GTA:Locations

Revision as of 17:29, 29 April 2021 by Chilli (talk | contribs) (Added Vespucci to police station list)

The San Andreas island holds a large number of locations for you to see and explore. Some are listed here, some others maybe shown on your map within the game and others are more secretive; perhaps only being revealed to you by other players for the right incentive or reward. As part of your experience on the RPUK FiveM Server you will come to learn these locations. Some maybe obvious what they're for, where as others might need you to explore and do your own research into what goes on at the more discrete places on the map.

Player Owned Businesses

Introduced to provide a wider role for players to get involved in influencing the economy, player owned businesses are allocated by the LS City Council based on applications received earlier in 2021. Each type of business has different purposes and work slightly differently. With prices chosen by the business it's down to the owner to ensure they are competitively priced, advertising on Tweedle and encouraging drivers to deliver stock to their stores.

 

General Stores

There are a number of stores placed around the island of San Andreas, highlighted on your map as green shopping baskets. Some are 24/7 Stores, some others might be petrol stations, pawnshops or other brands. With the exception of pawnshops (which are manually stocked but has no limits on the type of item they can sell), the other stores can order and sell certain types of stock for their business which can then be delivered by players.

 

Car Dealerships

Another type of store that relies on players delivering stock. Although likely far more limited due to limited stock available, car dealerships are your first point of call when looking to buy a new vehicle. Each dealership caters for a different type of vehicle. This is where you might be lucky to be the first owner of an 'import', the name given to addon vehicles of real-life car brands which can look far better than a GTA vehicle but can also be quite rare too. Be prepared to pay the price for an import, however. For those wanting something cheaper, dealerships can stock regular vehicles too. If you speak to the dealership owner may they may be able to order certain vehicles in stock for you as well.

 

Fishing Store & Boat Dealership

A popular income for many players is fishing. With its previous location getting too busy to remain safe the LS City Council built a new fishing store at a different position - featuring its own boat parking and pier. At a separate location is the boat dealership where you will be able to purchase yourself a brand new vessel; be it for pleasure or business there is a good range of boats available to meet your needs.

 

Nightclubs & Bars

If working through the week has been a struggle, then arranging to go out socialising with friends or work colleagues at one of the various nightclub and bars across the city may be the best place to wind down and relax. Quite often afterparties and events are arranged at these locations and often see a good turnout of players. Keep an eye out on Tweedle for information on future events.

 

Restuarants

If bread and water is becoming a bit too bland then you have a choice of restaurants around the town. for something a bit more appetising They can be found on the map by a small flame icon.

 

Pharmacies

After the NHS decided to remove the pharmacies from inside the hospitals, a number of new premises were required. The pharmacies are overseen by the NHS and it is here you will need to acquire medical items to heal any wounds you have or rectify any other ailments you might have.

Other Retail & Commercial Locations

There are some other locations where you can pay for a service or purchase goods that are not currently owned or maintained by players.

 

Fuel Stations

These are shown on your map as red jerry cans and are where you will want to fill up your vehicle with fuel before it is too late. Some player owned shops have fuel stations next to them, but the fuel pumps themselves are not connected to the income of the stores currently.

 

Clothes Shops

This is where you can change the clothes you are wearing, or in some stores you can purchase items for your wardrobe if you own a house and have one there. Step into the red marker within the store and select your new outfit. Purchasing individual items is available in the blue markers in selected stores. The clothes shops only accept cash.

You may notice there is a limit on what clothes you can buy and wear, however, a more sophisticated clothing system is currently in development.

 

Vehicle Customs/Modifications

When your car is looking and performing like every other car on the streets, it's the vehicle modification locations you will want to attend to give it a new lick of paint, tune the engine or fit the beautiful neon under glow lights.

You must own the vehicle you wish to modify and only one car can be in the garage at a time. If you drive in and someone is already in there, reverse out and wait patiently. These are not shown on the map but some simple research should help you find out where these are.

 

Weapon Stores

Despite what the name might appear to suggest, there is only a limited number of items available here. Some might appear to have an innocent purpose, while other items are designed only to cause harm. You will need to do your own research to find these as they are not displayed on the map.

 

Jewellery Store

This store is marked on the map as a blue diamond. You can buy (and sell) some of the more rarer and most valuable items here.

 

YouTool Hardware & Furniture Store

This store is useful once you have your own home. Within the YouTool you can purchase furniture to place inside your property. Unlike other items, furniture purchased here does not go into your inventory but instead is delivered to your house directly.

When you are inside your home, press Caps > House Options > Furnish Property. A list of the items you purchased and their quantity are listed here. Select one and it will place in the centre of your house. Follow the onscreen instructions on how to move and place the furniture where you would like it to be placed. The items will save in their respective locations.

 

Barber Shops

If your haircut is becoming the joke of the town, you will want someone who knows what they're doing to give you a trim. The locations are not on the map but with some simple research you should be able to find out where these are situated.

 

Tattoo Shops

One of the unique ways to stand out from other characters is your choice of artwork to print onto your skin. Much like barber shops, these locations are not put on the map but quick research can identify where these might be.

 

Fleeca Banks

Some of these buildings are not staffed too well, although security is currently tight. You might be able to use an ATM if there is one inside.

Recreational

 

Los Santos Country Club

The Country Club is an elegant location in the North West of the city, fenced off from the mild chaos that occurs outside.

 

Diamond Casino

Fancy your luck at gambling? Head here to have a go at slot machines, blackjack or the lucky wheel.

Remember, when the fun stops - stop! Billions have been lost inside the walls of this building and no doubt a number of regretable decisions.

 

Legion Square

A landmark and center point of the city. You will find this as a common location for people to gather in events such as protests, memorials or other gatherings. There is a Fleeca bank

Government Facilities

 

Los Santos City Hall

The home to the LS City Council. This is also the location where you can purchase various licences, go to court or attend other public hearings and events.

 

HMP Bolingbrook

This is where those charged with offences are taken by Los Santos Police Department, with the site overseen by Gruupe6. If you've ended up in here you will have been up to no good and it's perhaps some time for reflection. The facilities have recently been rebuilt (Aprill 2021) after a fire broke out in the original complex.

 

Police Stations

The main police station where most services are available is the Mission Row Police Station on Sinner Street, Los Santos. It is here you can pay tickets, get details of a solicitor and is likely where you will be taken if you are arrested in the city. Police Officers work from the Mission Row Police Station as well as being the base to a number of other assets such as the police helicopter (NPAS), dog kennels and more.

Overall police stations can be found;

  • Mission Row (Sinner Street)
  • Vespucci
  • Sandy Shores
  • Paleto

You must not loiter or hang around police stations without a roleplay purpose, as per the server rules (G6).

 

NHS Hospitals

If you have become so unwell that you've been incapacitated then you'll need the help of the NHS, friend or passerby to get you to one of the NHS hospitals in San Andreas. You can find them;

  • Pillbox Hill
  • Sandy Shores
  • Paleto

Just bear in mind NHS staffing is limited so you may have to check-in and wait to be seen.

Please also respect that hospitals, like police stations, are not for loitering or hanging around without a roleplay purpose as per the server rules (G6).
