The team selection GUI.
Teams are a form of player categorization, with each team yielding different perks and having unique objectives.
Overview[]
Most teams are selected upon joining a server, and teams may be changed in-game by clicking "Teams" on their in-game Phone. Although Mad City has five teams, only three teams can be joined immediately after you enter a game. Those teams include, Police, Hero, and Prisoner. The Criminal and Villain team must be joined by doing some sort of work. To join the Criminal team, you must escape Prison. To join the Villain team, you must kill a Hero, which has a chance of dropping a Power Crystal, which you must grab and become a Villain.
The five teams in Mad City are listed below:
Team Icon | Team Name | Objective | Starting Items | Team Color | Spawn Location |
---|---|---|---|---|---|

Prisoner | Escape from Prison or participate in the various jobs. | Empty-handed | Orange | Prison |
