They made the zero missions much easier, i had half a bar left on each.

Not only is a bunch of poo poo AI upscaled, It's upscaled from phone version assets. a bunch of stuff is pulled right from GTA 5 and looks completely out of place. some stuff is still the original model and texture. .

I also can't finish all the missions because the one to buy the car dealership shows up in the middle of the ocean.

do not pay for this garbage. I only played it because it's on game pass

i don't even play the game anymore because it's a bad and dumb game made by a bad and dumb company, so i don't know any of the new stuff.

if you've got something for me to stick in there i'll put it up.

ps. i hope everybody involved with the financial decisions around GTA 5 and GTA Online choke on dog poo poo.

To be fair they added Cayo which is milking it far less hard by giving players an option to make real cash without shark cards and with far less grinding. The casino heists was a step in the right direction as well.

I'm sitting on 120 million I made in six weeks or so, after buying almost everything I wanted in the game, but I played pretty much daily to do it for that 6 weeks. It could still be better, but it's not nearly as bad as it used to be.

I remember when I found out about the Sandking XL rare spawn that would spawn 100% if you were driving another one by it. $17,000 once every 48 minutes? Life doesn't get any better than this!

I loved having that 6-car garage in Harmony so I could store 6 Sandking XLs to sell every 48 minutes. There was another Sandking XL that would spawn in Chumash too.

I still own my original Sandking XL. I should drive it and steal some Sandkings again.

Heh yep still got that garage full of them. Once I got the Terrorbyte the money really started rolling in. My first Christmas working from home was when they had double money on jobs, and since "working" at Christmas time is being available on Teams in case there's an emergency, I ended up running those missions repeatedly all day for a week. I think I made my first million and my first ten million that same week

Sandking XL is the car that (at least at the time) sells for the most when you steal it. It's a rare spawn car so you won't see it regularly.

However, one of GTA online's memory tricks is that a lot of the cars you see will be the same model as whatever you're driving. So if you do manage to get a Sandking, you can drive it to the location where it spawns and 90% of the time it will be another Sandking, so you can get out, steal it, and sell it across the street. I filled up the garage in case I didn't have the time to spawn a new one and wanted to get my sale (you can sell a car once a day in game, which is like 48 minutes)

It's the used car dealership along route 68 across from the auto shop that Franklin can buy in single player, near the prison. It's not just that it's a sandking xl, it's that there are two customized ones that can spawn in that lot and you get a good percentage of the costs for the upgrades when you sell it. A regular sandking xl only sells for like $4500, so it's the customized ones that get you the "big" bucks.

I name this haircut "The Sad Rhino".
Yep, you go to the convenient store down the street, and head east down 68. you must be driving a sand king XL (it has 4 doors instead of two) When you get to the cafe sign, start to Go slow and turn the camera so you’re looking south. Don’t go much faster than other cars, just a leisurely speed. Stay on the road, keep looking south. Once you spot the mod shop in your turned camera, you should have spawned either a yellow or blue custom sanding in the used car lot.
Only works between 9am and 5pm in game.

Beware, this is the gateway car to wanting to spawn ALL of the custom cars and collecting them. I have them all in my second character. There’s like 30 or something… I can’t remember. I quit before I became like the guys that try to collect all of the rare paint jobs on normal cars… that shits crazy.

I’ll still sell the custom sentinels when I get them next to my arcade though :)

Ooof yeah that’s a whole different subspecies of brain worms. Collecting all the gangster versions of low riders, the sand kings and sentinels. Gold and chrome dubstas, and some other one offs like a ruiner, cool surfers, station wagons with and without luggage to your liking.

I have some but have used them to replace existing versions I have. I have enough impulse issues without all that

Saturday, November 27th at 9pm EST / 6pm PST will be our next Goon Theft Auto event night, featuring fun game modes that will involve Stuffing cars into funnels, Carving down the side of Mount Chiliad, and firing pumpkin-spiced RPGs at heavily armored poultry carriers.

So stop, drop, pass the rolls and come join us on Discord to activate Feast Mode. Get basted, sauced, and come have some fun with us while riding the gravy train all the way to Los Santos.

Haven't seen much of that lately. A few Brazilians spawning in crazy poo poo, but no loving with anyone else's account.

Early on, XB360 days? You get a few million, you get a few million, and you get a few million. Anyone want 30 Adders? No one? Free?

All rendered pointless by Herr Strickler's Money and Golden Gun Emporium. I like to think stealing the pistol every time pisses him off more than the endless supplies of jewels and poo poo.

Yeah, the x360 and ps3 were both hacked, meaning mod menus and such could be run on them, later generations not so much. People could still transfer hacked characters from hacked consoles up to current ones, but character transfers ended a few years ago as well.

Clubhouse location does not matter. Business locations…. Usually middle of the map is best. You make more for selling cross country so if you are already starting in the middle that’s eta better than starting either paleto or Elysian ya dig? Also you CAN use the arcade terminal to start sale missions but you have to then go to the business to get your sale vehicles so it’s a time waster

If you own the Nightclub, you can have up to 5 technicians working at a time "generating profit" for your other businesses. All you need to do is have a business open and the Nightclub techs work on product with no supplies. The best way to do it is to set up your businesses, sell so you have no product left and no supplies. That way they remain open without having to worry about the cops closing them down.

The best businesses to assign techs to are Special Cargo, Guns, Coke, Meth, and Cash. You never have to touch the Motorcycle club businesses again if you don't want to, just do everything through the nightclub. Then you can sell it all at once in nice, easy missions that have product generated passively. If you don't care about your electric bill you can leave yourself idling overnight generating free money (I used to go into a mission and watch TV so I didn't have to pay business bills, but I heard that method stopped working)

Guns are still pretty profitable and the missions range from annoying to actually fun so I'd still run them here and there.

Not one NPC has batted an eye about my nice new neon green Stromberg submarine/car just kinda sliding out of the waves onto Vespucci Beach and roaring away. Then again, they didn't say anything about my cheap rear end littering the beach with so many Dingies I started blowing them up out of frustration. Welcome to Los Santos.

Now that the Panther Statue is back, the ol' Kosatka is getting some love in the form of a few upgrades. Can't believe I spent so long without a submersible car, just using the free boat to shuttle myself back and forth. 100% worth it, even if the cheaper option (the Stromberg right now) is not a standout in terms of performance or deadliness.

Last night I tested what would happen if you cancel a Cayo heist with Panther as target. After calling Pavel to cancel, I went back and bought back in to the heist($25k). During the second scope I did indeed find the Panther statue again and a slightly better secondary loot market(coke at the airstrip and a painting in the office which is great for elite solo, and also like 5 golds which is good for a elite team heist). Combined with some discord chat* about people getting screwed out of the Panther, it seems like the flag that says "PANTHER COMPLETE DO NOT GIVE ANOTHER ONE" comes at the end when you complete the heist. If you are deep into the Bogdan mindset and want to try over and over to get the best possible layout, then this is good news for you, as you can keep re-rolling your scope until youre happy with it

The big down side to this is that you will lose your hard mode status when you cancel and buy in again. With the Panther this translates to a $190k boost so its not exactly chump change. Good secondarys and getting elite make up for it somewhat, but still a caveat

*I forget who it was, but their friend was still running the Panther from the last time it was available. They completed the heist, hoping/expecting to be able to get it again since it was the first scope of the week, but it was not available as the target

That's good to know. My GTA buddy and I were wondering about just that yesterday.

I have a suspicion that Rockstar hosed with secondary targets this time around. I forget the actual breakdown, but my buddy and I have similar payouts, with one painting, 1-2 gold, and 2-3 cash each, just in the compound storage areas. No idea on airfield or anything, as we're more focused on $/min. My secondary is 1.6mil, his is 1.2. Imagine we get 1/4 of that if we get the keycard right off the bat.

A trial run on his, with him exiting at the end, netted 1.6mil after expenses and minus minimum payout for the leader, no key card.

Such a good haul. This poo poo is gonna make us rich again. Too bad my dude is busy today, I think the Black Friday discounts are over with after today.
gently caress it, money is not a problem anymore.
