Hey There Cutie <3

Welcome to Fifth Family. Have you found yourself feeling confused or maybe you are brand new? You are in the right place!

I plan to add on to this, but for starters let’s begin with some quick tips to set you up for the game so you aren’t left confused and you get yourself prepared to progress further.

First things first, if you are offline and brand new you will be attacked…a lot…It is not personal, everyone gets gold during attacks and is trying to collect their 200 gold a day (PS don’t forget to collect 200 gold per day during attacks). Stock up on med kits found in the Black Market - City tab (downtown).

In the black market you can also find a variety of items (items change in each district what is offered in the black market) and most importantly adrenaline shots, and nerve & energy tonics. Were you wondering what to spend your gold on? This should be the first thing your gold goes to. Once a week you can collect these tonics and use them to progress yourself in the game or sell to financially progress yourself in the game. These are hot commodity.

Still got some gold left? Upgrade your mansion or use it to progress your gym gains faster!! Do not be like me and open loot boxes, it is bad.

How can you increase your stats? The gym and your gear. Each district offers better gear as you progress. Green-Blue-Purple-Gold-Red with Red being the highest rated gear, and also known as mythic.

You can also take an academy course to boost your stats and give you other bonuses (like increasing your crime success rate). The mansion also offers other boosts besides just stats. Go check it out and base your choices around your gamestyle.

How to make money? Crimes (nerve), Street Intel (stamina), Career (energy), Racing (nerve), and my personal favorite smuggling. Spend every single bar you have and never let them go to waste. Remember what I said earlier about collecting 200 gold? Every day you can attack people (stamina) and get gold from attacks, achieving a maximum of 200 gold per day. You can also get rackets (nerve) and real estate (cash) in each district for passive income. Don’t forget each day you get to do 6 heists (nerve) and these are huge cash boosts. I can make a couple million a day personally, and once you level up you will unlock better heists to be able to do which is a better financial reward.

Smuggling begins with sellers coming downtown to you, but once you can travel, you will now purchase items in the district and fly back and forth. Whatever you do, only sell items when they are a profit. Never sell items when they are in negative. RED IS BAD.

How are you able to travel, you wonder? Well you master all your crimes in the district and defeat the district boss. After that you are able to progress to the next district.

If you want the best advice, use your platinum to get vigilante fragments (these are permanent stats) and don’t make your profile pretty like me 😛
Final thoughts for now:
Don’t forget to use your bloodline points. When you do use your bloodline points base around your playstyle and stat build.

Spin the lucky wheel for free every day [in the more tab]

Use the Wiki for extra help and to get a sneak peek at stuff you don’t have access to (like what items you need for future crimes or upcoming gear you want to purchase when you unlock the district) [in the more tab]

Join a Family HQ for a community, perk bonuses, and people to learn from

Buy a decent car because cars have permanent stats. Yes, I did save 30 million for the best car and it was ABSOLUTELY worth it. You don’t have to start with that car, but having a car matters in this game.

For more advanced players, players have been able to make money off the stock market, but that’s not my niche so I cannot guide you there.

The arena and fight club can be fun if you are into a fighting playstyle. The fight club can be accrued passively by getting 200 gold everyday. The arena you need to pick and choose your battles carefully. Each win and lose will affect your score. The higher your score the better your prize. The top fighter in arena gets a special prize, last week the first winner won a mythic belt

I’ll add more as I think of stuff but I noticed a lot of players joining and wanted to give them a little advice without having to repeat myself over and over <3 I hope this helps and you guys love 5th Fam as much as me xoxo

I already want to add when you do your heists the goal shouldn’t be to complete them, once you feel like you’ve secured enough cash-CASH OUT. It’s better to make money versus risking for a loot reward (my personal opinion)
