Protect the VIP

Overview

Protect the VIP is a gang event where one player from any gang is selected as the VIP. All other gangs then have 15 minutes to kill the VIP at any cost.
During Protect the VIP, all attacking players do not need to follow NLR. Defender's NLR however still applies.

Defending

When a player from your gang is chosen as the VIP, a message in chat will appear 3 minutes before all other gangs are notified.
The VIP may be protected behind a tough base, so get down your best dupe! (cit. needed)
If Defending players die, you may not return to your base, even if your NLR is over.
All regular defending rules still apply, such as not being able to use a crossbow or minigun while defending.

After 15 minutes, your gang (the defending gang) will accrue 1 gang credit. (cit. needed)

Attacking

When a player from another gang is chosen as the VIP, they will be given 3 minutes before you are told who it is. Once this 3 minutes is up, both a chat message and an announcement at the top of your screen will appear.

• The VIP will be visible to all attackers via a small coloured square above their head so you can see them at all times, even through walls!

The VIP may be protected behind a tough base, so get those keypad crackers, hack phones and lockpicks ready! (cit. needed)
If attacking players die, you may return your base. NLR does not apply to attackers during Protect the VIP.
All regular attacking rules still apply, such as building during a raid or camping for over 15 minutes after getting inside.

Once your gang kills the VIP, your gang will accrue 1 gang credit. (cit. needed)
