What the Turbo Crane upgrade does
Cargo can consume a large part of your shift when you are moving containers individually. Airport Contraband's Turbo Crane perk increases the crane's movement speed, helping you transfer cargo faster. It is a movement upgrade, while Executive Priority is the separate perk that adds cargo teleportation.
The distinction comes directly from the developer's October 16 cargo lesson. Turbo Crane improves the speed of the ordinary crane journey. Executive Priority changes that journey by providing a button that sends a crate to its destination.
Compare the two cargo perks
| Perk | Officially described effect | What changes during cargo handling |
|---|---|---|
| Turbo Crane | Faster crane movement | You move containers using a faster crane |
| Executive Priority | A teleport button for crates | You can send cargo directly to its destination |
The official Turbo Crane and Executive Priority explanation treats them as two approaches to the same workload. It does not describe Turbo Crane as the teleport upgrade.
This also means that a teleport demonstration should not be used to explain what Turbo Crane alone provides. When checking your selected perks, look for the exact name and its displayed effect.
Fit speed improvements into the cargo routine
The normal cargo workflow still matters. The developer's earlier cargo overview describes a daily brief showing the shipments that must move between the aircraft and a truck. Increasing movement speed helps with those transfers, but it does not turn the perk into an automatic inspection system.
Cargo handling can also include reversed controls and excessive clamp pressure. A faster crane is not documented as removing those malfunctions. Keep responding to the current cargo task and any malfunction prompt rather than treating speed as protection against every handling mistake.
Player experience in a prerelease playthrough also shows Turbo Crane among cargo-path perk choices. That is useful context for recognizing the perk, but an early build's displayed multiplier or point requirement is not a universal current-version price list. Read the offer in your own run before spending points or money.
FAQ
Does Turbo Crane teleport containers?
No. The developer assigns the teleport button to Executive Priority. Turbo Crane increases crane speed.
What is the exact Turbo Crane speed multiplier?
The official lesson confirms faster movement without setting a universal numeric multiplier. Prerelease footage may show a particular offer, but its values should not be assumed for every version or perk level.
Does the upgrade eliminate crane malfunctions?
That is not its documented effect. The speed perk should not be confused with a malfunction-specific improvement or a fix for the crane getting stuck.
