Capturable Rebel Hideouts

How to capture a hideout and which services ownership unlocks.

Capturable Rebel Hideouts

The two capturable Rebel Hideouts are separate from normal Rebel Outposts. At a normal outpost, the licence store is available directly. At a capturable hideout, the shops remain locked until your group controls its flag.

Before capturing

  • Play as a civilian.
  • Join or create a group.
  • Locate the Capture Hideout interaction on the flag.
  • Read the current capture and initiation rules.
  • Clear the immediate flag area and prepare to remain close to it.

Capture process

  • Use Capture Hideout on the flag.
  • If another group owns it, confirm that you want to take over their area.
  • Only one player can operate the flag capture at a time.
  • Remain within five meters of the flag throughout the progress action.
  • Moving too far away cancels the attempt.
  • Taking a hideout from an existing owner progresses more slowly than capturing an unowned hideout.

The capture action uses a 180-second base duration. The mission then applies a slower progress rate when another group already owns the location.

Ownership benefits

The controlling group gains access at that hideout to:

  • Rebel Market
  • Rebel Clothing Shop
  • Rebel Equipment Shop
  • Cashpoint
  • Rebel vehicle dealership
  • Car and air garages
  • Car and air vehicle storage

Required licenses

  • Rebel License — $250,000

Owning the hideout unlocks its interactions, but it does not replace the appropriate Rebel license for equipment, clothing or vehicles.

If the shops do not appear

  • Confirm your group owns the correct hideout flag.
  • Confirm you are still in the same civilian group.
  • Check that you own Basic Rebel or Advanced Rebel as required.
  • Make sure you are using the stores belonging to the captured hideout, not the other hideout.
  • Reconnect if group data failed to refresh after a server-side change.
