Being new to the game it (just over a month) makes you an easy target. Mugging and being mugged is a normal part of the game.:-
- part of a mission
- form of money running (take contents of victims wallet)
- faction war (normally you' hospitalize them)
- revenge mugging (you attck my friend I return the favour)
Normally when I mug for money running, my targets are people who have been inactive for quite a while and 1 level down from me (usually 200 days or more). This is not the best way to earn money, the obvious and easiest only happens once you reach level 15.
This morning I woke up and was greeted by an attack notification which is now a common experience. The only difference is, I won! Boy was I surprised as I peered at my phones display from under the bed covers.
BREAKDOWN
Not only is his level and ranking significantly higher then me, but the amount of time he has been playing this game.
For this to happen it is a combination of your characters development (especially stats), education paths you take (successful business goals to combat goals) and lastly a lot of luck.
Not forgetting how to configure your players settings which is easy to see some don't. Example of my settings, if attacked automatically go through the following steps:-
- immediately use pepper spray (reduces his chances to hit you, not always successful) wait his turn
- use my melee weapon (in this case my ice-pick), why because most people have some form of bullet-proof vest.
- from this point on, randomly choose between the following weapons as my turn comes around, melee (ice-pick) primary (shotgun) secondary (pistol)
