What unlocks when
Every level gate in the game, in order, and what grows a little with every level.
Most gates read your total level. The pimp’s ladder reads your civilian rank, and the tow truck reads your Towing skill.
| When | Which level | What opens |
|---|---|---|
| From the start | Tow dispatch rank 1. Trucking cargo and petrol runs. Simeon’s repo jobs. The pimp’s Trouble on the corner. Shop and ATM hold-ups (once the walkthrough reaches them). Fishing, racing, the G6 insider. Every dealership but Premium Deluxe. Joining a team. | |
| 3 | Civilian | The pimp’s Collect the earnings (at night only, 19:00 to 06:00 game time) |
| 3 | Total | Banks: walk up to a Fleeca, or /heists for Pacific Standard |
| 3 | Towing | Tow rank 2: the Large Tow Truck, highway breakdowns, calls after dark |
| 4 | Total | Trucking random events: illegal goods, fragile goods, zoo animals |
| 5 | Total | Create a group (/creategroup). Lease a business slot (/businesses) |
| 5 | Civilian | The pimp’s Rival on the block |
| 6 | Towing | Tow rank 3: the Flatbed, police seizures, impound transfers, gang cars, calls further out |

| 15 | Civilian | The pimp’s VIP Escort: the whole ladder is open |

| 20 | Hacking | Another step easier |
| 25 | Civilian | The heads-up race stake stops growing ($6,000) |
No level needed for joining a team (not while you’re wanted, and the police turn away anyone with unpaid tickets), robbing Vangelico, attacking a Gruppe Sechs truck, buying a weapon at Ammu-Nation (no licence either), or buying from Lester (civilians only).
What grows a little every level
- The pimp’s pay: 1% more per civilian level, up to 50% more.
- A heads-up race stake: $1,000 plus $200 per civilian level, up to $6,000. It’s always the lower of what the two racers’ levels and cash allow.
- Your haggle at the pawn shop: a 45% chance, plus 2% per Robbing level, up to 80% (from Robbing 18).
Business reputation
Your Business skill is your reputation as a small-business holder:
| Reputation | Business skill | What it gives |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 2 | 10% off washes and club drinks |
| 2 | 4 | Business jobs cool down 20% faster and pay you 15% more |
| 3 | 7 | Others on your jobs earn 25% more; your jobs earn the business 15% more; a second slot |
| 4 | 11 | Your slots earn 15% more |
| 5 | 16 | Your slots can pay into your paycheck instead of the safe |
