How do I join?
Install FiveM, join our Discord and connect to the server. The three steps are on the Get started page.
Do I need to buy anything?
You need Grand Theft Auto V on your PC. FiveM itself is free.
When does the server open?
Pelican Beach is in development. Follow the Discord and the news to hear about the opening first.
Is there a whitelist?
If we open a whitelist, the application and the answer will be posted in our Discord and on the news page.
How do I create a character?
The character screen opens when you connect. Pick a character or create a new one. Every new character gets a free starter apartment.
Which keys do I need?
Tab is your inventory, M your phone, F6 your pad, F9 the guide and hold Left Alt for the third eye. In a vehicle: G engine, L lock, H search for keys and B seat belt. The full list is in the guide.
How do I open the pad?
Press F6. The pad has the car market, your homes, your skills and your money, and the Website app shows this site inside the game.
Is there a guide in the game?
Yes. Press F9, or type /guide, to open the server guide.
How does voice chat work?
Voice chat works by distance. Whisper, talk normally or shout, and the people close to you hear you. Check that your microphone works before you play.
How do I get a job?
Visit City Hall and pick a job. Towing you can start without being hired, and mechanics are hired by the boss of the workshop. Read more in the jobs guide.
How do I get paid?
Pay goes into your bank account. Your account also earns interest once a day, so leave some money in the bank.
How does trucking pay?
You are paid for the distance of the route, and heavier loads pay more per kilometre. Bonuses come for jobs in a row and for clean driving. See trucking.
How do I level up?
Every activity gives experience. When you level up you earn skill points that you spend in the skill trees on your pad. See skill trees.
How do I buy a car?
Open your pad with F6 and the Autohub, the car market. You can take a test drive before you decide.
I lost the keys to my car.
If the car is yours, you have the keys. Press H to search for the keys if you do not have them, and L to lock and unlock.
Do cars need a service?
Yes, every 150 km. An overdue car loses engine power, and the mechanics do the service.
How do I get a home?
Every character starts with a free starter apartment. Open the Homes app on your pad to find a home of your own, and preview it before you buy. You can own up to three homes.
Where are the rules?
On the Rules page. The rules are a draft, and we will keep working on them.
How do I report a player or a bug?
Open a ticket in our Discord. Add the names, the time, what happened and, if you can, a clip.
Can I stream or record?
Yes, but do not use a stream to find other players (stream sniping). Do not show private chats or staff talk.
What happens if someone cheats?
Cheats and hacks are logged and lead to a ban.
The game crashes or will not connect.
Restart FiveM and try again. If it keeps happening, ask for help in the Discord and write what you see on the screen.
Do I need a strong PC?
FiveM needs a PC that runs Grand Theft Auto V well. There is no console version.
Does the website work on my phone?
Yes. The site is made for both computers and phones.
Who runs the server?
A small team of staff. Do you want to help? We are looking for staff, a police chief and shop owners. See Join the team.
Can I run a business?
Yes. We are looking for shop owners, starting with car workshops. Read Become a shop owner.
Is there an ambulance service?
Not yet. An ambulance service and a hospital are coming. See Ambulance & hospital.
