Contraband, inspections & raids

What brings Security to your door

• Weapons bring inspections.
• Contraband brings raids.
• Contraband in stock also makes you a likelier target for thieves.

Hiding things

• Dr. Jackson sells Smuggler’s Bay, a small disguised compartment that hides its contents from inspection.
• A safe and other hidden spots in the shop keep problem items out of sight.
• If you get caught anyway, you can try to bribe your way out.

Inspections and Security reputation

A cleared inspection earns Security reputation. Since patch 48.3.12, an inspection that follows contraband on display no longer counts. This closed an exploit where players displayed contraband, hid it in a Smuggler’s Bay and passed the inspection for free reputation.

According to a preview, good standing with Security makes inspectors more lenient.

The underground exchange

With the right license you can trade on the underground market. Its exchange posts directives: requests for specific goods, such as poison.
