Everything you need to know to play on EnviousRP.
In this guide: quick start, chat commands, occupations, licences, jobs you sign on for, making money legitimately, the underworld, gangs, police, mayor, weapon crafting, health and hunger, vehicles, where to find things, and common questions.
Quick start
You spawn as a Citizen. Almost nobody here changes job. Instead you pick an occupation, which tells everyone who you are and decides what you're allowed to do.
- Go to City Hall (near the PD, look for the giant clock) and choose an occupation.
- Buy any licence your work needs at the same desk.
- Use
/job to add a personal subtitle: your business name, your reputation, anything.
Your nameplate then reads something like Tradesman - Vinny's Chop Shop.
Chat commands

Occupations
Chosen at City Hall. Your occupation decides what you can buy, use and do.
- Unemployed: the default. Unlocks nothing.
- Labourer: general work and roleplay.
- Tradesman: mechanic work. Buy a wrench and parts at the Hardware Store.
- Shopkeeper: food and drink, roleplay otherwise.
- Driver: tow truck work.
- Medical: paramedic kit, ambulance NPC, reviving people and seeing who's downed.
- Entrepreneur: business workstations.
- Finance: bank work.
- Press: roleplay.
- Hospitality: pizza kitchen equipment, food and drink.
- Security: roleplay.
- Criminal: drugs, printers and vault robberies, gun crafting.
Changing occupation takes what came with the old one. Switch from Medical to Criminal and your medkit and defibrillator are handed in. You can't collect every capability by cycling through occupations.
Occupation changes have a 60-second cooldown, and you can't change while wanted or within 15 seconds of a fight.
Licences
Bought at City Hall. Most expire, so budget for renewal.
- Firearms Licence: $1,000, lasts 4 hours. Lets you buy guns at the gun shop.
- Business Permit: $5,000, lasts 8 hours. Lets you buy pizza equipment, business workstations, and food and drink.
A licence works instead of the matching occupation. A Business Permit lets a Labourer run a pizzeria.
Jobs you sign on for
These can't be picked from F4 or a chat command. You sign on in person.
- Police (Cadet to Chief): PD front desk. Talk to the Sergeant Aday NPC.
- Firefighter / Fire Chief: fire station. Talk to the NPC standing out front.
- LuminaFX Designer (Junior / Master): nightclub booth. Talk to the NPC at the front desk.
- Mayor: elected. See Mayor below.
No occupation is needed for these. Signing off returns you to Citizen with your occupation intact.
Making money legitimately
Pizzeria
Kitchen equipment (the oven, fridge, customer table and open sign) can only be bought from F4 by Hospitality workers or Business Permit holders. Cook pizzas and serve customers.
Pizzas also restore hunger. A burnt pizza gives less.
Businesses (workstations)
Tradesmen, Shopkeepers, Entrepreneurs or Business Permit holders can buy workstations and hire workers from F4. Only qualified players can use a placed workstation.
Bank work
The Finance occupation or a Business Permit lets you work as a banker, approving and denying loan applications. Anyone can apply for a loan at the bank, near the impound lot.
Tow truck
Driver occupation only. The tow truck NPC is at the Salvage Yard.
Paramedic
Medical occupation. Revive downed players and restock at the ambulance NPC at Southside Medical Center.
Firefighting
Sign on at the fire station. See Jobs you sign on for above.
The underworld
Criminal gameplay such as drug dealing and heists are limited to the Criminal occupation.
Other occupations can still make deals with Criminals or participate in a gang.
Weed
Grow it, then sell it to a weed buyer. Buyers are in various locations and have different prices.
Weed buyers:
- Motel
- Next to the nightclub / basketball court
- The parking lot past the salvage yard
- Diner
- 7-Twelve
Meth
Cook it, then sell it to a meth buyer.
Meth buyers:
- Next to the fire department

Robberies
Crack a safe, grab the money bags, and get them out.
Robbable locations:

Laundering money bags
Stolen money bags aren't usable cash. Take them to a Corrupt Banker to clean them.
Corrupt Bankers:
- Salvage yard
- Office building stairwell
Chop Shop
Stolen vehicles can be sold off at the chop shop located at the Salvage Yard.
You can't sell your own vehicle there.
Prices are based on vehicle stats.
The street fixer
Criminal contacts and equipment for those in the trade. Find them at the Motel, by the soda machine.
The gun shop back room
The gun shop sells licensed firearms to anyone with a Firearms Licence. Some stock is kept in the back, which needs a licence and the Criminal occupation.
Gangs
/gang to open the gang menu. Founding one costs $25,000 and makes you its leader.
The menu has five tabs: Overview, Members, Ranks, Agenda and Leaderboard.
- Ranks are yours to design: up to 8, each with its own permissions.
- The agenda is a shared brief every member can read.
- The leaderboard ranks gangs by the combined wealth of their members.
Your tag shows on your nameplate: [RHB] Criminal - Vinny's Chop Shop.
Worth knowing:
- Membership is per character.
- Invitations expire after 2 minutes.
- A leader must hand over leadership before leaving, unless they're the last member, which disbands the gang.
- Maximum 24 members.
Police
Report to the front desk at the Police Department.
Ranks:
- Cadet: no requirements. Walk in.
- Officer: 1 hour as Cadet.
- Sergeant: 3 hours as Officer, plus a recommendation from the Chief or Mayor.
- Chief: Sergeant, plus the Mayor's recommendation.
Promotion takes two people: someone senior runs /recommend <you> <rank>, then you report to the desk within 10 minutes.
You can't sign on while wanted or under arrest. Clocking off keeps your rank.
Mayor
Elected, not appointed. /election shows the current phase, and /runformayor files your candidacy while signups are open.
A ballot with only one candidate is cancelled, so you need an opponent.
Dying ends your term. You'll be removed from office a few seconds after you get up.
Once elected, type !mayor to open the mayor menu.
The Mayor can buy M4A1 shipments for the police force.
Weapon crafting
With the Criminal occupation you can buy a Gun Crafting Table ($20,000) and boxes of gun parts. Crafting takes time depending on the type of weapon and its strength.
Health, hunger and being downed
Health and armour
You can top off your health and buy armour at Southside Medical Center.
Hunger
Your hunger bar sits under health and armour on the HUD. It turns red when you're running low. Eat before it empties.
Food: pizza from any pizzeria. You can also buy food from the NPC at 7-Twelve, or from a player selling food and drink.
Being downed
When you die, you're unconscious for a while before you can respawn:
- 10 seconds if no paramedics are online
- 30 seconds if one is, because someone could revive you
The death screen counts down, then left-click or press space to respawn.
Only Medical characters can see who's downed. If you're bleeding out, they're the ones who'll find you.
Vehicles
Your vehicle HUD shows fuel, condition and speed. Electric vehicles show CHARGE instead of fuel.
Refuel at a gas station: 7-Twelve or the gas station by the motel.
