This is a good decision. It's also a way better buy than the oppressor mk 2 which serves the same purpose. Fly it in first person for maximum fun points.

Are the Chips store items like clothes masks and artwork rotating out of the store as new items are made available? Some of the releases make it sound like limited time items, but that's usually only for seasonal items in the R* world

I mean I still want the Oppressor more than I want the jetpack, partly because I don't really want the Facility yet either, so if I don't get it this week such is life

Yes, I think that the casino branded clothes and any free decorations (which don’t show up in the shop anyway) are the exception, but the rest does rotate out.
I’m enjoying the new clothes and interior decorating rather a lot. They also upped the amount for daily objectives slightly, not sure when that was done or how much the weekly and monthly pay outs are.

Facility was my worst purchase as of yet. I've been inside of it twice and never bothered doing any of the Doomsday heist setups since you can easily find people running Bogdan repeats which is (in my opinion) the only thing worthwhile about the Facility.

(Unless you have hacker money and don't mind spending half mils on your orbital cannon)

I think the facility really depends on who you have to play with. I played a couple Act 1 setups, and then hit the jackpot with a random heist buddy - friendly, competent, returning player who had (like me) never played the heist before and wanted to try it out. We ran through the whole thing over a couple days, the heist overall was a lot of fun, and the facility paid for itself quickly.

I would never, ever, ever want to try some of the missions with the usual randoms, though.

How much money does it cost per in-game day for upkeep?

The trick is to start a heist, then you can zap back to the bunker from your phone. then it's a hop, skip and a jump to the hangar to get your Akula and go gently caress with whoever tried loving with you.

Someone on Reddit said the only upkeep is $50/day for your facility mechanic... so basically nothing I guess!

I think the main problem is they advertised the fact that hosts get a bonus so it can take ages to get a team, and sometimes you find you’re down a person before the mission starts.

Problem I was having trying was that as soon as i walked into the circle and went to the setup screen, within about 2 seconds the host would start it, so there was no chance to back out to try again. Of all the dumb things in the game, the mission starting/hosting/setup is one of the more infuriating, as there is no option to intentionally start and host. Especially with a *new* or bonus mission with everyone trying to do the same thing. Sometimes you just want to run a specific mission with specific people

So, are there any reliable ways to start and host these? I think JackDaniels said using a whitelisted lobby will do it. What about starting a legit solo lobby and launching it from that? I did try clearing my lobby(suspend the process in taskman) but when i went to the circle it jumped me into an existing setup

All the casino stuff can be done in a friend or invite session.

The missions are less annoying if you follow some strategies:

1) Loose Cheng - this is just Cleaning the Cat House. Get a couple attack helicopters and nuke the Lost from orbit, set down on the roof of the hotel and get Tao. He'll usually be on the second floor near a hole in the roof.

2) House Keeping - do not follow the route it gives you. Take the bikes to the LS River which leads straight to the auto shop where they're taking the car.

3) Strong Arm Tactics - probably set this on easy if you don't have a full team. If you have a 3rd person, they can take a Hunter or something and land it in the vineyard parking lot. Enemies don't attack from that side first so someone just runs for the chopper, and suddenly you've got air support. Otherwise just use cover tactics because you do know how to do that, right

4) Play to Win - use Oppressors or attack helis and you're done.

5) Bad Beat - another one to put on easy, probably. I don't think there's a way to cheese this, just use cover, snacks, and armor.

6) Cashing Out - Get attack helis and nuke the ranch. If you keep them low to the ground and clear of obstructions, they should survive the cutscene. If the helis don't make it through the cutscene, there are a bunch of Menacers scattered around you can take.

Dumb question then, where are you getting attack choppers and stuff? Just calling them through pegasus or do you need to have it active when you start? One of the ones we tried, I was unable to call the mechanic to summon cars

If you have a hangar and your attack choppers are personal vehicles, you can call them in through the interaction menu.

interaction menu -> vehicles -> all your personal aircraft

There's a bug (maybe a bug) where if you begin some of these missions with "banned" vehicles that aren't allowed in certain missions (such as Oppressor Mk II, APC, Khanjali etc) it won't allow you to call any vehicles.

Feelin like Rusty in Vegas Vacation. keep puttin in dollars and it keeps winning cars. Was curious when I took it to the store, not sure how it figures the sell price at $3000. I would expect it to be zero since its a "free" car with no mods, or half the book value from SanAndreasSuper. Thanks R*




Mad about the interior decoration process. For all the stuff you buy you can only use one copy of it in your penthouse. That's fine because really how many YELLOW DOG WITH CONEs can one man have? What's stupid is when you're placing something, theres no icon on stuff thats already placed, to say "Hey dummy you already put me somewhere" It just lets you put whatever wherever.

Mad about the shared parking garage. What loving good is this dark dank basement garage other than a reserved parking lot when you hit the casino circle hot but don't want to put the car in your real garage. You can get into your car and turn it on. Can get into other player cars but can't turn it on or exit with it. Can't get into the random nice cars down there. Can't rearrange cars to put them next to each other. Can't get in and pop your doors/trunk/hood like a proper car show stance. Can't climb on the cars

It gives you a “do you want to move this” message, but it is a bit annoying there’s not an actual icon.

another game at nationwide arena. everybody keeps asking me if they can fuck the cannon. buddy, they don't even let me fuck it

Got the car on I believe my 6th spin at the wheel. It was funny because, for something so relatively meaningless, time slowed down and I felt like I had a chance when it was about at the bottom of the wheel on the last time around and sure enough.
