Step-by-Step Walkthrough

1

Open the Interaction Menu

To start giving money to friends, you first need to access the Interaction Menu. Press the designated button for your platform (M on PC, Touchpad on PS4/5, or Back button on Xbox) to bring up the menu.

Pro tip: Ensure you’re in a public or private session where you can interact with friends.

2

Select ‘Money’ Options

Once the Interaction Menu is open, scroll down to find the 'Money' option. This will give you various choices for transferring cash to your friends.

3

Choose Your Transfer Method

You can choose between 'Drop Cash' or 'Give Cash'. 'Drop Cash' allows you to drop a certain amount on the ground for your friend to pick up, while 'Give Cash' lets you transfer money directly to their account.

Pro tip: Use 'Drop Cash' if your friend is nearby to make it fun!

4

Confirm the Transfer

After selecting your transfer method, enter the amount you would like to give your friend. Confirm the transaction to complete the process. Make sure you have enough cash in your account before initiating the transfer.

5

Notify Your Friend

Once the transfer is complete, it's a good idea to let your friend know. They will receive the money instantly if you used the 'Give Cash' option or can pick up the cash immediately if you dropped it.

Pro tip: Communicate via voice chat or messages to make the process smoother.

Tips & Tricks

  • Always check your cash balance before transferring money.
  • Make sure your friend is online to receive the money.
  • Use 'Drop Cash' in a safe area to avoid unwanted attention from other players.
  • Consider forming a crew to share resources and money easily.
