BRAVOS

Mercenaries and Thugs

Some crews plot and scheme, some crews sneak around, some crews get entangled with the occult—you fight. The fist and the blade are all you need.

When you play Bravos, you earn xp when you execute a successful battle, extortion, sabotage, or smash & grab operation.

Are you brutal thugs, savvy sell-swords, or ruthless gangsters?
