VIP

VIP in CIT is a time-based status that gives gameplay perks, utility features, recovery perks, and access to VIP-related commands and customization tools.

VIP is not a side.

Overview

VIP is based on:

VIP hours

VIP hours give benefits such as:

extra pay on most jobs
a higher earn limit
faster healing from medics
faster respawn
vehicle recovery to your location in many cases
access to VIP-only or VIP-related features
tradable VIP hours through F7

VIP and Donator Levels are related, but they are not the same system.

How VIP Works

VIP uses VIP hours.

Important notes:

VIP is time-based
you need at least 10 VIP hours to unlock all VIP features
VIP time goes down at 20% speed while you are offline
after buying VIP, reconnect if the perks do not show right away

How to Get VIP

You can become VIP by:

donating for VIP
buying VIP hours from other players through F7

VIP Vehicle Recovery

VIP changes how vehicle recovery works.

To recover a vehicle:

open F2
or use /vehicles
select the vehicle
click Recover

With VIP recovery:

the vehicle can come to your location
this does not work when you are wanted

Without VIP recovery:

the vehicle goes to the recovery point
or to the nearest allowed spawner instead

A vehicle also goes to the recovery point instead of near you if:

you are wanted
your VIP hours ended
you took damage recently

VIP recovery abuse

VIP recovery is not punishable by itself.

It becomes punishable if you use it to:

get inside inaccessible areas
go through walls

Players usually pay more than the minimum price.

VIP and Donator Levels

VIP hours and Donator Levels are separate systems.

Donator Levels are permanent donation rewards unlocked at fixed donation amounts

A key interaction between them is:

Donator Level 3 gives VIP benefits even when you have 0 VIP hours

Notes

VIP is a status, not a side
VIP hours are tradable through F7
VIP time decreases more slowly while offline
some older systems related to donations and donor perks are separate from VIP itself
