¶ Introduction
Civilian is the default role you get when you first login to the server, and also the default role you get if you switch off a job.
Civilians are able to partake in all sorts of criminal and illegal activities in order to get money and experience, allowing them to unlock other jobs and new purchasable items and perks.
They also are able to purchase properties, vehicles from 4 different dealerships, rent a car at the rental shop, buy drugs from drug dealers (NPCs and players), buy ATMs hacking devices at the hacker and buy illegal weapons and ammo at the illegal weapons dealership, making them the most developed and customisable role on the server.
Every day in-game, you can get an unemployment check of $12,000 if you have less than $500,000 in your bank account.
¶ Earning money and XP
- Vehicle scrap / export : One of the easiest ways to make money especially as a new player is to steal parked vehicles, or vehicles driven by NPCs, and either bring them to a scrapping yard or export them at the docks for money (depending on which vehicle is it).
- Robberies : Another quick, but dangerous way of making money is to go to a store or a nightclub and rob them to get money. To do so, just point your gun at the clerk of each store and wait for the robbery to end to receive your money.
- ATM Hacking : If you can invest some money to get some nice profits, you can go to the hacker's house to buy some ATM Hacking Devices, then use those devices to get more money from hacking the ATMs.
- Pickpocket : You can also steal some money from other non-emergency players and from NPCs if you get close to them and press the B key.
- Bounties : You can kill wanted players that have a bounty to get their bounty as reward.
¶ Wanted level
When a civilian hasn't done any reported illegal activities, they appear with a white blip on the map, a white username above their head and on the player list.
¶ Criminal
Once a crime has been committed, a civilian will get a “wanted level” ranked by stars depending on the severity of the crime they did.
Once they get a wanted level, Police officers are allowed to track and arrest them for their crimes, and in the case of if they committed a violent felony they are also allowed to use lethal force to take down the criminal.
Each wanted level comes with its own colour representation and reward for the cops that can catch them :
- 2★ : yellow nametag and blip on the map, mostly from minor felonies such as stealing a regular car, pick-pocketing, drug trafficking, etc
- 3★ : light orange nametag and blip on the map, mostly from moderate felonies such as stealing an emergency vehicle or threatening someone with a weapon
- 4★ : orange nametag and blip on the map, from all kinds of major, violent felonies like assault on police officers or murder of other civilians
- 5★ : red nametag and blip on the map, the highest wanted level you get after killing a police officer, stealing a military vehicle or murdering a player at 4★.
Once you get to most wanted level, you also get a default bounty of $30,000 which will rise if you commit more crimes. The amount of money that it rises by depends on the crimes you do.
¶ Most wanted criminals
Most wanted criminals, are a special wanted level reached once having gone past the point of no return, for example: having killed either a police officer, stolen a military vehicle or killing another non-cop player while having 4★.
Once you reach most wanted level, you receive a bounty starting at $30,000 which will rise accordingly to the crimes you will do : every player on the server can hunt and kill you to get your bounty, with the exception of paramedics, and in the case of Police Officers they can try to arrest you alive to get a bigger reward.
The most wanted level not only gives you a pretty bright red colour for your nameplate and map blip, it also increases the range you need without cops around you to lose this wanted level. This wanted level also spawns AI cops around the location of your last crime if you didn't leave the area, and sometimes randomly on the map.
It also makes it impossible to bribe a police officer or turn yourself in at a Police Department.

¶ Lose your wanted level
There are multiple ways of losing your wanted levels :
¶ Vanishing
“Vanishing” is the act of staying away from cops long enough to slowly lose your wanted level. The more stars you have, the longer it will take for them to vanish especially for the most wanted level.
To effectively vanish, you must have no police officers around a radius of ≈1km for 2★ to 4★ criminals, and ≈2km to 3km for 5★ most wanted criminals.
- 2★ : 1 minute of waiting
- 3★ : 1 minute and 30 seconds of waiting
- 4★ : 2 minutes of waiting
- 5★ : 5 to 10 minutes of waiting (depends on how many Police Officers are active)
Once you start vanishing, your last obtained ★ will start blinking slowly, and will blink faster and faster the more you wait until you eventually lose it.
¶ Getting arrested
Once you get a wanted level, police officers can cuff and arrest you.
Once you are arrested, a police officer can either call a “quick arrest” which will call an AI cop car that will take and escort you to prison, or they can bring you to a police station themselves by putting you in the back of their duty vehicle.
Once arrested, you will be teleported to a random police department (not too far from where you are), and you will pay a “bail” fee depending on what wanted level you had.
¶ Lock-picking
If there are no nearby cops, you can use lock-picks (sold at convenience stores 
or by mechanic players) to free yourself from your cuffs.
To do this, either go to your inventory (using F2 or through the M menu) → tools → lock-picks then press Enter to use them. You can also use the /use lockpick command in chat.
If there is an officer nearby, you cannot use lock-picks as they are watching you.
If another criminal has some lock-picks, they can get close to you, press E to open the interaction menu, then press “use lock-pick" to free you, even if police officers are around and watching you (/use lockpick also works in this case).
Your friend will also get the ”harboring a criminal" felony and get a wanted level for doing this.
¶ Resisting arrest
During the cuffing process, you can try to resist the arrest by clicking as fast as you can on left mouse click (fire button by default) : a successful attempt will trigger a shaking-off animation and will ragdoll the cuffing police officer, giving you a bit of time to get away or fight back, with the cost of receiving a higher wanted level.
You can only resist arrest once every ≈20s, and it also has a low chance of failing (the more you click, the less the chance of failing).
¶ Bribing a police officer
You can give cash to a police officer to lose your wanted level, at the cost of an XP loss for them : it is entirely up to the police officer to either accept or refuse the bribe offer depending on how the arrest went and how much money you're willing to give them. It's a pretty good strategy to use if you have some illegal items on you (ATMs devices, illegal ammo, etc) that you don't want to lose or if you don't want to go through the hassle of waiting for an arrest.
- While uncuffed, get close to a police officer and press E then go to “Send a bribe offer” with the amount of money you want to offer.
- When you are cuffed press E to a nearby police officer then choose the amount of money you want to give as a bribe offer.
- Press Y if a cop sends you a bribe offer while you are cuffed.
If a police officer refuses your bribe offer, you will get an “Attempted bribery” felony, which will give you one more wanted level until 4★ (cannot raise higher than 4★ with this felony) and you will be unable to send a bribe offer to that cop again until you're arrested.
The money you can give to a police officer depends on how high your wanted level is :
- 2★ : between $5,000 to $100,000
- 3★ : between $10,000 to $250,000
- 4★ : between $15,000 to $500,000
There are cases in which you cannot bribe officers :
- If you are a 5★ most wanted criminal.
- If you already bribed the same officer less than 10 minutes ago.
- If you got revived by an paramedic while near a police officer.
¶ Turning yourself in
If there are no police officers around a Police Department 
, you can turn yourself in by speaking to the Police NPC inside / in front of the Department. You will only have to pay a bail fee which depends on the wanted level you had before turning yourself in.
¶ Getting killed
When you are killed by any means, you will lose your wanted level every time : you will have to pay for your medical fees and on top of this you will have to pay the “bail” fee, even if you respawn at the hospital (or mod shop for mechanics)
¶ Clothes & customisation
After creating your character when joining the server, there are multiple ways of customising the appearance of your playable character, as long as you have the money for it.
¶ Wardrobe
For every customisation item you buy, you can change them by accessing the wardrobe in the player menu. To do so, open the menu by pressing M then go to Wardrobe.
Once there you can browse every layer of clothing to make your changes, and if needed to unequip a layer of clothing press TAB while hovering over it.
¶ Clothing & accessories
Most clothing & accessories are available for everyone, although some of them are locked behind Silver and Gold memberships.
- Clothes stores
: You will find most of the civilian clothing at the clothes stores, in which you will be able to buy almost every layer of clothing and some pre-made outfits. - Jewellery store
: You can buy most accessories (watches, chains, backpack, etc) at the jewellery store in Rockford Hills. - Convenience stores : You can buy some T-shirts, masks and accessories.
- Ammu-nation
: You can buy some hunting and patriotic clothes and accessories. - Hacker
: You can buy some masks and some unique hoodies.
¶ Barber shop
You can change your haircut and facial hair at the barber shop 
: once a haircut has been bought, you can change it anytime on the wardrobe, there is no need to go to a barber shop every time for it unless you want to buy a new one.
¶ Plastic Surgery
You can go to a Hospital 
to request a plastic surgery at the hospital NPC in order to change your appearance again just like when you created your character : you will need a “Plastic Surgery Token” in order to do this, which is available on the CNR shop or tradeable with other players (one untradeable token is given for free when you first join the server)
¶ Consumables & weapons
¶ Weapons
Most weapons can be bought at a gun store (Ammu-nation ) with their ammo, although some of them can be bought in some regular stores. Most of the weapons come with some additional customisations like accessories, special ammo or skins.
For more information about this, check this page : Weapons
¶ Illegal weapons & ammo
Criminals can buy some illegal, unique weapons at the illegal gun store 
, at the risk of them being seized by police officers if they get arrested. There are also 2 unique and powerful kinds of special ammo sold there for some weapons :
- AP rounds → pierce the armor of other players, hurting both their armor and their health at the same time
- Fire rounds → Has a % of chance to light the other players on fire, preventing them from shooting back or using items while they're lit on fire.
For more information about this, check this page : Weapons

¶ Properties
Civilian and all other related jobs can buy some properties, such as a warehouse to store items of all kinds, or garages to store personal vehicles after buying them.
