When you die in GTA 5 Online, you leave money on the ground that others can pick up. But how much money is that and what else do you lose? Find out here.
What is it about? Those playing in a session of GTA Online can choose whether to activate PvP. This happens through the passive mode, which makes you vulnerable to influences from other players after being turned off.
They can then run you over, shoot you, set you on fire, beat you up, and kill you in other ways. When you die and carry cash, you drop part of it. But does that make you poor?
We have researched for you and show how much money you really lose when you die in GTA Online and if that is a big deal.
You only lose cash, but you can protect yourself
This is how much money you lose: If you carry at least 5,000 GTA dollars, you will lose part of it upon your death. If you carry less cash, you won’t lose anything when you die (for whatever reason).
There are no definitive numbers from Rockstar Games. However, there seems to be a cap, which is set at $500 per death, players explain. You shouldn’t be able to lose more than that in one go.
We from MeinMMO verified this in-game on March 12, eliminating 10 players who all dropped $500. It seems to be a fixed amount that cannot be exceeded or undercut.
What happens then? Your dropped money can be picked up by other players by walking over the bills. Alternatively, you can return to the spot where you were eliminated and collect your cash again. The death location will be marked on the minimap with an X for a few seconds after your death.
What else do you lose? In addition to money, you lose your magazine of the currently equipped weapon. The resurrection will then result in a hospital bill of 500 GTA dollars, which will be directly deducted from your account.
In GTA Online, cash is totally unimportant. The safest way is to deposit your cash into your bank account immediately. Then you cannot lose it upon death. You receive cash after certain missions or when you rob stores.
Deposit your cash by opening your in-game phone, selecting the internet, switching to the “Finance” tab, and opening the Maze Bank page. With the “Deposit” option, you can conveniently transfer all your cash to your account and then carry little or nothing.
Special case when the police eliminate you
What happens then? It often happens that you are pursued for your crimes in the world of GTA Online. Chases with your supercars are commonplace. But what if the cops win the fight and eliminate you?
If your vehicle hasn’t gone up in smoke yet and is parked near your death spot, it will be “towed”. You can then retrieve it from the impound lot.
The lot belongs to the LSPD Auto Impound Company, the towing company for which you also work indirectly in the story of GTA 5.
Now you are well prepared for a death in GTA Online and know that you really only hand over a few bucks to other players when you pass away. Nothing to worry about particularly.
But do you have enough money that you can afford to lose? With our 13 ways to quickly earn a lot of money in GTA Online in 2021, you’ll fill your account into the millions. A few lost hundreds can then be completely irrelevant to you.
