War Balance

The world of Department 77 is ever-changing, and is partially impacted by how the players act in the game.

Bounty missions all come with a positive or negative impact to the war balance. If a bounty mission fails, the war meter is impacted negatively, and if a bounty mission succeeds the war meter is impacted positively.

Keep the solar system in balance

In the above example, the war balance is currently 69.6% in favour of Black Ocean (the company you work for in Department 77). Because of this, bounties pay out 10% more than the baseline, and crime rates are down 5%. Life is good!

But if the meter would go below 50%, bounties would pay out 10% less than the baseline. And if the meter goes below 15% some services would start shutting down.
