Death, NLR, and Custody

What happens when you die, lose wallet cash, hit NLR restrictions, or get arrested.

Guide 310newUpdated 2026-04-27

Quick Start

  • Death can drop some wallet cash.
  • Respawn and do not rush back into the same conflict.
  • NLR can block returning to or interacting near your death area.
  • Arrest moves you into custody rules.
  • Bank money and pocket carefully to reduce losses.

Details

  • Death cash loss is calculated by server rules and spawned as a money stack.
  • Large wallet balances can lose more than the basic death drop.
  • NLR state can affect combat and interaction checks.
  • Arrested players can miss salary, lose radio access, and wait out custody.
  • Some skills or systems may reduce penalties within strict caps.

Gotchas

  • Dying is not a clean reset for revenge.
  • Wallet cash is riskier than bank balance.
  • Custody state can block tools, radio, and job behavior.
  • Do not exploit respawn timing to avoid roleplay consequences.
