# Squads

Team up for a contract and how squad payouts work.

Up to four players (`MaxSquadSize`, leader included) can work a contract together.

## Forming a squad

1. Open the tablet and go to the **Group** tab.
2. Invite another player by their server ID.
3. They accept from their own tablet. Everyone in a squad needs a Boosting Tablet.

The squad shares one active contract: everyone sees the search area, any member can hack the car, and any member can deliver it.

## Payouts

Cash is split between the members who are online at delivery. Crypto and XP are multiplied for each member by the squad size:

```lua
SquadScaling = {
    XpRates     = { [1] = 1.30, [2] = 1.10, [3] = 1.00, [4] = 0.90 },
    CryptoRates = { [1] = 1.30, [2] = 0.80, [3] = 0.75, [4] = 0.70 },
    BuyerDepositRefund = 0.50, -- share of the buy-in returned to whoever bought the contract
},
```

For a contract paying 500 crypto:

| Squad | Each member gets | Squad total |
| ----- | ---------------- | ----------- |
| Solo  | 650 (500 × 1.30) | 650         |
| Two   | 400 (500 × 0.80) | 800         |
| Three | 375 (500 × 0.75) | 1,125       |
| Four  | 350 (500 × 0.70) | 1,400       |

Solo players earn the most each; squads earn the most together. Change the rates in `configs/server.lua`.
