High-value loot

Artifacts Guide

Artifacts and other high-value finds should change the entire run. Once the crew has something painful to lose, the best play is usually to protect the value rather than multiply the risk.

Artifact Decision Rules

FindCall the value out loud so the crew knows the run has changed.
SecureStop casual looting and reposition around extraction.
ProtectAvoid optional fights unless they guard the exit line.
BankExtract before one good pickup turns into a failed story.

Greed is easiest to justify after a lucky find. That is exactly when the crew needs a rule instead of a debate.
