THE CHAOS LADDER
Every mistake has a number. The city adds them up, and every two points sends a fresh wave from the precinct doors.
WHAT ADDS UP
Any stray shot+1
Hit a civilian+2
Every 2 chaosA WAVE
Reinforcements1 + LVL + CHAOS
CHAOS 9 · MANHUNT
"That's ENOUGH. Manhunt in effect." Every unit in the district, plus the precinct's whole bench. There is no talking your way down from here.
NIGHT RULES
MAKE MORE DARK.
Lit zones expose you; unlit ones hide you. Shoot out the lamps to grow the shadow — and he reroutes through what light is left. The dark is a tool, if you know how to hold it.
FIRE & RELOCATE
THEY SWARM THE SHOT.
Every free unit converges on where your round came from, circling it in tightening rings. So your old perch gets swarmed — not your position. Take the shot, then be somewhere else.
▸ THE WHOLE JOB
THREE INPUTS. THAT'S IT.
LEFT CLICK
move / fire
RIGHT CLICK
scope / reposition
THE WHEEL
zoom
Left click, right click, the wheel. Everything else is you reading the map, the light, and the band — and deciding when the street is finally quiet enough.
