How To Open Interaction Menu Gta 5

Okay, let's talk about something near and dear to every GTA 5 player's heart.

Or maybe a source of mild frustration.

I'm talking about the Interaction Menu.

So, You Wanna Open the Thing?

Right. Here's the secret: hold down the Select button on your PlayStation controller.

Boom! Magic.

Or, if you're on Xbox, it's the View button (the one that looks like two little squares).

PC Peeps, Don't Fret!

For you PC master race members, it's the "M" key.

Unless you remapped it. Then… good luck remembering where you put it!

I'm judging you slightly if you remapped it to something weird, by the way.

Seriously though, who remapped it to the tilde key?

Show yourself.

My Unpopular Opinion About the Menu

Here it comes: I think the Interaction Menu is clunky.

There, I said it.

It's like navigating a really old website on dial-up.

Am I the only one who feels like I'm scrolling through endless options just to change my outfit?

It’s a virtual fashion emergency, people!

I need to change into my heist outfit now!

And don't even get me started on trying to find the right snack when I'm getting shot at.

Is it armor? Is it a health pack? Is it a P's & Q's?

Spoiler alert: It's always a P's & Q's.

What Can You Actually *Do* in This Thing?

Well, a lot, actually.

Too much, arguably.

You can change your appearance, access your inventory, manage your vehicles, and even adjust your mental state (whatever that means in Los Santos).

You can also do things like enable passive mode.

This is highly recommended if you're just trying to drive across the map in peace.

Unless you like being blown up by a jet.

Tips and Tricks (Sort Of)

Okay, here’s a pro tip: practice opening the menu while you’re not being chased by the cops.

Trust me on this one.

You'll thank me later.

Another tip: Learn the general layout.

Know where your weapons are. Know where your snacks are.

Pretend it's a test. A test where the penalty for failure is digital death.

In Conclusion (Sort Of)

So, there you have it.

Everything you (probably already) knew about opening the Interaction Menu in GTA 5.

Now go forth and customize your character! Or, you know, get blown up by a jet.

Remember to hydrate.

And try not to rage quit.

Happy gaming!
