Interval time between Reclamation Attempts

[DrNefarious97]

Is there a consistent time cycle for when enemy gangs seek to reclaim territory and can a time speed cheat cause for the staging of these attempts to be sooner or later? I'm interested in doing the territory glitch, but not waiting for when an enemy gang decides to reclaim territory.

No, the time between gang attacks is a random value between about 10.5 and 27 minutes. IIRC, this timer counts down much more slowly when CJ is not in Los Santos. Some activities such as missions, active gang wars and flying an aircraft (maybe) will pause the timer. The next attack timer gets reset to a minimum of 30 seconds while in an interior, on a mission, or during a war. My memory is a bit fuzzy on the details but you should be able to dig up more info in the Mastermind Glitch investigation topic.

I don't remember if we tested the time speed cheat. I would expect it to work. The next attack value is saved, so run some tests and reload for comparison.

Memory addresses and save file offsets are documented for the next attack timer if you wanted to display or manipulate the values by hex editing or with cleo scripts.

Thank you for this. Very informative.
