You could probably play 4 rounds of Base Invaders in the time it gets to wave 10 of survival if you're playing with people that know what they're doing. 25k payout for every win. Unfortunately most people just run straight out into the open thinking they're Rambo and get mowed down in less than a second by half a dozen army dudes. The sniper rifle and some explosives are your best friends during that mission.

Actually, the empty buzzards that spawn in the base without protection are your best friend in that mission ;p

I AM THE SCALES OF JUSTICE, CONDUCTOR OF THE CHOIR OF DEATH!

Had a weird, but useful bug earlier. I figured I should buy a garage with the money I had already saved up, since hey, stimulus package later in the month. So I went and snagged a 6 car but for whatever reason, the game didn't charge me. I still have the garage, but it left my $110k alone. I ended up blowing that money on a Comet because gently caress yeah, Comets. Also, as soon as the camera service stops being silly, I can proudly say I joined the Phoenix owners club :3:

In fact...

That was me. I was trying a few different methods, and none of them really worked too well. I ended up losing several cars.

That said; if you plan it out ahead of time, then just put placeholder cars in your garage, that works. I filled mine with 10 random cars, then just sold them as I found the cars I wanted in any specific slot. I'm kinda anal about my cars being in a certain order like that. My Sand King is at the back, then the Sheriff SUV, then my Benefactor Sedan (forget the name) and so on...

Some random NPC put a 9000 dollar bounty on me for stealing her car. I've found that when evading your head being collected, grabbing a boat and standing out at sea with it works really well. So I call up Lester and tell him to point out a boat to me.

When I get to the dot he marked, I find it's a goddamn submarine. :monocle:

I dived down to the depths of the ocean offshore and I now have people waiting for me on the beach/swimming down to get me. I highly recommend doing this. All I'm missing is some popcorn.

I figure it's also an excellent way to go ahead and grab the "Evade your bounty for a day" achievement.

Edit: HMS Goonsub in action



Just the other day I was chasing a bounty who did just that. I see him in the middle of the Blaine County lake and I'm thinking he's in a chopper or something, so I grab myself a chopper at the airfield, which turns out to be a chinook. I tried to lift a car so i can drop it on him in case he's swimming but don't remember which button it was so I go without it. When I reach him I realize he's in fact underwater in what I think is a car. I'm sitting there in my chopper thinking "What the gently caress, you can get infinite breathing?!?! This is bullshit! Nothing is infinite in this game so why should breathing be?!?!"

And then I realize he's in a loving submarine. So I land my chopper and affix some sticky bombs to it hoping to basically depth charge the gently caress out of him using a giant loving seagull explosive. I crash my chopper appr where he is but he starts sailing off and when I blow up the chopper no dice. Would have been cool if it worked. So now I'm loving stranded in the lake with nothing but a knife, but now he decides to surface which is great because I can board his sub and try to sticky bomb it, but WAIT he's getting out and he's gonna machine gun me! I try diving and avoiding and this goes on back and forth a bit and eventually he kills me. His bounty ends but I'm still pissed off and I want to kill him on principle. So im shadowing the lake waiting for him to gently caress up, I even try looking for boats on the docks and NOTHING. Eventually I see that for some reason someone else is in the sub and he's swimming so I whip out the handy Barrett sniper rifle I got from survival missions and waste the fucker. gently caress the bounty, gently caress the money, vengeance is mine! Later I whip out my minigun and blow up the guy in the sub too because gently caress that sub.

As much bitching as I do about leveling and unlocks, it does make you get creative when you have a bounty who's a slippery fucker. Honestly sticky bombs for me are a slice of heaven. I can't tell you how many times I've used those things to kill bounties or people just following me because they are pissed or just want "pubbie" to stomp

I think your characters share a bank account, someone mentioned earlier a scam where you create a 2nd character who holds all the cash as kind of an offshore account to save money on free roam deaths.

Is this still doable or did they fix it? If your "offshore" account has the money banked is it "saved"?

I've been told to visit the Dynasty8 Real Estate website in game and that there should be a free garage listed amongst the other properties (Unit 124 Popular St.?)… but for me it's ~$30k. :(

Save up, get one of the 6 car garages, then when you get the stimulus package you can go for the $250k apartment. That's how i'm doing it anyways. Might as well grab a garage now in case you see something cool you want to hang on to.

As someone that's only 20% thru single player mode and just started GTAO yesterday, what are the benefits of apartments/homes?

Obviously prized vehicles can be accessed and stored through the garages but what benefits do residencies have?

do you (or anyone else) have any tips on pulling this off as easy as possible? I know it's 'get a 4-start wanted level, call Lester to lose the wanted level, then steal the SUV' but don't you have to have a little separation from the cops in order for Lester to be able to remove the wanted level? Wondering if there's a particularly easy area to do this one in, would like to add the SUV to my garage.

I didn't have to have any separation from the cops for Lester to get rid of my wanted level. I was in a tank and they were firing at me while I was calling him.

Is there a guide that tells you what missions pay out? I can no longer count with my fingers how many Goddamn missions I've had to chase a loving car cross country, die or lose the car for some lovely reason and then do it again all for poo poo pay. There needs to be trigger warnings for cross country loving chases. It's no wonder single player missions cut you off when a car gets away, it's a mercy kill really

A proper ingame menu? No. A way to do it, yea.

1. Make sure your garage is full. If it isn't, just stuff it with any type of car.
2. Drive whatever car you want to move around out of your garage.
3. Steal a random car.
4. Drive your newly stolen car into your garage and have it replace the car that is outside / you want to move. Don't worry, it wont disappear.
5. Leave the garage on foot(I think you are kicked out anyways) and get back into your old car.
6. Now you can drive it into your garage and change its location with another vehicle.

:siren:Note: The car you move around WILL LOSE ALL ITS UPGRADES.:siren: Also if you select another personal vehicle out of your garage while there is currently another unsaved personal vehicle outside, it will disappear.

Also another goon posted that a full garage leads to bugs or whatever. I think I experienced this myself when my sheriff suv changed spots and ate a car in the last slot. So just to be safe, sell off a car so you don't have a full garage once you are done moving them around. Would be great if anyone else could post if they have had cars disappear / get eaten if their garage is full.

Apartments are safe hiding spots in case you have a bounty. The high end ones also have windows, so you can watch the chaos below if stuff is going on near you. Also, you can use the TVs to watch what other players are up to in multi if you're busy doing real-life stuff and need some entertainment.

As someone who hid out in a garage when I had a bounty on me, a part of me wishes there was a way to break in still. At least when someone is in a sub you can try and get creative with choppers and stuff, I don't know. Burglary should be a thing. Maybe cuz I'm not a mansion owning Republican yet
