Warrants need nerfed

[Vengy 100]

Just gonna get right to it, warrants are OP and annoying as hell. I would love to see them removed but that won’t happen. However, I think the community might agree on nerfing the system. 
 

1) Costs APD nothing to place a warrant and civilians have to either immediately quit playing the game or purchase a warrant jammer. This creates an unbalanced system.

2) No cool down on warrants, I have had a few warrant placed on me, bought a warrant jammer and within 5 min had another warrant placed on me. Bought another jammer, used it, then a warrant was placed on my friend with a low bounty. Again, unbalanced system. 
 

edit: there is a cool down but can just place the warrant on fellow gang member to essentially bypass this. 

3) I may be mistaken but I don’t believe there is a bounty minimum for warrants, so if you want to find a gang just start spamming warrants, costs nothing. 
 

4) The 3km zone that apd claims makes this system balanced is bs. If the zone has rebel outpost in it, the apd are just going to check that first. With a ghosthawk.
 

5) Warrants are hurting small gangs. Police are usually rolling 8+ members deep and unlimited lives. Our gang has usually 3-4 people online at a time and frequently has high bounties. We don’t even want to play once our bounty gets high and we don’t want to sit in jail to clear the bounty either.

A lot of the points you addressed are wrong, I suggest reading this

There are 2 warrant slots, each has a 30 minute cooldown when it is completed or a warrant jammer is used. 

there is a minimum bounty of 750k to get a warrant placed on yoU

it is a 3km radius zone so it is huge, most cops can’t check rebels and the ones that can are not allowed to check a redzone with a ghost hawk the first time

hope this helps

I searched warrants on wiki and couldn’t find this. Thanks for sharing.

 

doesnt change much tbh. They can just place a warrant on my buddy who I’m obviously with.

3km is not large by any means when you have a helicopter or plane and use deductive reasoning. 
 

most of the time there is a sergeant+ online, at least in the evenings when I play.

There has been tons of ideas for it in the past, maybe take it up with civ council? A previous idea was giving warpoints to the suspect for killing cops while warrant is active, I always liked that idea. Maybe ask @ silton  or @ Cowboy- for more insight
