Overview

While the feature is currently in the BETA stages, players can only access Crew Battles by using a special code provided by the Badimo team via Twitter. Players would need to enter the code into the ATM in order to gain access. As of right now, approximately 30,000 players have access to the "Crew Battles" feature.

When starting a Crew, players will need to use one of the special ATM codes from Twitter. Once players have activated the crews, they can then create a crew, which allows them to choose a crew name and crew color. The colors vary from blue, green, yellow, orange, red, purple, pink and black. Once they have created a crew, they can invite other players to join.

To join a crew, other players will also need to have crews activated for themselves.

In order to start matchmaking, players will require at least 3 players in their crew, as well as currently active in-game. When 3 players are active and ready, the owner of the crew can select the "Enter Matchmaking" button and they will receive a request to battle another crew. They will then be teleported to another server where the crew battle will happen. Crew owners can select "Leave Matchmaking" to stop attempting to start a battle.

Upon completion of matchmaking, players can begin battling.

When both crews are teleported into the server, the server will activate a countdown until the battle begins. One team will then be selected to start as Police, the other as Criminals. Instead of starting off in the Prison and escaping, players on the criminal team are automatically spawned in either the Volcano Criminal Base or the Rising City Criminal Base with a Keycard and a Pistol. Police officers will start at any of the default Police spawn locations with the default police load-out, which features a Pistol, Handcuffs, a Taser and Road Spikes.

When the countdown reaches 0, a timer counting up will begin. The objective for the criminals is to rob 3 of any of the 5 robberies that appear as the robbable locations in that crew battle. The following are the robberies that can appear as one of the 5 robberies you can rob: (Cargo Ship, Cargo Train, Cargo Plane, Casino, Jewelry Store, Power Plant, Rising City Bank, Crater City Bank, Tomb). The timer will stop as soon as 3 of the locations have been robbed. Police have the objective of preventing the criminal team from completing their goal by any means possible. Arresting a criminal will add a +40 second penalty to the criminal team's timer, while killing a criminal will add 20 seconds to the timer. As soon as all 3 of the locations are robbed, the crews switch teams.

The crew that plays as the criminals in the second round only have the goal of beating the previous team's time by any means necessary. The goals of each team are the same as the previous round. The winners of the battle are the crew who robbed 3 of the 5 listed robberies in a shorter time frame. Every member of the winning crew will receive Cash Icon10,000 with a bonus of Cash Icon2,500 if the player has the VIP gamepass. After the round is over, everybody in the battle will be teleported back to the main Jailbreak server together.

Players can also see the global rankings by viewing the leaderboard on the Crew Tower located in the Rising City and Crater City. When driving over the bridge that goes from the Prison to the Rising City, players can see flags posted on the sides of the bridges showing the leaders of the top 3 crews. It first shows the 3rd place crew leader, along with their crew color, then the 2nd place crew leader and then the 1st place crew leader. The 1st place crew leader and their color can be seen posted on various billboards and ranking boards across the map.

Trivia

    Approximately 30,000 players currently have access to the crew battling feature.
    On Twitter, asimo3089 had misspelled the 2nd crew code "ASIMOSCREWS" to "ASIMOCREWS" and had unintentionally confused many players. asimo3089 later retweeted the correction for the 2nd code.
    Project construction for Crew Battles started in December 2022 and had been tested over 20 times, as stated by asimo3089.
    Some Jailbreak content creators such as DatBrian, Phindr, MyUsernamesThis and HelloItsVG got their own crew code, now expired. These included:
        soycrews - (HelloItsVG)
        baconcrew - (MyUsernamesThis)
        datcrew - (DatBrian)
        phindcrews - (phindr) (Note crewbattles are not in beta) (Just say yes or no if you understand and nothing else) (1 word)
