// 01 — GETTING STARTED

Step Onto The Block

01

Wear The HUD

Attach it. First time on, it auto-registers you with the Elm Street server and assigns you a unique RID — your private player ID. It shows in chat. Write it down. Never share it.

02

Set Your Identity On The Web

Log into the web dashboard and set a character name (up to 32 characters) and a description (up to 250 characters). This is what other players see on the live map and your public profile.

03

Get Coin From The ATM

Find an Elm Street ATM in-world. Pay L$ — receive Coin. You can also buy from the web wallet. Coin is what everything runs on. You need it to found a gang, post hits, and survive a death.

04

Pick A Role On Your Profile

Go to the web profile page and choose your primary role. This sets your XP track and what the meter above your head shows other players. You can change it anytime.

05

Go Live

Hit the visibility toggle on your HUD. Three modes: Incognito (invisible), Heat Only (contributes to density, no pin), or Live — a full pin on the web map so the street knows where you are.

// 02 — THE HUD

Three States. One Tool.

Always Visible

Closed Strip

Compact mode. Shows your quick status and Coin balance at a glance. Stays on screen always.

Action Layer

Open Menu

Expands to your main action buttons — Wallet, Players, Gang, Services, and more as your Street Level grows.

Deep Info

Panel View

Full display for lists, sub-menus, gang rosters, transaction history, and confirmations.

// 03 — WHAT IT DOES

Core Features

// MONEY

Wallet & Coin

Check your balance, view your last transactions, and send tips to nearby players HUD-to-HUD — all in real time.

// VISIBILITY

Live Map Toggle

Flip between Incognito, Heat-only, and Live. Live drops a pin on the web map. Others can see you — and come find you.

// SOCIAL

Player Picker & Tipping

Open the player list, pick a nearby avatar, and send Coin directly. No clipboard, no web form — done from the HUD.

// CREWS

Gang Menu

Invite members by RID, kick, promote, and set ranks from the HUD. Boss Tools only for Boss and Underboss.

// COMBAT

Kill Detection

Use your own SL weapons. The HUD listens on the kill channel. Deaths trigger bounty payouts, XP awards, and the Coin death tax automatically.

// IDENTITY

Overhead Meter

Worn on the head separately. Shows your gang, character name, role, Street Level, and HP bar to anyone nearby.

// 04 — TEN HUSTLES

Pick Your Hustle

01 / EARNER

The Plug

Moves weight. Runs supply chains. Quiet money, big money.

02 / EARNER

Trap Star

Street-level dealer. Fastest Coin, most heat. Live fast.

Lift it, fence it, gone. Property is a suggestion.

04 / EARNER

Build a stable. Take your cut. Reputation is everything.

05 / EARNER

Independent or repped. Every booking earns Coin and Skill XP.

06 / EARNER

Contracts come through the bounty board. Close a hit, claim the treasury.

07 / EARNER

09 / EARNER

Cook

You make what the Plug moves. The supply chain starts here.

10 / LAW

Track. Warrant. Bust. The only legal hustle on Elm Street.

The Grind Is Real

XP is earned by kills, completed jobs, and time spent Live on the map. Each Street Level unlocks more HUD features and makes you eligible for higher gang ranks. Levels cannot be bought or skipped.

Skill XP runs in parallel — one track per role. It controls your payout tiers and unlocks role-specific abilities the higher you grind.

// On Death

You lose a % of carried Coin — banked Coin is safe. Small XP penalty, but you can't drop below your current level threshold. The killer takes your lost Coin as a death tax. Respawn on a timer or pay Coin to skip.

// 06 — CREWS & BEEF

Build A Gang.

Hit the Coin threshold and found a gang. Name it, tag it. Build a rank ladder. The Boss runs everything from the HUD — invite by RID, kick, promote, set ranks, manage the treasury.

Post hits from the gang treasury. Any player who closes the contract cashes out. Declare beef. Run turf. Tax your members.

Self-defense is real — kill the gang that put a hit on you and the contract flips. Your treasury collects.
