Have weapons that upgrade as you use them.
Give them special abilities like critical hit and such.

Bump

Something like skill proficiency would also be cool. Kill 500 players, you have chance for a double shot or something, some x factor.

oooooh like voodoo....500 kills makes your weapon fully charged on the next full moon :P

I’ve noticed things really plateau here. Would be nice if there were more ways to advance here at higher levels.

Ie. special equipment 👀

Maybe some criming boots or energy absorbing armor.

Thanks.

yahs special equipment would be nice make it an activity thing so you have to be active/grind for the special items whereas the rich players cant just buy em

The way I see it working is you have thresholds that need to be met.
For example:
Crime bonus sneakers -
level one - required level 25 - increased success rate of crimes by 5% / 2% speed bonus
Level two - required level 50 -10,000 crimes completed - increased success rate of crimes by 10%/ 2.2% speed bonus
Level three - required level 75 - 50,000 crimes completed

Well that was unfinished comment but yeah something like that..

Other types of equipment as well.

Other special perks ideas:
Increased SD
Increased item finds from SD
Faster energy/nerve refill
Life Drain
Steal Points/items on attacks
Critical attacks
Blocking attacks
Expanding max bank interest amount
More experience gained
