Roosters and the Pit
Find an egg, hatch a fighter, and take it to the Pit.
Roosters are new in Season 4, from 1 November 2026. Eggs turn up while you play: in crimes, car thefts, crew jobs, at the nightclubs, in Jail and in the Hospital. Heat an egg in your incubator in the Coop, open it, and a rooster hatches. Each rooster has four stats: Power, Grit, Instinct, Swagger. Roosters fight in the Pit, in The Boneyard, and your companion goes on runs that bring loot home.
Eggs and the incubator
Your tray holds 5 eggs per level. When it is full, new eggs are lost, so open, sell or eat what you have. Put an egg in an incubator slot and some cash in the incubator: it costs $500 × level × level per hour, and only one egg heats at a time. You can hold at most 48 hours of cash. More slots cost cash too.
Crimes find eggs most often: up to 5 a day. A crime egg is Brown 70% of the time. Two rare kinds hide among them: the Cursed egg hatches El Diablo, and the Smuggled egg hatches the all-black Cemani. Once a season, one player finds The Imperial egg.
Growing up
A rooster is a Chick for its first day and cannot fight. It is a Cockerel until day 3, Prime until day 14, then a Veteran: it loses 1% of its stats a day but gets luck on runs. From day 21 it is Retired and only breeds, shows off and fights in gang wars.
Train a rooster at Hector's gym: +4 to one stat, once every 6 hours, never above its maximum. A fight takes health, and a rooster heals to full in 6 hours. Only a rooster at full health can fight or go on a run.
The companion and runs
Pick one rooster as your companion. Some traits help you while it is your companion: a Lookout helps you escape from jail, a Watch-bird guards you against sabotage, an Intimidator and a Guardian help in beatings, and an Egg Hunter finds more eggs.
Only the companion goes on runs: 1, 4 or 8 hours in a district. It comes back with that district's loot, and sometimes an egg. A run into a district your gang holds pays more; a district held by another gang takes a cut. A bad run can end with the rooster hurt, or impounded by animal control for 4 hours.
Hector's Circuit
Hector keeps 12 roosters of his own. Beat them in order: each step pays once a season, $1,300,000 in all. You can fight the Circuit every 30 minutes, and a Cockerel can try the first 3 steps.
Fight lobbies
Fights between players work like race lobbies. Open one, or join one, with a rooster at full health and a style: Aggressive, Balanced or Defensive. Modes: Training, Cash pot, $CRIME pot, Pink Feather. In a cash or $CRIME pot the winner takes 90%. In Pink Feather the winner takes the loser's rooster. Every fight can be watched again, blow by blow.
The Derby
Seven Derbies a season, with finals at 14:00 UTC on the 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24th. Sign up a team of 3 Prime or Veteran roosters by 14:00 the day before. The Rookie league (Rare or lower) costs $25,000; the Open league costs $250,000. Up to 16 teams play, best of three, a round every 6 hours. The winner takes 50% of all the entry money, and a Derby Champion badge.
Gang Pit Wars
The leader or the heir of a gang opens a war lobby against another gang. 5 members put in one rooster each, then START. The other gang cannot refuse: it has 24 hours to put in up to 5 defenders. The fights run 5 minutes apart, and the winner of each fight stays on with the health it has left. The losing gang gives 2% of its gang points to the winner. No war can start after the 24th.
Breeding and the market
Two of your roosters, Prime or older, can breed once in their lives. They are busy for 8 hours, and then the egg is in your tray. The chick gets its stats, traits and breed from its parents, with some luck.
Eggs and roosters can be sold on the Flea Market for cash or $CRIME. While it is for sale, you cannot use it. Watch out for the Chicken Thief: a Sabotage job that steals one egg from a tray. Eggs in the incubator are safe.
How do I get my first rooster?
Hector gives every new player a Speckled egg in the Coop as part of the first jobs. It hatches at once.
Can I lose a rooster in a fight?
Only in a Pink Feather fight, where the winner takes the loser's rooster. In other fights it only loses health, and heals over time.
Do roosters stay after the season?
No. Eggs and roosters belong to one season. The Derby Champion, Rookie Champion and Pit Boss badges stay on your profile.
