Gameplay
Bad Agency takes place in a fictional city called Los Frontera, based on multiple cities in California, and features multiple main characters starting a criminal organization called: The Bad Agency. The player can participate in multiple heists, assassinations, transporting of drugs and more criminal activities to become the infamous gang of the city. The player can take control of any of the 5 friends, who each individual have a specialty in combat, and they can switch easily in-game from character to character. The goal of the game is to get enough respect in the city to become the ruler of the underworld. The player can achieve this to do tasks for special players or start own events.

Before a player starts an operation, they can fully plan the operation at home. After getting points, the player can buy more options to customize the operation, such as gear, vehicles and informants. Also, the player can choose for multiple approaches, such as stealth, assault, insider, sabotage or robbery. Stealth is doing the op, leaving as less clues back at the scene. Assault is a quick attack using hostages to keep out of sight of the cops. Insider is using an insider or being the insider to gain the intel undetected while working with the guards. Sabotage is a combination of sabotaging transport or hacking accounts in order to stop the transition or get money from an account. Robbery is the last one which informs a combination of assault and stealth, but is more direct and easier than both.

After each mission the whole team gets the same amount of reputation points. The more reputation points, the more the player can do things like making deals earlier, unlocking more informants and later on getting invitations to do tasks, where they become the helpers. Each player also get an after-action report, which says how much money a character made, this varies between all players, how much reputation, this is the same at everyone, and other interesting things, like if there face is spotted on camera or he left clues behind.
