Side Hustles are shown in the color blue on the map. They are basically Side Quests. Those two Side Hustles are connected and are both part of the @Tcha Side Hustle that you pick up in the Mercado area:

Talk to Sylvia. She’s standing on the square right behind the “Library” sign on the screenshot above. She will then send you to a couple of areas to leave a bad review on the @Tcha Board in front of the shop.


2 – @TCHA – BATTER UP DONUTS

The second Side Hustle is one of those @Tcha boards at the Mercado District. It’s a Donut Shop called “Batter Up Donuts”. Just interact with the @tcha board and leave a rating. The lower the rating the bigger the cash and XP rewards. Locations don’t disappear and can be repeated.
