Assassination Threats

Assassination threats occur if a faction is angry with you but has not revolted. In other words, they have been in the red zone many consistent times. If there is a threat from the faction, a yellow assault rifle icon will appear in the top left corner. You can receive said faction and talk to it normally, and there is a chance the threat will disappear if you please it. If not, it will lead to a assassination attempt. You can hire bodyguards during this time as well which can protect you from the assassins and will remain in the game until they are killed.
