The long-awaited hit from the developer RockStar! Released for Playstation, Xbox and PC. The game takes place in the city of Los Santos and its surroundings. The gameplay has been changed beyond recognition: a lot of possibilities have been added and the life and biography of each character has been thought out in detail.

New features

In this part of the popular game appeared new opportunity: play for the three main characters of GTA-5 at once. Character switching is possible both in free play mode and in missions. But provided that the protagonist is present in the plot. In addition to the three main characters, the game has many secondary characters with whom the player can interact.

In GTA 5, the characters have their own history and a set of specific skills.

How to change character in GTA 5

At the beginning of the game, only one hero is available - Franklin, then it becomes possible to play as Michael, and only after that Trevor appears.

Changing characters in GTA-5 will become available after the mission “Friends Reunion”, and you can change heroes all subsequent times. But some missions are completed by only one character, and some by two. In some cases, switching occurs without the participation of the player.

When playing GTA-5, you cannot choose only one character to play. To advance in the story, you will have to play with everyone, except for completing some tasks.

In GTA-5, characters who are not used by the player can go about their business: sleep, drive a car, clean the house, and so on. You can catch your hero doing anything that suits his character. When switched, the camera rises above Los Santos and pans Google Maps style to the selected character.

How to change a character in GTA 5 on PS 3 and XBOX? To do this, press and hold the Down button.

How to switch a character in GTA 5 on PC? This is done with the F8 key.

The change window will appear at the bottom of the screen, in the right corner. Michael's color is blue, Trevor's is orange, Franklin's is green. There is a fourth sector - for the character GTA Online. If it is not created, the sector will remain empty.

How to switch a character in GTA-5 to Chop? You can only play as Franklin the dog in two missions: “Chop” and “Predator”. The chop will be displayed in the wheel, and you can switch to it in the same way as a regular player.

Michael

Former criminal. He was involved in crime in the Midwest. In the past, he is a successful bank robber, but has now retired. After a failed case, he changed his last name and made a deal with the FBI. He lives in the prestigious Rockford Hills area under the guise of the program with his wife and two children.

The relationship with his wife is not working out: she is a little crazy and loves to lead a luxurious life, naturally, with her husband’s money. The relationship with children is also not very good. Michael gets tired of the daily routine, and thanks to his wife, his money is running out, and he decides to return to crime. Michael finds his old friend Trevor and the young boy Franklin. Everyone starts robbing together.

The character's special skill is shooting. He is better at wielding firearms than anyone else. Can slow down time when firing. He is also the “brain center” of the team. It is he who works out all the plans for robberies.

Michael is thoughtful and calculating, and can change his masks depending on the situation. Having achieved everything he wanted in life, now he doesn’t know what to do next. This is another reason why he wants to return to crime.

Trevor

Former military pilot. Currently, he is a forty-year-old crazy robber who is on drugs. Lives in a trailer in Blaine County. I have known Michael for a long time - they robbed banks together.

He's Canadian. Dissolute life, drug and alcohol abuse left their traces. He has many scars, a bald spot and a tattoo on his neck. He does not take care of himself: he is unkempt and always wears dirty, wrinkled clothes.

Trevor is fearless and easy-going. You won’t have to persuade him to commit a crime; he will agree without hesitation. But at the same time he is very hot-tempered and aggressive, and can resort to violence for no reason. He does not like it when his freedom is limited, and does not accept the word “no”. Always having fun to the fullest. He does not know how to be a hypocrite, is loyal to his friends and is always honest.

Trevor and Michael once had a strong friendship, but after the latter made a deal with the FBI, they quarreled. At the time of the game, the characters interact, but often argue.

A special skill is piloting. Can fly airplanes and helicopters. It also has the ability to go into frenzy - dealing double damage and taking half as much damage.

Franklin

This character is young: he is about twenty years old. Franklin never had a family. At one time he sold drugs, after one of the transactions he was arrested. He is engaged in collecting debts from those poor people who cannot pay off a loan for a car taken from an Armenian car dealership.

I met Michael when I tried to steal his son's car. Franklin saw in him a man who would help find the real deal. After a showdown over a stolen car, he comes home to Michael asking him to join his team. He refused him, but agreed to have a drink with Franklin at the bar. At this time, Michael's son was supposed to sell his father's yacht, but the buyers steal it and kidnap his son. Franklin offers his help, and they go to work together. After saving his son, Michael invites Franklin to come to him again.

Due to his youth, the hero is very ambitious, sometimes naive and gladly gets involved in any adventures. Has a dog, which he considers his best friend.

A special skill is riding. Since Franklin is a professional car thief, he is well versed in cars. Also, being inside a car can slow down time.

Minor characters of "GTA-5"

• Dave Norton. Another friend of Michael's. He works for the FBI and placed his friend in the witness protection program.
• Lamar Davis. Franklin's best friend, despite the difference of views and constant discussions.

• Chop- Franklin's dog is a Rottweiler and is also the most best friend. You can control Chop in one of the missions, and train it in your free time.

Characters from previous GTA parts

In GTA-5, characters appear from other parts of the game.

• Patrick McReary. character from GTA 4. You may not even be aware of his presence. Patrick appears in a random event as a mercenary. If you played the fourth GTA and didn’t like this character, then in the sequel there is an opportunity to give him to be torn to pieces by altruists.
• Karen. Another character from the fourth part. Niko, who in fact turned out to be an agent of a government organization. In GTA 5 she continues to master her new profession and succeeds well in it.
• Lazlo Jones. This is one of the few characters who appears in many parts, starting with GTA 3. But in the last part, you can finally see his face, because before that he was only a voice from the radio. Here he is presented as the host of the popular television show “Shame and Glory.”
• Marnie Allen. A random character from GTA-4. In the fifth it plays the same role. Niko's morals helped her give up drugs, which ultimately led her to fans

Leveling up characters

If in the online version of the game leveling up is logical, then in GTA 5 you need to try.

In order to improve your strength, you need to participate in hand-to-hand combat, play tennis and golf.

To shoot you need to go through the shooting range. Plus it will give you a 10 percent discount at the gun store.

Flight skills are improved in flight school tests.

Stamina is pumped up simply - the more you run, the higher the indicator.

To improve your driving skills, you need to cover a lot of mileage and jump from a springboard.

To increase your lung capacity, you need to stay underwater for about twenty minutes in scuba gear.

GTA 5 bugs

Every game has bugs, GTA V is no exception. But besides annoying bugs, there are funny and even sometimes useful ones.

For example, to make quick money. We buy the Sonar Collections dock, and the player has a personal submarine with everything necessary for scuba diving. We get into the boat and look for the package under water. It contains $12,000. As soon as we took the package, we very quickly switch to another character and back, until the hero gets out of the water. The package will remain in its previous place. And this can be done countless times.

Time slowdown bug. If you want to slow down time in the car by playing Michael or Trevor, you just need to open the radio selection wheel and leave it open. Time will begin to move very slowly, but all the functions of the car will remain the same.

A cheating bug for endless health, a whole vehicle and weapons. In mode free play we switch to another character and move on to the previous hero as quickly as possible. That's it, the indicators stop.

Bug with Trevor. If you turn on his ability just before falling from a height, he will not receive any damage.

Game crashes

But there are bugs that are annoying. Basically, GTA 5 crashes when switching characters. As a rule, this is treated by dying the character three times and skipping the mission.

• If GTA-5 crashes when changing characters on a mission with a garbage truck. To avoid this, you need to get into a garbage truck and blow it up three times with a grenade, any other available means, or die yourself in any available way. If you do these steps, the option to skip the mission will appear.
• If GTA-5 crashes when switching characters in the missions “Blitz Game” and “Big Snatch”, go to documents - Rockstar Games - GTA V - Profiles - DFE3B7FD, delete the files cfg.dat and pc_settings.bin. After these steps, launch the game, adjust the brightness and DO NOT GO into the in-game settings. If this method doesn't work, you can try not using sticky bombs to blow up doors.
• Another option to solve all problems if GTA-5 crashes when changing characters is to play in windowed mode in first person. Helps on all missions.
• Problems with aiming in a car. If we use any throwing objects, under no circumstances do we pick them up, aim them, or throw them with the mouse. You need to aim the pistol at the place where you want to throw it, and use the G key on the keyboard.

Cheats and game codes

In order to enter the codes, you need to go to the console by pressing the tilde (~) key. But after entering the codes, you will not be able to receive achievements. To resume the fight for them, you will need to restart the game.

• Character immortality for five minutes - 1-999-724-654-5537. After this time, the code will have to be entered again.
• To restore your armor and health to maximum, you need to enter 1-999-887-853.
• Not very useful code, but if you really want to, you can experiment. We enter 1-999-547-861, and the character becomes drunk, as a result inhibited, and will see others blurry.
• Explosive Melee - 1-999-4684-2637. Each hit will cause explosions and the enemy will die in no time.
• If you enter 1-999-228-8463, the hero will run faster.
• Restore a special ability - 1-999-769-3787. The yellow scale will be at the maximum level.
• To slow down time as much as possible when aiming, you need to enter 1-999-332-3393 four times. The fifth time the slowdown is turned off completely.
• If you use the code 1-999-759-3255, the player will fly into the sky and then begin to fall. But you won’t be able to use a parachute, so this cheat needs to be used in conjunction with immortality.
• If you want the entire police to start actively looking for the hero, enter 1-999-3844-8483. And if this is not enough, we enter the code again, and a tough hunt will begin.
• Funny code for changing gravity. If you enter 1-999-356-2837, then gravity will become like on the Moon. It will be felt when characters jump in GTA-5.

GTA online

Based on this part, the developers made an online game. GTA-5 characters appear in it, but besides them, you can create your own hero. You can carry out any type of activity with it: rob banks, attack other players, participate in races.

How to create a character in GTA-5 online? To begin with, the grandparents are selected, then the parents' data is selected, and the result is a character with the corresponding genes. Gender is selected. Clothes can be changed later.

Once you have decided on your appearance, you need to choose your interests. Twenty-four hours of his life are given for this. They need to be distributed among different pastime options. Let’s say that by choosing to exercise in the gym, the character will turn out to be physically developed and resilient. But, on the other hand, shooting and driving skills will be weak.

There are seven options in total - sleep, sports, friends and family, crime, legal work, lying on the couch, parties and parties.

If you choose to lie on the couch, the character will be lazy, but with developed driving skills.

It will be best if you distribute points so that the skills match the style of play in GTA-5. Character creation, as well as leveling up, must be done wisely, otherwise the game will not be fun.

In the online version of GTA-5, leveling up your character is very logical and simple: you need to rob, kill and steal. In general, play your character and thereby increase your level.

In an online game, a problem may arise: the character in GTA-5 is displayed with stripes. To solve this, you need a video card.

Have a fun and interesting time playing the game!

It happens that you don’t really like the appearance of a character in GTA Online
It doesn’t matter, because officially you can change your appearance, but only once after level 6.
What should the rest of the handsome guys do? whose level is high and the characteristics are already 100%, and it’s a pity to delete a character in order to create a new one for the sake of appearance.
After all, RockstarGames didn’t separate button or they didn’t add such a function so that we could change our appearance whenever we want, but here a bug comes to the rescue.
Bugs are generally bad, but this bug does exist.

When I transferred my character from PS3 to PC, I was offered to change my appearance, but I messed it up and it turned out ugly.
As a result, thanks to a bug, I made my appearance better..... by the way, they told me that it was Sasha Gray, and they joked all sorts of things.

So let's start remaking our character.
First, we need a second character of the 6th level, if you don’t have one or the place is already taken by another character, then either create or delete the old one and create a new one.
Next, go into the game (single player) and select a character from the pause menu.

yes yes, on the screen online..... but you need to do it from single player.

We press Enter on the keyboard and get to the menu.

We select our character of the 6th level (you must level him up to the 6th level and then go into a single player game before that).
Then we press Enter and this window appears.

Of course, we don’t click anywhere, but simply turn off the Internet connection. It’s different for everyone - who needs a router, and who needs to pull out the cable.

If after this the inscription on the screen does not change, there is nothing terrible, just press the Home button and exit the game by clicking on the gear next to the profile name.

And after that the following comes out:

Naturally, we click “NO” and then they write to us.

Press our favorite Enter key again.
Once in a single-player game, we return the Internet without leaving the game, you can check by pressing the HOME key and see if there is a connection to the network and whether you can write to friends or go to the store.

Today we will present several options for solving the question of how to change the main car in GTA-5. This project pleased many fans with its unusual gameplay, unique character abilities, as well as plot development and special realism.

Purchasing through an online store

Let's move on to the first option for solving the question of how to change a personal car in GTA-5. It should be noted that the heroes’ capabilities expand as they overcome missions. In addition, capital increases. Thus, the desired car can be purchased via telephone. The car will go into the garage and become equivalent to the main transport. There are about 257 vehicles in the game, presented in various categories. Therefore, we are given a fairly diverse choice.

So, in order to solve the question of how to change the main car in GTA-5, we place an order. To do this, we take out the hero’s phone. Select the Internet function. Go to the website Eyefind.info. Select the item Travel and Transport. In the list provided, indicate the online store you like. We choose the appropriate type of transport. We make a purchase. The purchase can be found in the garage. However, you should remember that if the car is completely destroyed, it will be lost forever, and you will have to make the purchase again.

If you use special GTA skins, you can change appearance not only the car, but also the surrounding world. These components do not require financial costs and are usually installed in automatic mode. However, even a car modified in this way can be confiscated, and you will have to look for it at the impound lot. Returning to the features of the online store, it should be noted that there are brands that cannot be found on the street. Therefore, this option allows you to get a truly exclusive car.

Hijacking

Now let's look at a simpler solution to the question of how to change the main car in GTA-5, but it is also less legal. We are talking about theft. It is most convenient to carry out in a sparsely populated place. This approach will reduce the likelihood of encountering the police. The car obtained in this way should be stored in a garage, otherwise it may disappear without a trace.

Tuning

This approach will help if the amount of funds is very limited and it is not possible to change the car. You can make your old car look like new by going to Los Santos Customs. There are many possibilities here. After all the transformations, it will be extremely difficult to recognize the car.

You can tune not only cars, but also motorcycles. Los Santos Customs workshops are distributed throughout the city. Access to them opens after completing the task “Father and Son”. Let's go to the workshop. We talk to the mechanic. During the conversation, we indicate the necessary improvements. We pay the bill, and the car gets a new life.

Amateur modification

There is another option for solving the question of how to change the main car in GTA-5. This decision Suitable only for the PC version of the game. The creators of various modifications offer options that allow you not only to change the main car, but also to choose brands that were not previously represented in the project. A number of critics believe that this approach can significantly refresh the gameplay. Similar modifications are also found in the public domain.

Another option involves using cheat codes. This approach can be considered a traditional hacking option. Using special combinations, you can get the car you want or modify your existing vehicle almost beyond recognition. In any case, it is up to you to decide which method to use. Good luck in the game!

The long-awaited shooter GTA 5 has pleased many gamers with its unusual gameplay, unique abilities of the characters, plot development and all other subtleties that add characteristic contrast and approximate realism to the game. After four long years of intense and fruitful work, the American publisher Rockstar Games presented the fifteenth game in the series in September 2013. Grand Theft Auto GTA 5.

The creators return us to the much-loved state of San Andreas at its best. Now you will run through the streets of the fictional city of Los Santos, the prototype of which is Los Angeles. It is worth noting that for the first time in the history of the entire Grand series Theft Auto you have to control three main characters at once, between whom you can switch almost at any time. Accordingly, users have a lot of questions regarding some of the subtleties of the game. For example, one of the most asked of them sounds like this: how to change the main car in GTA 5 ? Now we'll figure it out.

In order not to mislead our reader, we immediately note that there is practically no direct opportunity to change the main machine. You can find this answer on many forums. Why is this so? Yes, because these vehicles are often used in missions. They are an integral part of the plot. For example, Michael drives a sedan. His task is to catch up with the target. All the characteristics of this car allow you to balance the level of passage. That is, the task is doable, but also quite difficult. This balance allows the player to follow the scenario clearly. The point is not only this, but also that changing the car in a mission would break the entire gameplay.

However, do not despair ahead of time, because there is an alternative way out of this situation. Let's take a closer look at it.

Purchasing through an online store

To begin with, let us emphasize that the heroes’ capabilities expand as they complete missions. At the same time, your capital increases. During this time, you can already afford to buy the desired car using your phone, which will soon show off in your garage along with your main transport. There are about 257 vehicles of different categories in the game. So, the choice before you will be quite wide and varied. To place an order, follow these steps:

• get it cell phone hero;
• select the “Internet” function;
• on the “Eyefind.info” website, select the “Travel and Transport” section;
• Select your favorite online store from the list provided;
• select the car you are interested in (or another type of transport) and make a purchase.

You need to look for a purchase in the garage. But remember, if your “swallow” is completely broken, it will be lost forever and you will have to make the purchase again. If your car is confiscated by the police, look for it at the nearest impound lot. Let’s add that in online stores there are brands that you won’t see on the street. Therefore, if you want an exclusive car, you will have to fork out some money.

Car theft

The most commonplace and easiest way to get a new vehicle without much effort. Try to do this in a sparsely populated place so as not to run into the cops. In principle, this is the main ideological element of this game, since its name literally translates as “The Great Car Robbery.” But, of course, your choice will be limited. It is unlikely that you will be lucky enough to meet any sports car. To prevent your vehicle from disappearing without a trace, store it in a garage.

Tuning

If you are worried that you can’t find a way to change your car, and you don’t have much money, then this method is for you. Upgrade your car in the coolest workshop, Los Santos Customs. There are a decent amount of opportunities there, thanks to which you can change your car almost beyond recognition. You can tune both cars and motorcycles. Los Santos Customs garages are scattered throughout the city. Access to them will be unlocked immediately after completing the mission “Father and Son”. Having arrived there, you will have a conversation with the mechanic, in which you select the necessary improvements. Then pay the money and...that's all. Your car will find a new life.

Amateur modification

This option only applies to playing on PC, since such add-ons are not available on Xbox One and PlayStation 4. Modmakers are now actively working to ensure that users not only have the opportunity to change the main car, but also choose brands that were not previously in GTA 5. That is, they want to add other vehicle models. According to many, this will significantly refresh the game itself. Such mods will be freely available in the near future.

Cheat codes

This is, one might say, the traditional way to achieve what you want in the game. With the help of several combinations of letters and numbers, you can “decide” for yourself a cool car or another type of transport. However, when using cheat codes you should know some nuances:

• You won’t see any achievements from completing missions;
• do not work online.

You can find these cheat codes on any thematic website. They can be used both on a PC and on other more modern game consoles.

Thus, you can choose any method that suits you, which will instantly solve your problem.
