This is written for the Players, so players do not need to ask the same basics on Discord every time.

Is Dead Horizon Family an RP server?

No. The server config and website direction are clear: Dead Horizon Family is a FiveM fun server with no RP pressure.

How do I open the phone?

Press F1 or use /phone. The phone includes extra apps like inventory, animations, housing, realtor and vehicle finder.

How do I interact with shops, jobs and markers?

Use E. This is the main ESX interaction key detected in the server files.

How do I open inventory?

Press F2. Note: the animation script also uses F2 for stopping animations, so check FiveM keybind settings if you want to rebind it.

How do vehicle indicators work?

Use the arrow keys: left arrow for left indicator, right arrow for right indicator and up arrow for hazard lights.

Can I change keybinds?

Yes. Many detected controls are registered as FiveM key mappings. Open FiveM settings, go to keybinds and search for the command or description.
