To get your crowbar, you need to navigate to the right location and interact with the correct NPC. The crowbar allows you to force entry into locked doors and crack open safes that contain valuable cash and items.
| Acquisition Method | Location | Cost | Team Requirement |
|---|---|---|---|
| NPC Purchase | Near border checkpoint | In-game cash | Civilian/Criminal |
| Secret Tunnel NPC | Underground tunnel before border | In-game cash | Civilian |
| Police Confiscation | Apartment raids | Free (earned) | Police Team |
Before heading to buy a crowbar, make sure you have enough cash saved up. The most efficient route is to head toward the border checkpoint, then take a right turn just before the crossing to find the secret tunnel entrance where an NPC sells tools and money printers.
Using the Crowbar: Breaking Into Apartments and Safes
Once you have obtained your crowbar, the next step is learning how to use it effectively. The primary function of the crowbar is to force entry into locked apartments and crack open safes scattered throughout the housing area.
Apartment Raids
- Force locked doors open with the crowbar
- Check occupancy status at the apartment directory
- Target rooms with active money printers
- Confiscate or steal printers for extra cash
Safe Cracking
- Locate safes inside apartments
- Use crowbar to pry open locked safes
- Collect cash and valuable items
- Works for both criminals and police
Police Warrants
- Run immigration checks on players
- Obtain warrants for illegal border crossers
- Kick down doors legally with a warrant
- Arrest AFK players for bounty rewards
The key to successful apartment raids is knowing which rooms are occupied. Use the apartment directory to check player names and activity status. If a player is inside and AFK, they become an easy target for a quick raid.
If you entered the border illegally, police can obtain a warrant for your arrest. This means they can legally kick down your apartment door, arrest you, and confiscate your money printers. Always cross the border legally to avoid this risk.
Step-by-Step Crowbar Money Farming
Join the Right Team
Switch to the Civilian or Criminal team from the team selection menu. This gives you access to the tools and items needed for apartment raids and money printer farming.
Locate the Secret Tunnel
Spawn a vehicle and drive toward the border checkpoint. Just before reaching the border crossing, take a right turn and follow the path until you find the secret tunnel entrance. Speak to the NPC inside to purchase your crowbar and money printers.
Cross the Border Legally
After purchasing your items, proceed through the border checkpoint legally. This ensures police cannot obtain a warrant for your arrest, keeping your apartment and printers safe from raids.
Claim an Apartment
Head to the apartment complex and claim an empty room. Place your money printers inside and optionally set up a cabbage farm at a beach house for additional passive income while waiting.
Raid Other Apartments
Use your crowbar to break into other players' apartments. Check the directory for occupied rooms, force entry, and collect cash from safes and money printers. Use an auto-clicker to avoid getting kicked for AFK.
You can purchase a Normal Money Printer for 20,000 cash or invest in a Super Money Printer for significantly higher returns. The Super Printer generates more money over time, making it the better long-term investment for serious farmers.
Crowbar Strategies: Police vs Criminal Approaches
The crowbar serves different purposes depending on which team you play. Understanding both approaches helps you maximize your earnings regardless of your chosen role.
| Aspect | Police Team | Criminal/Civilian Team |
|---|---|---|
| Crowbar Access | Through confiscation | Purchased from NPC |
| Apartment Entry | Requires warrant first | Can force entry freely |
| Safe Cracking | Confiscate contents | Steal contents |
| Money Printers | Confiscate for bounty | Keep and farm |
| Risk Level | Low (legal authority) | High (can be arrested) |
| Best For | Active patrol players | AFK farming players |
For police players, the best strategy is to patrol the apartment area and run immigration checks on suspected illegal border crossers. Once you have a warrant, use your crowbar to enforce entry and arrest AFK players for bounty rewards.
For criminals, the optimal approach is to cross the border legally, set up money printers in a claimed apartment, and then use your crowbar to raid other apartments for additional income. This dual-income strategy maximizes your earnings while minimizing risk.
The most effective money-making method combines passive printer income with active apartment raids. Set up your printers, then go raiding with your crowbar while the printers generate cash in the background. Check back periodically to collect your printer earnings.
