Jett_J Posted October 13, 2023 Report Posted October 13, 2023 ATMs are pretty shit rn and should have some buffs. They take quite a while to complete, you get the police called on you very often, and the payout is just over 1k. Even if you don't get the cops called on you, you're pretty likely to get spotted by a civilian or police officer who will get you busted since it takes so long. High risk, low reward, and slow. I think the payout should be raised or make the 911 calls a rare occurrence, not like every third time you hit an ATM. Having a 911 call script makes sense since you're breaking into something in public but with other factors considered they are not balanced. 3
Requiem Posted October 16, 2023 Report Posted October 16, 2023 Make it more like store robberies imo. An "alarm" or 911 call can go out right as someone finishes up smashing into it rather than right when they start. Because many of them are out in the open somewhere, they still run the risk of a random cop or civilian seeing them actively smashing it.
Puzzling Posted October 17, 2023 Report Posted October 17, 2023 Or even half way through once the security company gets back from their coffee break they look at see the man smacking it and then they alert the PD!
Eliza Posted October 18, 2023 Report Posted October 18, 2023 +1 on this. I will say that ATMs are pretty low risk for the payout they give. But I do think the 911 call should be changed because by the time you finish beating up the ATM there’s a high chance cops will be there waiting on you depending on which ATM you try and rob.
Quietthecutie Posted October 29, 2023 Report Posted October 29, 2023 +1 Its also kinda entry level crime? low payout. the risk should be appropiate to the resources someone hitting an ATM would typically have.
heelsoul Posted November 6, 2023 Report Posted November 6, 2023 +1 When first starting the server, I was testing out a few options on how to make money - legal; illegal. The worst one by far is ATM robbing, wayyyy too complicated for the payout. It should be buffed by a decent bit - not making it overpowered but balanced enough so experienced players dont farm it and just make quick bank, but so beginners have more options to explore.
Eliza Posted October 24, 2025 Report Posted October 24, 2025 ATMs have since had several buffs, including pay, less chance for police to get notified, and even being able to steal the ATM from the wall
