Imagine you were left alone in a game world where everyone can try to kill you. Not everyone will want to be your friend, they will want to end your life and take what’s yours. For many players who play games like GTA Online, the best choice is joining up with people that are willing to protect you, even if they’re strangers. I mean, imagine a stranger shot you in the back while you were simply trying to make some cash. You wouldn’t join them again would you? Now, what if that person was from your gang? You would join them again, or at least avenge your fallen comrade.

Well, you’re going to have a lot of trouble since players from your gang will not help you. When you’re in a gang, it’s 30% cheaper to request backup and if one of your fellow gang members happens to die while fighting against another player, the other player is going to lose money.

Gang members earn more cash and RP (reputation points). They also get access to discounted vehicles and weapons from their own unique contact which is usually the leader of the gang. Joining a gang can be beneficial in both ways, either you’re getting paid more or players are going to lose money if they kill you.
