OK - the heist thing never got settled. But I did manage to scrape together enough cash to do a CEO business and a special warehouse. I've filled it 4 times. I'm about ready to upgrade to a medium warehouse. The money is starting to come in - hopefully I can start buying cool poo poo soon like..super cars and .... I dunno..... a helicopter. Bling bling, motherfuckers.

Buy a vehicle warehouse and steal and sell cars instead, its way way way more fun and more profitable. If you want something in addition to a vehicle warehouse I'm pretty sure the drugs are more profitable even than the dumb CEO warehouses. Those are old, from when R* was still figuring poo poo out. Don't bother.

Additionally, if poo poo starts to go south on a sell mission you can quickly quit to story mode and save most of the crates.

I find arms manufacturing is way more viable and more fun solo than drugs. One full bar of supplies nets you 210k to sell far away and always gives you one vehicle to do it with in my experience. I have done 25 sales and have never gotten two vehicles when I was by myself.

Another for the CON column, if you're moving from a small to a medium or large warehouse, you can't trade it in, so you now have 2 warehouses. Only going from small to small allows you to move from one location to another via trade in I/E vehicle work is a good one for just dropping in and stealing/selling a few cars a night if you want. The immediate payout helps in that respect, some sense of 'getting poo poo done' instead of grindgrindgrind and then sell(plus the upfront costs suck if you on a budget and/or new) Gunrunning(and the MC drug/docs/cash businesses) are way improved over crates; being able to steal supplies instead of buying every one, predictable schedule of income, and the missions seem better both supply side and selling

My warehouses more than paid for themselves, but I'm never running crates en masse again. I/E cars are much simpler and more profitable, once you get it so you'll only source high-end cars. I do like the bunker business, too, stealing supplies gives me something to do, like going Rambo on Human Labs.

Recently I grabbed all 32 individual cars for the collections which turns out to be… All 32 unique cars. At this point it becomes extremely easy. If you want to steal the T 20, Sell the One from the collection and the next time you steal a car it will be exactly that. If you want to steal to high-end cars, just sell two of the high-end cars and they will come back Once this clicked it sure made a lot more sense than trying to worry about 80% of the cars and what not

Just sell the high end car as soon as you get it. there's a cooldown on everything so source - sell - supply bunker source - sell - headhunter source - sell - sightseer source - sell - head hunter source - sell - sightseer source - sell - sell bunker source - sell - supply bunker Repeat that over and over, hour after hour, day after day, and after about 40 hours you should be able to buy a car or something.

Fart.Bleed.Repeat. posted:Recently I grabbed all 32 individual cars for the collections which turns out to be… All 32 unique cars. That's how it always works. You can't get a duplicate until your 33rd car. So just never source the 33rd car. If you have no duplicates in your garage and you have less than 32 cars then the next car will always be one of the ones you are missing. Powershift posted:Repeat that over and over, hour after hour, day after day, and after about 40 hours you should be able to buy a car or something. It's not that bad. I seem to do a little over 200k an hour on average. Not sucking at driving and having good situational awareness really adds up. It also adds up like crazy when you can get some folks together and sell 4 high end cars at a time for a straight 300-320k profit in one shot. Then you go: source - source - sell source - source - sell source - source - sell source - source - sell source - sell - return to regularly scheduled programming Until you are back at 32 cars/80% You have 12 unique cars in the top end class before you run out so if you have friends those are drat nice cash infusions.

Okay, so $200k an hour. for the oppressor you need a bunker which is $1.2m for the lovely ones way the gently caress out there, $1.5m for the truck with the mod bay if you want the missiles, and $2.65m after you've done 14 supply runs and the mission for it. That's $5.35m or 26.75 hours of work. an 8,000,000 shark card is $100, 5.35m is 66.875% of that, or $66.88, divided by 26.75 hours, that's $2.5 an hour. you're working a virtual job in a lovely video game for $2.5 an hour so you can buy the thing that's fun.

I'm pretty sure it's been discussed, but when you're using the MTU trick on PS4 so you get into mostly/usually solo public sessions, can you invite friends? It'd be nice to unload this full bunker without stress from griefers. Seems dumb to try making that sell solo, though.

Yes, but once your friends are in there the matchmaking will allow pubbies to start joining on them. If your friends are also doing the MU thing then you will gave a hard time getting connected or staying connected with each other.

If one was so inclined - and had a router that was sufficiently advanced (most ISP provided routers suck, but most anything you buy at a Best Buy or NewEgg should be able to do it) you could theoretically block all IPs from the GTAV range (the list is available on the internet) and then whitelist the IP (and appropriate ports) of your friends and essential R* multiplayer services. This would allow you to play with friends in public matches while keeping the ignorant masses out. Or so I hear.

for anyone hoping the grind would end, Take Two's latest quarterly financials show a strong revenue return from GTA Online and support will continue longer than they'd originally planned as a result. like a hundred million over expectations which were already a couple hundred million - just hilariously huge numbers in a quarter where I don't think any take two studio released a single game and any hope RDR2 won't have wild west shark cards should be long gone now.

Zaphod42 posted:In order of fun and profit: CEO Vehicle Warehouse > Gun Running Bunker > MC Drug Factories > CEO Warehouses I would get a cheap office and then get a cheap vehicle warehouse and maybe a cheap bunker. The rest probably isn't worth the money sink investment to get started and isn't even all that fun. If you wanna see what MC drug deals are about just join some random guy's crew in a public session, you'll get sick of it fast enough. Vehicle Warhouses are IMO the most fun way to grind money, and this is a game and so you should be trying to have fun and not just turn this into a job. I guess this is slightly personal taste. The bunkers let you both make money and unlock fancier weapons and cars, but you kinda have to pick one or the other or split your resources. The drug warehouses and the CEO warehouses (non-vehicle) are both very grindy and involve missions that can be a huge pain in the rear end at random, and god help you if anybody else is in your session. They'll kill you at the last second, you'll get $0 for like 40 minutes of work, and you'll even end up losing money. Same thing can happen with vehicle warehouse stuff but its easier to get it done quick and feels like much less investment.

All the dumb fucks who bought a shark card just to get a little bit ahead have cemented this as a reality in video games going forward. You will now have to work hard to be able to enjoy it. They've hosed up video game economies as badly as the real life ones, burning down some people's last escape from reality.

It's trading a lot of time for a tiny drip of GTAbux. so you can just skip them. Yeah you'll miss out on some content, but you're going to miss out on some stuff no matter what - not unless you have a couple hundred million hackerbux anyway. Prioritizing and buying on sales only gets you so far (btw, do that) and then what? You're outta money and you still haven't gotten everything. if you had to push me into picking any one freeroam scheme it'd be an office and a vehicle warehouse for i/e, but I had an office already and making my warehouse money back took too long. Making both back? I hope you really like driving cars and getting mad at aimbot AI. Don't get the MC clubhouse. The bunker/MOC unlock some nice stuff, but the bunker's entire reason to exist is to steal all your money. All of it.

Agreed; but how are you going to make money in the first place? Doing missions for other CEOs is a sucker's move. Grinding headhunter gets old and has cooldowns. Unless you have a crew to grind heists with, getting the vehicle warehouse is probably worth it. But like I said, gently caress everything else. Not worth the investment, takes too long to pay for itself and then pays at too slow a rate.
