Server Suggestion Add more to bank raids other than stolen money

[Steve Phromkraft]

Suggestion Title: Add more to bank raids other than stolen money
Suggestion Description: When stealing from the bank, you have a chance to steal extra loot such as diamonds, paintings, gold bars etc that you can either keep as a somewhat criminal only rare (To counter rares found through fishing alone) or sell to the drug dealer (possibly a new NPC?).
The items you steal should be able to be placed down and used as a normal prop.
As for the props themselves, I was thinking;
- Diamonds (I've been told these already exist and only 2 people have them? I do not know if this is true)
- Paintings, different ones holding a different value. These could be new artwork tailored for Paralake or parodies of already existing famous paintings
- Statues, no real idea of what statues would exist to not clash against the holiday statues.

Why should this be added?:
-  Enhances the criminal element whilst not being combat focused
- Adds more risk to bank raids as you aren't just worrying about money anymore.
- New ways to trade between players who may want to collect all the valuables
- A new way for orgs to flex outside of the org exp metric.

What negatives could this have?:
- More bank raids a day to try and get rare items, making using the bank harder and makes PD players respond to more shootouts
- A new money maker without any real money sinks to counter

What problem would this suggestion solve?: It doesn't really solve any issue just adds a new element to an already existing criminal activity and furthers the chances of roleplay from the bank raid. There is a demand for a crim update and this could be a step in the right direction.

Add new optimal meth ingredients that you can only steal from the bank vault

It would be nice to see a heist where people would actually be forced to role-play, I.E take a hostage, attempting to escape using a vehicle, and allowing the police to set-up spike strips and be in a high-speed pursuit (good for RTU!), this could be one of them, sadly there would have to be some guidelines and rules set for this as in PERP mostly people just want to shoot, and the current map does allow for some very nice pursuits and escape plans, I.E setting up a swap vehicle, literally every other roleplay game/server has this, except from PERP, where this is continuesly discouraged and it never gets added, having a harsh enforcement on this for a few months would DEFINETILY help, and solve this issue.

Another heist would for sure be a benefit, and could be great fun for police, and criminals.

What is this scarface mansion lmao

I would like this tho, at the day doing bank raids the risk reward is not worth it, i remember we always said bank raids are pointless we only did it for the joke / PvP.

I don’t think this could add more for passive RP but it would be in my opinion a decent QoL improvement (plus give me more payday vibes)

I must admit I really like this idea, I feel like it just feels repetitive fighting continuously at bank raids just for either 30k stolen money or 5mil.

I think it would be difficult adding rare items to it, but you could always counter it with “dropping it off” at a dealer and picking it up instead of having money transferred.

perp has been needing something to encourage more PVP, and I think finding new ideas for bankraids could push that.

(Now all we need is some new drug aspects and cool money making methods when basing to get players basing again!!)
