Map
Main article: In-Game Map
General
The game takes place in a fictional county named Liberty County. The map consists of three major areas: River City, Springfield, and the countryside. The county is based on the country of the United States, suggested by the department structures, emergency vehicle designs, etc. However, River City and Springfield have yet to be confirmed to resemble real-life cities.
Teams
"Save the city on an emergency team or chill on the civilian team."
Currently, there are 6 teams in the game (excluding civilian jobs), and 5 are joinable via the game menu. A list of them can be found below:
A list of all joinable teams in the game.
Civilian
A civilian is the default team of all players. Civilians are able to freely roam around the map while obeying the law. They can also join any of the 11 civilian jobs. This team is able to be joined by anyone at any time. Civilians who have joined a job will earn more paychecks than those who have not.
Criminal
Once a player commits a crime, they will be given the criminal status. If you are on a team or working a civilian job, you will lose the job/team and respawn at your spawn point. Criminals have anywhere up from 1 to 5 wanted level, which is represented by stars on the top of the screen. Any player in the police/sheriff team is able to arrest players in this status.
Prisoner
A prisoner is an automatically given status once a criminal is arrested. This status clears after a short period of time, which depends based on the previous wanted level of the player. These players will not have access to any items and will only be able to stay in the jail for the duration of their sentence.
Police
Police is one of the two law enforcement teams. These players can enforce the law of the city by arresting wanted criminals or by performing various activities around the map. This team is based on the River City Police Department and mostly patrols the city area of the map.
Sheriff
Sheriff is another law enforcement team. These players can enforce the law of the county by performing similar actions as the police team. The sheriff team is based on the Liberty County Sheriff's Office and mostly patrols the outer city area of the map.
Fire & Rescue
Fire & Rescue is a team responsible for fires and medical calls around the county. Players in this team will be able to access various medical or firefighting tools and vehicles. This team is based on the River City Fire & Rescue.
Department of Transportation
Department of Transportation (DOT) is a team responsible for maintaining roads and traffic around the county. The team is able to access various traffic-related tools and vehicles.
In-Game Currency
ER:LC features an in-game currency system represented by US Dollars ($). This is arguably the most valuable feature in the game, which allows players to buy vehicles, weapons, and items. This currency can be earned in several ways.
Paychecks
Paychecks are an in-game feature which gives players anywhere between $500 - $1,000 every few minutes. Paychecks can be earned on all teams (other than prisoners) and does not require players to do any activity. Players in departments will earn more paychecks than civilians.
Robberies
(Main article: Robberies)
Civilians and criminals are able to rob features in game to earn large amounts of money. Typically, successfully completing a robbery will give players around $1,000 - $5,000, with the Bank Heist being the highest paying robbery. Each successful robbery requires players to stay in the game for a certain amount of time without dying, being arrested, or switching teams. The list of available robberies can be found below.
Robux Purchase
In-game currency can be purchased with Robux. This can be done via the in-game menu or by interacting with an ATM. Players are able to buy up to $2,000,000 in-game currency per purchase. The purchase cannot be made in a Private Server.
Experience Points (XP)
Experience points, represented by the symbol XP, are points able to be earned in any department other than civilians, criminals, and prisoners. Players must earn XP separately on all teams. Gaining XP will progress players through ranks, and most ranks give players certain perks such as unlocked vehicles, items, etc. Police and sheriff teams will allow players to progress in both teams while playing in the other, meaning when a player reaches a rank in the police team, they will reach the equivalent rank in the sheriff team, and vice versa.
