So am I gonna get invites to Meth'd Up forever? I already completed the mission a while back, but every time I load up GTA:O, without fail I'll have an invite to Meth'd Up. I don't remember it being particularly fun, either, so I'm never accepting any of these invites.

It's popular for being a quick mission with a mediocre pay that used to be great. IIRC the RP you get is still pretty good. You'll only get invites for that mission from Gerald when you're in the right level range but you'll always get invites for every mission just because any player can invite players from the same session to their missions, regardless of levels.

That said, I chuckle a little when I see people inviting me to poo poo like Chasers or Ballas to the Wall.

I wish there was a way to tell Simeon to gently caress off and stop sending missions. I'm level 30, I'm not gonna drive 10+ miles chasing down some lovely car just for $1000.

Is there some list of missions and they're level/payout? As it is, I just accept anything with a title I don't recognize with the assumption that it's some really cool lvl 79 Lester heist that I haven't unlocked.

You can also overwrite cars in your garage if you just want to replace one.

I would be careful doing this if I were any of you. If you want to replace one of your cars, go sell it or something because I lost a car doing this. I outfitted a new car, the game told me my garage was full, I picked a lovely car to replace my new one with, and the game deleted a totally different car.

The safe way would be to sell the car you want to replace to LSC.

Where do you get a helicopter for High Profile Case? UltimateZAR and I were trying to run it but we could find one anywhere, so we tried climbing up the construction site but that didn't work. I remember trying to do this mission yesterday and I couldn't figure it out then either, so I just ended up killing myself.

It's extremely rare that one will spawn during the mission. I was waiting in spectator mode for you guys because I have an option to call Lester and have him find a chopper for me but I quit out a few minutes ago.

Call for a helicopter pickup from Merryweather and kill the pilot once he lands. You won't be able to call Merryweather again until you join a new session but gently caress it.

Same. I'm only level 28 so I can't call one. Just had to quit. Going up the crane is suicide after a 5 minute slog up the ladders.

Quasipox and I did a mission last night where we were sent to destroy some police cars, riot van, police motorcycles, and a prison van. You're given a "armored" vehicle to do the mission well after it's over you can turn around and sell that car for $16,000-$20,000 (can't remember the exact amount) and the mission is worth like $5000 so it's a pretty decent lower level mission.

This unlocks at level 30 but I'm a 26 :negative:

I guess I could just level grind in other ways until I hit 30 and try this mission again.

There's a few helipads near the water not far from the site, NPCs may be landing them when you first get to the construction site. You go under this arch for the yacht club (?), left, then right across a narrow walkway and you should see them on your left.


Calling Merriweather for chopper backup won't work for sniping purposes if you haven't unlocked helicopter pickup yet. That was a waste of $5000!

What exactly does ranking up your stealth do? Do you move faster while sneaking?

Not that I've noticed, it's about the range you appear on enemy radar with. Ran with a suppressor on a mini UZI on a lowbie alt and I was untouched and unnoticed even when I was hiding behind walls and pillars, as long as I stood and moved in stealth mode.

I think it allows you to stay better hidden on the minimap during deathmatch. It's easy to do. I just went into my garage, went into stealth and put an elastic around the L stick while doing chores. Had to poke it periodically to prevent the controller from dying but it was done well before I finished the chores.

I did the same with stamina(?), whatever the running one is anyways. Same trick, only had to go into a solo session (can't run in the garage) and rested a shampoo bottle on the A button to ensure he kept running.

That happened to me until I found the survival mission it was bugging me to do at level 20 or so. Do you have any markers on your map?

What level are you at?

Have you tried going back into single player and then joining GTA Online again?

I think, I ran into the same issue but once I restarted my marker appeared and after completing that mission I was able to join again. These tutorials are a bitch. We should be able to skip them, after the first mission I had a pretty good grasp on how to join/start missions and such, they don't have to go through it for each job type.

Edit: vvvvvvv About every other page in the thread. It should probably go into the OP if its not already. That said, I'm sure there are people still not aware of that.

It's probably been posted, but in survivor mode, if you pick up a weapon you generally wouldn't have access to in free mode, you get to keep it when you switch to free mode, until you log out. I'm level 21 now, but at one point last night I was like 13 or 14, some higher level person tried to run me down while I was on foot. Couple of assault shotgun blasts to the face changed his mind about that...can't wait til I actually unlock it. Right now I'm just leaving my PS3 on and hiding in my apartment so that I can hang on to the weapons a bit longer.
