The Fifth Family of course boasts systems like many others in this genre.. with a twist. I knew launching a game in this genre would absolutely require systems to be unique to have a chance of success and to thrive - I believe we are delivering so far and there is so much more room for potential; we’re elevating rapidly.

STREET INTEL
A ranked solo prestige system, where you can take advantage of active opportunities every 5-10 minutes with environmental modifiers. Complete tougher missions as your user level progresses - missions appear globally for all users at difficulty between Low & Extreme risk. Completing higher difficulty with "Critical Success" gives you a solid shot at a Legendary loot drop.

ARENA
A weekly async combat ladder with silent hits against other competitors. Pure ranking. Pure prestige & the entire server is in the pool with a Mythic "Champion’s Belt of the Arena" up for grabs for #1 with rewards for the top 100. A hybrid elo system drives fair match ups and varying points depending on opponent difficulty & current ranking. Every level no matter the stats can compete at the top.

STREET RACING
We took our time with this to really see how other similar games apply this system. We decided to go further and convert racing into a mini-game system with daily leaderboards for the best racers.

IRON FIST GYM
A semi-idle system to grow your statistics - no instant training & result. Every stat has meaningful enhancements not only to the base stat but to Dodge, Crits & Blocks. Every area of the gym has a rank to max before unlocking your next.
