Your First Hour
A practical checklist for your first session in the city.
You've spawned in. Here's a good way to spend your first hour.
Get your bearings
Press Esc and open the map. Blips mark shops, garages, job sites, the hospital and more. Press F2 to open your inventory and F1 for your phone.
Check your keys
The Controls page lists everything, and /keybinds shows every key and command in-game. You can change keys in Settings → Key Bindings → FiveM.
Test your voice
Talk to someone nearby. Press ~ (the key under Esc) to cycle how far your voice carries. See Voice & Communication.
Buy food and water
Your character gets hungry and thirsty. Grab food and drinks from a 24/7 store so you're not caught out. See Health & Death.
Visit City Services
Head to the City Services blip and buy a Driver License ($50) before you get behind the wheel. See Licences.
Get a ride
Rent a car, or start saving for one at a dealership. See Vehicles.
Find work
Pick a starter job and start earning. See Civilian Jobs.
Open the Rewards menu
Press F7. You earn coins and XP just by playing, and you get 5 daily quests. See Rewards.
Meet people
Roleplay is about people. Start a conversation, ask for directions, grab a coffee. The best stories start with "hey, you new around here?"
Stuck?
Ask in the Discord help channels or open a support ticket. Don't break character in the middle of someone's scene to ask out-of-character questions.
