Response London
Choosing your role at the start
CheckWhen you first load in, you choose the career you want to play. The three broad paths are emergency services, civilian jobs, and criminal activity.
- Police chase down suspects, respond to active incidents, and keep order across the map
- Fire and Rescue get to fire scenes and accidents as fast as possible
- Paramedics reach injured players and complete life-saving missions
- Taxi or bus driver earn your way through the city doing transport runs
- Postman work delivery routes as a quieter civilian option
Running criminal heists
StepThree major criminal operations are available: a bank heist, a jewellery robbery, and ATM raids. Each one puts you against the police players on the server, so coordinating with other players matters.
- Bank heist
- Jewellery robbery
