City Updates

The city changes most weeks.

This is everything that's landed, dated and in order — the good stuff and the honest heads-ups. If you want to know whether a server is actually being worked on, this is the page to read.

Whitelisting is instant now

The written application is gone

  • Getting whitelisted no longer means writing anything. Join the Discord, verify you're human, read the rules and add the reaction at the bottom of them — the whitelist role lands on you straight away.
  • No application, no queue, and no staff member to wait on. It takes about two minutes, and it costs nothing.
  • We're still whitelisted. The reaction is a real agreement to the rules, and it's what lets staff deal with someone cleanly when they break them.
  • Why: the application was doing more to keep good people standing at the door than it was to keep bad ones out. The rules, the 18+ line and the moderation behind them haven't moved an inch.
  • Already whitelisted? Nothing changes for you, and nothing about your character or progress is affected.

The doors are open

Uncharted RP is live

  • As of 7:00 PM ET on 12 September the city is open to everyone. No more founder window, and no more waiting on a date.
  • Whitelisting is now a written character application — join the Discord, get verified, read the rules, and tell us who you want to be in Los Santos. A real person reads it, and if something's missing we'll usually come back and ask rather than turn you away. (Superseded on 17 September — the application has been dropped and whitelisting is instant.)
  • Everyone who joined before tonight keeps the Founder role permanently. It is never handed out again.

The economy has reset

  • Money and progress are back to zero for everyone, so nobody arrives at opening night with a pre-launch fortune.
  • Your characters are untouched. Names, appearance and everything that makes them yours carried straight over.
  • We've rebalanced the economy from the ground up, and starting everyone level was the only fair way to bring that in.
  • Referral rewards are the one exception — both the vehicles and the cash come back, and you claim them on whichever character you choose.

If tonight gets bumpy

  • Opening night on a new city means queues, and it means we find the things that only break with a crowd standing on them.
  • If something's wrong, open a ticket rather than assuming we've already seen it — tell us where you were and what you were doing.
  • Everything that lands gets written up here, the same as it has every week since July.

Paleto went back, and the karts came out

The phone is new. Again.

  • We replaced the phone on 4 September — a different phone, top to bottom. It still opens with M.
  • Clean slate: contacts, messages, photos and numbers all start fresh.
  • We're still pre-launch, so nothing you were carrying was going to survive to opening night regardless.
  • The old phone leaned on an outside service we didn't control and couldn't fix. Days out from launch, that wasn't a risk worth carrying.

Paleto Bay has rolled back

  • The rebuilt Paleto Bay is out. The town is back to the version you knew before it, sheriff station included.
  • It came out while we were hunting the fault where buildings and props loaded in as smooth grey blobs — Paleto's rebuild was the single heaviest thing in the city, so it was the obvious thing to lift first.
  • The actual culprit turned out to be something else: a batch of props whose definitions were quietly pointing at the wrong textures, right across the map. That's been corrected, and since then nobody has hit the grey blobs — not us, not any of you.
  • If it does turn up for you, still tell us where you were and how long you'd been driving. And if it's only happening to you, clear your game cache first — that caught one of ours.

The kart track is open

  • LS Karting is wired up properly now.
  • Pull a kart or a car from the marker and just drive.
  • Want a real race? Third-eye the start line and set one up.
  • Drive off the block and you'll be put back at the start, so nobody wanders off mid-race.

City services and the job centre have moved

  • Both now live at the Courthouse — and the Courthouse is on your map.
  • IDs, licences and job sign-ups all in the one place.
  • The public records clerk was already there.

New characters start somewhere sensible

  • Finish making a character and you'll now start at your apartment lobby, instead of stood on the pier wondering which way is town.

Armed vehicles are off the lot

  • 65 vehicles carrying mounted weapons have come out of everything you can buy.
  • If it has a gun bolted to it, it isn't for sale. That's the rule now.

Drinks actually do something

  • Alcohol had no effect on the drinker at all — a breathalyser could catch you out, but you never felt a thing.
  • Drink enough and you'll see it in how you walk and how steady the camera sits.
  • It builds in stages, and it wears off on its own.
  • Kitchen ingredients that did nothing when you used them are behaving too.

Around the city

  • The Vanilla Unicorn has its interior back.
  • No more random traffic parked up inside the Premium Deluxe Motorsport showroom.
  • Map markers tidied — a vape store nobody runs, a closed 24/7, and an LS Customs lot that had no shop but was still quietly taking your money.
  • Wild mushrooms have lost their map markers. They're still out there. Go find them.

Under the hood

  • A lot of map weight came out this week — and a fair bit went back in once we'd proven it was innocent.
  • More security and stability work, as always.
  • Thank you for the reports — the people who drove laps for us on the grey-blob hunt are the reason we found it.

The dealership went home, and two shops didn't make it

Car sales are back at PDM

  • The dealership has moved back to Premium Deluxe Motorsport, on the lot you already know.
  • Same showroom, same test drives, same finance — just at the right address.
  • Your new car is handed over out on the forecourt.

Two closures, and the honest reason for both

  • Rideout Customs has closed. The building it lived in was tearing grey holes in the roads across Alta, Hawick and Vinewood, and there was no way to keep the shop without keeping the damage. That's a genuinely rubbish outcome for the two owners who surveyed that entire shop themselves, and we're sorry.
  • Up-N-Atom in Grapeseed has gone too. On 30 August we told you it was untouched and still hiring. That isn't true any more and we're not going to quietly let it slide — it went the same way as Cluckin' Bell: built, never finished, nobody ever employed there.
  • LS Customs at Burton and Mosleys Auto in Sandy Shores are both open and both hiring.
  • The flat grey bands cutting across the road through Alta, Hawick and Vinewood Boulevard are gone with it. That was Rideout, and it's why the shop had to go.

Seatbelts

  • Your belt lives on the HUD now — there's a belt icon, and an unbelted chime you can turn on or off in HUD settings.
  • And yes: if the belt ever flat refused to let you out of the car, and you ended up mashing B and F together to escape, that's fixed. That one was ours.
  • Pile into something at speed without it and you'll still go through the windscreen.

Fire Rescue at Central, and the Rangers moved out

  • Fire and EMS have a fleet garage inside Central Hospital, plus the first SAFR helipad on the server. The helicopter comes out properly marked, and it'll actually let you put it away again.
  • San Andreas Rangers now work entirely out of SAR North — armoury, lockers, evidence, clothing and all three garages. Beaver Bush is closed. Clock on with F10, same as the Sheriff's Office.

Vangelico runs end to end

  • The Vangelico job now runs start to finish. It genuinely never could before.
  • Two bits of it are new enough that nobody has tested them in anger, so tell us if something stalls.

Smaller things

  • Two new buildings went up, including a ranch out in the hills west of the city that wasn't there last week.
  • Take a fleet vehicle to a public garage and it now tells you to return it to a department garage, instead of tipping you out of the seat and failing.
  • A lot of map weight came out this week, so the city loads lighter.

Seventy-four new front doors, and a shop full of dogs

Go and get a dog

  • A pet shop has opened out in Harmony, off Route 68. The animals are right there on the floor with a price on each one — walk up and pick.
  • Eleven breeds on the shop floor, from a $500 hen up to a $15,000 dog you'll definitely recognise.
  • Pets get hungry and thirsty, so the same shop stocks food, water bottles, first aid, grooming kits, collars, name tags and dog houses.
  • Your pet levels up the longer it's out with you, and it'll ride along in your car.
  • Place a dog house and two grown pets might just hand you a puppy.
  • And there are strays out there living rough. Feed one enough times and it'll follow you home.

74 new places to live

  • Sandy Shores Motel — 40 units, $50,000 each.
  • The Starlight Motel in East Vinewood — 30 rooms, $75,000 each.
  • Four condos up at the Town Resort & Casino — $150,000.
  • All of them unowned, purchasable and on the market as of now.
  • Straight with you: these went in as one big batch and only a handful have actually been walked through. If a door won't open or you end up somewhere you shouldn't be, drop it in Discord rather than writing the place off — we'll get it sorted.

A board shop on the boardwalk

  • Vespucci Beach now has somewhere to buy a skateboard — $2,500 and the deck is yours for keeps.
  • Use it to hop on, use it again to step off. WASD to move, hold space to jump.

Pet supplies for your place

  • A new furniture category for anyone decorating — 80 pet props: beds, bowls, toys, feeding stations, shelving.
  • Heads-up: the preview pictures are placeholders for now, so go by the names until we've shot proper ones.

Fire Rescue fleet garages

  • Fire crews have their own fleet garages at the Davis and Sandy Shores stations — engines and ambulances both, issued clean and ready to go.
  • If the Sandy Shores attendant is standing somewhere daft, say so. That spot hasn't been checked on foot yet.
  • Behind it all, the server is running on a newer build with a full cache rebuild.

Rob a place now and the whole block sees it

A job in progress is public

  • A job used to exist only for the crew running it — everyone else walked into an untouched building.
  • Blown doors, breached walls and live laser grids now show up for anyone standing there, bystanders and responding deputies included.
  • The wreckage sticks around for ten minutes after the crew is gone, so police who turn up late still find the scene.

The beams don't check your badge

  • Those laser grids kill on contact, and that now applies to everyone — not just the people robbing the place.
  • If you're rolling up on a job in progress, look before you walk through a doorway.

Sealed until someone blows it

  • Heist buildings now stay properly locked until a crew actually breaches them.
  • No more wandering in a side door and clearing the place out while the crew is still working the front.
  • Public doors stay public — a bank lobby is still a bank lobby.

Fixed on the job

  • "I'm right on top of them and my bullets do nothing" was real. Guards were spawning stacked inside one another, so your shot was hitting a body you couldn't see. Sorted.
  • The drill no longer cuts to silence after the first burst — it runs the whole way through.
  • Gather-point prompts stopped reaching you from across the room and through walls.

Two things worth knowing when something looks broken

  • HUD gone mid-session? Type /hudreload and it comes straight back. No relog needed.
  • Building loading as a flat grey shell with props floating in mid-air? Clear your FiveM cache and rejoin. That's a half-finished download on your end, not a broken build — a clean cache fixes it outright.

Around the map

  • The pause map had gone blurry and took the postal numbers with it — back to full sharpness.
  • Paleto Bay is on a newer version of its rebuild, with another pass over lighting and detail. Sandy Marina got a collision pass, so there are fewer places to snag on nothing.
  • Mini golf has changed hands. The pier course now runs on the system built by the course's own author. The old /golf commands are retired — head to the pro shop and start your round from there.
  • Cluckin' Bell at Rockford has closed. Straight with you on this one: it opened back in August and then never actually got finished. No working menu, no orders ever placed, nobody on the payroll. Rather than leave a dead storefront sitting on the map, we've taken it back out.
  • Crime

Nobody had ever opened the Bobcat vault

The Bobcat Security Depot

  • A full multi-stage score, playable start to finish.
  • Blow the front doors, burn through the lobby, drill the corridor, then blast your way onto the depot floor.
  • Bring C4, thermite and a drill — and someone who knows what to do with a trojan USB.
  • Wipe the camera console before you even think about the vault.
  • Gold bars and stacked cash waiting behind the door.

Watch the beams

  • The depot's laser grids are live, and they are not a warning system. Walk into one and you are not walking back out.
  • Find the control panels and cut the grids first. That is the whole job right there.

They stay put until you don't

  • Bobcat's guards hold their posts until you blow that first door.
  • After that they come awake one at a time, and you will never know which one is next.
  • Push it far enough and the company sends its own armed response after you.

Elsewhere in the city

  • The vineyard is picking again. Every vine was sitting just out of reach; the grapes can be harvested once more, which means the whole grape → juice → wine chain is open for business.
  • Diving gear on the beachfront. A vendor has set up shop near the Del Perro pier — grab an oxygen mask and a diving suit, then take your coral up the beach to sell.
  • Trucking rentals, sorted. Hand a rented rig back to the depot attendant when the run's done, and a destroyed rental no longer locks you out of your next contract.
  • Going down while in a wheelchair no longer leaves you welded to it.

  • Activities

The arcade reopened, and the car that kept vanishing won't

Pixel Pete's is open again

  • The arcade at Vespucci Beach is back — screens, cabinets, attendant, the lot.
  • You can still cash tickets in at Sandy Marina and Vespucci Pier as well, so nothing you've been saving is stranded.

The vanishing car

  • Buy a car and it could end up filed nowhere at all — every garage told you it was parked somewhere else, and the transfer told you it was out in the world. Nothing but a restart could break the loop.
  • That's fixed at the root, and everywhere a car gets handed to you: the used-car lot, the dealership, VIP, and the casino podium.

Back at the mechanic, again

  • Engine swaps are gone. The V6, V8 and V12 blocks that arrived on 3 August have been removed, and the bench no longer crafts them.
  • Everything else from that update stands. Aftermarket parts still come back off and revert to stock, and the per-class performance ladder is unchanged — a fully-upgraded car still tops out near what its class should do.

Paleto Bank, proven

  • The big one up north has now been run start to finish by two people who'd never touched it before.
  • That's three jobs proven end to end. More on the way.

Boats anchor

  • Press H in a boat's driver seat to drop anchor, or type /anchor.
  • It holds when you get out, so you can dive, fish, or just sit on the roof and watch the sun go down.
  • It won't drop at speed — this is an anchor, not a handbrake.

Things that had quietly been wrong

  • Bumper cars. Pay for a ride and the car actually starts now, instead of needing someone to fix it first. And there's a fence around that stage for a reason — drive off it and you'll find yourself back at the start.
  • Cola, wine and tacos were decorative. They aren't any more. Wine drinks like a proper drink, too, somewhere between a beer and the hard stuff.
  • The lockpick recipe on those old workbenches asked for an ingredient that doesn't exist anywhere in the city, so it could never be made. Those benches are gone — make it at the real crafting benches instead.
  • The car wash, the coral buyer and Larry's used-car lot out in Sandy Shores were all quietly running on the old E-key system by mistake. All three are on the third eye now, which also kills that "the car wash isn't available" message that had been following people around half the map.
  • Searching someone shows the tells again — red knuckles, wide pupils, the smell of cannabis. That had been failing silently every single time, so if a search has ever come back suspiciously clean, that's why.
  • Crime
  • Law & rescue
  • Work
  • Vehicles

Two jobs that never finished now do

The Fleeca job and the trap house work

  • Both run start to finish — the doors, the drills, the vault, the haul.
  • These are the first two we've proven end to end, so if either one used to dead-end on you, go and try it again.
  • Loot that used to hang in mid-air now sits where it should — and that fix covers every job, not just these two.
  • The trap house has more than one way in. Bring the right tool.

You can steer in the air again

  • Mid-air control on cars had been switched off this whole time, and it turned out that was never a choice anyone here made — it came with something we were running.
  • Pitch and roll are back over jumps and ramps.
  • Righting a flipped car by mashing the steering keys is still off, and that one's staying off.

Law enforcement — read this one properly

  • 10-99 has changed meaning. It is reckless driving now, not officer down. Officer down is 10-13A / 10-13B / 10-13C. Most dispatch alerts had been calling the wrong code entirely and now match the sheet, so re-read it before you call one in.
  • The radar remote has moved to F3. If you've used it before, the game keeps your old key — rebind it by hand under Settings → Key Bindings → FiveM → "Open Remote Control".
  • Callsign digits and unit tags — S.W.A.T., Command, Supervisor — are set at the station.
  • Lights and sirens across the emergency fleet got a full pass.

At work

  • Discounts at the register. Restaurant staff can take money off an order at the POS, either a percentage or a flat amount — comp a meal, run a happy hour, look after a regular. Self-checkout doesn't do discounts; for that you order from an actual person.
  • Trucking. Rigs hand you the keys properly now, you can put a truck away at the depot instead of leaving it parked forever, and there are actually contracts on the board. The board had been empty.
  • Mining. Buying a mining tool was taking your money and handing you nothing. That's fixed, your tool now equips itself when you get to work, and the panning item is in.

The phone lost two apps

  • The video and music apps have been removed from the phone. We're not able to keep them — that one genuinely wasn't our call, and we're sorry.
  • A phone game that had stopped loading a while back has been delisted.

Smaller things

  • The casino podium car and the attendant behind the counter are back where they belong.
  • Medical items now refuse while you've got a gun in your hands, and bandages and IFAKs use a proper medic animation.
  • Name tags stay readable from a lot further away.
  • The radio tells you when you haven't got a radio, instead of quietly doing nothing.
  • Crime
  • Activities
  • Quality of life

Laundering got riskier, and crews can change hands

The laundering van is your problem now

  • The van no longer vanishes when the cash is clean — you have to drive it back to the yard yourself.
  • Ditch it, wreck it, or log off with it and it's a 10% cut of whatever you cleaned.
  • You'll get a warning before that lands, so leaving it is a choice and not an ambush.
  • However you lose the van, it's only ever charged once.

Crews can change hands

  • A Boss can now hand the whole crew over to another member.
  • The outgoing Boss stays on as Underboss rather than getting dumped out of their own crew.
  • They have to be online to take it — you can't sign the city over to someone who's asleep.

Crew roster

  • See everyone in your crew, including the ones who aren't online, and how long it's been since each member was last seen.
  • Boss and Underboss can set ranks — and it now works on members who are offline.

Deep water is open

  • The fishing grounds are dramatically bigger — the good water is no longer a thin strip along the shore.
  • Take a boat out properly and you'll still be in a real fishing zone.

Pixel Pete's closed for repairs

  • The arcade is shut while we chase down a crash. Your tickets are completely safe.
  • The attendants at Sandy Marina and Vespucci Pier can now redeem prizes, not just sell tokens, and every machine out at Sandy and the Pier is still running.

Fixed

  • Being stuck in an empty city — no cars, no people, nothing you touched doing anything — is fixed. If it ever happens again it now heals itself.
  • A couple of houses weren't being offered as a spawn point to the people who own them.
  • Robbing a store register that wasn't quite where it looked.
  • Getting stuck inside a house you'd broken into, with no way back out.
  • Respraying at the Los Santos Customs helicopter bay.
  • Vehicles
  • Quality of life

Your cars live where you park them

Your cars live where you park them

  • Every garage used to hand you every car you owned, wherever you'd actually left it. Garages didn't really mean anything.
  • Now a car comes out of the garage you parked it in.
  • You'll still see your whole list at every garage — that's deliberate, it's how you find where something is. You just can't pull it out from anywhere any more.

Moving a car between garages — $500

  • One of you asked for this directly. It's in.
  • Open the car you want, hit Transfer, and it comes to the garage you're standing in for $500 from your bank. Then take it out normally.
  • Public garages and your own house garage. Not department fleet garages.
  • A car that's out in the world can't be transferred — park it somewhere first.

Leave one out and it comes back — $500

  • Cars used to respawn in the street after a restart, and if one ever failed to come back it was simply gone until someone repaired it by hand.
  • That's finished. Anything left out is put back in a garage where you can collect it, for $500 from your bank.
  • That's two new charges at once, and they're deliberate. They exist so cars stop littering the map and stop vanishing. Park properly and you'll never pay either one.

The garage screen is new

  • Search by vehicle name or plate, which starts mattering once you own more than about six.
  • Every car shows plate, fuel, engine and body at a glance, and opening one gives you the rest.
  • While we were in there: engine and body condition had been showing each other's numbers. Every reading you have ever seen in a garage was the wrong one of the two. Fixed.

Impound means something now

  • An officer can hold a seized vehicle until a set time.
  • Wait the hold out and you collect it yourself at the impound, paying whatever the officer set.
  • Before that, only an on-duty deputy or ranger standing at the lot can release it early.
  • Seized cars had also been quietly finding their own way home at the next restart. They don't any more.

Things that were quietly broken

  • Planting. If you ever planted a crop and watched it die on the spot, that wasn't you doing it wrong — crops were being planted dead, every time, for everyone, since the day it went in. Plant, water, fertilise, and it grows now. Walk off and ignore it and it'll be gone in about fifteen minutes.
  • Growing weed took two days. Not an exaggeration — seed to harvest was roughly forty-eight real hours. It's about thirty minutes now if you look after the plant. Weed wants water as well as nutrition, and the floating label is back, so you can see growth, hunger and thirst at a glance.
  • The bill you couldn't pay. Taking an aftermarket part back off is free, but the shop still raised a bill for zero — and a zero bill couldn't be paid or dismissed. Free work doesn't raise a bill at all now.
  • The LS Customs helipad. Helicopters pulled from the rooftop garage were coming out in the repair bay, on top of whatever job was in progress. They spawn on the actual pad now.
  • Vehicles
  • Crime
  • Law & rescue

A second custom shop, and money that needs washing

Two custom shops now

  • Rideout Customs has opened as a second player-run shop — thirteen bays, and it's hiring.
  • Paint works differently: order your colour at any bay, but it only goes on inside a paint booth.
  • The helicopter bay at LS Customs has a working menu again.
  • Servicing costs money now. It was free entirely by accident — there was never a money path on it at all.
  • Heads-up: bays at Rideout are still being re-surveyed. If a spot won't take your car, shout in Discord.

Heist money comes out dirty

  • Scores pay out in dirty money now — it needs laundering before you can spend it.
  • The job is worth what it always was, but the launderer takes his cut, so what you actually walk away with is lower.
  • That's deliberate. Big jobs should feed the laundering economy rather than paying straight into your pocket.

The Rangers took a second station

  • San Andreas Rangers now run a station up north, and it's the primary one.
  • Beaver Bush stays exactly as it was.
  • Your locker doesn't follow you between them. Whatever you leave at one stays at that one.

Dispatch, rebuilt

  • Calls stay on screen until you actually deal with them instead of vanishing on a timer.
  • Arrow keys cycle between calls, and you can dismiss one or shrink it down to keep it on your map.
  • The records map shows live calls, who's attached to each one, and eight hours of history on who responded to what.
  • Fleet vehicles come out clean and with a full tank, and the garage prompt is tightened right down — no more storing your car by accident from halfway across the lot.

Fire Rescue had an empty armoury

  • Eleven treatment items had no source anywhere in the city. That's why the treatment screen looked broken — the shelves genuinely were bare.
  • All of them are stocked free at the armoury now: tweezers, sutures, burn cream, splints, ice packs, tourniquets, defibs, stretchers, crutches and wheelchairs.
  • The medical bag is a real container. Load it up and carry your own kit.

Smaller things that had been wrong for a while

  • The map legend no longer flickers in and out — it had quietly run out of room. Blips are sorted into named categories instead of one endless list, and emergency callsigns are back on unit blips.
  • You can deposit at an ATM again. The button had been hidden the whole time.
  • Two new substances are moving on the corners, and smoking a joint does something again after a long stretch of doing nothing at all.
  • Boss menus: staff lists sort by rank, the scroll bars work, and hiring or firing syncs between the desk and the terminal either way round.
  • The maroon slab hanging across Cluckin' Bell is gone, and so is the spot that dropped you through the world on your way out of a certain building.

The city just doubled, and there's a lot more to do in it

Twice the room

  • We've gone from 64 slots to 128. Bring your friends — there's space for them now.

A brand-new phone

  • Completely replaced — new look, new apps, considerably faster.
  • It opens with M now, not F1.
  • Your number came with you. Nobody's number changed.
  • Heads-up: contacts, messages, photos and tweets did not carry over. You'll need to re-add your contacts.
  • The garage and property apps are switched off for the moment while we wire them up properly.

Pixel Pete's is open

  • A full arcade on Vespucci Beach, with three playable arcade games and server-wide leaderboards to chase.
  • Six more machines to work as well — the claw, basketball, Bang A Beaver, Nazar, Axe of Fury and the Love Tester.
  • Buy tokens from the attendant, win plushies, and sell them back if they're not your thing.
  • There are machines out at Sandy Marina and Vespucci Pier too, not only in the arcade.

Golf, two different ways

  • Los Santos Golf Club is open — a full nine holes, free to play, caddies included.
  • Top Golf is running as well: eighty bays across four decks, with rings out on the range to aim at.
  • Wagers are switched on. Bring money you don't mind losing.

Two new kitchens, and something underground

  • Cluckin' Bell has opened at Rockford Plaza and Up-N-Atom out in Grapeseed. Both are hiring, both come with their own menu, and Burger Shot's kitchen got a restock while we were at it.
  • There's a car meet somewhere beneath Cypress Flats. We're not going to point at the door.

Deputies and Rangers — read this one

  • You need a GPS tracker in your inventory to appear on the map. It's free at the armoury and there's nothing to switch on — just carry it.
  • Using the item now takes you off the map for undercover work. It used to work the other way round.
  • No tracker, no dot. Worth knowing before somebody comes looking for you.
  • Fire Rescue: medics can open the hospital armoury and their personal stash again — both had been locked by a bad setting. Trackers are stocked free there too.

Out on the streets

  • Robbing a parking meter leaves a fingerprint now, so wear gloves. Deputies can check a meter for tampering and lift the print off it.
  • Deputies can search a dumpster as well, which makes hiding in one rather less of a sure thing than it was.
  • Crew boosting pays everyone who worked the job now, not just whoever drove it to the drop — and the XP isn't split any more, so everybody earns the full contract plus a bonus per crew member.
  • Boost payouts are dirty money now. Clean it before you spend it.
  • The crime tablet works from your inventory again, and Find Vehicle actually spawns a car instead of sending you hunting through traffic.
  • The map
  • Combat

Two towns, knocked down and rebuilt

Sandy Shores, remastered

  • The whole town rebuilt — new buildings, new interiors, new detail everywhere you look.
  • The motel, the bar, the laundromat, the Burger Shot and the car lot are all new inside and out.
  • A proper marina out on the Alamo Sea, with reworked beaches and a new bridge.
  • And something got dug in out past the sand that we're not going to point at. Go and find it.

Paleto Bay, rebuilt

  • The same treatment top to bottom — a new sheriff station, a new hospital, new interiors throughout.
  • A ranger station has appeared up in Paleto Forest.
  • Heads-up on both: rebuilding a town moves things. A few doors, counters and marked spots may sit slightly off while we re-survey them. Shout in Discord if something won't open.

Fights last longer now

  • One-tap headshots are gone — weapon choice and body armour matter again.
  • Snipers lost their one-shot too, for now. We want to see how a real fight feels before we touch anything else.
  • NPCs are unchanged. This one is player-versus-player only.

Two new doors to try

  • Weazel News HQ is open — go and have a nose around the newsroom.
  • An indoor karting centre has turned up in Cypress Flats. The building is open to walk now; the karts themselves aren't running yet.
  • The map
  • Law & rescue
  • Quality of life

A new showroom, and a hand up off the pavement

Lend a hand

  • You can now pick up and carry another player.
  • They get a prompt to accept or refuse — nobody gets hauled off without a say in it.
  • Ideal for dragging a friend out of trouble, or off the pavement.

Luxury Autos

  • The dealership has moved into a real showroom over on Portola Drive.
  • Walk the floor, take one out for a spin, buy with cash or on finance.

Emergency services

  • Duty gear is free at the armoury — vests, cuffs, radios, ammunition, medical kit and the rest.
  • Weapons and attachments cut by around three quarters.
  • Tasers hold two charges and reload from a cartridge, so there's no endless zapping.
  • Bandages and trauma kits stocked for everyone in uniform.
  • Every station has its own clothing store, and a uniform menu command staff manage themselves.
  • Work
  • Activities
  • Law & rescue

Three new ways to spend a day

Trucking is a real career now

  • A full haulage operation at the docks — take a contract, load it, deliver it.
  • Run solo or roll out in a convoy with other drivers.
  • Bang the cargo about and it comes off your payout, so mind the corners.
  • Earn into a skill tree: heavier loads, hazmat runs, long hauls, cheaper fuel, better rates.
  • Get far enough and you can start your own company, buy rigs and take on drivers.

Bumper cars

  • An arena has opened on the Chumash shore. Grab a token, pick a car, go and ruin somebody's day.

There's something buried in the sand

  • Metal detectors are out on the beaches. Start at Vespucci; Del Perro, Chumash and Paleto open up as you get better at it.
  • The further out you go, the better the finds.

Emergency services

  • Fleet garages rebuilt around a tight, curated roster.
  • Rigs roll out ready to go — department paint, livery, tint, fully kitted.
  • Rangers pull their own roster and plates at any station. A few specialist units are rank-locked.
  • Law & rescue
  • Roleplay
  • Vehicles

The Sheriff's Office moved. Three times over.

Say it out loud

  • Your /me and /do now float above your head instead of getting lost in the chat box.
  • Only people close enough to be there will see them — no more reading actions from across the map.

Three stations, no Mission Row

  • The Sheriff's Office now runs out of Davis, Sandy Shores and Paleto Bay. Mission Row is closed.
  • Every station has its own armoury, lockers, locker room and fleet garage.
  • Deputies clock on from the job menu wherever they are — no more driving to a duty point.

Los Santos Customs, Burton

  • The city's player-run custom shop is now LS Customs in Burton, across fifteen bays.
  • The other lots stay self-service when nobody's on the clock.

Vehicle performance, round two

  • Every vehicle re-sorted onto a proper ladder, landing on the speed its class says it should.
  • Upgrades still pay off — they just can't launch you into another league.

Lifts that don't leave people behind

  • Hospital elevators rebuilt. Anyone riding with you comes along — escorted suspects, stretchers, wheelchairs, the lot.
  • The helipads are open to everyone now, not just emergency services.
  • Law & rescue
  • Vehicles
  • The city

The Rangers have arrived

A third department

  • San Andreas Rangers are now a full law-enforcement department, working out of Beaver Bush Ranger Station.
  • Their own armoury, lockers, locker room and fleet garage.
  • Rangers and the Sheriff's Office share radio channels and one records system — mutual aid is the whole point.

Ink, refined

  • Every tattoo has a darkness slider — softly faded through to full black.
  • A live ink meter shows how much your character can carry before it all turns to mud.
  • Torso designs split by chest, stomach, back and sides instead of one endless list.

Back at the mechanic

  • Engine swaps are back — V6, V8 and V12 blocks, craftable at the bench.
  • Aftermarket parts can be removed and reverted to stock. They used to be permanent.
  • Heads-up: top speeds have been evened out. A fully-upgraded car tops out near what its class should do — upgrades still pay off, they just won't launch you into orbit.

Extra character slots

  • Elite supporters get a fourth character slot, Legend a fifth.
  • Nothing is ever deleted — if a tier lapses, the extra characters simply lock until you're back.
  • Work
  • Activities

Fishing, completely rebuilt

A whole new sport

  • A new system from the ground up — new rods, new bait, new gear shop.
  • Level up as you fish, all the way to fifty, with better catches showing up as you climb.
  • Five rarities, from everyday common up to the legendary stuff people will ask you about.
  • Rods wear out with use, so keep a spare in the bag.
  • Quests to chase, stats on everything you land, and a leaderboard if you fancy being on it.
  • Crab catching, net casting and diving are all in the mix.

Rodeo comes to Sandy Shores

  • A bull-riding arena is open. Five hundred dollars gets you on the bull.
  • Hang on while it gets faster and meaner the longer you last. The top three scores go up on the board.

Fixed

  • Logging back in after going off inside your property no longer drops you under the map.
  • You spawn inside your place rather than out on the pavement, and once you own a house the starter apartment steps aside.
  • Racing
  • Activities
  • Vehicles

Turn up on foot and go racing

Racing — just turn up

  • No race car? Doesn't matter. Roll up on foot and you'll be handed a spec loaner, so everyone's in identical machinery and it comes down to the driver.
  • Hot laps on your own — set a time on any track even if you're the only one online.
  • Bounties: put cash on a lap time and dare somebody to beat it.
  • Trackside leaderboards, a rematch button on the results screen, and a heads-up when someone opens a race.

Mini golf, rebuilt from scratch

  • The course is back — and the power meter finally does what it says, so no more putts sailing off backwards.
  • Play a full round, practise a single hole, or open a lobby with friends.
  • Rounds and stats are saved, so there's a scorecard to argue about afterwards.

In the garage

  • The customisation menu got a proper going-over — the option you pick actually shows in the box, and it stays picked when you back out of a category.
  • Underglow and xenons are paid add-ons now: buy them once for a car, then change the colour whenever you like.
  • Take an aftermarket part back off and the car properly returns to stock.

The city got interactive

A city you can touch

  • Dumpsters and trash piles are worth a look now — you never know what someone threw out.
  • Vending machines are stocked. Parking meters can be paid… or persuaded.
  • Pull up a chair and actually sit down.

The outfit bag got a fitting room

  • Drop your bag and step into a proper try-on screen — spin your character and see the fit before you commit to it.
  • Wear a whole outfit, or just the hat, the top or the bottoms.
  • Search your wardrobe and star the fits you actually wear.

A fresh coat of paint

  • The city's menus now share one clean look — the dealership, the mechanic, crafting, crew and job menus, racing, hunting, the tattoo studio, restaurant tablets, the player list and the loading screen.
  • The dealership and the mechanic were rebuilt from scratch. Same features, far nicer to use.

One more thing

  • Take a drive up toward the Vinewood hills sometime, and look up at the sign.
  • The city
  • Work

Weather comes alive

Weather that means something

  • Real, rolling weather that shifts through the day and changes with the seasons.
  • Clearer skies, heavier storms and everything in between — no two days quite the same.
  • And every so often, keep one eye on the horizon. Something bigger might blow through.

Hunting, reimagined

  • Hunting has been rebuilt from the ground up into a proper career.
  • Missions to take on, a haul to track, and experience that levels your skills as you climb.
  • Crime
  • Work

The big jobs have arrived

The scores you were promised

  • Full-scale heists across the city — the small-town banks, the big downtown vault, the jewellery house.
  • Armoured money trucks, cargo runs and high-end car boosts.
  • Drill, hack, blow the doors, crack the safes — a whole lineup of minigames.
  • Go solo on the quick ones, or roll deep with a crew and split the payout. Then fence the loot and lie low.

Strike it rich

  • Mining — grab a pickaxe and work the quarry. Better tools dig faster, and wear down, so keep a spare.
  • Pan the riverbeds, wash and crack your hauls, smelt ore into bars.
  • Cut raw gems and craft them into jewellery worth real money, levelling a whole set of skills as you go.

Farm fresh

  • Fruit orchards have sprung up across the map — stroll up to a tree and pick your haul.
  • Greenhouses out in Grapeseed growing fresh veg and wild mushrooms, perfect for keeping the restaurants supplied.

Odds and ends

  • Mystery boxes with a plushie inside. Collect the set and keep them in a plushie bag.
  • Megaphones — be heard across the block, broadcast from a driver's seat or a chopper, or work a crowd from the stage mic.
  • The city
  • Crime
  • Law & rescue

Ink, housing and a casino makeover

Get inked

  • A new immersive tattoo studio — take a seat in the chair, browse the designs, and watch the ink go on.
  • Build your whole look before you commit a single dollar.

Housing upgrade

  • A full overhaul — smoother buying, owning and decorating.
  • Every citizen gets a free starter apartment. No rent, no bills, no catch.
  • Log out at home, wake up at home, right at your own front door.
  • Property deals now go through a licensed realtor.

Fun and games

  • The casino got a top-to-bottom makeover at the Town Resort & Casino, with a bar on the other side of the room.
  • A bowling alley and a laser tag arena, both open.

For the streets

  • Vehicle boosting — take contracts, dodge the trackers, and work your way up to the big-league rides.
  • Crack ATMs and knock over stores for quick scores.

City life

  • Hold up to three jobs at once, managed from one menu.
  • Outfit bags — drop a bag and share your fits with friends.
  • Ride the aerial tramway. Best views in San Andreas.

Emergency services

  • The departments took on new identities: the Los Santos Sheriff's Office and San Andreas Fire Rescue.
  • Panic and backup calls for crews in trouble — help is one press away.
  • Set your rig up at the station garage: liveries, extras, a wash and a repair.
◈ Before this page

The city ran for a while before we started writing these down. Racing, housing, the casino, the drug economy, crews and territory, hunting, beekeeping, crafting, the prison, the rebuilt police records system and the rest all landed earlier — there's a full tour of where it all ended up on The City.

One city. Every story.
