Quick Answer

Open Navigate and travel to the Authenticator building on the right side of Back Alley. The Clubs building is beside it, near the bridge route toward Lucky Beach. In the pre-release build, you could enter and speak to the NPC, but the club menu was scheduled to open with the update.

Where to Find the Clubs Building

The Clubs building is on the Back Alley side of the map, close to the Authenticator. Look near the road and bridge that lead toward Lucky Beach. The building has a gallery-like interior with framed paintings, so it is easy to recognize once you reach the correct block.

Tip: Use the Authenticator as your landmark instead of searching every Back Alley street. It places you within a short walk of the Clubs entrance.

How to Check the Clubs Feature

Enter the building and speak to the NPC at the desk. Before the update launched, the interaction displayed a message telling players to return on Saturday rather than opening a club menu. After the update reaches your server, use the same NPC first and read the live menu before spending or contributing anything.

  • Open Navigate and travel to the Authenticator.
  • Walk toward the Lucky Beach bridge route.
  • Enter the nearby Clubs building.
  • Speak to the NPC at the desk.
  • Read the current club requirements and options shown in your server.
Warning: If the NPC still shows a return-later message, rejoin an updated server after the patch is live. Do not assume an old server has received the feature.

How to Prepare Before Joining a Club

Keep your preparation flexible until the live club menu shows its real requirements. Build a cash reserve, avoid selling useful high-value items only to chase an unconfirmed requirement, and decide whether you want to join friends or find an active group after the rules are visible.

  • Save enough cash to continue normal auctions after the update.
  • Keep a few valuable items available instead of liquidating your full inventory.
  • Coordinate with friends who play regularly so you can inspect the feature together.
  • Take screenshots of the live requirements before making a large contribution.
  • Check whether club membership, upgrades or contributions can be changed before committing resources.
Tip: Preparation should protect your normal progression. A new system is not worth draining the cash you need for auctions, vehicle upgrades or shop inventory.

What Is Confirmed and What Can Change

The building location and its NPC were visible before release, but the preview did not expose the finished club menu. Treat rewards, contribution rules, membership limits and luck bonuses as update-dependent until they appear in game.

Clubs Update Mistakes to Avoid

Most avoidable losses come from acting on guesses before the live rules are visible. Visit the building first, confirm that your server is updated and make small decisions until you understand how membership and contributions work.

  • Searching Lucky Beach itself instead of the Back Alley side of the bridge.
  • Waiting at the building in an old server after the update goes live.
  • Treating predicted rewards or luck bonuses as guaranteed features.
  • Spending your full auction bankroll on an unconfirmed club requirement.
  • Joining or leaving a club before checking roles, limits and contribution rules.

How do I open the Clubs menu?

Enter the Clubs building and speak to the NPC at the desk. If you only receive a return-later message, your server may still be running the pre-update version, so rejoin after the patch is live.
