if Drug deficiency or Customs strike Shoot up the prices or fall the border open the moment for a big run.
