The four gang perks (Beacon Radar, Token Vein, Fortune Pact and War Chest) with the beacon totals that unlock each level, the bonus at every level and how War Chest is activated.
Gang perks are bonuses that apply to every member of a gang while they mine. Three perks are permanent upgrades that grow with the gang's beacon total, and one perk, War Chest, is switched on for a limited time. Nothing is bought: a level unlocks on its own as soon as the gang's beacon total reaches its threshold.
The gang's beacon total is the sum of the beacons its members hold. The thresholds below are totals for the whole gang, not costs.
Levels unlock automatically, usually within seconds of the total reaching the threshold, and the gang is told "Your gang's beacons unlocked perk level n!".
Unlocked levels stay unlocked even if the total later drops, for example when a member leaves.
Open the perk menu with /gang perks (alias /gang upgrades) or the Gang Perks button in Your Gang. Each row shows the perk's level, its current bonus, the gang's beacon total and the total needed for the next level.
To use it, open the perk menu and click War Chest when it says "Click to activate!". Everyone in the gang is told who activated it. While it runs, the row shows the time left. Afterwards the row shows the remaining cooldown. The boost belongs to the gang, so every member who is mining benefits, whether or not they were online when it started. A running boost and its cooldown survive restarts and reconnecting.
Message
Meaning
That perk is already running.
War Chest is still active.
That perk is still on cooldown.
The 6 hour cooldown has not finished.
Your gang has not unlocked that perk yet. Gather more beacons!
Levels of the permanent perks for the same reward add together, and a running War Chest adds its +100% on top. Perks never multiply each other.
The combined gang bonus then multiplies your normal earnings. For example, with Token Vein level 5 (+25%) and War Chest running (+100%), the gang bonus on tokens is +125%, so each token payout is 2.25 times as large before other bonuses.
Every member of a gang gets the bonus on their own mining, wherever they mine in the Prison mines.
The total beacons needed to max everything except War Chest are 232,500 for Beacon Radar and 155,000 each for Token Vein and Fortune Pact, so a gang that holds 232,500 beacons has every level unlocked.
