Introduction
Welcome to this guide!

I decided to create it because I noticed that most of the answers to the questions that my friends asked me after starting the game directed them to the Interaction Menu.

The Interaction Menu can be opened by pressing the M button if you are using a keyboard and by holding the select key with a controller (Dezső).

I hope this guide will help you!

Any suggestions/corrections are appreciated!

Enjoy :)
Quick GPS
Quick GPS is a faster way to use the in-game GPS!

The quick GPS will direct you to your personal vehicle, your apartments or garages, the closest shop to your location, or the Pegasus vehicle that you ordered!

Press Enter while selecting one of the options to add the GPS route. "None" to remove the GPS route.

The Quick GPS option saves you a lot of time because you don't have to pause the game every time, find the location, mark it, and then exit the pause menu.
Inventory
Cash
Cash is the option to share money that you have made from robbing a store or got from a drop with other players.
Note that you cannot share any other money. You cannot share the money that you had for a while or the ones made in missions or heists.

Accessories
Accessories is mostly about appearance. Two of the non-just-aesthetical use of the accessories are the rebreather, which lets you breath under water for a long time, and the masks. Changing from one mask to another (including none) during a pursuit and when the police is not watching (escape phase), will make you lose 1 wanted star. This can be used only once per pursuit (AramGames).

Since I am in topic, make sure you save some outfits with Heavy Armor Vest! They give you extra armor during heists if the host has selected "Player Saved Outfits"!

Armor
This is one of the most important parts of the Interaction Menu!
Armor is the best resource you have when you are doing heists! It will prevent you from dying from enemy fire if used correctly!

Side note: the armor is the blue bar next to the health bar in the HUD.

Parachute
Just aesthetical options about the parachute

Snacks
This is also one of the most important parts of the Interaction Menu!
Snacks are usually used when you are out of armor or when you have lost health when trying to equip the next armor. They all give you health except Pisswasser and Smokes.
Make sure to buy snacks at the stores when you can!

Tip: use snacks when running, driving a vehicle, equipping a minigun, or taking cover. In those situations, you will get an instant health boost. If you don't, you will have to wait for an animation.
Random utilities
Daily Objective
A checklist for daily objectives. Complete them all for bonus RP!

Impromptu Race
A way to start an Impromptu Race with other players! These are small races in free mode.

Action
Awesome actions that you can do in game!

Press Caps Lock to use the action. Press it twice and fast to do the secondary action.

You can do actions also in certain vehicles.

Player Mood
This one explains itself. Just a way you want your character's expressions to be.

Walk Style
Different walk styles to customize your character movement.
Passive Mode
Another very useful tool.
This will save you from going all the way to online options in the pause menu to enable or disable passive mode.
Highlight player
Got mad at somebody and want to reach them for some fun? ;)
Highligh player is the tool for you!

Make sure you press Z twice to open the expanded map. This way you can see the direction EVERY player on the map is.
Request Personal Vehicle
Are you annoyed too of calling the Mechanic to get your car close to you? Well, you won't have to 90% of the times now!

This tool will save you A LOT of time. You cannot, however, choose another car.

This can be used also during heists as long as your car did not disappear.
Personal Vehicle Permissions
Empty Personal Vehicle
This option is not too useful. Vehicle access works better.
This option works only if the vehicle is stopped and you are in it.

Vehicle Access
Very useful tool. This will change the permissions other players have to your vehicles.
If somebody is in it, it will stop the vehicle and force them out.
Passengers means that everybody can enter your vehicle, but nobody can drive it.
Voice Chat
This will change who will hear you when you use voice chat. Pretty straight forward.
Spawn Location
This will be the location where you will spawn when you join a session. This is very useful if you, for example, have an apartment in a very crowded area and you don't want to spawn in the middle of 15 players.
Player Target Priority
Ever hit a friend in the back of their head on accident? (accident..yea right ;) )

If you set it to strangers, this will prevent you from killing your friends when you are close to them and shooting a weapon.
Note: homing launcher will not lock on your friends! Make sure you know they won't attack you if you set it to strangers :P
One on One DM Time
Pretty straight forward. The time a Freemode One on One Deathmatch started by you will last.
Kill Yourself Option
Last, but not least, the Kill Yourself option.

This is commonly used when you are stuck somewhere, want to get rid of the police following you, or are fighting somebody and your health is very low or want to spawn in a different location.

Note that this will cost $500 if you have not deposited all your money in the bank (Caestard#4daystillCaesday).
Hope you enjoyed!
Hope you enjoyed the guide and that it helped you!

Again, feel free to add suggestions!

Don't forget to rate so that more players will learn from it!

Thanks :)

Miniguide: Press the Jump/Climb button while aiming to do a combat roll.

One thing u forgot to mention is that if you use 1st person and eat snacks in cover, the character will exit cover to perform the animation anyway. just a tip for those who want to complete heists in 1st person.

You'd have to setup a macro for it.

does anyone know how to bind for example "armor" for special button? It takes much time to find it in M
RedCobra1246  [author] 20 Jun, 2015 @ 5:49am 
There is also a "Skip" button that most people "accidentally" hit ;p
It is indeed sad when somebody in game does not know about the Interaction Menu, BUT at least these guys are here because they want to learn and that to me is more important :rbiggrin:

Again, not judging you, just the people that don't know. There shouldn't be this many. There are extensive tutorials in game, I don't know why no-one knows about this.

@Amaterakami, I created it to inform people.
You expect people to know it, but this does not guarantee that they will. This guide, hopefully, will increase the chances that they will.
alt 19 Jun, 2015 @ 12:04pm 
The fact that this exists is sad.
It's a basic game function, why does no-one know about it?
Next step will be having guides to tell you how to fucking jump.
