Player Roles

DopeRaider does not lock you into a class. Your role is what your choices say about you.

The street rewards players who can switch roles when the market changes.

Producer

Producers create supply. They buy SEEDS and EXPLOITS, then convert them into WEED and DIRT through timed production jobs.

Good producers watch:

• input costs in each district

• active production timers

• remaining carry capacity

• Grow Power and Mining Power windows

• whether their home district is safe enough to operate from

Producer mindset: control the source before the market gets hungry.

Trader

Traders move product. They read district prices, buy low, travel, and sell where demand pays better.

Good traders watch:

• buy price versus sell price

• travel costs

• bust risk

• raid exposure while carrying

• which districts are connected by normal travel

• when Fast Travel is worth the fee

Trader mindset: margin is the game, but margin dies when you ignore risk.

Raider

Raiders hunt. They target players in the same district, pick a weapon strategy, and try to take product, USDC stake, and Respect.

Good raiders watch:

• target inventory

• target protection

• weapon matchups

• Raid Tie Breaker tiers

• their own carry capacity

• retaliation risk

Raider mindset: the best hit is the one your target thought was impossible.

Boss

Bosses are district-level power. The player with the highest Respect in a home district can become that district's boss and collect boss tax on market activity there.

Boss mindset: Respect is not just status. It can become revenue.

Hybrid Play

The strongest players combine roles:

• produce cheap inventory at home

• trade into stronger markets

• raid when rivals expose themselves

• use upgrades to create timed advantage windows

• build Respect to compete for boss status

Pure specialists can win short bursts. Hybrid players survive longer.
