If possible, make sure you do them as a biker MC, the pay for your sidekicks is a little better. This applies to bunkers, air freight, nightclub, and MC sales(obviously). I already sold the few things I had stashed but i'm always down to help a brother out.

i had bought the bunker so i could (eventually) get missiles for an oppressor but before I researched missiles the Op Mk2 came out so welp!

There's a trick to it, but you max out your nightclub warehouse space and start five mc businesses. Then, you retire and go into a mission and watch TV to avoid accruing fees while afk.

I usually get around 850k every day with only one easy sell mission. Also, the terrorbyte missions are good to mix in with vip work for grinding without cool down. Plus, they pay 60k per mission this week until Thurs.

I agree, I just don't have $12mil to spend on all 5 of the cheapest businesses + all upgrades. Even at 40% off this week it'd still be $7 mil.

Yeah the "Client Jobs" available from the Terrorbyte are paying out ~60k right now but with the cooldown it's better if you have two peeps with terrorbytes so you can swap back and forth from CEO group to CEO group

Careful you don't do it too fast or you might get transaction errors; making money too fast makes daddy rockstar mad

For the MC. businesses, just look for the cheapest of each, don’t worry about upgrades on these. Just do the first supply to start it up and never go back to them.

Yeah it's confusing but the MC businesses and the nightclub aren't related except you need to have the MC up and running for the nightclub to produce. Ideally you do the initial supply run and then sell, leave the business open but not producing.

Nightclub rules because it's never more than one shipment, and the best delivery vehicle is included with it. Just don't upgrade to the other vehicles, you might have to do 2-3 trips but it's worth it to not deal with the POS Pounder or Mule

So do you turn all the graphics settings down and stuff, or do you just let the computer churn away like you're mining bitcoins

If it's the latter, i have some follow-up questions.

I'm running 3 yr old poo poo - i5-6500, GTX960, 16gb ram - and hve most everything at high or highest, and run a solid 70ish FPS. Theres a few settings that are taxing, like grass and water, that can be turned down to help out. Don't run both of the FXAA and MSAA, pick whichever runs easier. Shouldn't be that difficult




Chimi- At the individual businesses, coke, weed, meth, etc, if you're not going to actively maintain them, then don't bother with the upgrades. Instead spend money on the upgrades at the night club, which will speed up the rate it builds stock

Hi, I'm looking to get an idea of what to spend about 2.5 million on assuming the discount event hasn't ended by the time I get home from work. Would it be worth the investment to buy the nightclub and related businesses while they're on sale to try to get passive income going? The terrorbyte looks stupidly useful as well. I already have all of the stuff you get from the 10 dollar starter pack, as well as a medium warehouse currently.

I name this haircut "The Sad Rhino".
I’ve never had more fun in this dead game after the nightclub dlc than any other time... I make enough money that I’ve spent myself down to zero many times over and am currently at 40,000,000 without grinding at all. Yes I leave my computer running the game, no I haven’t noticed my electricity bill go up.
I’ll do nightclub sales when it seems like a good lobby, haven’t ever lost one.
If/when I log in, I’ll mess around, drive something cool since I own everything... do all of the challenges (up to 32 in the under the bridge challenge!) and just take in the scenery.
I’m still bad at pvp, so I pretty much avoid it unless I’m trying to help someone else... then my strategy is to die repeatedly to distract the aggressor.
I do love calling the mugger on people as much as possible with the cooldown. If you seem racist or a griefer, Lamar’s buddy will be on his way.
And although I’m sure I could do them, I still haven’t completed the original heists lol

TLDR get the nightclub and upgrades. I wouldn’t even bother getting weed and documents mc biz’s

In prep for the casino update, I was doing the AFK nightclub thing plus a single sell/resupply for the bunker to net me a little over a million/day without grinding(more with this week's bonuses). I loving hate those bunker sell missions, though. If you get the insurgent one it just suuucks so much.

Also, I maxed out both of my nightclub sell vehicles on armor and run flats. The proxy mine add on also makes short work of the NPC's, but with the nightclub missions they're pretty tame anyways.

lol we did one of those insurgent missions the other night and I keep flashing back to the first time I did it. I was solo and thought it was like most of the other where you get 3 vehicles and each makes 5 stops, and the on screen instructions were kinda vague "Go to the drop off". I must have destroyed at least 10 merryweather buzzards shuttling myself back and forth once I got the trick down. Finally got all sold with less than :30 sec on the clock

If cash flow is tight you can skip on the middle vehicle (Mule? it's trash) and just get the bigger one (Pounder?). Sales will still be one vehicle, if it's <1/3 full it'll be the van, if its more than that it will use the big truck

They should have given the blimp some insane countermeasures, like just insanely powerful defensive weapons because anybody who shoots down a blimp is a bad person.

I've got a blimp and I love it. Its way faster than you'd think and I invite people to blow it up all the time, because its very satisfying to see it pop into a shower of confetti.

I don't think I've ever had anyone maliciously blow it up when I pull it out in a public session, they always wanna fly it, ride in it, or park an oppressor on it while I'm flying it around. A note on that last aspect, it does make a surprisingly stable mobile snipers nest

PS4 - "private" public lobby method

1. start a party with at least one friend

2. go to story mode, or the main creator menu if online

3. go to party menu in dashboard, select 'play together'

4. choose first option, 'create new game session and invite players (host)'. party members DO NOT accept invite.

5. you may be in the clouds a while, esp. if starting from creator menu. when you load in you will be in an empty public lobby. your friends may now join you from options>friends>you>join session

these sessions seem to be pretty rando-proof. had a 4 player room for hours with no other players dropping in.

Yup. Though we have decent luck with me setting MTU, having friends join, me fixing MTU and joining back. Not that I bother anymore but when we were seriously grinding and getting blown up by flying bikes it was nice.

otoh it's fun to use tiny transgressions as a reason to gun for someone til they get mad/leave/beat me at my own game.


also fun: when you blow up someone's product or supplies, and they message something like, "why?" just tell them you have ocd and had to follow the instructions on screen.

no matter what they say next say, "I have a note from my doctor."
