Gangsters are encountered in Great Kourend during the Intelligence Gathering activity. They appear at select locations in groups of 4-14 along with a Gang boss. They will despawn from all worlds 5 minutes after the time they were scheduled to appear - any gangsters that were in combat during this time will die and if you have inflicted any damage to them, you will receive the appropriate loot.

Drops

Drop rates are estimated based on 698,222 samples from the Drop Rate Project, unless otherwise cited.

The average Gangster kill is worth 3,706.74.
