Street Favors: Spend Respect on Temporary Boosts
Everything about Street Favors: the nine street contacts, trust levels, extending favors, money-saving packages and what else respect does for you.
In this article
Street Favors let you spend respect on temporary boosts from your contacts on the street. You find the page in the left menu under My Empire > Street Favors (/gunsten). You earn respect by playing, and other players can give it to you too, see Donating respect.
What else does respect do?
- Respect raises your chance of a successful prison break, up to a maximum at 144 respect.
- Respect counts toward your player ranking.
- Calling in favors really costs respect: your balance goes down. So think about what you actually need.

The price of each favor is shown on its card. The team can adjust prices and limits, so the exact amounts may differ from season to season.
Rules
- You can only have a limited number of favors active at the same time (3 by default).
- A favor does not stack with the same VIP perk: the stronger of the two applies.
- Favors run in real time, even while you are offline.
Trust: the more you call, the better the deal
Every contact has a trust level that goes up the more often you call on them.
| Level | From | Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| New contact | 0 times | None |
| Familiar | 3 times | 5% cheaper |
| Trusted | 8 times | 10% cheaper and 5 minutes longer |
| Right hand | 15 times | 15% cheaper and 10 minutes longer |
Extending
When a favor is about to run out (half or less of its duration left), you can extend it instead of waiting. The extension is added to the remaining time and costs the normal price, so a favor is never active for more than one and a half times its duration.
Packages
Packages call in several contacts at once, with an extra discount on top of your trust discount. Each favor still counts toward your limit.
| Package | Includes | Discount |
|---|---|---|
| Starter pack | Informant and Trainer | 10% |
| Night shift | Fixer, Launderer and Informant | 15% |
| Road trip | Wheelman and Smuggler | 10% |
Frequently asked questions
Where can I find Street Favors?
In the left menu under My Empire, or directly at /gunsten.
Do I lose respect when I call in a favor?
Yes, the price is deducted from your respect. That is the fair price of getting ahead.
Do favors still work if I have VIP?
Yes, but VIP perks and favors do not add up: the stronger of the two applies.
Can I get a refund on a favor?
No. Once you call in a favor, it is final.
