Vehicle Recovery

Vehicle Recovery is the system used to bring back an owned vehicle. It is mainly used through Vehicle Manager (F2) or /recover.

Fast recovery answer

Open F2 or use /vehicles, select the vehicle, then click Recover. You can also use /recover for the vehicle currently selected in F2.

Recovery behavior

VIP recovery	Can recover to your location unless you are wanted.
No VIP	Goes to the recovery point or nearest allowed spawner.
Wanted, VIP ended, or recently damaged	Goes to the recovery point.
Large planes	Can only be recovered at airports.
Near Armed Robbery	Blocked within `40` units.

Useful recovery commands

Command or key	Use	Notes
`/recover`	Recover selected F2 vehicle	If nothing is selected, it selects the top vehicle in F2.
`/bvrp`	Toggle recovery pad blips	Recovery points are markable with `/gps`.
`/pick ID`	Pick vehicle by F2 number	Useful when you know the vehicle number.

How to recover

To recover a vehicle:

Open F2 or use /vehicles.
Select the vehicle.
Click Recover.

You can also use /recover. It recovers the vehicle currently selected in F2.

VIP and Non VIP Recovery

Type	Result
VIP recovery	Can bring the vehicle to your location
Wanted player	VIP recovery does not bring the vehicle directly to you
Wanted recovery wait	Wanted players can hide a vehicle during the `10` second recovery wait
Without VIP	Vehicle goes to the recovery point or nearest allowed spawner

Vehicle recovery can also send some law vehicles to the nearest vehicle spawner.

Vehicle recovery points are markable in /gps. They are not visible red and yellow in game markers. If your vehicle is sent to one, use /gps to mark that location.

Non VIP Recovery

Non VIP recovery depends on your role, job, side, and vehicle type.

Use Non-VIP Vehicle Recovery for the full role list.

Common examples:

Role	Vehicles
Everyone	`Faggio`, `Caddy`, `Moonbeam`, every pedal bike, `Dinghy`, and `Sweeper`
Criminals and gangsters	`Stafford`, `Greenwood`, and `Sultan`
Cops from any location	`Police LS`, `Medic Car`, `S.W.A.T.`, `Undercover Police`, and `HPV1000`

Military and Rebel recovery without VIP is historical because Military and Rebel are disabled.

Apartment and Dimension Recovery

Recovering an F2 vehicle while in an apartment, and in some other dimensions, clones car tuning and many other features.

Bind Recovery

You can bind recovery to a key:

/bind [key] recover

Example:

/bind Q recover

Pick is Different

Recover uses the recovery system.

Pick spawns the vehicle where it was last spawned.

Vehicle Stats

Use Vehicle Stats when you need the full stat table, exact max speed values, acceleration values, mass values, traction values, and ranking tables.

CITmap Counts

These counts come from the CITmap data. Use them as quick count summaries only. Some CITmap icons are custom.

Other means counties, small towns, airports, sea points, or non city areas as labelled in CITmap.

Type	LS	SF	LV	Other	Total
Recovery points	`1`	`0`	`1`	`5`	`7`
