You spawned at LSIA — Los Santos International Airport. Right outside the terminal is a bike rack. The first move is to rent a bike there and head into the city.
First steps (in order)
- Rent a bike at the LSIA rack (free for new players — one shot).
- Ride to any Fleeca branch and open a bank account. You start with $300 wallet cash; the bank gives a $1,000 signup bonus.
- Head to the Driving School. B-class exam costs $500 — you can afford it now, and it takes card or cash.
- Pick up a phone at LS Electronics in the city. The ENEMY Lite is $150 and does the job.
- You're free. Pick a job, commit crimes, buy a house — your character, your call.
The one control to learn first
Hold LEFT ALT, aim the crosshair at a car / person / door / shop counter, and LEFT-CLICK the action you want — then release ALT. That single control covers almost everything: renting that first bike, pumping fuel, signing up for jobs, robbing a till. Full rundown: /guide interaction.
Help while you play
Use /guide any time to open this panel. /guide <topic> jumps to a specific article (e.g. /guide banking). F1 also opens the panel — it works from the moment you spawn, no phone required.
If you can't find an answer here, /ask <question> sends it to staff — they'll answer when they're around.
