Welcome to Vice City, Population: You and 10 Million Maniacs (and Maybe a Dolphin)
So, you snagged your copy of GTA 6 Online, popped open a cold beverage (or three, no judgment), and booted up the game. Now you're staring at a sun-drenched, pastel-drenched Vice City, wondering where to start in this neon playground of mayhem. Buckle up, buckaroo, because this free-roaming rodeo is about to get wilder than a flamingo at a tequila factory.
Step 1: Ditch the Tutorial. Nobody Needs Tutorial Island Anymore (Except Maybe That Dolphin)
Rockstar wants to hold your hand? Bah! We're seasoned criminals, not toddlers learning finger-painting. Skip that tutorial faster than you'd dodge a rogue jet ski during a yacht party gone wrong. Trust your gut, your instincts, and maybe that nagging voice in your head that whispers, "Steal that helicopter, it'll be hilarious."
QuickTip: Stop to think as you go.![]()
Subheading: Alternate Tutorial - Learn by Doing (and Possibly Dying):
- Start by befriending a pigeon. Pigeons know everything. Trust me.
- Steal a golf cart and see how many palm trees you can topple before the cops show up. Bonus points for using the flamingo statue as a ramp.
- Dive into the ocean and see if you can outrun a shark. Spoiler alert: you can't. But the panic attack is hilarious.
- Find the nearest gunfight and offer your unsolicited commentary. People love unsolicited commentary, especially when it involves air quotes and interpretive dance.
Step 2: Embrace the Chaos, You Beautiful Butterfly:
QuickTip: Look for patterns as you read.![]()
Vice City is a living, breathing organism of absurdity. Don't fight it, swim with it! Every corner holds a story, every alleyway whispers promises of trouble, and every neon sign screams, "Do something stupid!" So, do something stupid!
Subheading: Chaos Menu - A Few Ideas to Get You Started:
QuickTip: Focus more on the ‘how’ than the ‘what’.![]()
- Stage a synchronized swimming routine with the aforementioned dolphin. Bonus points if you can recruit a manatee as the choreographer.
- Dress as a banana and convince tourists you're the long-lost mascot of a rival fruit company. Throw peelings at authority figures for maximum effect.
- Start a cult based on the worship of traffic cones. Name it the Conemites. Offer sacrifices of discarded flip-flops.
- Open a lemonade stand, but instead of lemonade, sell existential dread in tiny paper cups. Charge double for sprinkles.
Step 3: Find Your Tribe, You Glorious Misfit:
Vice City is full of weirdos, just like you! Seek them out, form alliances, and create your own brand of mayhem. You might find yourself in a biker gang led by a talking parrot, a heist crew specializing in stealing designer handbags, or a book club that doubles as a fight club (shhh, it's a secret).

How To Free Roam In GTA 6 Online |
Subheading: Tribe-tastic Options:
- Join the "Save the Manatees" cult and wage war against jet ski enthusiasts. Your weapon of choice? Spatulas, naturally.
- Form a synchronized breakdancing troupe with the city's mime community. Call yourselves the "Silent Sirens" and confuse tourists with existential interpretive dance.
- Start a competitive synchronized swimming league for inflatable pool toys. Award prizes in the form of moldy pizza and used chewing gum.
- Create a social media influencer persona as a talking cactus and dispense unsolicited life advice from a flowerpot. Monetize it with sponsored sandcastle building tutorials.
Remember, in GTA 6 Online, the only limit is your imagination (and possibly the physics engine). So go forth, cause chaos, make memories, and above all, don't forget to have fun. Just try not to get eaten by a dolphin. Those things are shifty.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a synchronized flamingo ballet to choreograph. See you in the mayhem, my friend!
