What are nerve, focus, wit and energy?
These are your resources. Actions spend them and they refill over time.
- Nerve pays for crimes and jail jobs.
- Focus pays for car theft (GTA).
- Wit pays for heists.
- Energy pays for training in the gym. A set costs 10 energy before discounts.
Nerve, focus and wit
Energy is separate and is shown in the gym. Items, gear and Premium can raise the max or the refill rate. The resource bar on each action page shows your current amount.
| Start | Max | Refill | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nerve | 60 | 100 | 1 per minute |
| Focus | 60 | 100 | 1 per minute |
| Wit | 60 | 100 | 1 per minute |
What should I do first?
- Open Crime and choose Break Into Cars. It is open from rank 1.
- Tap Search Street. It costs 2 nerve and shows 3–6 cars.
- Attempt an easy car first. It costs 2 nerve and has the best success chance.
- A failure can jail you only once you have a wanted star. Read Wanted level and jail.
How do I rank up?
- Your rank progress is the percentage shown on the top bar. When it reaches 100%, you rank up.
- Crimes, car theft, heists and other actions all add to it.
- Rank unlocks new crimes and features. A locked page shows the rank it needs.
Where do I get help?
- Open Help from the menu for every article. You can search them.
- Most pages have a ? button in the header. It shows help for that page, links to articles and a Get help button.
- If the ? is missing, turn on Help information in your preferences.
Tips
- A new character has 6 days of protection, or 15 days for your first.
- Resources refill while you are away, up to the max. Spend them before they cap.
- Each crime has its own article in Help. Read it before a long run.
