HEAT
(Story LARP)
At Story LARP events, HEAT identifies characters as notorious in the criminal underworld, and is represented by an orange band on the arm or leg. Each band represents their current HEAT Rank. Players unlock more jobs and higher payouts the more HEAT Ranks they accumulate, however HEAT bands also flags that player as a target for active Bounty Hunter's Guild members.
Generating Heat
Players will generate 1 HEAT band after successfully completing NPC assigned criminal activities, such as smuggling, burglaring, piracy, unauthorized slicing and assassinations.
When Imperial or Perla Characters with their kill sash displayed during bleedout are eliminated via touch, they administer 1 HEAT band on the character that has done so, the Imperial must apply the HEAT band in a timely manner
Imperial and Perla Officers may administer one or multiple bands on targets if they are caught, put in bleedout or eliminated while committing an Illegal activity. Various NPC characters may also administer HEAT bands on targets that they have witnessed committing Illegal activities.
If a player obtains the maximum of 4 HEAT bands (one on each limb) there is a chance a Bounty tracking FOB will be placed on that player. If a fob is placed their HEAT bands are removed and they may only be brought in by a Bounty Hunter with their tracking remote. While the player has a FOB they remain at HEAT rank 4.
