Whether you’re a seasoned veteran or new to MagFed, Cartel Wars provides an exciting opportunity to experience one of the most dynamic and engaging MagFed events on the West Coast. Join us for an unforgettable weekend of competition, teamwork, and immersive gameplay.
For decades, rival cartels waged some of the most brutal and relentless wars California had ever witnessed. Entire organizations were pushed to the brink, forcing cartel leaders to retreat into the shadows and rebuild their ranks.

The story behind the event…
Now, a new generation of Sicarios has emerged—more disciplined, more intelligent, and more dangerous than ever before. Gone are the old methods. Advanced technology has become their weapon of choice. Drones silently transport high-value contraband across vast distances, while sophisticated cultivation operations hidden deep within California’s remote mountains produce record-breaking harvests.

But the modern battlefield extends far beyond the streets.

In a world where information is more valuable than gold, the cartels have set their sights on a new prize: data. Elite crews are targeting secure facilities and stealing Massive Data Drives (MDDs) containing priceless information worth fortunes on the black market. At the same time, scientists and researchers are disappearing under mysterious circumstances, rumored to be forced into developing a revolutionary new formula that could reshape the underground economy.

Authorities warn that the cartel capable of dominating the streets, controlling the flow of narcotics, mastering the new formula, and monopolizing the data trade will hold unprecedented power over California for years to come.

The question is no longer who will survive the war…

The question is who will rule when the dust settles.
