1. Time is the most important currency in the game. You start every day at 8:00 am and end your service at 6:00 pm. During a call, time stops and you will see the letters Zzz on the clock. During a conversation, you do not need to rush or make hasty decisions, although in some options you will see a blue bar, which means that you must react dynamically.
2. You will have to practice a lot before you can complete all the tasks and calls during the day. For this, running is vital. To increase your stamina, you should often eat in multiple locations on the map. This allows you to regain stamina. If it is too low, you will get tired faster and Jack will start complaining that he is hungry. First, you can look forward to a free breakfast at the Moonwalk and a donut bag at the store near the church (only if you have high enough respect among the citizens).
3. Almost every activity affects one of the three factions and people who live in the area. Many situations affect more than one group. A very bad reputation among the police, mafia or the team will end the game (more or less brutally)! Good opinion sometimes opens up new opportunities and usually allows you to do something against the other faction without worrying about the consequences. Respect can also affect some conversations. People on the street will also comment on your actions. If someone has something for you, a cloud will appear above them.
4. Listen to the sergeant! Every day he gives you new tasks, usually this is the number of tickets that you have to give out during each shift. Sometimes he wants you to give them away not a certain number of times, but for certain things, for example, for broken headlights. Remember to focus on these vehicles only, as tickets awarded for various violations will not count towards the daily limit. Sometimes you will be offered bribes to save you a fine. The time remaining until the end of the day and your relationship with the police must determine if you accept it. Remember that sometimes you may face provocation: bribery is a crime.
5. Tickets can be obtained by clicking on the car and choosing the correct option (you can check some things first, such as the remaining parking time). After a while, you will gain experience and will be able to issue tickets without checking (for example, for parking in a no-parking zone). Then all you have to do is press the tickets on your belt and choose the right car.
6. Talk to your colleagues before starting the service. Not only can you hear funny dialogues, but you can also find out if secret agents from the interior are spying or if your colleagues are planning a raid on a gang in your area (you can report this to a faction to gain their trust).
7. Money is important for most of the game. You will need them to pay alimony every few days, otherwise the game will end ahead of time. For dollars, you can also buy food, drugs, or improve your reputation by bribing a priest. You will receive a regular salary if you complete your quota. If you give out twice as many tickets that you need to issue, you will receive a bonus. Money can also be obtained from missions, poker, bribes and tasks from the mafia / team.
8. If you want to go through the main story - the case of the items stolen from the senator - a long and difficult journey awaits you. You must use the information you receive carefully. It will be collected in a notebook. If you receive information that points you to someone at a certain time, then you should go there at that particular time. Otherwise, you will lose your chance and block the opportunity to solve the case. Sometimes the case will not move for many days; you must be patient and alert.
9. A few days after the start, a drug dealer will appear (a cloud with a happy face). You can ignore him, buy drugs ($ 50-60, you get +5 stamina), or arrest the dealer (-15 to your relationship with the team, +10 to your relationship with the police). The dealer will appear every day, so you can use it to quickly improve your relationship with the police or immediately restore stamina. Also, every few days the mafia will appear, which extorts money from two neighboring shops. If you react and obstruct the crowd, you will gain +3 to relations with the police, -10 to relations with the mafia, and your respect among the citizens will increase. Sometimes you will be told which stores you should visit, but sometimes you have to find them on your own. The shops are easy to recognize: there is always a crowd in front of him, dressed in black.
10. In the church, you can receive “forgiveness” from one of two criminal groups. By giving away $ 200, you can improve your relationship with the team or with the mafia by 10 points. If you have already paid child support or one of the factions is strongly opposed to you, you should visit the priest Grib. You can use his services once a day.
