They're like two suicide notes stuffed into a glitter bra

I got one of $500k a couple of days ago. I assumed that it was the rest of my "tax refund". A few months back R* gave out rebates for certain Pegasus vehicles that were being offered for free.

I got back about 200K at that time, which seemed low considering that I had several of the vehicles they were giving refunds for. This second payment of 500k brings it more in line with what I was expecting to get originally.

Now that I have my gun-running vehicles all decked out, is there any reason to keep the vehicle mod bay in my MOC? Weapon bay can stay to stock up on special ammo, but for a third slot, any suggestion if I should replace it with the living quarters or vehicle storage?

MR. DOG WITH BEES IN HIS MOUTH AND WHEN HE BARKS HE SHOOTS BEES AT YOU

Can other people mod their vehicles in your truck?

I'd like to think members of your MC or bodyguards (or even just your crew) would be able to use it for modding but I kinda think I already know the answer

Welp, I've been away for awhile. I guess it's time to get the update, log in, and see if I'm broke. To be honest, my surprisingly high bank balance may be legit as a result of an especially lucrative, especially drunken night running PacStandards with you guys, but I'm worried. On the other hand, I have a couple million in cars I bought on a whim because I was drunk and they looked cool at the time, so I do have a small reserve I guess. :v:

Edit: Yep, adjusted to the tune of $2.8m, zero bank balance. Time to start selling off my secondary character's cars.

Edit again: Sold all my silly impulse-buy cool-looking cars, down to a bicycle, a cafe racer, and some worthless crap I jacked off the street in the garage, and $2.1m in the bank, which is probably ~= what I had legit, so I can't complain. The motorcycle is the only thing I actually drive anyway (got the pushbike just to boost my stamina).

Pro tip: When buying a MOC for the first time I only bought the weapons workshop and the vehicle storage thinking that would let me mod the weaponized tampa, but I was wrong and had to rebuy the vehicle workshop bay. Unfortunately I didnt realize at the time if your tampa is already parked inside it wont transfer to the new one, and it doesn't go back in your garage. :rip: two million.

That thing with the dual cannons on top is awesome though.

Don't know if you tried this or not, but I just looked it up because one of my vehicles disappeared when I tried to put a new vehicle in...

Rockstar Support posted:

Answer: The Mobile Operations Center (MOC) can be extensively customized including color, details, armor, weapons and module configuration. If you store one of your Personal Vehicles in the MOC vehicle bay module, and then change that module configuration of your MOC, your vehicle will no longer be stored in the MOC. To retrieve the vehicle, open the Personal Interaction menu, select Mobile Operations Center then Request Personal Vehicle, and your vehicle will be delivered to you.

No obvious reason.

But the way they set this up allows them to easily add more vehicles using this system later. Unlike the special vehicles that the warehouse will only ever hold eight of.

I AM THE SCALES OF JUSTICE, CONDUCTOR OF THE CHOIR OF DEATH!





This is officially my new favorite vehicle in the game now that it's fully kitted out with all the upgrades. It's insanely fast once it gets rolling, it drifts like a champ, looks fantastic, and has enough weaponry to shred everything in its path. It's absolutely perfect :h:

Also, anyone else notice the MOC Trailer has a Livery option in the customization menu but no actual liveries? I'm assuming future DLC.

I feel stupid for not figuring this out sooner, but my bunker has radically changed my workflow.

Since MC, I've been grinding businesses as the majority of my GTA O playtime. I'd grind out until I had full stock, and wait until I could talk someone into helping me run the sales missions. As employee payouts are abysmal, this was not easy.

Today, I was running the bunker business as usual. Then I noticed my small bit of bar was already at $75k, and the long distance sale was worth $100k. Thats about what I make on a maxed out doc forge sale, so I ran it. It being a tiny bit of supply, it was easily done by myself.

So I figure, why not do that with my other business? After some minor grinding, I picked up a couple $50k sales easy. This will easily pay for all my remaining biz upgrades, and then it wont be hard to save up for my mobile command center.

At what part of the stock bar does it turn from easy one person job to three person job?

Though having a second one still working might also be screwing it up, I saw the "profit" from the biker businesses and said no way.

Shut down, inoperative pending restart, no supplies, no product

Still get phone calls every few minutes.

I'm not lying. There are no supplies. (Although I think even if there are supplies, when you shut down, they're gone. But maybe that's just product?)

Must be a bug where if you have one active, it doesn't even check the others.

Start it up, do a resupply, shut it down again. I've had a weed farm and a coke lab shut down for a while without Lester Jingleheimer Teabag calling me at all. I started the coke lab back up during increased product sales, then shut it down again after the Gun Running update. The weed farm's been at just under one bar for a long time now, the coke lab is currently just under two bars and had supplies when I started it back up.

I mean, I can't guarantee it'll work, but you posting about it makes me recall hearing people have this issue in the past that got solved by having supplies in the business before shutting it down.

Yes, it has to have some supplies sitting there when you shut it down. Doesn't have to be a full bar, I think. Just one supply run worth.

Oh, I thought you were saying it has to not have supplies, so it doesn't think its running. So you give it supplies and then shut it down, and then it doesn't go through the supplies since its paused...

Yeah that's a pain in the dick workaround but I'll take it. Gotta go start it up and shut it down, but at least I'll be done with it after that. Thanks.

There's going to be a few new weaponized vehicles (these might be already usable in the GR missions), as well as regular civilian cars released presumably one vehicle a week over the next ~7 weeks. Pics are in discord #hangoutz - search for the text COUNTACH.

Also: there's a wrecked UFO mesh in the patch data. They might be finalizing whatever the chiliad mystery thing is, if that has ever even been a legit thing (I always figured they'd activate something near the end of the game's life). Filename hints that it would be crashed behind one of the two dams.

Steal cars and sell them as a CEO is a pretty good payout. Run headhunter or do biker drugs when you're waiting on delivery cooldown.

I could be wrong but I think you have a better chance of getting a high end car in a bigger session? If so, steal a bunch of cars with lots of people, then switch to a mostly empty server and sell through the stock.

Import export car pro tip: The game will only give you one plate of each model until you force it to give you a duplicate. Source cars until you get to 80% then stop. When you sell a car, your next source mission will be to replace that same model. This way, you can source only top ends.

I just checked and that costs 2 mil too. If i had 2 mil i would just buy the rocket bike outright.

Forever or ~5 minutes, whichever comes first. If you have the cash to rush it, the most painless way is to find something else to occupy yourself with while it runs in the background, check back every 5 minutes or so to click a couple buttons, and they'll all be done in a few hours.

Oh yeah, in case it hasn't been mentioned in the thread yet, clearing all the tier 2 gun range challenges unlocks a permanent increase in carrying capacity for up to 30 grenades/molotovs/sticky bombs/tear gas, 15 pipe bombs, and 10 prox mines. If you're having trouble make sure you've upgraded your guns with ex.mags, grips, etc, because it uses your current ones.

I have upgraded all the guns and the only one I've cleared so far is tier 1 Heavy Sniper. Might have been easier if I had picked the white targets. It's especially cool when the game doesn't properly register your tapping so the multiplier gets reset by a stray shot, not to mention the sweet FAILED cutscene you have to sit through every single time. It's worse than the last level of flight school. I really wish I could sell it.
