First things to do when you join
Step
The game is performance-heavy, so make sure your device has at least 4 GB of RAM before you start — 8 GB or more is recommended. Your default character is Sam. Once you're in, take a moment to set yourself up before wandering off.
- Open controls press the controller icon in your inventory to see the full control list; on a controller or console, press Select first to get the virtual cursor.
- Look around inventory you start with a few free cosmetic items like a Phone and Umbrella, which cost nothing.
- Grab a Water Bottle early at $1.25 from Café Verde or the Gas Station, it's the cheapest way to keep your thirst stat from bottoming out.

Keeping your moods up
Tips
Your character tracks three mood stats: Hunger, Thirst, and Energy. If all three hit 0% you earn the badge 'I'm not feeling so good...' — but more importantly, you'll be in rough shape. Stock consumables before long sessions.
- The Ghost Burger ($24.99 at Burger Place) fills all three stats to 100% — the single best item for mood recovery.
- Beans ($2.19 at the Gas Station) give 30% hunger for very little cash.
- Coffee ($5.99 at Café Verde) restores 50% thirst and 25% energy at the same time.
- Fiery Sauce ($13.49 at the Gas Station) completely refills energy on its own.
- Watermelon ($4.29 at the Gas Station) splits 50% hunger and 50% thirst across one cheap item.
- Goldenberries from the Mayor's mansion give the most hunger and thirst per berry among harvestable plants.
Working jobs
CheckThere are four places to work: Café Verde, Burger Bite, Pat's Pizza Parlor, and the Hospital. At the first three you take customer orders and deliver the right food or drink; at the Hospital you play as a doctor delivering tools and medications to patients, or as a janitor cleaning spills with a mop from the second floor. Getting an order wrong causes the customer to leave with no reward.
- Buy the Writing Upgrade at Burger Bite for $1,500 it shows the customer's order in the bottom-right corner so you don't forget it; buy it separately for each character you play.
- Watch for special customers VIP, Shiny, Rich, and Angelic customers all pay more than standard ones.
- If you have Roblox Premium, Premium customers can appear and give 5x cash, 3x the customer count, and 2x XP.
- Each job tracks its own level independently, so leveling up at the pizza place does not carry over to the cafe.
Harvesting plants and selling them
Tips
Plants grow all around the map. Berries restore hunger and thirst when eaten and can also be sold. Flowers cannot be eaten but can be sold. Selling at the Wilderness Camp in the forest or at the Isle Village pays double the base value for any plant.
- Carry Shears ($74.99 at the Isle Village Shop) while harvesting — they cut the harvest time in half.
- Petunias at the Mayor's mansion sell for $4.99 each.
- Sunflowers at the construction site and Thomas's house go for $3.49 each.
- Goldenberries ($2.99 each) from the Mayor's mansion are the most valuable berry you can sell.
- Harvesting 1,000 plants total earns the Harvester III badge — any plant type counts.
- Your running total of harvested plants shows as Plant Worth (PW) in the top-right of your screen.
Bounties
Table
Go to Police Chief Maxwell to pick up a bounty. You need a Bounty Radar ($274.99 at the Police Station) to track the target and a Rope ($24.99 at the Police Station) to capture them. You can return a target dead or alive, but bringing them in alive pays double.
| Easy | target has an Assault Rifle, no body armor on anyone; pays $150 alive or $75 dead |
| Medium | target has a Hunting Rifle, everyone has body armor; pays $350 alive or $175 dead |
| Hard | target has a Minigun, everyone has stronger body armor; pays $850 alive or $425 dead |
| 10 bounties milestone | unlocks the Luger weapon and access to Medium bounties |
| 30 bounties milestone | unlocks the Bounty Hunter outfit and access to Hard bounties |
| Loot a dead target | Maxwell's notes remind you to loot the body for extra cash even when you get the reduced dead reward |
Quests and quest multiplying
StepPick up quests from the quest menu near Matthew at M&M's Whimsical Journeys. Finishing a quest earns quest tickets, which you spend on unique rewards or extra quest slots. The reward can vary between 1 and 3 tickets per quest.
- Get a quest visit Matthew at M&M's Whimsical Journeys and open the quest menu.
- Multiply it pay $100 to double both the requirement and the reward before you start working on it; this is what earns the Quest Multiplier badge.
- Delete it if needed pay $25 to remove a quest you don't want.
- Greet quests you can greet the same NPC repeatedly, making greet-based quests quick to clear.
- Harvesting quests equip Shears while working on these to finish faster.
- Track progress complete 5, 25, and 100 quests to earn the Quester, Experienced Quester, and Master Quester badges.
Weapons and where to get them
Tips
Weapons split into handguns, automatic guns, shotguns, rifles, melees, explosives, and a miscellaneous category. Your fists are available from the start at no cost.
- The Gun Store is your main source — pistols, assault rifles, shotguns, snipers, crowbar, knife, sword, axe, and explosives are all there.
- The Minigun at the Gun Store costs $12,499.99 and buying it earns the Havoc Wreaker badge.
- Reaching 10 completed bounties unlocks the Luger pistol as a milestone reward.
- The Gem Quest rewards include the Laser Rifle, Laser Minigun, and Dragon Slayer — the only way to get those three.
- Jeriah's Trading Post sells the M1 Garand, Hunting Rifle, and Crossbow.
- The Sawed-off Shotgun is sold at the Isle Village shop, not the Gun Store.

Common questions
FAQWhere do I find the controls?
Press the controller icon inside your inventory to open the full control list. If you're playing on a controller or console, press Select first to enable the virtual cursor, then navigate to the icon.
Does my progress carry over between the sandbox and the multiplayer version?
No — Ultimate Town Multiplayer is a separate mode and your single-player data does not transfer to it.
Can I bring a bounty target in dead instead of alive?
Yes, completing a bounty with a dead target still counts toward your bounty total and badge progress. You only receive half the cash reward compared to returning the target alive.
What happens if I rob a store?
Robbing a store triggers a cooldown during which you cannot make purchases there. Some shopkeepers will also fight back with a gun or melee weapon when you try to rob them.
My game is running slowly — what should I do?
The game requires at least 4 GB of RAM and runs best on devices with 8 GB or more. If your device is below that threshold, performance will be unstable and there is no in-game fix for it.
Game updates can change what is on this page. If you spot something, get in touch and let us know.
