Rent your first base plot

Find an unoccupied plot inside a settlement with an owner, then pay the rent at the sign beside the plot. A settlement must have an owner before you can establish a base there.

Check the district before paying

Plots in level 2 and level 3 districts need special paperwork obtained from the Black Market. Check those requirements in-game before choosing where to settle.

This guide does not quote a fixed rent, document price or building cost. Confirm the current amounts at the plot and market before committing your funds.

Plan the rest of the cycle

If your goal is protecting earnings, review bank accounts and laundering as you plan the base. Plots and bases are among the assets affected by the Federal Raid.
