Doing a bit of merit chasing and im looking at the Drug and Computer crimes as i need to do less than any other crime for a merit/honour.
I currently do Hacking and when i fail and lose my 45 nb i do some arsons and im back up again but as i have all the merits/honours for fraud arsons are not counting towards anything.
For those that have done them, what drug crime and what plant virus is the most successful ?
I will be using the crime enhancers and was just wondering if any have more of a success rate than others?, i know there is going to be some reds in there for drugs and some browns like when i did stealths.
Simple Virus and transport cannabis seems the logical option as they are first on the list,just thought i would get some input before i start off doing them.

The last 9 nerve crime is the best one, me thinks... And the first 8 nerve crime is good, because if you fail you get hosped...
Oh nice info on the drug one.
Yeah stealths i used to get shit loads of browns,so you saying all the other virus crimes are worse than them?

Stealth virus have no reds, but a lot of browns.
You can do some simple virus for better greens rate but expect some reds time to time.

from what i recall over 50% of stealths were browns when i did them so maybe ill do the simple virus and accept the reds.
Stealth virus is the best simply because no red but it does gives a lot of browns after u do it a lot. The good way to do stealth is alternate it with other crimes and since u want to do drugs, that's a good combination. Gives a lot better green rate when u alternate it.

yeah i have always alternated crimes,either to stabalise NB while doing risky crimes or jus to use up nerve.
Have done quite a few cannabis crimes now with only one brown,will mix up with simple virus.
i have done around 400 drug crimes in row now and i have done only the 3rd transport one and i have gotten a red around every 50 or so and browns every 10 or so
and thats why i think that its the best one to do for merits
If I'm not mistaken someone in my faction did some tests with nerve 9 success rate and stealth was the best one even with all the browns, the difference was really close tough.

Just like Chloroform for Murder and Wind Proof Lighter for Arsons, there is an item that will have higher success rate for steath virus I guess... But I may be mistaken here.. Just I got confused..
And with drugs crime.. the third option worked best for me, 4th 5th and 6th was always a nightmare 1st option I did not try much... (idk on the first one)
The Ergonomic keyboard is a Special Item
This healthier alternative for standard keyboards greatly increases typing speed and lets you work for longer, more comfortably. It has been expertly crafted to allow you to work in a more natural position. Improves success rate for the Plant a computer virus crime.

Chloroform is for kidnapping
And yeah i have the ergonomic keyboard and advanced driving tactics crime enhancers
When I did my virus crimes, I did Stealth and got ~80% green rate, 20% brown rate. I got a keyboard half way through and did not notice a significant improvement. It may be worth doing one of the other virus crimes as a 5% (arbitrary guess, no idea as to the real rate) red rate may be better than a 20% brown rate in the long run.

It depends, what you want to achieve. Fast run for awards - use simple, crime exp (and slower progress for honors) - stay at stealth.

Yeah i would also say this.
I would also add it depends on nerve bar,when i was doing stealths to get nerve bar up they were easier,once you get your 45 back then go do them for merits they are harder
I think its because you should be doing harder crimes so it gives more browns as a signal to say move on mate

Are you sure transport cannabis is only hosp reds? I heard all drug crimes are crime exp killers...
Stealth one is a good crime when I tried others I got red so better a brown then a red.
And cannabis is good one.
Itsy Bitsi Bikini(IBB) is recruiting.
We need chainers with atleast 250mil BS and we are leniant if you are very active in wars and loyal to faction members. So if you think you are good enough then join us.
Conditions apply.
Simple Virus are much easier than stealth (I've just come off those)
Also, crime enhancers allegedly only work if you are not able to do the crime, but have close enough exp to almost hit it, then the crime enhancer will let you carry on.
