And at VidaExtra we have proposed that you squeeze it to the fullest.
Los Santos and De Blaine County are the perfect place to wander aimlessly or do routine tasks, but they also constantly invite us to participate in frenetic activities, generate chaos and destruction and even play competitively in all kinds of events and games. topics through its online. Being always remunerated with experience and reputation.

Because Grand Theft Auto is synonymous with free will, and this new installment also takes very seriously the theme that all power revolves around the hunt for the almighty dollar. Making the very adventure of making a modest fortune terribly interesting and exceptionally fun.


From the outside, what GTA V offers can seem overwhelming, but once we start the game we will see that there is always something interesting and fun to do. For this reason, we have set out to offer you a series of essential tips focused on anyone who wants to dive into this ocean of possibilities. And, by the way, catch up if you left the game halfway seven years ago.

Which brings us to an obligatory question: how do you play?

What is Grand Theft Auto V (and GTA Online) about?

As a video game, Grand Theft Auto V (or GTA V) is a huge open world full of places of interest: you will see huge skyscrapers, shopping areas, privileged views and caravan parks. Huge wildernesses cut off from civilization and lots of shady places to spend the money you earn honestly... Or forced.

In the story mode we will control three main characters in an intense story that will take them to experience the vast majority of the main activities on the map. Each of them, as we will see below, with their own characteristics and personality. And the best thing is that we can switch between them at any time.

In addition, there is a multiplayer mode called Grand Theft Auto Online (GTA Online) in which we will create a custom character with which we can earn money, reputation and acquire properties, weapons and all kinds of luxuries. Sharing game and stage with dozens of players.



The game system depends on the experience we are looking for, with which we can do routine activities. However, the core of the GTA V story and most of the events allow us to enjoy an action experience in which we can shoot and use all kinds of weapons, drive freely in extreme situations and chain missions whose rewards are proportional to their risk.

There are indicators of crime, of course, the number of stars that we see on the screen will determine the level of search and the aggressiveness with which the police, the feds or the army will try to stop us. But, luckily, there is always a way to escape if we are skillful or farsighted enough.



As we mentioned, the grace of GTA V is in free will, and despite the fact that there are pre-set missions on the map, we can always get lost and experiment with the world around us, the physics of the vehicles and, who knows? We still find interesting treasures.

GTA V is the first main game of the Grand Theft Auto saga in which we can explore the map in its entirety and from the beginning. Or, at least, once the prologue with which we are introduced to the plot and allows us to familiarize ourselves with the game controls has been overcome.

Below you can see the main map of the game, as well as several marked points of interest


.

Over time you will end up familiarizing yourself with it, although going through it in its entirety and discovering all its secrets is an almost, almost impossible odyssey, which will take us months. Even years.

Unlike other installments and open worlds, GTA V offers three main characters that we can freely switch between. And not only that: when they are not together on a mission, they will be doing activities on their own.

I mean, if we're in the middle of a chase with Trevor or Franklin, we can switch Michael and do something else. Of course, maybe he is sleeping, walking or in the middle of a shootout.

For our part, we present you the three main protagonists of the history of GTA V:

After a life as a bank robber and professional criminal, Michael is part of the witness protection program and, on paper, life treats him well. However, his skills with firearms are too good not to take advantage of.

The tip: His special ability slows down time and allows us to aim and shoot with greater precision. You can improve this skill by driving at high speed or taking precision shots.

A young criminal with everything to gain. Franklin made a living off small hits and cashing in other people's luxury cars, which has given him unprecedented driving skills.

The tip: Franklin's special ability slows down time when we're in a vehicle and allows us to masterfully maneuver and corner at tremendous speeds. You can improve this skill by driving at high speed, avoiding near collisions, or driving against traffic.

Trevor's character is almost indescribable, but he also reflects the rebelliousness and madness of the GTA series: he is a true sociopath who is rarely doing anything good with his life. If we do not take into account the hours of sleep, of course.

The advice: by using Trevor's special ability we inflict much more damage and we will even have a period of invisibility, which can save them from more than one trouble. To improve this skill by driving at high speed, take out all the targets you see, especially with accurate shots, and take damage without costing your life.

Finally, it is worth clarifying that increasing the statistics with one character will not have an effect on the other two. We have the option to improve all three at once, alternate between them or focus only on one. You have your whole life ahead of you.

As we mentioned at the beginning, there is no wrong way to play GTA V. And in essence, there is no wrong way to play Online unless we use modified versions of the game that expose us to bans based on illegally increasing our reputation or our money. . At the end of the day, GTA Online is about an ecosystem where we are encouraged to participate, compete and earn rewards fairly.

However, it is worth taking these types of factors into account:

On a weekly or monthly basis, Rockstar promotes events and activities in which the prizes are doubled. Do not miss the opportunity. In addition, huge economic bonuses are also awarded just for connecting on certain dates, pay attention to the Official GTA Bulletin.

One of the most interesting new features of GTA V on PS4, Xbox and PC is that we can switch between first person and third person view, which has a direct effect on the gaming experience. On PC, you may also be interested in adjusting the controls to your liking or using a traditional controller. All in all, you have at your disposal four types of aim:

Assisted aim – Total: with it you can fix the target at a wide angle that allows you to change targets. In addition, in the first person we will have access to a magnetic sight.
Assisted aiming – Partial: with it we can also set the target, although the angle is medium. Also, keep in mind that the reticle slows down whenever it passes over a target. As in the previous one, in the first person we will have access to a magnetic sight.
Free aim – Assisted: the angle of fixation that we will have is very tight. With everything in first person we will have access to a magnetic sight.
Free aim: if we want to depend totally on our aim, this option does not offer any type of fixation.

From your mobile you will find the list of activities, and there will always be something to do: although we can access missions or business proposals, it is also possible to receive invitations to activities from other players.

In addition, as soon as you reach level 12 you can call the Merryweather security consultancy, a service where you can have access to work material and ammunition, request a support helicopter or any help you need... For a reasonable price in favor

Another of the essential contacts that we must have on hand is Lester, he is presented to us in history. If we need to get out of the way or lower our wanted level, Lester will be our go-to for bribing the cops or setting up an escape plan.

Among the multiple activities that you can carry out are death matches. And if you die three times without getting a kill in one, you'll get a chance to activate loser's perks, certain perks that are triggered from the screen that displays the "Killed" message.

Easy Come Easy Go. Los Santos is a wild place and it is likely that the money you get in not so legal ways will evaporate after a failure or in the hands of another player. Luckily, there is a way to keep it safe: through the Los Santos banking service.

You can use any ATM in Los Santos at any time to deposit or withdraw money, so you won't lose it if you're struck down.
Alternatively, you can access your bank account to deposit or withdraw money from your phone's browser or any internet-connected device by visiting www.maze-bank.com.
Rockstar offers the ability to purchase GTA Dollars for real money. In case you buy, these will be deposited directly into your character's bank account.

Although you can do whatever you want in GTA V, it is quite possible that you will end up doing criminal activities. There's always the option of calling Lester, though if you're caught red-handed, there are other options as well:

Stolen cars will be easily recognized by the police, try not to come across them and in the worst case a coat of paint will confuse them.
Another alternative if you are behind the wheel or on foot and you are being followed is to hide indoors. Some great places are parking garages, tunnels, or any underground location as long as you haven't been seen entering it.
Change your accessories and appearance before and after committing a crime. If in the middle of the escape you equip yourself with different accessories from the menu, you will lose a star almost instantly. Unless, of course, they see you changing.
Finally, it is worth bearing in mind that as long as you have a wanted level you will not be able to join any other activity, although -as we mentioned- a timely call to Lester will make us arrive on time.
