💰 Rackets & Underbosses

Building the empire — and the mutually exclusive choices that decide your playthroughs.

Sure Thing, Boss

BronzeFull guideCollapse

Unlocked all Associates

GradeBronze
MissableNo
Rarity36.33%

How to earn it

Unlock all Associates. Associates are the support operators (weapons delivery, car delivery, arms dealer, etc.) unlocked by assigning district rackets to your underbosses. Assign enough territory that every associate service is unlocked.

Tip

Spread rackets across all three underbosses (Cassandra, Burke, Vito) so each unlocks their associate perks.

IRA Don't Ask

BronzeMissableFull guideCollapse

Completed all of Burke's side-missions

GradeBronze
MissableYes
Rarity13.82%

How to earn it

Complete all of Burke's side-missions.

Tip

⚠️ Missable: an underboss's side-missions become unavailable if that underboss dies or leaves. Do all three underbosses' side jobs before the endgame, and keep them all alive on the run where you're collecting these.

I Need a Favor

BronzeMissableFull guideCollapse

Completed all of Vito's side-missions

GradeBronze
MissableYes
Rarity18.74%

How to earn it

Complete all of Vito's side-missions.

Tip

⚠️ Same rule as Burke's — clear these before the story locks the underbosses in.

.45 in My Hand

BronzeMissableFull guideCollapse

Completed all of Cassandra's side-missions

GradeBronze
MissableYes
Rarity15.1%

How to earn it

Complete all of Cassandra's side-missions.

Tip

⚠️ Same rule again. The cleanest approach is to finish all three sets of side-missions on your first playthrough, where you're keeping everyone alive.

Cash in Hand

BronzeFull guideCollapse

Saved $150,000 between your wallet and the bank

GradeBronze
MissableNo
Rarity20.1%

How to earn it

Hold $150,000 across your wallet and the bank. Racket kickbacks pay out regularly once you control territory; let the money accumulate rather than spending it until your combined balance passes $150k.

Tip

Kickbacks arrive automatically over time — take over more rackets and simply wait, collecting the earnings.

Baby, You're a Rich Man

BronzeFull guideCollapse

Earned $500,000

GradeBronze
MissableNo
Rarity17.45%

How to earn it

Earn $500,000 total. A lifetime-earnings tracker, not a balance — it counts every dollar you ever make from rackets, jobs and loot. Comes naturally over a full playthrough of expanding your empire.

Tip

Cumulative and unmissable across the story; controlling more districts speeds it up.

Racketeer

BronzeFull guideCollapse

Got the maximum earn from one of your Rackets

GradeBronze
MissableNo
Rarity39.71%

How to earn it

Hit the maximum earn from a single Racket. Each racket has an income cap; fully develop one racket (take it over and let it run at peak) to reach its maximum earn rate.

Tip

Focus on a high-value racket and keep its district under your control — the earn climbs to the cap on its own.

We're in This Together

BronzeMissableFull guideCollapse

Kept all Underbosses alive until "Yet Here We Are"

GradeBronze
MissableYes
Rarity24.42%

How to earn it

Keep all three underbosses alive right through to Yet Here We Are.

Tip

⚠️ Mutually exclusive with Just You and Me — this is why the platinum needs two playthroughs. Keep the underbosses happy by distributing districts fairly so none of them turns on you, and don't kill any of them.

Just You and Me

BronzeMissableFull guideCollapse

Kept only one Underboss alive until "Yet Here We Are"

GradeBronze
MissableYes
Rarity6.02%

How to earn it

Reach Yet Here We Are with only one underboss still alive.

Tip

⚠️ Mutually exclusive with We're in This Together. Do this on your second run: deliberately anger or kill two of the three so a single underboss remains at the climax.

Trust

BronzeFull guideCollapse

Reached the Loyal state with one Underboss

GradeBronze
MissableNo
Rarity24.23%

How to earn it

Reach the Loyal state with one Underboss. Underbosses (Cassandra, Burke, Vito) grow more loyal as you assign them rackets and side with them in decisions. Favour one consistently to reach Loyal.

Tip

Assign each newly-cleared racket to the same underboss and back them when the game asks you to choose.

Family

BronzeMissableFull guideCollapse

Reached the Loyal state with all three Underbosses

GradeBronze
MissableYes
Rarity10.57%

How to earn it

Reach the Loyal state with all three underbosses simultaneously.

Tip

⚠️ Missable, and it pairs with We're in This Together — do both on the same 'keep everyone happy' playthrough. Split the districts evenly so nobody feels short-changed.

Hole in Your Pocket

BronzeFull guideCollapse

Spent at least $500,000

GradeBronze
MissableNo
Rarity12.88%

How to earn it

Spend at least $500,000. A lifetime-spending tracker — buy weapons, ammo, car deliveries, upgrades and Grow House investments. It adds up over the game.

Tip

Pair with the Grow House upgrades and constant weapon/car deliveries to burn through cash faster.

Big Earner

BronzeMissableFull guideCollapse

Received $10,000 in earn from one Underboss

GradeBronze
MissableYes
Rarity7.24%

How to earn it

Receive $10,000 in earn from a single underboss in one payout.

Tip

⚠️ Missable — you need an underboss alive and running enough high-value rackets to generate that payout, so do it before the endgame.

The New Boss

BronzeMissableFull guideCollapse

Flipped 16 Racket Bosses

GradeBronze
MissableYes
Rarity6.3%

How to earn it

Flip 16 Racket Bosses — spare them and recruit them rather than killing them.

Tip

⚠️ Missable and directly opposed to No Loose Ends (kill them all). You can't do both on one save, so pick one per playthrough: flip on run one, kill on run two.

Live Another Day

BronzeMissableFull guideCollapse

Recruited 15 Racket Informants

GradeBronze
MissableYes
Rarity20.02%

How to earn it

Recruit 15 Racket Informants — spare informants when interrogating them.

Tip

⚠️ Missable and paired against Can't Trust a Rat (kill 15). Recruit on one run, kill on the other.

No Loose Ends

BronzeMissableFull guideCollapse

Killed all of the Racket Bosses

GradeBronze
MissableYes
Rarity6.06%

How to earn it

Kill all of the Racket Bosses instead of flipping them.

Tip

⚠️ Missable. The mirror of The New Boss — do this on your second playthrough.

Can't Trust a Rat

BronzeMissableFull guideCollapse

Killed 15 Racket Informants

GradeBronze
MissableYes
Rarity6.98%

How to earn it

Kill 15 Racket Informants rather than recruiting them.

Tip

⚠️ Missable. The mirror of Live Another Day. Note there are a limited number of informants, so decide your approach before you start clearing rackets.
