Level Catchup Crew

Level Catchup Crew - Dynamic Crew Level Balancing

Tired of situations where a new player joins the campaign and becomes completely useless compared to a crew with dozens or even hundreds of levels?

Level Catchup Crew automatically synchronizes crew progression, helping new and behind players catch up without destroying the balance of the campaign.

Main Features

• Automatic level catch-up • Dynamic EXP leader detection • New and trusted player system • Bot support • No interruptions during missions • Safe for long-term campaigns • Multiplayer compatible • Designed for long campaigns and servers

How does the system work?

The mod analyzes the EXP of the entire crew at the start and end of each round.

The player with the highest EXP becomes the Leader.

Other crew members receive missing EXP in order to stay slightly behind the leader instead of remaining dozens of levels behind.

EXP is only added, never removed.

Two-Phase System

LOW Phase

Activates at low leader levels.

New players and bots receive 70% of the leader's EXP. Trusted players receive 85% of the leader's EXP.

NORMAL Phase

Activates once the leader reaches higher levels.

New players stay around 5 levels behind the leader. Trusted players stay around 3 levels behind the leader.

System Roles

Leader The player with the highest EXP on the server.

New Player A player who has not yet reached trusted status.

Trusted Player A player with at least 72 hours of playtime on the server.

Bot / CREW Bots and AI crew members can also receive catch-up EXP.
