01 • First completion, step by step
First completion, step by step
01 Start: Urban hideouts
- ACTION
- Reach rank 18 and complete Martin's introduction.
- TIP
- Clear the red circle from the perimeter inward and check rooftops before collecting crates.
- RISK / FAILURE CONDITION
- If the “Rank 18; Freemode, active location and time window; no purchase.” gate is not met, Urban hideouts will not save the intended progression.
- HOW TO RECOVER THE RUN
- Check another known location in its window, move away and return; the red circle is not active all day.
02 Gang Attacks index
- ACTION
- Find a red circle active at the current in-game time.
- TIP
- Confirm “Urban hideouts” before the first launch, then progress to “Night windows” through the index.
- RISK / FAILURE CONDITION
- Choosing an entry outside the Gang Attacks index changes the mechanics or does not save this strand.
- HOW TO RECOVER THE RUN
- If the last enemy is stuck, circle the boundary, check roofs/floors and re-enter; after death return before the area expires.
03 Flow: Urban hideouts → Night windows
- ACTION
- Enter the area, defeat every marked gang member and collect dropped crates after securing it.
- TIP
- The team splits ground level, elevation and vehicles; search for the last enemy from the minimap without scattering everyone.
- RISK / FAILURE CONDITION
- Use locations that appear only during their stated in-game hours. Losing the objective before the last checkpoint requires a restart from the save.
- HOW TO RECOVER THE RUN
- If the last enemy is stuck, circle the boundary, check roofs/floors and re-enter; after death return before the area expires.
04 Settle Night windows
- ACTION
- Finish “Night windows”, remain through the result screen and confirm this family's progress save.
- TIP
- After settlement verify that Gang Attacks marks its final entry complete.
- RISK / FAILURE CONDITION
- Leaving before the “Night windows” result can forfeit progression or reward.
- HOW TO RECOVER THE RUN
- Replay “Night windows” as the correct host/operator and wait for the full session return.
05 Gang Attacks replay
- ACTION
- Return to: After Martin unlocks them at rank 18, enter an active red Gang Attack circle during its time window. Then choose a named indexed entry rather than a random family.
- TIP
- Clear the red circle from the perimeter inward and check rooftops before collecting crates.
- RISK / FAILURE CONDITION
- A missing “Urban hideouts” indicates an unmet gate or different pool, not permanent removal of the whole family.
- HOW TO RECOVER THE RUN
- Check another known location in its window, move away and return; the red circle is not active all day.

04 • Reward and economic status
Cash/RP and random drops • variable
Pay depends on the specific Job, result, time and settings. There is no single defensible family-wide table, so no sustainable $/h or event multiplier is calculated.
Observed range specific to this activity; variant, result, duration or completion condition selects the value within it. Event multipliers are excluded.
B • community-reportedThis activity-specific range spans its setups, sub-missions, finale or variants; difficulty and in-Job actions select the value within it.
B • community-reportedRepeats follow normal Job availability; one-time awards and weekly bonuses are not baseline pay.
CONFIDENCE: Unlock/mechanics B; locations time-windowed05 • Common mistakes and recovery
