The Rewards of Infamy and Duty
RAW ✔️ The Book of Judgement, p60
As a gang's reputation grows, they attract aid and followers just as fresh carrion attracts rats. A gang whose reputation is as lords of crime and misrule may gain the help of all manner of rogues and outcasts, while champions of law and order can gain help from hive authorities and the aid of opportunistic bounty hunters, as well as claim higher bounties for the law breakers they take down.
The Boons granted by Reputation are listed in the Reputation Boons table below. As a gang's Reputation increases, so does the number of Boons it can claim. However, should a gang's Reputation ever fall, it will lose any Boons it is no longer entitled to. For example, if an Outlaw gang has a Reputation of (Outlaw) 8, it will gain a free Scabber Hanger-on. However, should that gang's Reputation fall to below 5, it would lose the Scabber Hanger-on.
Changing Alignment
A gang which changes its alignment loses 3 Reputation immediately. They also lose all the Reputation-based Boons they had and then gain the Reputationbased Boons from their new alignment.
For example: The Iron Lords have a Reputation of (Law Abiding) 10 before they change sides to Outlaw. They lose 3 Reputation because of the change, resulting in a new Reputation of (Outlaw) 7. They lose the Claiming Enhanced Bounties and Propagandist Boons they previously had and gain the Scabber and Black Market Trade Boons.

Black Market Trade
A gang with this Boon may visit and purchase items from the Black Market freely, without risk. Once a gang has become Outlaw, it has little reason to worry about the risks of using illegal equipment!
Black Market Trade Discount
A gang with this Boon discounts the cost of items purchased from the Black Market as indicated, rounding down to the nearest 5 credits. These discounts are not cumulative, so the best discount is applied.
Claiming Bounties
Law Abiding gangs can claim bounties for enemy fighters belonging to Outlaw gangs that suffered a Memorable Death result on the Lasting Injury table, or that they have Captured, providing the Captive's controlling player has had the opportunity to attempt a Rescue Mission, as described on page 134 of the Necromunda Rulebook.
- For every fighter belonging to an Outlaw gang that suffered a Memorable Death result on the Lasting Injury table during the preceding battle, this gang claims a bounty of 2D6x10 credits.
- When a Law Abiding gang claims a bounty for a fighter belonging to an Outlaw gang that they have Captured, they are worth their full value in credits.
Claiming Enhanced Bounties
A gang with this Boon increases any bounties they receive as indicated. These increases are not cumulative, so the best increase is applied.
Recruit
A gang with this Boon gains one Hanger-on of the type listed free of charge. If their Reputation should fall in the future, this Hanger-on is immediately lost.
