I logged in to "put my name on the list" on my ps4 and as I was zipping through the city I SWEAR I saw a poster for the United States Space Force. Couldn't find it again though. :(

Hydra is on sale for 2 million right now for anyone that doesn't have it.

I don't know much about the aircraft added in the last year or so, are any of them good for a 3-4 person group that just likes to run around doing VIP work and general screwing around?

I always play this game for about 3 weeks every 6 months with a couple friends and the first 2 is remembering what we have and can do.

I have a bunker and the MOC, so I won't buy the Avenger. I have almost no missions unlocked in the MOC. Are they unlocked from selling supplies you research in the bunker? I'm bad at the game and we never do anything but missions, heists and CEO stuff so I'm rarely in a public session

I've been playing around with Gunrunning research since I found out you can idle in your apartment overnight. Are any of the weaponized vehicles worth anything, other than the Oppressor? I've unlocked all of the weaponized Tampa stuff through the magic of RNG.

I started playing this game (in solo public lobbies because i am a coward) while waiting for RDO to get good and I'm a little confused about how warehouses work.

I bought a small warehouse because it's all I could afford--I filled it up with 16 crates, and when I went to sell it all, it gave me a "warning, you should make friends because there might be more than one vehicle" popup, but the 8-crate mission seemed to be geared to be soloable.

Is 8 crates the upper limit of what's designed to be done solo, overall, or is it a ratio of the warehouse? In other words, if I bought and filled up a large warehouse, would the "sell half the stock" mission be a solo mission, or would I be stuck selling 8 crates at a time (or rolling the dice on the harder missions)? I know that the vehicle warehouse is the better solo option, and I'm doing that, but I'm curious about what to do with the cargo warehouse in-between car cooldowns. Seems like I might as well just be doing sightseer missions instead.

Also, I bought the criminal enterprise starter pack because I was drunk and have slightly more money than sense; of the free cars that it gives me, what's the fastest one that I should be using to get around (I know there's a helicopter too, but I'm curious about the cars)? For some reason my garage isn't giving me the stat preview popup and i'm too lazy to click around on the vehicle sales sites on the internet.

If you're just starting out you shouldn't be worrying about crates because you will fail miserably and lose a lot of money and hate this stupid game but keep playing it for years because it's consumed your soul and your dad no longer loves you and you question everything.

The free stuff from Criminal Enterprise is nice, but you should be focusing on getting a buddy to run the first heist with you so you can get the Armored Kuruma which is pretty much required for solo stuff. If you're on PS4 hit me up and we can be best buddies again.

Meh, don’t listen to people dumping on crates so much. I don’t do it anymore, but I amassed quite a fortune doing crates solo and had fun doing it. It became like playing solitaire or minesweeper, but not as addictive.

Crates can be fun, fight me

For someone just starting the game I would challenge that they are not fun. :D

The most fun I've had in this game was 2 years ago during snow where my friends and I just stood around watching a constantly escalating series of accidents because the game NPCs didn't know how to handle snow. Watched two cars hit each other on a hill, cop came to see the accident and another car hit them, so the cop shot the other car, fire department came to put out the explosion, and it just kept going from there.

What's not cool is doing stuff like this on the busiest days of the year so only friendless neckbeards get the stuff. Rockstar is literally saying your time otherwise spent with family & friends is worth almost nothing.

I don't really play this game anymore because it's just majorly boring. It's fun to terrorize a lobby for maybe a half hour before you get run off by a modding white knight. Heists are good, but get extra repetitive once you realize every enemy spawns in the same exact place on the map every time. Same going for most of the missions, in & out of free roam.

I just wish Rockstar would put this game out to pasture & give everyone a zillion funbux instead of everyone having to beg a modder for it I guess. :shrug:



Happy New Year :toot:

I read that GTA online is consistently in the top 10 most profitable games each year. I don't see them cashing in their cash cow quite yet.

Edit - and as far as friendless neckbeards only being able to get the bonuses, it's literally a login bonus. Takes 2 minutes to log in and qualify for the rewards. :D

If that were the case, would they go after the players who afk grind the nightclub? It's not a glitch, but def an exploit outside of intended game play.


Yeah that's the argument I've seen a lot of. I think it'd be harder to hit the AFK business grinding because I don't think there's a good way to flag people doing it legitimately or not, whereas the Lester glitch SEEMS like it will be stupid easy to detect since no one is LEGITIMATELY getting millions in refunds from plane calls

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

It would be great if you could bet money to other players, because I have tons of money and tons of toys but my friends I play with have lives so they didn't grind stuff like crazy. That way I could bet 10 million to my friend that my pair of 2s will beat his full house.
