There are four ways to pass something to another character. All of them need your consent, and all but the bank transfer work only up close: nobody can take your things or money unless you act.
| Method | What it passes | Distance |
|---|---|---|
| Trade window | Items and cash, both ways | Up to 4 m |
| Give an item | One item from your inventory | Up to 4 m |
| Hand over cash | Cash | Up to 5 m |
| Bank transfer | Money from account to account by a card or phone number | From anywhere: at a branch, an ATM or in the “Bank” app |
#The trade window
- Walk up to a player, press G and choose “Offer a trade”.
- They have 30 seconds to answer with G.
- Each of you puts items from your pockets and cash on the table. Things you're wearing and money in your account can't go on it.
- You both press “Ready”. Any change on the table takes “Ready” off for both of you.
- Once you're both ready, you get 3 seconds to check everything once more, and then each of you presses “Confirm”. The whole trade happens at once.
- Up to 12 kinds of items on each side.
- Before the trade, the server checks both players' weight and item limits: if something won't fit, the trade doesn't go through.
- The trade is called off if someone presses Esc or leaves the game, you move more than 7 m apart, or someone is knocked out, cuffed, jailed or picked up and carried.
- If the player declined or didn't answer, you can offer them a trade again after 10 seconds.
#Giving an item
In your inventory (Tab), right-click an item and choose to give it to the nearest player. The recipient needs enough room and enough carrying weight left.
#Handing over cash
- Through the G menu: “Hand over cash” and the amount.
- With a command like
/pay #12 500: the player's number and the amount. If you're acquainted, you can type their name instead of the number.
The recipient gets a notification of who gave them how much.
You can also send money from account to account from afar: how it works, the limits and the fee are on the Money and the bank page.
#What you can't give
- Personal items: your phone and documents, including the gun license.
- Ammo: it can't be given, thrown away or put into storage. Everyone buys their own ammo.
- A new character's money and things: for the first 120 minutes of play, a new character can't send money (by transfer, by hand or in a trade) or hand things on: not give them, trade them, throw them away, or put them in someone else's wardrobe, someone else's trunk or a faction stash. The game says “A new character can't hand things on yet: N min more of play”. Their own things can go into their own wardrobe or their own car's trunk, except the starter clothes. They can't pay money into a faction treasury or a business account either, and the fines, treatment, ads and taxi rides they pay for are paid to the city: no treasury and no other player gets that money. Receiving money and things works right away. Time while you're away from the keyboard doesn't count toward those minutes.
