Follow the green arrows
When you spawn, follow the glowing green floor arrows. Hugh Dunnit (your Mexico contact) will message you with each step of the tutorial. Do not skip the first robbery — it teaches the basic loot drag and pawn shop loop.
Rob the first two houses
Beat any guards inside with your fists (M1 / click). Loot jewelry, electronics, and small paintings. Drag items to your inventory with E. Inventory is limited — pick the highest-value items per slot (see Loot Value Calculator).
Drive to the nearest pawn shop
Sell your loot for Credz. The map shows pawn shop locations — drive there before the police wanted level climbs.
Buy gas + weapons
Spend Credz on gas (so you can drive), weapons (Pistol or melee backup), and ammo. Do not over-buy on the first run.
Cross into Oklahoma
Drive south toward the Kansas / Oklahoma border. Cross it to earn the Kansas Checkpoint badge. You are now in mid-game.
Plan your police evasion
Use the Escape Route & Police Heat Planner tool to plan gas and heat costs for the rest of the run. Open the Tools menu.
