CrimeCraft creates a world dominated by conflict, where few entities are more powerful or more important than weapon manufacturing firms. The demand is kept extraordinarily high, as one gang attempts to overwhelm the others with sheer firepower; the others respond by buying their own stock of weapons, then the other side retaliates…it becomes an unending cycle of buy-shoot-buy. To feed this malicious cycle, we’ve created several firms that stand above all other sellers in terms of high product quality and market share, making them your in-game global resource for all things violent.
Currently, CrimeCraft sports eight of these weapons manufacturing companies, each of which could care less about the strife they help fuel; all that matters are the dollars that roll in, and that strife helps it gush in an unending flood. Competition is as fierce as it is among the gangs that wield their wares. What follows over the next several entries is a summary of these powerhouses.
Hargan Corporation
Hargan Corporation is one of the youngest of the major weapon companies, having only come into existence in the last ten years. The brainchild of retired Army Ranger, Col. Jackson Hargan, and his team of dedicated ex-military professionals, Hargan Corporation is focused on producing the best quality military-oriented hardware in the world. Their rocket launchers, shotguns and LMGs are nearly unsurpassed, and their development is focused on getting the most reliable and powerful weapons in the hands of those who need them.
The origins of Hargan Corporation are grounded in Col. Hargan’s extensive military experience. During his decades-long service in the Army, Col. Hargan’s status as a member of the Army Rangers saw him fighting in some of the worst places in the world with some of the most destructive firepower at his side. His career saw him fighting in South America, in Asia and in Europe.
It was during fighting in a campaign against insurgent forces in Mexico that he first became interested in creating bigger, better and more reliable hardware for use by the world’s military and corporate security forces. With his Ranger team under heavy fire from enemy forces, the Colonel ordered a rocket team to take out an emplacement. Unfortunately, the rocket launcher carried by his team had been slightly damaged in the gunfight, and this slight damage to a minor component caused wild inaccuracies in the firing of the weapon.
By the time his rocket team was able to compensate for the misfiring weapon, his team had lost two men. Losing men under such circumstances infuriated Col. Hargan, to the point that he demanded an investigation into the weapon’s design. In the course of this investigation, he discovered that the addition of another minor layer of armor plating, which would cost the manufacturer less than $1.00 per unit, would have entirely protected the rocket launcher’s balance and targeting system.
This investigation led to Col. Hargan demanding that the government pursue charges against the manufacturer for negligence, but this demand was refused. Nearing an opportunity to retire, Col. Hargan took it, deciding that if his government wouldn’t put this company out of business, he would. Using his extensive contacts throughout the world, Col. Hargan quickly built up a group of the best military minds and designers in the world, and set his sights on the enemy: Steelband Technologies. Within 10 years, Col. Hargan’s determination and military focus not only led to the elimination of Steelband as a company, but also to the rise of the corporation which shares his name to be among the most powerful of manufacturers.
R-Sys LLC
A scientific company that made its way into weapon manufacturing in an effort to minimize collateral damage caused by poor weapon design, R-Sys has been at the forefront of the weapons industry for twenty-five years. Founded by the current CEO’s mentor, Dr. Alasdair Thompson, R-Sys was hired in its early days by the US government to figure out a way to properly deliver new technology systems for use on the battlefield. From healing nanotechnology to advanced sonic suppression systems, R-Sys’ job was to solve the problems which kept these technologies from the battlefield. This research dovetailed well with efforts to mitigate the extreme damage done by inefficient weapon design or faulty training which Dr. Thompson had been spearheading at his own firm. He was particularly interested in researching and improving upon the highly inefficient grenade launcher systems that were typically only used as attachments to other weapons.
This interest eventually led to the establishment of a weapons division. Over five years, R-Sys worked to develop an effective prototype of a grenade launcher which could more effectively deliver the payload to its target with greater range and precision. This weapon system also delivered more focused damage and reduced the chances of charges going awry and injuring bystanders. Ostensibly, R-Sys had created the most advanced grenade launcher in the world. However, their clients in the US military, did not share their exuberance. In their opinion, the weapon was too efficient, its numerous protective features a drawback to a weapon whose purpose should be to wreak havoc.
Undaunted, R-Sys was at this time powerful enough to assert control over the technology. They made their weapon system available to other clients and security forces, and were pleasantly surprised by the response. The overwhelming success of their initial foray into weapon design led to an increased demand that they apply their expertise to other systems. Over time, they have developed improved versions of the standard Pistol and SMG. To this day, R-Sys maintains the ideals of its founder, and under the leadership of his protégé, Dr. Steven MacIntyre, they continue to look for ways to improve and expand their services
We’ve already described to you two of the biggest powerhouses in the game, responsible for some of the most powerful Pistols, Submachine Guns, Shotguns, Rocket Launchers, Light Machine Guns, and Grenade Launchers…all of which are capable of delivering massive amounts of body-shredding firepower in the blink of your eye. And that’s just the first two companies! Keep an eye on this blog as we continue to release new information on the rest of this murderous menagerie of manufacturing moguls…
