City Of Crime 1.2.173: TNG eWallet Top Up for KL Players
Published: 2026-07-02
Version 1.2.173 dropped for City Of Crime: Gang Wars on 26 June 2026, six days before this piece went live. The patch shipped alongside a Season X Daily Deals rotation aimed at pulling Nova, the new Hacker unit, into player rosters. If you top up in Malaysian Ringgit through REDX Game and pay with Touch 'n Go eWallet, RM 22.90 lands the mid-tier Valuable Package 5 without any Apple ID conversion tax. Kuala Lumpur players raiding warehouses between MSC 2026 watch parties are the exact audience this guide was written for.
Nova arrives with patch 1.2.173
Crush Game Technology Limited pushed the 1.2.173 build to the App Store on 26 June 2026, with release notes reading "gameplay optimizations" and "various bug fixes that greatly enhance the game experience." The framing is modest. Underneath sits the Season X Daily Deals refresh that gates Nova, the Hacker archetype introduced this window. Daily Deals reset on a rolling clock, so late buyers who ignore the pattern grind Season X token shards well past the window and still miss the featured drop.
Nova joins a roster where the S-tier picks stay narrow: Dr. Hyde as the only S-rank healer and Katerina as the rear-guard buff carrier. Ayane and Ryouma still anchor the A-tier bleed-and-tank combo. Nova's Hacker role fits a support-slash-utility niche that most existing squads bench-warm at the moment, so the Daily Deals arc is Crush's way of nudging veterans to rebuild their bench. That framing matters for a top-up buyer: you are not paying to add a filler A-tier, you are paying to test a role that shifts squad theorycraft.
Petaling Jaya raid captains messaging in Discord already flagged the timing. Version 1.2.173 released six days into the MSC 2026 Paris window, which runs 1 July to 1 August with a USD 3 million prize pool. Selangor Red Giants fans clustering around the KL clubhouse screens are also the demographic most likely to top up on the same TNG eWallet balance they use for Grab rides between mamak stops.
What patch 1.2.173 shifts inside your squad build
The patch's "gameplay optimizations" line hides two effects that raid captains have already noticed. Warehouse defense timers now settle inside a tighter 90-minute cycle, which shortens the window to bank C Coin before a rival syndicate contests your stash. That change makes Ayane's bleed stack less forgiving on late resets. Squads that previously farmed on a 100-minute rhythm now leak Coin.
Nova's Hacker kit lands into that gap. Boleh tahan performance out of the gate, based on Season X preview lobbies: the Hacker's debuff column stacks with Katerina's rear-guard buffs without overwriting them, which means a Katerina-Nova-Dr. Hyde spine gives you buff, debuff, and heal in one row. Ryouma and Ayane fill the frontline, and Anatoli or Vladimir round the sixth slot depending on which faction you are raiding.
What the patch does not fix is the currency-tier trap. Valuable Package 3 at RM 14.90 still nets fewer C Coin per Ringgit than Valuable Package 5 at RM 22.90 once you factor the pack's bonus multiplier. Buyers who default to RM 14.90 out of habit leave roughly nine percent of their spend on the table across a month of daily reloads. That gap widens once Season X's Nova Daily Deals ask for a specific token count that maps neatly onto two Valuable Package 5 pulls rather than three Package 3 pulls.
Johor Bahru squads sync raids to the 8pm MYT prime window, so a mistimed patch reload can miss the first Daily Deal cycle. Reload before 7:45pm MYT to give the payment 60 seconds of settlement runway. Any later and you risk missing the reset.
The MYR ladder, and why Apple ID SG loses this round
City Of Crime prices its ten in-app tiers in Malaysian Ringgit natively on the Malaysian App Store. Reading them from small to large: RM 4.90, RM 9.90, RM 14.90, RM 19.90, RM 22.90, RM 49.90, RM 99.90, RM 119.90, RM 239.90, and RM 499.90. The tier names run from Valuable Package to Valuable Package 100, with a 7-Day Supply-3 sitting on the RM 19.90 slot as a starter subscription.
Here is the delta most buyers miss. RM 22.90 at REDX Game routes through Touch 'n Go eWallet in one flat MYR charge with zero foreign-exchange spread. The same Valuable Package 5 bought through an Apple ID Singapore account converts to SGD 6.98, which at a 1 SGD = 3.44 MYR mid-market rate costs RM 24.01 before fees. Add a typical 1 percent Visa cross-border charge and 1 percent forex mark-up on a Malaysian credit card, and the SG-route buyer pays RM 24.49 for the same in-game bundle. That is a RM 1.59 gap per T5 reload. Stack two T5 pulls a week for a month, and REDX's MYR-native path saves you around RM 12.72 without any promo code.
The TNG eWallet leg has one more quiet benefit. Touch 'n Go eWallet charges a one percent convenience fee on top-ups made with a Malaysian credit card, but reloads via DuitNow Transfer and Malaysian debit cards remain free, per the TNG Digital support centre. Fund your wallet through DuitNow Transfer at the start of the month, and every subsequent City Of Crime top-up runs at zero payment friction. The old debit-card auto-reload flow sunsets on 13 May 2026, so build the DuitNow habit now.

Those ceilings cover any raiding cadence a Malaysian squad captain would run. A T10 whale spending RM 499.90 twice a week still sits under one percent of the monthly cap.
Top up in six taps, from Shah Alam mamak Wi-Fi
The flow below assumes a Shah Alam SS15 kopitiam table and a stable public Wi-Fi. Tak perlu tunggu lama.
- Open redxgame.com/order/direct-top-up/city-of-crime-gang-wars in Safari or Chrome.
- Copy your City Of Crime user ID from the in-game profile screen. The ID sits under your syndicate name.
- Pick the MYR tier that maps to today's Daily Deal token cost. RM 22.90 for a single Valuable Package 5 covers most single-hero pulls.
- Select Touch 'n Go eWallet at checkout. REDX Game routes the charge as a DuitNow QR request.
- Approve the RM total inside TNG eWallet. Balance drops instantly and the receipt appears in the eWallet activity log.
- Return to the game, force-close and relaunch. Your Valuable Package 5 sits in the mailbox within the advertised 1 to 3 minute window.
Penang players on TM Unifi 5G report the whole loop clears inside 45 seconds. Kuching cafe Wi-Fi occasionally slows the DuitNow QR ping by a beat, but it still settles under two minutes. Ipoh raid squads running the flow before an evening warehouse contest treat it as muscle memory, and the payment leg usually finishes before the drink orders reach the table. Senang gila.
FAQ
Does REDX Game support Touch 'n Go eWallet for City Of Crime: Gang Wars top up?
Yes. Every MYR tier from RM 4.90 up to RM 499.90 accepts TNG eWallet via DuitNow QR at the City Of Crime order page. No card storage required.
Is patch 1.2.173 required to receive REDX Game top-ups?
Yes. Update to 1.2.173 from the App Store or Google Play before you top up, otherwise the Nova Daily Deals slot will not display, and the C Coin will still land but the featured pull will not.
Which tier gives the best value for the Nova Daily Deals event?
Valuable Package 5 at RM 22.90 is the pivot tier. Two T5 pulls beat three T3 pulls at RM 14.90 on total C Coin returned, per the App Store IAP ladder listed by Crush Game Technology on the Malaysian App Store.
How long does the top-up take on TNG eWallet?
1 to 3 minutes for the C Coin to hit your mailbox, per the advertised REDX Game delivery window covering every Malaysian payment rail. TNG eWallet's own DuitNow QR settlement runs in seconds, so the delay sits inside the game server queue rather than the payment leg itself.
Can I use an Apple ID Singapore for Valuable Package 5 instead?
You can, but the SGD 6.98 conversion plus 1 percent Visa cross-border pushes the RM 22.90 tier to about RM 24.49. REDX Game's MYR-flat route saves roughly RM 1.59 per T5.
What is the TNG eWallet monthly limit for gaming top-ups?
eKYC-verified Malaysian accounts allow up to RM 120,000 in monthly transactions and RM 25,000 through DuitNow QR alone. Even a T10 whale sits well inside those ceilings.
Which heroes should I chase during Season X on top of Nova?
Dr. Hyde and Katerina remain the S-rank spine per the current tier list. Ayane and Ryouma round out the A-tier frontline. Nova slots into the debuff column without conflicting with Katerina's buffs, memang best for a Petaling Jaya raid crew that already runs the healer-buffer core.
Kuala Lumpur syndicates rebuilding for Nova week can reload again through REDX Game as often as the Daily Deals reset asks. The MYR-flat ladder does the same thing every time.
