Unfortunately, it’s not a matter of if you get robbed, but when. It’s very likely that you will get robbed at some point, possibly even in your first few hours on the island!  However, this doesn’t need to ruin your experience.

Robbers can only demand you give up what you’re carrying; they cannot force you to withdraw money from your bank or demand that you unlock your vehicle. If you don’t carry high value items (guns, vests, helmets) then you don’t have much to lose, and most robbers will move on without much hassle. Plus, only the Ural trucks can be lock picked, so your items will be safe in the trunk of your other vehicles.

For your starter jeep and van you can ignore upgrades on these until later.  However, your first truck will greatly benefit from a few of them:
For your starter jeep and van you can ignore upgrades on these until later.  However, your first truck will greatly benefit from a few of them:


* Chip Tuning 1 ($100,000) - Increases power and torque by 10%
* Chip Tuning - Increases power and torque, but later levels increase fuel consumption.  I recommend just getting the first two.
* Chip Tuning 2 ($250,000) - Increases power and torque by an additional 10%
* Auto Lock - Automatically locks the vehicle after 10 seconds.
* Auto Lock ($80,000) - Automatically locks the vehicle after 10 seconds


The extra torque helps a lot, especially when going uphill in the American truck. The Auto Lock helps keep your vehicle secure if you forget to lock it. The remaining upgrades are still useful, but not quite worth the price when you’re first starting out.

* Chip Tuning 3 ($750,000) - Another 10% boost, but is considered illegal
* Fuel Injection - Reduces fuel consumption.
* Airbag ($375,000) - Drastically reduces chance of fatal damage in accidents
* Airbag - Drastically reduces chance of fatal damage in accidents.
* False Bottom ($450,000) - Reduces the chance of illegal items being found when searched by police.
* False Bottom - Reduces the chance of illegal items being found when searched by police.


The last chip tuning upgrade is good, but very expensive and can get your vehicle impounded if it’s discovered by police. The airbag is also useful, as accidents will happen no matter how well you drive. Finally, the false bottom is really only useful if you’re running drugs.
The fuel injectors are good and can counteract the higher chip tuning levels a bit. The airbag is also useful, as accidents will happen no matter how well you drive. Finally, the false bottom is really only useful if you’re running drugs.


It costs $15,000 to do an inspection which is good for another 500km. Police may impound your vehicle if your inspection is overdue, so keep it current!
