I bought all 3 at Weazel Plaza so my garages are easily accessible. I started with 101 on 360 because I liked the view, but now I don't really give a poo poo, but having all the garages together is nice.

I like 3 Alta Street, Apartment. 10 and 3 Alta Street, Apartment. 57. Almost the cheapest apartments that can still be used for heists, and they're right smack dab in the center of LS by the unfinished skyscraper and light rail stop, which means easy escapes from the cops.

That and it's close to the La Puerta helipad, not too far from an Ammunation, and the Eastern Mod Shop is easy to get to.

I've always liked Del Perro the black building in the west of the city, it's got a secluded garage entrance, has an ammu-nation and 7/11 within a block and it's pretty direct to the marina and airport.

You have a view over the junction next to ammu-nation so you usually get to watch someone blow up, although the view out of your telescope is the side of the building next to you.

Main thing I like about either Alta apartment is that you can see the garage entrance from your window so you know if someone's camping it.

Because they're 15 and think they're ruining the game for you. I'd just change sessions if someone started doing it to me, in fact I did change sessions many times in the glory days of the Xbox 360.

3 Alta is prime location.
Like you said it's right in the middle of the city, but it's also close to a mod shop, clothes shop, an Ammunation a Helipad for spawning your Buzzard/frogger, and Mors Mutual depot is literally around the corner. There's also a gang attack location right across the street, as well as a subway tunnel entrance.

The actual road access is good too, mostly off of the big avenues and close to an on/offramp.

The airport is also a straight shot south from the road your car exits onto, and it's far enough away from the Richards Majestic clusterfuck that the vast majority of the time you can exit your garage in peace. The parking lot directly behind the garage entrance also has a freeway entrance through a broken wall in the SW corner on the South wall. It's also literally walking distance from the Mors Insurance lot less than a block away to the south.

On the plus side, Alta Street is pretty central, which is great for getting to any of the three chop shops, the airport, various clothing stores, etc. After playing a solid year after launch (and intermittently since then) I know pretty much how to get from that place to whatever I need. But it's more expensive than every ten-car garage, so I would say if you need a heisting apartment, Alta Street is great, but if you have one already then unless it's in the arse-end of nowhere you're fine. Maybe once they up the cap for houses and garages, but you know.

On the note of being in the arse-end of nowhere, I know we've been saying this for a while now but I would really love having a 10 car garage/apartment up north of the city. The few times I play nowadays, I barely leave the city, which is a shame.

Apparently there was a "Heavy Rifle" in an earlier build of the game that looked like a SCAR-H. Semi-autos are almost always my weapon of choice in shooters, so I hope they bring it back in a future update. I'm phone posting or I'd look it up myself, but there's a picture floating around that shows the weapon-wheel renderings of all core and DLC weapons plus a few unused ones, so I've got my fingers crossed. There's also an MG3-looking LMG that I'd like to have.

unless we're talking about different guns, that mg is actually an kh21. there's only 4 cut guns (guns, not props or melee weapons) left in the hud for the game I think. there's also a few lines referencing a usas-12 that doesn't have a hud icon, which would have owned.

I looked through the weapons files when it was mentioned about missing guns, and I didn't find any info about any other guns other than the ones that we can currently get in game.

Those look nice though and they should put them back in game

You can submit a ticket to R* and they'll just up and give you a new redesign upon next login.

They'll also reset your custom license plate too if you ask.

The two main Alta St apartments are $217,000 and $230,000. The absolute cheapest 10 car garage apartments are two apartments in Del Perro for $200,000 and like $210,000

Are you confusing the one "renovated" and thus expensive apartment in Alta St for the other two?

So buy a house? Is not having a four additional custom cars really that big of a dealbreaker? I mean yeah it sucks that there's no 10 car garages out in the country but it's not going to stop me from buying one of those 6 car houses at the top of the map.

No, not ten-car apartments, ten car garages. Like the two down at the airport. There's a few around the city, they're betweeen $100k and $150k, while 10-car apartments start at $200k if I remember correctly? My point was it's great if you don't have an apartment for heists, but you don't really need a second one, and while Alta Street is in a nice place, it's not worth buying a second one or replacing your first one to have it.

And yeah, honestly I like having cars, even if getting the money to upgrade them is a complete farce. There are a number of cars I own entirely for the novelty of it.

Third one down looks like a Tactilol AR-10. I'm guessing that became the Marksman Rifle.

I bought all 3 Del Perro apartments just to be able to easily transfer and organize cars, I hate waiting on the Mechanic to cool down.

Also, I need the 30 spaces because a) I'm a hoarder and like to have different cars to drive, and b) I buy Adders to sell later as a way of laundering the money I get from modders so Cockstar can't take it away from me, especially since the new update is coming up soon and I can tell the new stuff is going to be hella expensive.

Though honestly, if I'm not driving my Armored Kuruma I'm usually riding a motorcycle, even though I also have a few daily drivers I like to cruise around with as well. I tried making a racing garage with the best upgraded cars of each class but I realized it was pointless because most races usually have custom vehicles turned off anyway, and I don't do races all that often anyway.

If I really wanted to and downgrade my properties, I could just get rid of all my vehicles except my Armored Kuruma, Zentrono, Hearse, Daemon, single headlight Ruffian, Injection, and Dukes and I'd be satisfied, and still have room for four other cars or bikes. Supercars are overrated especially considering the 120mph speed limiter but you gotta at least have one fast as gently caress overpriced car, am I right? :v:

I've read on some of the forums that the "storage" function when you buy/insert a new car into an already full garage will let you keep up to 30 custom vehicles, even if you only own 3 6 car garages. 4 of your cars just won't be in a garage, but can be called for from the Mechanic.
