Vito's tutorial

How it works#

Right after the intro, Vito texts you. The current step shows at the top right of the screen, and every step you clear pays out with a new message explaining what's next.

• /tutorial (or /parcours) opens the list: steps done, rewards, and Enter on a step sets the GPS to the nearest spot.
• F5 (or /mission) opens the detailed sheet: what to do, how, and the traps.
• You can hide the label, rewatch the intro, quit and pick it back up later: whatever's done stays done.
• Been in town for ages? You can still start it with /tutorial.

The steps#

1. Take out your phone · +$250Up arrow. Everything goes through it: hits, gangs, GPS.
2. Rob a corner store · +$1,000Gun out, aim at the cashier. The longer you stay, the bigger the bag.
3. Lose the cops · +$500Get out of the search area without being seen, or hide.
4. Put your cash somewhere safe · +$500When you die, your cash drops. Deposit it at the bank, or with the launderer (pricier, never any cops).
5. Sell a car to the chop shop · +$1,500Steal a car (jack a driver, or force a door) and deliver it to the mechanic.
6. Get Vito's car resprayedBehind the wheel, head to the illegal garage: the respray is on the house.
7. Park your car in a public garage · +$500Pull up at a public garage: your cars stay safe there, take them out whenever you want.
8. Sell dope on the street · +$1,500Buy stock from the supplier, then offer it to passers-by, empty-handed.
9. Reach rep level 2 · +$3,000Every job levels you up. The Contracts app on your phone gives you extra work.

Vito's car step doesn't pay in cash: the car itself is the gift. He spots an old one parked by the road not far from you (purple marker), you steal it, and the illegal garage resprays it for free. It becomes yours, with new plates. It's the only car that gets resprayed without paying.

The traps#

• Rewards are paid in cash. Die before you hit the bank and they end up in the bag on the ground. Do the bank step early.
• Losing the cops only counts after a store robbery, and only if you get away alive and free. Dead or arrested, you have to get spotted again.
• Public garage: to start with, you get 1 spot per public car park. For more, you need a garage of your own.
• The level step asks for reputation level 2. The Contracts app on your phone has well-paid work. Your progress is on the Reputation page.

Once you're done, Vito cuts you loose: gang, contracts, crew heists, an apartment. Go make a name for yourself.
