EARN POINTS, FOLLOW PREREQUISITES
How to earn and spend Feature Vault points
Feature Vault points open activities, equipment and upgrades. Earn them through completed actions or quest rewards, then follow the node connections for the feature you need. The Wiki gives a 9,999-point cap. Cash purchases and Prestige spending remain separate.
Mechanics and exact figures below come from the official Wiki alone, checked on 29 October 2026. They are single-source details; editorial route suggestions are identified separately.
Repeatable ways to earn points
These are Feature Vault rewards, separate from the skill XP earned by a character.
| Completed action | FV points |
|---|---|
| Sell a stolen car | 20 |
| Successful pickpocket or manual street sale | 1 |
| Complete a taxi trip | 1 |
| Warehouse handler stores packaged output | 1 |
| Club customer leaves at 50–74 / 75–99 / 100 happiness | 1 / 2 / 4, with possible extra-service bonuses |
Choose nodes for your next activity
The priorities here are editorial suggestions based on the Wiki prerequisites. Buy an unlock when you can also afford the property, supplies and operating costs it enables.
| Goal | Node and FV cost | Other requirements |
|---|---|---|
| Start a family | Recruit gangsters: 50 | Office access; Office purchase is $5,000 |
| Small indoor production | Drying rack: 50; Crafting Table: 100; Lab Table: 200 | Property access; buy equipment separately |
| Street distribution | Drug Selling Points: 100 | Carry stock; capture a point for its management options |
| Vehicle theft income | Stolen Car Sales: 100 | A lockpick and a sellable stolen car |
| Office work delegation | Job-type assignment: 300 | Office access |
| Bulk contracts | Cartel connections: 500 | Warehouse access and enough stock |
| Capo progression | Office L2: 100; L3: 300; promote to capos: 900 | Office access; L3 node follows L2; cash upgrades and Prestige are extra |
| Owned distribution stand | Hot Dog stand: 100 | City Hall availability, stand purchase and stock |
| Business automation | Managers: 999 | Hire fee, daily wage and an operating budget |
Check prerequisites before spending
Property access grants basic pots and seeds; Warehouse access grants the initial grow box, drying rack, break room and Lab Room. Automatically granted nodes require no second point payment. Higher drug tiers and recipes have their own prerequisite chains.
City Hall donations do not earn FV points
Each donation adds 10 to a separate stand-availability meter. Reaching 100 opens another stand purchase opportunity. Spend 100 FV points on the Hot Dog stand node separately; donations never fill that FV balance.
Questions
What should I unlock first?
Choose a working route: recruitment for an Office-led start, equipment for indoor production, or sales access when you already have stock. These are editorial priorities, not a proven universal build.
Can I buy Feature Vault points at City Hall?
The documented donation reward is stand-unlock progress, not FV points. Earn FV points through the activities listed above or quest rewards.
