GAME QUESTIONS
What are the server addresses?
You can find every server address in #servers, this channel updates every 5 minutes. You are able to join the EU3/NA3 servers when reaching level 15+.
Where can I go to report a player?
Seeing a player breaking any server rules or suspecting a player of cheating through the use of unfair game advantages? Use our report functions.
If you're ingame you can use the "/report {id} {reason} function "
If there is no staff online in any of our servers you can report a player in #support by saying their id and what they do wrong. When having clips of people breaking server rules feel free to leave them in #evidence-submission.
Important note: We have server logs so please do not send any screenshots of people saying racist, homopobic and other things that are acting in a manner that is extremely disrespectful to members within the community.
I got banned from the server.. I would like to discuss my punishment.
If you have been banned from our server, for whatever reason, your ban cannot be appealed/reversed without solid evidence that you were not in the wrong/cheating.
If you have this evidence, please raise a ticket in #ticket-support and an admin will speak with you shortly. If you raise a ticket without this evidence, and just want to argue over your ban, then you may be banned from our Discord server as well.
Temporary bans begin at a minimum of 7 days, and cannot be shortened. Please do not raise tickets asking for this, you must wait out your ban and think about how you can change for next time.
How do I play this gamemode?
Cops VS 1 robber gamemode. Outrun the police as robber for 10 mins to win, or if it's not your round to be robber, catch the robber within the 10 min mark as a police officer to win. For all info on how to play on our servers, please follow this link to our site: https://tiny.cc/BustedServer.
I lost all my levels/I can't choose my level car.
Players cannot lose or have their levels reset. Here are a few explanations that might help you:
- The robber is too low a level for you to use the car you're trying to use (If the robber is only level 5, you won't be able to use level 5+ cars even if you're above level 5)
- The robbers choice of car dictates the level of car everyone can use (If a lv 32 robber chooses a lv 5 car, you cannot use any above level 5 cars even if you're above level 5)
- Are you using a different Steam/Rockstar account?
- If you're playing for the first time since roughly July 2019, there was a major data loss which was compensated for at the time with 2xp for 2 months. If you missed this, I'm afraid you will need to earn back your levels. Admins cannot give XP or levels.
If none of these explanations help, please visit #ticket-support and you can discuss this further with an admin or developer!
How do I get my 5% booster ingame?
To receive your 5% booster ingame you have to connect your discord first to fivem. You can link your discord to fivem by opening the fivem app, just make sure your discord is open before you open fivem. You're authorized once you have the FiveM app in your "Authorized Apps" setting on discord. #guide.
How can I donate a vehicle?
If you are the developer of a vehicle and wish to donate it to busted, you can PM one of BUSTED's admins and they will direct you to the staff member currently adding models to the game. If you are not a developer and wish to donate a vehicle to us, you must check with the BUSTED vehicle developers to see if the vehicle would fit our gamemode. If it does, you must inform the developer of the vehicle that you are buying this for BUSTED before making the purchase, and they must be okay with it.
Please note, whilst we accept donated vehicles, we will not be purchasing them off you. If you want payment for the model to be added to Busted, we will consider the purchase but only if we all want your model in the game.
TOS: Please also note that once your vehicle model has been donated to the server, the property rights will be transferred to Busted and you will no longer own the files (Unless you are the developer of the vehicle, then it will still be yours, you will just have given us the property rights for a single copy).
What does heat level mean?
Everyone will start off with heat level 1. In order to level up you need to win as the robber. You can also lose heat level by getting busted on your round. Starting from heat level 2 you will earn an xp bonus that will sum up with the already existing 100% xp bonus for winning the match. You can earn from 25% up to 100% more XP based on your heat level. Max heat level is 5, which will give you 100% XP bonus. Time in which EMP and AI blockades are enabled will also change based on heat level. The higher the level the faster the EMP and AI blockades will be enabled. On heat level 2 they will be enabled after 4 minutes, on heat level 3 after 3 minutes, on heat level 4 after 2 minutes and on heat level 5 after 1 minute. You can see/check your heat level next to minimap on your robber round, in menu robber stats submenu and also on player list. Heat level won't give any xp bonus and it won't be affected on event matches.
What does the GOAT map mean?
The goat map is a map with restricted areas on it. The robber is only allowed for a short amount of time in different areas and most of the time not allowed at all in some areas. You can find the goat map ingame by pressing F4 > goat map, you can also find the goat map in support channels in the discord.
