'''DO THE TUTORIAL''' to learn how to buy clothes and a backpack as well as how to gather and process resources. You’ll get a '''FREE UAZ-469 Off-Road''' when you complete it.

So you skipped the tutorial and didn’t get your free vehicle, spent all your money, then died and lost everything you were carrying. You don’t want to beg for money, so here’s what you can do

# Gather five apples from the tree (takes about a minute)

# Walk back down to the market to the Apple Trader and sell all five apples for $650

# Do this two more times, then buy a shirt. Now you can hold ten apples!

To reach this goal, you’ll be doing the fastest resource loop available - Copper!

#* You should usually make at least $45k per run.

Do this loop 2 or 3 times and you’ll have enough to buy the van from any Car Shop!

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 wear vests, helmets, or guns on your shoulder, 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.

# '''Flee.''' If you’re being chased in your vehicle, you can try to out-maneuver the robbers. If they’ve already stopped you or if you’re on foot, you probably won’t escape..

# '''Comply.''' Go prone, drop your backpack and your clothing, and let the robbers take your things. In most cases this is your best option both for time and for profit.

Ultimately, your main goal in a robbery should be to survive and get back to work! Just remember that killing people, even in self-defense, will negatively affect your reputation and thus reduce your discounts and sell value on trade goods.

#* '''Polyester''' and Petrol require a fuel truck which you probably don’t have yet.

* Chip Tuning 1 ($100,000) - Increases power and torque by 10%

* Chip Tuning 2 ($250,000) - Increases power and torque by an additional 10%

* Auto Lock ($80,000) - Automatically locks the vehicle after 10 seconds

* Chip Tuning 3 ($750,000) - Another 10% boost, but is considered illegal

* Airbag ($375,000) - Drastically reduces chance of fatal damage in accidents

* False Bottom ($450,000) - 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.

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!

Of the three humvee variants, only the Armored version is worth using. With slower top speed and acceleration plus tougher handling than most vehicles, it’s most commonly used by gangs and criminals looking for a safer transportation method that can protect them from gunfire.

Helicopters cannot be purchased anywhere on the island. Instead, they can only be crafted and require a huge amount of resources, including extremely rare crafting items. If you’re lucky enough to get a helicopter blueprint or special rotor while you’re working, sell it on the Auction House and skip the rest of this guide!
