Difficulty Overhaul

Difficulty Overhaul

More armed police, property raids and rival gangs for Schedule I.

What it adds

• 40 police officers by default, with 12-32 patrolling outside in pairs as pressure rises.
• Stronger weapons and reinforcements during pursuits.
• Production-property raids. Defend before the countdown ends or lose workers, illegal stock, seeds, crops and drug batches. Laundering businesses are excluded.
• Benzies, Sierra Roja and Costa Verde attacks on you and hired dealers. Defeated dealers lose every carried item and all sales cash. Benzies attacks stop after their story defeat in that save.

Pressure follows rank, properties and pursuits. Patrol density, squads and timings are configurable. Reduce patrol density if performance suffers.
