Teams are an important feature in Jailbreak. They determine a player's enemies and teammates and different teams are restricted to having different items.

Overview

Upon joining Jailbreak, players are able to join one of two teams; police, or prisoner. Despite being able to choose from these two teams, there is a third team, criminals, which only prisoners can become after escaping.

Switching Teams

The switch teams icon.

To switch teams, players must click the circular "half Prisoner-Police" icon on the left. A prompt will then appear asking "Are you sure you want to switch teams?" with a "Yes" and "No" button. Clicking "No" will return to normal gameplay. Clicking "Yes" will redirect the player to the select team menu, exactly the same as the menu upon joining the game. If they are a criminal, they will lose their bounty and they will not be able to turn back. There is a cooldown of 20 seconds to prevent abusing the team switch function. You cannot switch teams while arrested or in your cell.

Teams

Police

Main article: Police

Police is one of two teams that players are able to select when entering the game. When selecting the team, players can spawn at either of the Police Stations, the Prison or the Military Base and are automatically given a Pistol, Handcuffs, a Taser and Road Spikes. On top of this, police are granted with the most amount special abilities, being able to arrest and tase both criminals and guilty prisoners, call the Cargo Plane, protect the Cargo Ship and Passenger Train from being robbed, drive the Bank Truck, wear police attire, use the Riot Shield and SWAT Phone (if they own SWAT).

Although they are given many abilities, their main objective is to keep prisoners inside of the Prison and arrest criminals before robberies are committed.

Prisoners

Main article: Prisoner

Prisoner is the second team players are able to select when joining the game. Despite this, anyone who joins the game will be a prisoner until they select a team, making it the "default" team. They will spawn at various locations inside of the Prison, depending on the in-game time or if they have been arrested.

Unlike police, prisoners do not have many special abilities, only having a prison schedule, automatically spawn with a prison jumpsuit on and be able to escape, which is their only objective.

Criminals

CrimeBossAttireNew

A criminal wearing full BOSS attire.

Main article: Criminal

Criminals are the third team in Jailbreak, and is the only team that players are unable to select upon joining the game. Instead, a player is required to be a prisoner and escape. It is considered as the main team, due to the majority of players being on the team and appearing as the first team on the player leaderboard.

When playing as a criminal, the main objective is to rob and gain bounty, whilst avoiding being arrested by the police.

Trivia

  • Each team have their own team color. This refers to the team's header on the player leaderboard, the player's name in the chat and nametag player marker colors both in-game and on the minimap and the color of all GUI.
  • When in the selecting teams menu, the background will shift from an aerial view of the Rising City, starting from the Jewelry Store to the Bank, then to a train tunnel by the Train Station, and then a view of the City from the ground angle near the Bank.
    • If players click the police icon once, the camera will be redirected to a view of Rising City Police Station.
    • If players click the prisoner icon once, it will be redirected to a view of the cafeteria, prison yard or prison block, depending on the in-game time.
  • In the first hours of the release of Jailbreak, it was not possible to switch teams after picking in the team selection menu. [1]
    • Badimo quickly added the switch teams button a few hours later. [2]
  • Formerly, when choosing a team, when you pick the Prisoner or Police button, a white rectangular button saying "Confirm" will pop-up, clicking it will assign you to the team you chose.
    • Now, when clicking on the team you want to be on, a green oval-shaped button saying "Play" will pop-up, this was added in the Nukes Update.
