Map | Basic Information The Crew Guide
Last update: 21 October 2016
The players have been given a very big map. It presents the scaled-down United States. 13 big cities have been reproduced, as well as some of the recognizable places outside of them. The distance between New York and Los Angeles, at the other end of the map, is 120 kilometers. To cover such distance, you require 40 minutes.
The map has been divided into five regions:
- Midwest
- East Coast
- The South
- Mountain States
- West Coast.
The missions n the game need to be completed in a specific order, in accordance with the storyline. However, at any time, you can choose from among several missions. The storyline adjust to the choices that you make. At the very beginning, you receive missions, in the Midwest. However, at any point, you can go anywhere on the map. You are not held by any artificial boundaries. You can both drive over the roads, as well as off-road.
Once you cross an area for the first time, it is counted as the discovered one. Thanks to this, you can fast-travel there, at any moment. To get to the specific area, click it on the map and select "fast-travel". Around the map, there also is public transportation present - airports and depots, thanks to which you can get to various locations, without the necessity to drive there. However, if you prefer to get there on your own, you will find GPS helpful. To specify the destination, click on the selected spot and select "set a marker".
The icons that appear on the map:
The key mission for each region. These are the missions that you receive in the first place, in a given region and during them, you discover the new HQ. This is also the way to display the final mission in a given region. In each of them, you need to complete three sub-missions. The exclamation mark, next to any icon, means that it has just appeared on the map, e.g. a new missions, a car dealership, or a new tuning parlor. | |
