Turfs are special areas around Los Santos that groups can fight over and own.

Think of turfs like "territory" or "land" for your group.

If your group owns a turf:

• Your group controls that area
• Enemy groups can attack it
• Your group earns rewards
• NPC guards protect the area

Every turf is shown on the minimap.

Turf Colors:

• Grey - Nobody owns the turf
• Red - Turf war currently happening
• Group Color - Turf belongs to a group

Every turf contains:

• 1 Turf Boss NPC
• Up to 3 Turf Guard NPCs

The Turf Boss is used to START the turf war. The Turf Guards protect owned turfs from enemies.

Owning turfs gives your group many benefits.

• More Territory
  Your group controls more parts of Los Santos.
• Weekly Leaderboard Progress
  The best groups compete to become #1 every week.
• Money Rewards
  Winning turf wars gives money to your members.
• Protection
  NPC guards defend your turf automatically.

The more turfs your group controls, the stronger and more respected your group becomes.

---

Your group earns statistics by participating in turf wars. These stats are tracked automatically:

• Captures
  How many turfs your group successfully captured.
• Defenses
  How many enemy attacks your group successfully defended against.
• Turf Kills
  How many enemy players your group killed inside turf zones.
• Control Index
  A calculated percentage that shows how dominant your group is in turf wars.

What is Control Index?

Control Index is your group's overall "power score". The better your group performs in turf wars, the higher your Control Index becomes. You do NOT need to calculate it manually - the server handles everything automatically.

Higher Control Index = Higher rank on the leaderboard.

Leaderboard & Statistics:

• Turf Statistics Webpage
  View the full turf leaderboard, rankings, and detailed statistics.
• /gturfs
  Shows the top 6 groups with the highest Control Index in-game.

A turf war can ONLY start if:

• The turf is not already under attack
• The turf is not on cooldown
• Your group is not on cooldown
• You are inside the turf zone
• At least 2 group members are inside the zone

If any requirement is missing, the turf war will not begin.

Starting a turf war is simple.

Step-by-step:

1. Enter the turf with your group
2. Go near the Turf Boss NPC
3. Aim to rob the Turf Boss for 7 seconds
4. If all requirements are met, the turf war starts

Once started:

• The turf flashes between RED and the turf owner group color on the minimap.
• A server announcement appears
• The 5-minute battle begins

---

---

To capture the turf, your group must hold the turf for 5 minutes.

That means:

• Qualified attackers must stay alive
• Your group must keep enough members inside the zone
• Enemies must be pushed out or killed

If your group survives for the full timer:

• The turf becomes yours
• Your group color appears on the map
• NPC guards become assigned to your group
• Rewards are paid instantly

---

---

This is VERY important. Only players who are INSIDE the turf when the war STARTS become QUALIFIED ATTACKERS

What does this mean?

Only qualified attackers:

• Count toward the turf war
• Can help capture the turf
• Can prevent the attack from failing

Late arrivals do NOT count.

Example:

• 4 players start the turf war
• 10 more friends arrive later
• Those 10 players cannot officially join the attack

This exists to stop infinite reinforcements and keep fights fair.

---

---

A turf war instantly fails if:

• No qualified attackers remain inside the turf
• There are 0 qualified non-AFK attackers inside the turf

If the attack fails:

• The original owner keeps the turf
• The attacking group receives a cooldown

Important requirement:

• At least 2 players are required to start a turf attack
• At least 1 qualified non-AFK attacker is required to successfully hold and win the turf

Qualified attackers are expected to stay inside the turf zone at all times.

If you leave the turf zone:

• You will receive a 10-second warning to return
• If you remain outside the turf for longer than 10 seconds, you will be removed and ignored from the turf war
• Once removed, you will no longer count as a qualified attacker
• This functions the same way as dying during the turf war

This prevents players from abusing the system by constantly running away.

---

---

During active turf wars:

Allowed:

• PvP combat
• Killing enemy group members
• Entering vehicles inside the turf
• Defending your territory

NOT Allowed:

• Entering houses
• Entering businesses
• Entering group interiors

These rules exist to keep fights fair and prevent exploits. This is enforced server-side, meaning the script automatically handles and blocks these actions during active turf wars.

---

---

Starting a turf war does NOT automatically give wanted level.

Wanted level is ONLY given for:

• Killing enemy players
• Successfully winning a turf
• Failing a turf attack

This means:

• You can start a turf peacefully
• But fighting and consequences still matter

---

---

Winning a turf rewards your group instantly.

BASE REWARD

• Every successful turf capture starts with a base payout of $1,500

BONUS REWARD

• You earn an additional $2,000 for every enemy player online during the attack

WHO RECEIVES THE MONEY?

The reward is paid instantly to:

• All online group members
• Players who are fully spawned into the game

REWARD COOLDOWN

• To prevent abuse, players may only receive up to $10,000 rewards every 8 HOURS

WEEKLY GROUP REWARD
Every week, the best turf group on the server receives a huge reward:

• At the end of each week, the #1 ranked group with the highest Control Index on the leaderboard receives a bonus reward of $1,500,000. The reward is deposited directly into the group vault.

This means turf wars are not only about fighting - they are about building your group's reputation, power, and influence across Los Santos. The group that performs the best each week will earn the weekly reward and establish itself as the top group on the server.

---

Cooldowns exist to prevent nonstop spam attacks and to keep turf wars fair and organized.

TURF COOLDOWN
After a turf is successfully captured:

• 15 minutes cooldown
• The turf cannot be attacked again during this time

This gives the owning group time to regroup and prepare defenses.

GROUP ATTACK COOLDOWN
After your group starts or finishes a turf war (win or lose):

• 5 minutes cooldown
• Your group cannot start another turf attack during this time

This prevents constant back-to-back attacks and keeps battles balanced.

---

---

Owned turfs are protected by NPC guards.

What do guards do?

• Attack enemy criminal groups entering the turf
• Protect the owners automatically
• Stop attacking when enemies leave

Guards help defend your territory even when group members are offline.

---

---

Police may respond to wanted criminals during turf wars. However, some commands are disabled to keep turf wars balanced.

Police cannot use:

• /cuff
• /taze

Criminals cannot use:

• /sh
• /stun

---

---

Turfs are meant to create:

• Organized group wars
• Territory battles
• Competition between criminal groups
• Long-term rivalry

Turfs are NOT designed to turn the server into nonstop deathmatch.

Winning requires:

• Teamwork
• Planning
• Defense
• Communication
• Active members

The strongest and smartest groups will control Los Santos and dominate the weekly leaderboard.

---

At release, the Turf system will initially be available to the following groups:

Blackouts
Vic's Gang
TGOLS
VLA
Renegades
Hooligans

The system is currently still being stress-tested and monitored, so we are starting with a smaller number of groups first.

These groups were selected based on their activity, consistency, and engagement on the server.

Additional groups may be added later on as the system expands. Groups added in the future will be required to donate for a group vault beforehand.

Thank you,
LS-RCR Administration

Amazing!

Good luck everyone!

Have fun defending your turfs

Wow looks like a very cool update, big ups to the devs

Good Update

Very great update thanks, but lets say I am a member in many groups, isnt attacking another group turf and I am in that group loses me trust? Some players are members of most groups how does that work?

Incredible
