Combat

Who can hurt who, guns, and the safe zones.

Who can hurt who

Guard Criminal Inmate
Guard No Yes Only while they’re escaping, or in a riot
Criminal Yes No direct damage No
Inmate Only in a riot No No

Criminals can’t hit each other directly, but there are other ways to get ahead: traps, tipping off the guards, and sabotage.

Guns

Pistols, shotguns and rifles, bought with cash. They work the same on Java and Bedrock. Ammo costs money too.

Dying

A criminal killed by a guard counts as arrested: back to prison, and the guard collects the bounty.

Safe zones

No fighting in the police station, the criminal hideouts, or the cell blocks outside a riot.
