This section covers the basics of vehicles, the basics on how to operate a vehicle, and even where to get one.

How do you spawn a vehicle?

Click to expand

To spawn a vehicle, you can go up to any black pad on the ground (typically next to where you spawn) and click it, as shown below:
519124e23b315b54dd875be556f8bfd3c9ea411f_2_636x500

You will then be brought here:

e0f299e716ed3eb445d5a2161f2e464f48ee3ea3_2_690x365
From here you can purchase and spawn already owned vehicles.

And the rest of the controls can be found here:
1c34ec87bc917f50b530be829c6c717f920db56c

How do you use ANPR and the ELS?

Click to expand

You may already have noticed the fancy GUI that pops up in some vehicles:
502f709532c7b5250bc109aeecdf554b1112f9ed
and wondered, what does it all do? Luckily for you this section will go through that.

ELS is short for Emergency Lighting System, but for now we will refer to it as ELS (it’s more convenient). The ELS only shows up on specific team’s vehicles. These being:

  • Police
  • CID
  • Firearms Command
  • Ambulance Service
  • Fire Service
  • Highways England

All other teams either don’t have ELS equipped vehicles, or don’t have vehicles at all (Force Control Team).

For the examples, a Firearms Command BMW X5 has been used as it has the ELS including a traffic director sign, and it is also ANPR equipped. Not all vehicles are equipped with all 3, but any vehicle on the teams mentioned above have the basic ELS. We will now go through what each button does in brief detail.

999

It says it in the name, it turns off the siren, and all lights.

Traffic Director

ANPR Camera

The ANPR Camera can (as it says below) track users who speed past you, have firearms or warrant(s). You will get a notification in the chat when an ANPR camera detects one of these people.
11d6a0d5f4e106cb90a02e3bc769debf68c15135

Side Lights

The two small buttons, marked by lights are for the side lights, they turn on lights which will light whatever is next to your vehicle.

2. Weapons

In Redwood there are multiple types of firearms available to people. People on the Citizen team can use these on other armed citizens, or any of the 3 Police teams (Police, CID, Firearms Command). The other team that firearms are available to is the Firearms Command. They can use these weapons on armed citizens.

How do you get weapons?

The way of getting a weapon varies, there are only two teams you can actually have a weapon on: Firearms Command, and the Citizens team.

Citizens

You may have been playing Redwood, and seen other Citizens with guns and wanted one yourself. This will explain how you can get a gun too!

  1. First of all, you have to actually find the gun dealer. He moves around the map into random (but hidden) locations. But as you’re on the Citizens team, you have the benefit of being able to track his location on the map:


The gun icon on the map shows you where the gun dealer is!

  1. Now you have to make your way to the gun dealer, whether that’s by driving there or walking there. (That is up to you, obviously!)
  2. Once you’re there, you will see an NPC, which looks like this:

4e9e3f5b343ffa0b7ca9be1abd95238b7242a812_2_634x500

All you have to do is walk up to him and a list of the guns you can buy will pop up!
d004a582c4a77ae90d9fd72429f485b7d776c7e0_2_575x500

From here you can click which weapon(s) you want to buy. To remove the popup, simpily just walk away from him. But be careful… If you buy a gun, you automatically get 50 bounty, which makes you arrestable!

Police

As this game is based in the UK, not all police officers have weapons. Which as you can imagine, makes it very difficult to defend yourself against any armed Citizens you may encouter whilst out patrolling Redwood’s streets. If you would like to arm yourself, all you have to do is buy the Firearms Command gamepass (pictured below), which will give you access to another team, weapons, new uniforms and unmarked police vehicles!

4aa74f2fa1a3fc139b50278782ca9689cfb07ffd

How do you remove weapons from your inventory?

If you would like to remove your weapon(s) whilst on the Citizen team, you can simply pay off your bounty (which will also remove your weapon(s), or you can be arrested (this will send you to the Redwood Prison game, and you won’t have your weapon(s) once you rejoin Redwood).

3. Bounty System

Bounty is the game’s way of determining who should be arrest able and who shouldn’t be. Put basically, people with 50+ bounty can be arrested, and cannot join other teams.

How can you see how much bounty you have?

Click to expand

You can check how much bounty you (or others) have by either going to the leaderboard (by holding TAB) and looking next to your name:
yuszluif
Another way of seeing how much bounty you have is by looking at the top right of your screen:
15b6b6e0f9be9f8f70f656a03676723de766574f
Yours may not always look like this though! If your’s looks like this one here:
11d28e66e2e68fde3bc9f2fdfc2067235ab68456
it means you can be arrested by the Police!
(If you would like to remove it again, see ‘How do you get rid of your bounty?’)

How do you get bounty in the first place?

Click to expand

There are many ways you can get bounty:

  • Speeding past speed cameras, or ANPR equipped police vehicles.
  • Purchasing a weapon. (A guide on weapons can be found in section two)
  • Shooting police officers with a weapon.

How do you get rid of your bounty?

Click to expand

Getting rid of bounty is easy! You actually have two options:

  1. Get arrested by a police officer (only if your bounty level is 50+)
  2. Pay it off at the police station.

Here is a quick guide to the second option:

Bounty can be paid off at the Police station, located in Avalon.

  1. Enter the police station and click on the counter (pictured below)
    1ee9db9952d2774e1d1117765e6fbf134f846882_2_428x500
  2. And when the prompt comes up, click YES to pay off your bounty.
    443d01ca9a65c3fe4057d2d6f1422c4744dad96c_2_690x367
    The money will be deducted from your balance and then you’re done. No more bounty, easy isn’t it?

How do you check how much XP you have?

Click to expand

Simple, you click the star on the top left of your screen:
6f0593beae5322a206c0a02ca81da8eaf729d071
And when you do, a GUI will pop up at the top of your screen. The number at the top:
3fa0cd2f96886de142497f14f8c074defde15547
shows how much XP you currently have, whereas the number at the bottom:
77df23e4e0be86cbd018bc79d59ec34756b042e5

shows how much XP you need until the next rank. When you get XP, a nice little animation will play at the top of your screen:
69b33ba7fc32f8f363f443e8deee7932d80e6606

5. Private Servers

This section explains everything there is to know about private servers, ranging from how to get one to how to use the admin that comes with it.

How do you get a private server?

Click to expand

A few simple steps must be followed to get a private server of your own.

  1. Click on ‘MyGS’ in the menu, and then this screen will come up:
    69a1534afe04cb852eb369c5b09c3358ba2ff40c_2_690x365
  2. Focusing on the right side of the screen, you can see 3 fields you can fill out.

Name: The name is what will be shown on the private server list (on the left).

Server type: Here you have two option, public or private. All this does is determines whether or not your server will appear on the server list. If you choose public, it will. If you choose private, it won’t.

Group ID: This here gives you the option to lock your server to a specific group only. If you put the ID of a group in here, only members of that group will be able to join the private server. This option is currently only available for private server types. To get the ID of a group you can go to the group’s page and copy the numbers in the link:
0f3763bd7dae50b9e5dd2a76f82bd26d6c76c967

If you don’t want to group lock your server, you can just leave this field empty.

  1. After making sure all fields are filled out correctly, click confirm and a popup will appear, asking you to confirm the purchase click ‘Buy Now’, and that’s is! You’re now the owner of a private server.

You can also edit your server after you’ve purchased it, by going back to the MyGS page:
70ab759dab29fdd8545d032cfc3ecf8091d602b7_2_690x365
and following the same steps as you would to purchase a private server.

NOTE: Private servers will expire after a month, meaning you will have to re-purchase your private server every month if you want to keep it running!

How do you use the admin?

Click to expand

When you join your private server, a notification in the chat will come up:
d9b34c6727a7952ea09a1dc489fd23bce8689dba
Typing /help into the chat will display all of the commands that are available to you:
c62b744e73e1c35284a8f5d9563111df186a2fbf

9aa87107602d7cc187fdacd077524d5002a6901c
All commands in that list beginning with ! are commands you would get if you had admin permissions in a private server. All server owners get admin commands by default, but they can also give them to others.

How do you join a server?

Click to expand

There are two ways of joining a private server:

Method 1

The first method is to use the server list:
a194a5f2fd0fba1650bf5fd0412a5219e0ea3ad3_2_690x419

Find the server you want, and then click join. This method only work for servers that are public. To join a server that is not listed, see Method 2.

Method 2

The second method is to go here:
347ff6d1cd76b94aef963739c3d1faae4cb4d7b4_2_690x72

Type in the username or the userID of the server owner, and then click join. This method works on both types of servers.

6. Team Guides

If you’re not sure how to do something, or if you’re simply just wondering what team does what, then this is the right place for you. Below are a list of all of the teams (some combined) which contain guides on most things, (if not everything) the teams have to offer.

Citizen

The Citizen team is the default team, you can purchase vehicles, houses and guns too. With these features, you can do just about whatever you want, you can engage in roleplays or you can give the Firearms Command a run for their money by purchasing a gun and using it on them (or others), or you could simply drive around with your friends and even race with them in one of the many cars the team has to offer.

Police, Firearms Command & CID

These three teams have been combined as they share a lot of similarities, but they are all different in their own ways.

Police

Unlike the other two teams in this section, the Police team is free. Although it still has a gamepass:

a002d17822231db32d4edeaaed1ff5bf12579ec0

The Police Pack gamepass solely unlocks all rank locked vehicles on the team. Vehicles which can be unlocked by purchasing with in-game money do not get unlocked with this pack. The Police usually come across common criminals (committing common crimes, and usually unarmed), to deal with these types of criminals they are given a set of tools, pictured below:

5d95db0bfdd6e917737910ece9286ad15990bfc2

As well as these vehicles:

230f68fb7130c704c62397271cb51ed45b2e9ce5_2_690x455
1742ff6444dc7488cb76d2492423b83d092de1f3_2_690x120

Some of these vehicles are ANPR equipped (indicated by the black cameras on top of the cars), some also have traffic directors, although we won’t get into detail about that here, more on vehicles can be found in Section 1. As this is the UK, firearms are not given to regular Police Officers (those being CID and Police), for more information on the CID or Firearms Command team, see the next section.

Firearms Command

The Firearms Command team specialises in high risk situations, they are trained to effectively deal with criminals that pose an immediate threat to others (and these criminals can sometimes be armed with weapons). To help them deal with these types of criminals they are equipped with Firearms

The G36C:

901056e8b3f613894fe3237a2d212652d75d6e91_2_690x341

and the Glock 17:

730e48fca5b0801267302c91e4a315fbd3b41d87_2_690x341

as well as these extra tools:

69101f2434fed5b030f9492a4491a8d4b4e931f0

They also have the option of two marked vehicles and a few unmarked vehicles:

94967ff0313831dcc0c71d551e7d0e3dae37bbd6_2_690x453

In addition to the specialised vehicles and tools, they also get better vests and a helmet, along with a ski mask.

CID

The CID are quite different to the other two teams in this section. For starters anyone on the CID team are plain clothed and they are labelled as Detectives. They investigate crime of a more serious nature and use their investigation skills to conduct more thorough investigations than any other division could conduct. These skills can be used to solve a crime, as well as prevent one. They are equipped with the following tools in-game:

1b164166fc0ad4e9e30e15164817eac0dcd60770

Given the nature of their job, they also have a good selection of unmarked vehicles:

60056d192b8a1ed802953435eeba32ca3d41ad50_2_690x455

In addition to all of this, they also get access to this cool little forensics tent:

56c7bc43db67166c0294171b512383a2669eb064_2_690x343

Arrests

The main in-game role of the Police is to make arrests, infact it’s the quickest way to earn XP on all 3 teams in this section. Arrests can only be made on people who have 50+ bounty. To make an arrest, you need to go up to a player with 50+ bounty and click on them with the handcuffs to detain them. From there you can either click them again, to undetain them, or you can click Arrest and then pick a reason for the arrest (which will show on their record) as shown below:

a22273f0ab722a1784fbc676f45895bbed931759

Police Tablet

The Police tablet is a great policing tool. They are given to every Police team and can be used for a variety of things, we will go through what it can do. Below are the different features you have available to you:

The 'Home' Button

The home button is the first thing that will come up when you open your tablet, it looks like this:

c9b3793672971426ff993b40dab274ae884a7bc0_2_690x347

We will now go through the different components of this page and what each of them do. Starting with the two notifications we have here on the left:

46c6fb276f2e5e7de1c15a9a540b2f76d1d90904_2_690x347

Around the map, there are yellow speed cameras (all on main roads). They detect when somebody speeds past them, they will then fine the player, give them some bounty, alert the police and add them to the tablet for officers to look at.

On the right you can see a “potential threat" notification:

affb5763b102d75691dad82334e60fd97d83b227_2_690x347

This displays all players who could be a potential threat to officers, it is either based off of their arrest record, or whether or not they are armed.

When a new notification is added to the tablet, it will alert everyone on all 3 Police teams in the chat, for example:

7da1f3bcc2778fe94ff7007d2e7aa3c95aa66fef

These notifications will appear when somebody who: has a warrant, is armed, or is speeding drives past the speed cameras mentioned before or an ANPR equipped vehicle. These notifications only give brief detail though! You will have to refer to the tablet for more information.

Database Search

This (as it says in the name) is how you search the database. A list of all players on the Citizens team will be shown here, as well as what car they are driving (if any):

20abaf3869e4a98a7bd70ab360435e21a071a6d0_2_690x342

Clicking on any one of these names will bring up information about them including what they look like, whether or not they are armed and their arrest records:

22819e631c0f0bbd07fec7f0c0d4355871879cf0

Here are two examples, as you can see, the first player has 5 arrest records:

a74dd02bb7e1bad793a5b693adaef6f079cfaa6b_2_690x347

Whereas the second has none:

74b8d5e40c4bfbb63518c859babdeed65cd29b6b_2_690x348

The gun icon indicates whether or not they are armed, if they are armed, every time they drive past an ANPR equipped vehicle, you will receive a notification.

The speed camera icon tells you how long ago they have been caught speeding, in both examples it has been 10 minutes since they were last caught speeding past a speed camera.

ANPR

The ANPR tab is currently unfunctional, this will be updated once it is functioning.

Warrants

This tab allows you to check and submit warrants for players:

add5e6ed9f14a6b1ed7e7a6889d4c1cd2a61df80_2_690x346

Fire Service

The Fire Service fight the fires in Redwood County! An important role comes with responsibility, and cool equipment of course! To help them put out these fires, they are given the option of multiple vehicles:

c4ae15d46acf10988e2d9244b95a8b55cc93a233_2_690x453

As the Fire Service is a free to join team, it (like the Police team) also has a gamepass which unlocks every rank locked vehicle on the team. You can tell which vehicles would usually be rank locked by looking at the colour of ‘OWNED’. If it is pink, then it is a rank locked vehicle.

Fires

As the name suggests, Fires are a large part of this team. Putting out fires is the quickest way to earn XP on this team. When a fire starts, you will get a notifcation on the top right of your screen, and fire markers will be added to your map:

580dc7907fa85361da5890962462ea67c677a78d_2_690x460

From here, you need to make your way to the scene. But before you do, make sure you bring 1 of these 4 vehicles with you (the other vehicles don’t have hoses):

4cb8b49e2f6d65dcee3015c6d7be735e92d18bf0_2_690x453

After making your way to & arriving at the scene, you can equip a hose by clicking the red button (typically at the back of the appliance):

767d48be01c6e0fecdd39ecb5ef9f28d3c0a1c2e_2_690x342

From here, you can use the hose to put out the fire. And once you do, you will get a notification and some XP:

Ariel Ladder Platform

The Ariel Ladder Platform (ALP) is a vehicle the Fire Service use to reach high places with ease, it has a controllable ladder with a basket and a hose. It can be controlled by a GUI. You can get this GUI up by sitting on the seat at the back of the ALP:

85d035aab94bf04d4f406b5c340a42193320bc7a_2_690x346

  • L - Turns the ladder left
  • R - Turns the ladder right
  • U - Raises the ladder
  • D - Lowers the ladder
  • Extend/Retract - Extends and retracts the ladder
  • Reset - Resets the ladder to it’s original position

Another thing about the ALP that should be pointed out is the hose button locations, rather than the back, there are 3 buttons. 2 on the sides:

b0b1cfdf2fe03df19c5306fd9173531d2468a4e9_2_690x451

and in the basket:

Ambulance Service

The Ambulance Service is a free to join team, tasked with saving the lives of people who are on the verge of dying in-game. They are given special equipment to help them complete this task (whether that is by roleplay, or by actually taking them to the hospital):

3f8b7b8f0ef7a2bd966969edefd6b2eb9724b6b1

81f8efd7dc7406e05414aad2a3d5467784b4bde2

They are also given a variety of vehicles:

778428a3f68da5bb9b8dd7758f4378d87d4690b2_2_690x452

While most of these vehicles are for roleplay purposes, two of them can be used to transport patients to the hospital using the medical system, a guide to this medical system can be found below.

The Medical System

When any player is critically injured, all those on the Ambulance Service team will receive a notification in the top right of their screens. They will also get a heart icon on their map, which is where the injured player is:

dc35a527dfd9a722fadd5a1f888dcd22e7628043_2_690x353

Upon arriving at the scene, you then would need to equip the stretcher and click the torso of the injured player:

4cdc215c74b5c620ea65191134aed085c4f78bc0_2_599x500

You can then walk them to the back of one of these two ambulances:

df05366784eb2a251681dcbce3d08881b88c76ce_2_690x452

And load them into the back by putting them on the stretcher inside the back of the ambulance.

From here you can drive the patient to the hospital, once you arrive you can take them out of the ambulance by getting in the back and clicking their torso again:

430ada9160d1843214cf11b884c6309c5c399cea_2_690x392

You then wheel them into the hospital, walk up to a hospital bed and click it to put them in it:

e06043365791f5460e9902ffc40d86b873e9c0dd_2_610x500

After that, you’re done. This is the quickest way to earn XP on the team too!

Highways England

The Highways England team are responsible for managing traffic flow, and improving travel routes whether this be by carrying out repairs to the roadways, or by re-directing traffic away from an incident. To help them complete this task, they are equipped with the following items:

0c12e5b23507d06d8772a3b21195eb926c46e4ad_2_690x93

and vehicles:

06fc33f94e708681b0adb315c4c705cb8ea7864f_2_690x455

Note that the snow plow is only temporary.

Motorway Gantry Signs

The Motorway Gantry Signs (pictured below) can be found on both the A12, and the M5 in-game. They can give information and/or orders to follow.

0a94ae84f23c0bcba77950510530a2bd58edd693_2_690x403

There are little restrictions when it comes to customising this board. The bottom signs display information for each lane, such as a speed limit, or maybe an X to show it is closed, etc. The top board displays information or orders in the form of text:

4dd6134af5bd86e40341cf7e8cd64b1555aab909

In this picture, only the first lane is opened due to ice and is limited to 40mph. To get this, you can follow the steps below:

80370544bb279e47aa4579d94a77a392e1884609

You may have noticed the 5 extra buttons on the left, and been wondering what they do:

  • Toggle Beacons - This toggles flashing beacons on every sign
  • Flash Board - Flashes the text on the upper board
  • Flash Road Signs - Flashes the bottom signs
  • Clear Board - Clears the text on the upper board
  • Clear - Clears the text on the upper board and the symbols on the lower boards.

Force Control Team

The Force Control team is an incredibly useful team. They manage emergency service units and provide them with the information they need to complete their jobs. Despite this team currently not having many features, it is great for those who want to roleplay radio communication with the emergency services. They also get a cool name tag to make them stand out!

cc7557e7e25ada7c9e3a28ca89c5aa3b9539cb3a

They are equipped with the following tools:

c039994fb57badae0d1deab53acebcc2cc5f3546

And as they are based in the control room (located inside the Police Station), they do not have access (nor do they require) vehicles.

Radio

The radio is used for Emergency Services to communicate with each other, it’s easy to use once you know how to. It can be found by clicking ‘Radio’ above the chat:

Redwood Mail

Redwood Mail is a free to play team, allowing you to deliver and collect parcels all over Redwood County! Like the Police, they are equipped with a tablet. Although this tablet is very different! The Redwood Mail tablet gives them tasks to complete for money:

8cbc89bf1d02a528dfa0f245174ade6955556bec_2_690x407

There are two tasks that can be given to you on the tablet:

Delivery

After confirming a delivery job on the tablet a notification will popup, along with a marker on your map. Packages and envelopes will be added to your inventory too:

521d4669a76f795ff8e78268f0b9f0204b8340c8_2_602x499

79f0d6c87c41aab564a8b9987fd0237eb84e5a43_2_690x460

You can then make your way to the marker on the map whether that be by driving there or walking. Once you arrive to the house, you can walk up to the front door and post the packages/envelopes through:

498ab575baf3b25ea1112c80bfae9414fcbf16d8

You will then receive your pay and you can move onto the next job!

Collecting

After confirming a Collection job on the tablet, notification will popup, so will a marker on your map:

e31fc18f42a0a6b35a53dab85c1374230e3604ce

5e43d07bf5faa28310f9989ec843631da538fd04_2_690x461

After driving to/arriving at the marker, you should go up to the post box and click on it to receive the parcel(s):

92aca6764421abdc0d330d92c65380e6e6c6dc2c

A new notification will appear, directing you back to the post office. Make your way there. Once you arrive, you can go back inside and place the parcel(s) down with the others on the shelf:

05fa4ff104bb01ecc8bfe22e97d123176e00a504

Like the delivery task, you will then be paid and can move onto the next job!

Taxi Service

Redwood’s Taxi Service is another free to play team, equipped with a tablet (similarly to the mail team):

1e0aa97d59befa975e7ed36df0a63e5a4a00b65f_2_690x406

To earn XP and money, you can confirm a job on the tablet and drive to the NPC, marked on your map. Once you arrive, you need to park up closely next to the NPC, like so:

a4d1dc7f68ae446da7dcd0745c9606b97eac4ad2

Another marker will show on the map, you need to drive the NPC to that marker and park up:

433c6934486a0fa1a213fc67825fe101ed3329a9

The NPC will then get out of the taxi and you will receive the XP and the money.
