Starter Hub

What's in the Starter Hub?

• Character Ped — displays your active character including live appearance adjustments
• Account PFP & Username
• Account Number
• Account Creation Date
• Account Last Played Date
• Royalty Addon — monthly subscription with exclusive perks (not required — everything can be earned without it)

Customisation

From the Starter Hub you can select which Player Card and Player Title you want to display and save it to your account.

Player Card & Player Title

These are displayed across various server systems such as the death screen, letting you show off your achievements to other players.

• Player Card — a cosmetic image displayed on your profile. Each player starts with a starter version and earns more through Achievements, Challenges, and VIP Ranks
• Player Title — a title displayed on your profile. Earned the same way as Player Cards

Character Creation

Everything you need to know about creating your character at the beginning of your journey on the server.

What can you customise?

• Background Hood — your character's background style
• Hair — style and colour
• Mannerisms — character animations and posture
• Makeup — facial makeup options
• Clothing Set — starting outfit

Starter Tutorial

A guided introduction to the server that every new player goes through.

What is it?

• A 14-page tutorial that shows you key locations and explains what's important to know
• You can skip through pages but it's not recommended — the information is genuinely useful

Starter Crate

After completing the tutorial you receive a one-time Starter Crate gift. Find it in your inventory, drag it to use it, and you'll be rewarded with a randomly selected vehicle that goes straight into your garage.

Inventory System

Features

• Clothing Toggle — switch individual clothing items on or off
• Weapon Holster — drag your desired weapon into the holster box to holster/unholster it
• Amount Input — enter a desired amount or leave it at "0" for ALL when splitting stacks

Knowledge System

The Knowledge System allows players to feel like they're levelling up and progressing onto bigger and better opportunities.

How it works

There are currently 2 Dealers within the server that sell knowledge. Purchasing knowledge from them unlocks new activities, higher-value crimes, and better earning methods.

Illegal Information Dealer

This is the location where you can purchase all the illegal knowledge available in the server. Find them in the city and purchase the information you need to progress.

Fortune Fountain

How it works

• Players contribute a desired amount of funds into the fountain
• Set goals are tracked — once a goal is reached, the fountain triggers effects and a beacon
• A server-wide round pay-out boost is awarded to all players when goals are achieved

Drugs

Drugs are one of the best ways to make money and progress on the server. Learning the system is key.

How it works

Each drug has different harvesting times based on its level. Each drug also has a process point — shrooms being the highest risk and highest reward.

Process

• Harvest — gather the drug at its harvest location
• Process — take the raw product to a processing location
• Sell — sell the processed product to dealers across the city

Risk vs Reward

Higher-level drugs take longer to harvest and process but yield significantly more money. Shrooms are at the top end — high risk, high reward.

Mining

Mining is a solid way to make money while progressing through the server.

How it works

• Each mineral has different harvesting times based on its level
• Each mineral has different processing stages — the higher the level, the more stages
• Once processed, head to the buying outpost where all minerals can be sold

Tips

• Higher-level minerals take longer but pay significantly more
• Check the buying outpost prices before deciding which mineral to focus on

Fishing

The Global Life fishing system lets you catch fish, earn a reputation in the angling world, unlock different rarities, and climb the leaderboard.

Getting started

• Purchase a fishing rod from the Fisherman location
• Head to any water location and begin fishing

Selling your catch

• Head back to the Fisherman
• Sell your caught fish for cash
• Rarer catches earn significantly more

Settings

You can customise fishing settings to your preference — including sensitivity and auto-fish options.

Oil Rigs

Oil Rigs are a passive income system — buy one, leave it running, and collect money while you do other things.

How to start

• Select a level (Level 1 or Level 2) that you want to purchase
• Buy it with in-game funds
• The rig runs automatically and generates oil

Levels

Selling Oil

Head to the Distributor at the docks to sell the oil you've collected from your rigs.

Wager Arena

The Wager Arena lets you test or show off your skills against any opponent for real in-game money.

How it works

• Challenge an opponent
• Winner takes the pot

Features

• Creating a Wager — set your amount and invite opponents

Shipwrecks

Shipwrecks randomly appear throughout your time on the server — a race against other players to loot underwater treasure.

How it works

• Shipwrecks display on the map when they spawn
• Dive underwater to reach the shipwreck
• Salvage the goods inside

Airdrops

Airdrops drop randomly around the map with tiered loot rewards. The highest tier will fill your pockets to the brim.

Tier system

Every airdrop has a random chance to be a higher tier — meaning better loot. The top tier is the most valuable drop in the game.

Oil Platform

The Oil Platform is a PvP event — fight to the death for a special airdrop crate full of mystery goods.

How it works

• A notification announces when the Oil Platform event is active
• Arrive at the oil rig before others
• Fight off other players to claim the special airdrop crate
• The crate contains a full inventory of mystery items

Store Robberies

Store robberies are uniquely designed — each one has a randomly altered difficulty, meaning you could have the easiest robbery of your life or the hardest.

How it works

• Head to any store in the city
• Peds are spread throughout the store — sometimes there can be more than you expect
• Rob the store and make your escape before police respond

Vangelico Heist

Steps

• Head to the roof of Vangelico
• Use the thermite to gas the vents

Players must report ban evasion, falsified reports, cyber-attack discussions/jokes, and other serious breaches. Hiding such information is punishable.

• Counting down during initiation
• Using mechanics to ruin player experience (e.g., spam calling during combat)

After death, involved parties must forget all events/interactions leading to that death.
