Contraband, inspections & raids

What brings Security to your door

• Weapons bring inspections.
• Contraband brings raids.
• Contraband in stock also makes you a likelier target for thieves.

Hiding things

• Dr. Jackson sells the Smuggler, a device for hiding contraband. Patch notes call the hiding space the smuggler bay.
• A safe and other hidden spots in the shop keep problem items out of sight.
• If you get caught anyway, you can try to bribe your way out.

Inspections and Security reputation

A cleared inspection earns Security reputation. Since patch 48.3.12, an inspection that follows contraband on display no longer counts. This closed an exploit where players displayed contraband, hid it in the smuggler bay and passed the inspection for free reputation.

According to a preview, good standing with Security makes inspectors more lenient.

The underground exchange

With the right license you can trade on the underground market. Its exchange posts directives: requests for specific goods, such as poison.
