🤝 Interactions
Interacting with the world around you is a major part of your in-city experience. Whether you’re dealing with another player, working with vehicles, or accessing objects around the map, knowing how to interact is essential to fluid and immersive gameplay.
👤 Player Interactions
You can interact with other players in a variety of ways—from giving items, shaking hands, to helping them up when injured. Most of these options are accessible via the third-eye system (Left Alt).
🤖 NPC Interactions
Many systems use NPCs (non-player characters) to trigger jobs, purchases, or quests. These are typically interacted with via third-eye and will be clearly marked or located at business/job hubs.
🚗 Vehicle Interactions
From locking/unlocking to opening trunks and attaching trailers, vehicle interaction is key in many jobs and situations. Always use the third-eye (Left Alt) when near a vehicle for access to its features.
📦 Object Interactions
This includes lootable crates, job props, workbenches, storage chests, and more. If it’s interactable, your third-eye will pick it up when close. Some objects might require certain items or job roles to use.
