Beginner guide · first steps in the underworld
You begin with limited resources and build your criminal empire step by step. This guide explains how money, HEAT, travel, vehicles, the arena and gangs work together.
Step 1
Do not try to master everything immediately. Explore your city, read the available guidance and use simple market and travel decisions to build your first resources.
Step 2
The underground market is an important starting point. Buy goods at a low price, sell them for more and check whether the route is worth the risk and travel time.
Step 3
HEAT represents attention from the authorities. Higher HEAT can make controls, travel and business more dangerous, so timing can be more important than speed.
Step 4
Travel connects cities and countries. Before leaving, check your destination, vehicle, cargo and HEAT. Different routes can offer different opportunities and risks.
Step 5
Vehicles are more than transportation. They occupy parking spaces, carry goods, accumulate mileage and lose condition through use.
Step 6
The arena provides a different and risky use for vehicles. An arena vehicle should be treated as a deliberate commitment rather than an ordinary transport vehicle.
Step 7
Gangs connect players and make shared goals, activity and rankings more meaningful. An active gang can make the early game easier to understand.
Step 8
The best approach is a calm start: register for free, test the first actions, read the explanations and learn one system at a time.
