Started up Piracy Prevention in a low-pop server, and instantly some level 80 guy grabbed his Oppressor Mk2 and started hucking missiles at me.

I sniped his oppressor enough to cause him to bail and then finished him off in the water.

Then he said he was selling his Oppressor, trapped me in a mod-menu cage, and left the server.

Run Pacific Standard with me, goons.

Kamacho was the last one I purchased too, it's pretty fun to drive and has a lot of customization!

Also I've made about a half million bucks doing 2x contact missions the past few days, conveniently about the base price of a Kamacho!

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.

Stupid case of needing to have money to make money. It's almost like TakeTwo wants me to have to play the game or something...

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.

Upgrades don't matter for AFKing? Hmm! Might pick up a Coke and Meth with my Gunrunning earnings (as long as Zig doesn't blow me up)

FAQ
Are there any differences between the penthouses

For once, yes! Well, technically... they're the same basic property layout, but each option gives you different addon options.

The Cash Pad: The basic Penthouse with no property addons available . You cannot purchase a garage, extra bedroom, lounge, etc. with the Cash Pad. You can, however, purchase penthouse customizations (colour and wall patterns).
The Party Penthouse: Gives you certain of the addon options: the main Penthouse, the Extra Bedroom, the Lounge Area, the Spa, and the Bar and Party Hub. You are locked to these options, no more, no less.
The High Roller: Gives you all of the property addons as standard, and the most expensive penthouse customization options... this means that you cannot choose your own colour and wall patterns with this version.
The "Design Your Own": ...What should be the standard option. It gives you the basic penthouse and allows you to choose which addons and customizations you want, with an extra cost for each one, of course. Just get this one. You can also renovate this option later, allowing you to purchase more addons and change your customizations later.

What do the Penthouse Addons do?

Lounge Area: Allows you to purchase the other Penthouse Addons (except for the Extra Bedroom and Garage, which are the only items addons that can be purchased without a Lounge).
Media Room: You know the cinemas around Los Santos? The ones that play a few 5 minute animated films on repeat? That, but in a Penthouse.
Spa: Gives you access to a hot tub and a Personal Stylist. The Stylist's services are the same as the ones spread around Los Santos (hair, contacts, and make up), but they're all free.
Bar and Party Hub: Allows you to consume drinks that instantly intoxicate your character, along with access to special arcade games that aren't available anywhere else in the game.
Private Dealer: Allows you to play gambling games in your penthouse.
Office: Adds a standard computer, a Gun Locker, and a money vault (don't get excited, it's just aesthetic).
Extra Bedroom: (coming soon)
Garage: A 10-car garage.

Bugs and Glitches
Apparently on PS4 and Xbox One, you must have full size of GTA V available to download the update, so if you have less than ~60GB free, you may have trouble downloading the update. This does not mean that the entire game is re-downloaded, it just means that the update may not download if you don't have that much space available.

Here's a few notable posts:

Initial basic membership is 500 GTA$

The free penthouse is a 1.5 million dollar discount. So get the 0$ one and buy the upgrades you want

Some may not see the discount on the penthouse yet, R* has said you will be re funded

Always buy the build your own penthouse, so you can customize more of it and add on later

The penthouse garage is for personal storage. The parking garage is where the valet takes everyone’s car to be safely displayed

The “office” is just a computer for the internet. Basically your phone on a desk, save your money if you are tight

The missions are glitched so far, from what I’ve read, if you’re having trouble restart your game it should fix it

You can only buy 50k chips per hour

Passive mode cool down is up to 5 minutes!!

Passive mode is disabled on weaponized vehicles

There are 22 vehicles in this update, 16 to come

I wanted an Oppressor Mk2 ever since the first time I got blown up by one, so I grinded and grinded and made just enough money to afford it.

I then had enough cash on hand to buy the Oppressor Mk2, but I needed a Terrorbyte to unlock purchasing it, so I grinded and grinded and made just enough money to afford that, too.

I then had enough cash on hand to buy the Terrorbyte and the Oppressor Mk2, but I needed a Nightclub to unlock purchasing that, so I grinded and grinded and made just enough money to afford that, too.

I then had enough cash on hand to buy the Nightclub, Terrorbyte and the Oppressor Mk2, but I was pretty pissed at this point and stopped playing almost entirely since everyone already had one and would blow everybody up just for breathing the same air.

Then months later Rockstar had discounts on Nightclubs, Terrorbytes, Oppressor Mk 2s, and I bought all of them with some discounted upgrades. Life was good for about 6 seconds until I realized that I no longer had enough left to fully upgrade the Oppressor Mk2. So I grinded and grinded and made just enough money to afford it and now finally almost a full year after the release of the Oppressor Mk2, I actually owned one.

I should have just bought a Shark Card back in 2018.

For those that missed it a page or two back, afk nightclub cash generation is the way to go. You do an initial grind to buy a few businesses and a nightclub, then link the former to the latter with warehouse techs who auto generate goods and watch your income snowball. Youll soon be to a point where you can do 1 sell mission once a day for about $700-800k. No need to keep the businesses supplied either.

Now that they adjusted nightclub promotions that will generate additional cash as well.

Enjoy the AFKing fees - you can no longer enter owned properties when running missions.

Summary of what all the stuff in the new Casino DLC might cost you: $63,548,081 in-game cash.

penthouse (styles, etc.): $8,884,500
clothes: $14,427,759
decorations: $7,279,490
tattoos: $1,598,820
vehicles: $28,030,250
and vehicle mods: $3,326,762.

Based on the cost of in-game Shark cash cards, if you bought $64,000,000 using the highest value card – the Megalodon, which is worth $8,000,000 and has the best value ‘conversion’ rate – you’d spend $799.92 (£519.92).

Jack_tripper posted:

if you don't get the car or whatever you want on your spin just alt-f4 and you can spin again

Alt+F4 would mean you have to load the game again, and also still tries to send data to Rockstar during the shut-down. Here's a better way:

Physically unplug your internet connection, OR disable your network connection (image) and it'll dump you back to single player, allowing you to reconnect/reenable, reconnect to Social Club and load back into Online.

I got it down to about 2.5 minutes between attempts.

EDIT: If you don't own a Penthouse, remember to change the settings to make you spawn in your last location.

There's two variants, hard top and open top, both spawn when you call Merryweather Mercs on another player. You can then do the iFruit glitch to change the stock wheel color.

I've wanted a Dubsta2 ever since I first got online but haven't ever found one or found anyone willing to help spawn one.

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.

Been trying to get some AFK nightclub monies rolling in. Seems to only work if I AFK in an active lobby. I just put a rubberband on my Xbone joystick while hanging out in the nightclub and it goes just fine.

If I try to do the same exact thing inside a contact mission, I get kicked for being idle for too long :(.

NC goods accrue inside an invite-only session too so you can avoid getting kicked by pubbies. Don't think they do outside of free-mode though. Just make sure you disband CEO/MC before you AFK so as to not incur additional daily fees.

I think you can do everything for the Nightclub inside an invite-only session except for selling.

1. Select your matte color.

Is there a way to do this on things that don't have plates, like the Avenger?

Probably!

Here are a few of my matte pearls:

gray w/ lime green?
black w/ diamond blue
dark red w/ orange or yellow?
wine or black? w/ hot pink

I can't actually tell you which colors I used without performing the glitch again but here are some examples!

The colored stock wheels glitch needs the iFruit app (on your phone or Bluestacks emulator) but only works on cars without ANY chrome on the stock wheels.

1. Select cheapo wheel, paint them your color
2. Open iFruit app, find the car in your garage list, change wheels back to stock, process the order
3. Head to LSC when you get in-game text message, drive in, pay, you have colored stock wheels.

I've used this for Insurgents, Merryweather Mesa's and all my supercars (again, only if they don't have chrome elements on the stock wheels)


Here's the video for the 4D paint job: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9PbLB0JQxSc which I just used to make this:
