Contracts

For the removed Missions, see Missions.

Contracts are a feature in Jailbreak added in the 2020 Winter Update to replace Missions to earn XP, level up, and gain prizes in Seasons.

Overview[]

To start a contract, players needed to either press the "MORE INFO" button next to the level bar, press the "Contracts" icon on the left side of their screen, go to the contracts board located in the Prison near the police station or go inside the Season Hypezone's cylindrical barrier. A list of available contracts will be shown; rewards progress can be seen by pressing the "REWARDS PROGRESS" button on the bottom-right corner of the GUI.

Players used to need to click on the accept icon to begin it, and they can only accept one per team at a time. If the player tried to accept another mission, they would have to abort their current contract. Once the contract has been aborted, players will have to wait 3 minutes before they have the option to accept it again. This was changed in Season 6: Race to the Top, when all contracts can be accepted at once, enabling players to do multiple contracts. However the third contract on both teams needs to be accepted once you obtain the season pass.

Prior to Season 17, players could complete up to 8 contracts per day without the Season Pass and up to 12 with it; players will have to refresh their contracts early in the day, complete them, then refresh them 16 hours later and complete that set. From season 17 the contracts now reset weekly.

Depending on the Contract, completing one will give 20-40 XP, and completing enough will allow the player to level up, which will be shown at the top of their screen. The amount of XP one can obtain from a single set of contracts varies from 90XP-130XP, with the Season Pass 155XP-180XP. Contracts can be failed; an example is a player dying while completing a task requiring not to die. Once a contract has been failed, players used to have to wait 3 minutes before they have the option to accept it again but now only have to wait for 3-5 seconds.

A set of contracts will remain for 16 hours after the player first joins the game after the last set expires, giving them time to finish. This can allow players to complete four contracts every day (without Season Pass) or six contracts per day (with Season Pass).

In Season 11: Toys and Collectibles contract re-rolling was added, giving the player a random contract. A re-roll costs 25,000 (previously 15,000) and can be performed up to 3 times per team.

In Season 17: Exploring Europe, all of the existing contracts were changed as part of the season revamp. They also became the same for everyone and reset every Monday at 1PM EST.^[1] ^[2]

List of Contracts[]

Below is a list of all contracts currently in the game. Contracts that allow progress will save throughout servers. Contracts that allow progress can be aborted (by clicking the red button) with their progress saved, but when failed (such as due to death), progress is reset. Contracts with a randomized number will change upon joining a new server.

For Criminal Contracts that require players to rob a heist, they must first receive the money for it (by delivering the loot to their collection sites, if applicable) to progress/complete it.

Current Contracts[]

In Season 17, the contract system was overhauled. Contracts were made weekly and their xp gains were increased.

Tips and Tricks[]

When completing the 2,000 bounty contract quickly, players may choose not to fully rob heists, as this will allow them to turn in their money quicker, allowing them to reach the 2,000 bounty quicker.
- For obtaining a 2,000 cash bounty, the game only considers the player's current bounty amount. If they accept the contract when their bounty is already over 2,000, rob another heist or kill a police officer to complete the contract.
  - If players have the contract to rob a train or rob the Museum without dying, it is recommended to do those first before completing this contract.
For breaking a criminal out of handcuffs, the player can either get another criminal to come with you and get them arrested or get a friend or alternate account to arrest a criminal for the player to break them out.
- When doing the former, make sure no other police officers are nearby, kill if there are any, then break the criminal out.
- Players should as well look for criminals who appear to not have weapons, or stay near the Camaro at the Prison, to arrest then break the criminal out.
When completing the Museum or Power Plant contract, accept the contract either at the heist location or before arriving at the Volcano Criminal Base to avoid failing the contract. (Accepting the contract before arriving at the Volcano Criminal base is recommended)
- Be careful not to let the uranium run out of value when doing this for the Power Plant.

When completing a contract to arrest a certain number of criminals, make sure to have the element of surprise so the player can easily arrest criminals. It is also recommended to camp at usual Prison escapes, such as the sewers, or let Prisoners pickpocket and then arrest them.

When completing a contract related to bounty, join a server with a criminal with the desired bounty. It is advised to use a fast vehicle, such as the Stallion and Surus, or use any aerial vehicle. A good way to do this is to check the Top Criminals Board board or the hologram map in the Criminal Lair/Secret Agent Base (if level 4 or higher). Skilled police can look for the person with the desired amount of bounty, know which location the person is at, predict where they may be going, and then go there to get the bounty.

Many strategies such as camping come in handy with these contracts.
For ease, players can have a friend or alternate account reach the desired bounty then arrest them.

For popping a criminal's tires, either wait outside the Prison for a criminal to get into a Camaro, or get a Camaro inside the Prison and get a Prisoner to get in the driver's seat. Use the Shotgun at close range, and the Revolver at medium range (along with a Flintlock or Sniper Rifle by choice) to lower the amounts of shots needed to pop tires.

If the contract that requires a certain bounty to be collected is too high or is not readily available, switch servers to look for a lower bounty on the contract.

For the road spikes contract, consider diagonally lining the road spikes near the Prison so that it covers the tunnel and the highway. This should cover the most common escape routes from the Prison and will help finish the contract quickly. Players can also place road spikes in the tunnel leading from the Prison to the Mountainside Town, as many criminals use this route after escaping.

For the Cargo Plane contract, switch servers until the contract allows the player to call it.

If players have access to one, use a Private server, mainly for non-bounty-related contracts.

Play in small public servers, which will allow criminals to achieve higher bounties easily, and police to arrest criminals easily, to lower the chances of exploiters interfering.

Always make sure to accept the contract before completing the task, or else it will be a missed opportunity to complete the contract and gain XP.

Do not double-click the "Accept" button, even if the server's lagging. Be patient and wait for the "Accept" to register. Otherwise, the contract will most likely be aborted, resulting in a missed opportunity to complete the contract and gain XP.

Get a friend, an alternate account, or someone in the player's server to do your contracts with.

Contracts refresh every 16 hours. This means players can technically do two sets of contracts in a day, but it must be timed correctly.

By logging in every 16 hours, players can get up to x1.5 more XP than if they were to do only one set of contracts every 24 hours.
- With the Season Pass, players can earn about x2.25 more XP than if doing one set of contracts every 24 hours.
  - However, this is quite inconvenient for an average Jailbreak player due to scheduling, often requiring the player to wake up very early.
  - This can be skipped with a macro/auto clicker, as players only need to log in or be logged in at the time of refresh and do not require any other steps, meaning players do not need to log in manually early in the morning to refresh contracts, simply requiring the player to set up a macro before going to bed.

If players do not have enough time to finish all the contracts, finish the ones that reward the most XP before your time runs out.

Additionally, think about the combination of contracts that rewards most XP in a specific time.

Some contracts save their progress when aborted. This can be helpful in terms of multitasking.

Trivia[]

The reason why Badimo decided to change the contracts and leveling system of Jailbreak is that people could obtain the grand prize within one-two day with the previous system.^[3]^[4]
Some contracts were much harder upon the release of Contracts and Season 1: New Beginnings. They were quickly nerfed. One example was the bounty contract. Upon launch, it required a 10,000 bounty to complete, which was five times more than the required amount now.
In the Season 11 update, contracts can now be re-rolled for 15,000, and they can no longer be aborted.
On January 31, 2021, Season 1: New Beginnings ended. The contracts could no longer be completed, and the prizes could no longer be obtained. The next day, February 1st, the contracts were locked for completion. If players clicked the Contract GUI, a message will appear reading, "Season 1 is over! Thanks for playing!".
- On May 25, 2021, Season 3: Looking Back ended, making all the rewards unobtainable. If the player pressed the Contracts GUI in an outdated server, a message appeared reading "Season 3 is over! Thanks for playing!" In new servers, players can buy any free items from this season. It costs 99 for levels 2 and 4, 249 for levels 6 and 8, and 449 for level 10. They officially became unobtainable on May 30, 2021.
- Similar messages will appear whenever a season ends for all future seasons.
In Season 1: New Beginnings, a week before the season ended, a double XP event was released for players who had not yet reached level 10 to level up faster allowing players to level up quicker.
- All season after it also had a double XP event for players who did not make it to level 10 yet, with the event in Season 2 lasting 3 days, and the event in Season 3 lasting 5 days. Season 4's double XP event was extremely short, as the season was already 50 days long, the longest ever season.
On February 6, 2021, Season 2: Out of This World began, bringing in six new contracts.
- On June 4, 2021, Season 4: Epic Adventures started, bringing in the Tomb and one new contract requiring criminals to rob it. Some contracts were changed in terms of XP and objective as well, offering all buffs: some contracts were made easier, some rewarded more XP, but none were made harder and none rewarded less XP.
In the July 2021 Mid-Season update, Badimo introduced 13 new contracts, the most added in one update ever.
- The developers announced on Twitter that the number of contracts was going to be 15, but it ended up being 13.
In the Season 6 Update, the majority of the contracts were remixed, leaving only arresting and robbing contracts for the season. asimo3089 stated that these contracts and the ones from previous seasons will alternate with every season. They also added new contracts for robbing the Cargo Ship, Jewelry Store and the Rising City Bank, without dying.
There used to be a glitch in the past involving contracts, where the player could get infinite contracts.
