Reinforcements System

Overview

Allows all the gangs, and few corpos (Arasaka and Militech) to call for reinforcements, when fighting them.

How it works:

Usualy when starting the fight, there is a hidden grace time, that lasts up to a minute, that will be reduce as you play the game, but after that, all the enemies will be able to call for back up. The call lasts about 20 seconds, and is indicated using Phone icon over their head. After the call is finished, enemies will be dispatched, and route towards you, and after about 60 seconds, the enemies can perform another call.

The size of reinforcements(number of called enemies) is determined by heat size, which starts at 1 (which would normally result with only 1 weak biker enemy being called), and caps at 20 (which would be full elite squad). (Each subsequent call increases amount of enemy units chasing you).

The initial reinforcements size, depends on players Street Creed and if enemies are calling from within their own turf.

Each call increases player bounty with that gang, which also will increase initial reinforcement sizes (currently gang bounty is hidden from player), so as the game progresses, even single reinforcement call, will be able to summon pretty sizable force.

Each Gang / Corpo, has also extra characteristics to their reinforcements:

Gangs Characteristics:

Turf: Pacifica

Their initial heat level is always +1.

Turf: Whole Night City

20% chance, of their reinforcement call, to be much faster (8 seconds). Cooldown between calls is also smaller.

At higher Heat Level, some of their reinforcements, will arrive with AV (new in 1. 2)

Turf: Watson

Their reinforcements have 30% chance, to be much stronger (+5 heat level)

6th Street:

Turf: Santo Domingo

Heat raises twice as fast, on their turf.

Voodoo Boys:

Turf: Pacifica

Most of their reinforcements will consist of mercs, which won't be able to call reinforcements. Initial heat while on their turf is higher (+4 instead of +2).

Valentinos:

Turf: Heywood

Their initial heat from street creed is increased by 50%, but bounty is lowered

Their quality of reinforcements is much lower, but their back up is much more numerous than other gangs.

Tyger Claw:

Turf: Westbrook

Vengeful - their bounty raises 3x as fast.
