Working as a paramedic

Everything you need to know to work as a paramedic!

Weapon restriction

As you are meant to rescue & save people instead of hurting them, as a paramedic you are restricted to only a few kind of weapons for Self-Defense or Defense of others in case of emergency:

• Handguns
• SMGs
• Melee weapons

All other weapons cannot be purchased from guns stores.

Uniforms

You can find a variety of EMS Uniforms on CNRV and experiment with them to create your best looking savior outfit!

You can also find some other accessories for your outfits by going at :

All clothes and accessories will appear in your Wardrobe: you need to press M / hold and then go to 👕 Wardrobe to access them.

Note

Some crews/players have specific outfits, which are reserved for them, check out Crews & Memberships for more information.

Emergency vehicles

In the parking of every Hospital you can find some paramedic vehicles you can borrow to go respond to emergency calls:

Those vehicles are standard issue vehicles for EMS and are not very resistant or fast.

Some hospitals also have a Job Dealership in which you can buy your own emergency vehicles if you have the money and level for it!

Check out the Personal Vehicles page for more information.

Note

Some crews/players have specific liveries reserved for them, check out Crews & Memberships for more information.

Responding to emergency calls

Everytime someone call 911, you’ll receive an alert giving you some information like:

Radio

You have access to a radio which allow you to speak with other Paramedics and Police Officers.

You can access this menu via your job menu (M / hold → Job menu) or with the /radio command.

You can turn the radio on/off and select the volume of the radio inside this menu.

Paramedics rules

Rules about paramedics changed on October 2024, paramedics are now:

• allowed to attack first criminals who would be a threat to them in case they went for a revive/heal.
• allowed to act in self-defense, defense of other paramedics, cops and innocent civilians.
• allowed to chase suspects with cops (paramedics can only shoot if the threat is still active). Additionnaly, criminals are now allowed to attack paramedics who are getting too close (assault rifle range) and there are opponents or enemies to revive in the area.

You can find the full rules on the CNRV website.

Tips & Tricks

• Play with Police Officers: you can ride with them in their patrol, so long as you are:

  • Not driving their patrol vehicle.
  • Not helping them arrest a criminal.
  • Following the paramedic rules.

• Park your ambulance in a way that it can be used as cover in case of an attack: after they aim or shoot at you, leave the ambulance and fire back.

• Buy some weapons to defend yourself: Although most of the time you will be protected thanks to police officers, sometimes you will be left alone or vulnerable in some emergency situations: even if your selection of weapons is weak, it’s still better to defend yourself than letting yourself be killed!

• Communication is key so cooperate with cops: stay around cops that seem to pursue a dangerous individual, heal them when you can and when they need it and let them do their job while staying close and being supportive.

• Try to play with other medics when you can: sure, you won’t make as much money as if you had the monopoly on every revive and heal, but at least you can act quickly and go from one scene to another if you have help with you.
