2.2. Return it
- When finished with the vehicle, return to the Valet
- Drive to the arrow and flex “E”
IMPORTANT NOTE: Depending on when you return it, you may get some of your money back! 🙂
3. Go to the Bank
Did you know that you have $5,000 in the bank the moment you fly in for the first time?
At the bank, do these two things:
- Withdraw some cash
- Set up your PIN
NOTE: You have to have a PIN before using an ATM
3.1. Withdraw Cash
- Use 3rd Eye (left alt) at the bank counter
- At the bank window click Withdraw
- Type the amount in the pop-up
- Click Withdraw
- See the cash in your pocket by flexing your “F2” muscle
3.2. Set/change PIN
If you haven’t already — Use 3rd Eye (left alt) at the bank counter
- Click “Settings”
- In the New PIN field, type in a PIN that is easy for you to remember
- Click “Submit”
Now that you have a PIN, you can use any ATM around the city
4. Buy Food
Go to the 24/7 Supermarket. They are marked on the map with a green building. When you go inside, walk to the cash register.
- Use 3rd Eye (left alt) to “Open Shop.”
- See the items you can purchase.
- In the field where you see a number, type in the number you want to purchase.
- Then from the shop menu, drag the item from the menu to your pocket (inventory)
NOTE: Shop purchases require Cash.
We recommend that you buy at least 20+ each bread and water. This will be enough for an hour or two – until you make your way to a restaurant to buy hearty food. Check Squawk for open restaurants where you can buy hearty food.
TIP: Watch your hydration and hunger indicators. To use your food and drink, open your pocket “F2” and drag the food or water on top of the USE button. When you do that, within a few seconds you’ll see those indicators fill up a bit.
5. Buy a Phone
This is how you’ll communicate with people around the city.
- At the same 24/7 store,
- Walk to the counter and Use 3rd Eye (left alt)
- Change the number to “1” (you only need one phone)
- Drag the phone to your pocket
TIPS:
- You can access your phone by flexing your “F1” muscle.
- In the case that you need a radio, you can buy one at the 24/7 store.
6. Bonus Tip!
Want to know what services are currently available? – Flex “F10” muscle and see the Scoreboard pop up in your eyes.
Among other things about you, it will show you how many Police, EMS, and Mechanics are on duty. 🙂
