Republic of Scotland Merchant Vessel Saltire. Now I just need the 2 million to get the biggest yacht. Also I sold my Weazel Plaza apartment and custom Chino lowriders for a stilt house, didn't realise it was one that has the garage separate until I was looking around... dang it.

Gotta love the Miami Vice-like vibe the lighting gives.

Also traded my Eclipse apartment for one of the stilt houses. I too was disappointed with the garage access.

I can't imagine Rock star will leave the stilt houses the way they are, it seems to be a unanimous complaint about garage access all around.

So on Xbox One. What is the best way solo to grind some cash? Doing missions or heists with random people if an exercise in frustration that is maddening. I have a friend that I can play with sometimes and we try to play the first Heist twice to grind an easy 100-150k for roughly 40 minutes of playtime. I wish I had 3 friends to play with as I think it would be easy to make money and XP by just doing heists.

I also can't find the answer but in the previous pages people mentioned an armored car that was better than the Kuruma. What was it again? That might be my next goal or the limo with the mounted gun. I'm currently at 700k and I can't even look at the shark cards to get some quick cash as the prices are a joke...

My first and only big grind was getting the 1.6 million I needed for the Valkyrie helicopter and that took almost my full 2 weeks vacation to do. So much time in fact it burnt me and I dropped the game until this week with this latest update.

I may be missing something so it's not just painful but also fun.

If you're doing solo stuff then just play Titan of a Job by yourself over and over again, if you've got friends then do the Pacific heist. Do that until you hear about some kind of car duping exploit then bust the gently caress out of it.

I thought they nerfed payout on Rooftop Rumble a few updates ago. Is that not the case or is it still worthwhile?

It's had the same payout rates since the big change to all payout rates that made them adjust for time taken/people helping.

Both Titan of a Job and Rooftop Rumble are not too hard to solo as a level 55 (to give you an idea of the guns I have access to)?

If you have an Armored Kuruma and an AP Pistol with full upgrades, both of which you can get by like level 37, you're good to go on them. If you don't want to use an Armored Kuruma, a Vapid Dominator makes a great car to use as mobile cover to duck behind and then shoot from behind.

With the special carbine, proximity mines and homing launcher all at level 1, it really doesn't matter weapon wise. What matters is the amount of extra armor you can bring with you.

I don't have the Kuruma but I do have an Insurgent so I might try with that. I'll look into the AP Pistol and make sure it's fully upgraded as far as I can.

The Karuma is a must if you want to grind up cash in missions. It was one of the first cars I bought and it has paid for itself many times over. My only tip would be if you grind missions, add anyone who is vaguely competent or has a mic to your friends so you can invite them in the future. Same for heists. By doing this I have a decent number of people to invite when there aren't any goons around in the evening. Allows me to get a heist every now and again.

If you have an armoured karuma (or better yet, start with a karuma then switch to an attack helicopter) then The Los Santos Connection is a useful one to solo. You can grab an extra $6k or so in drug packets in various places.

No.

The expensive yacht get the new carbon fibre helicopter on the back helipad, and nothing on the front. If you call your captain and have him deliver a helicopter, he will deliver the one on your boat.

My brother and I made friends with a modder yesterday! He was really nice, said he was sick of other people modding and pretty much went "if you can't beat 'em, join 'em" and proceeded to rain $40m onto each of us. My brother got the yacht he thought would always be out of reach, and I bought the submarine, the gold Swift, the new fancy helicopter, a T20, another lowrider, the seaplane, and another property.

If I had purchased Shark Cards instead of glitching and receiving gifts from benevolent people I'd be out $700.

I don't really like speaking in English since it's not my first language but I'll add you nonetheless. I'll also look about joining some kind of Goon crew to help maximize my chances of getting normal partners in crime!

I listened to the thread and got a Kuruma. I'm now dirt poor with 70k to my name! Fun times ahead!

Small question. How are the performance on PC if you have a nice gaming rig? THe abmyssal long load times on the Xbox One are very painful. Especially the initial Online one. I'm wondering if it's because of the limitations of the console or the Social Club stuff.

As a nicerig haver (i5, gtx970, ssd), from desktop I'm playing single player in about a minute, then going to online from that is 30 secs to a minute, depending on where in the world the game decides to connect me!

Had a fun session just now until some modder crashed me.

First everyone got invincible tanks, which caused some mayhem.

Then everyone got invincible Lazer jets, which was hilarious. The dog fights were great. Rockstar should just add mod menus into the game as default, it makes online much funnier.

The Israelites took over a large public server.

We did all of the VIP work and Challenges twice.

Fended off a rival organization who attacked our helicopter and took them down three times. They tried to assault our ship with a combo of attack, transport helicopters and ships and we took them out.

Sent the bodyguards on some challenges while I smoked cigars.

It was good!

Yep, just read some posts about it on mpgh.net. Seems to be linked to 1)selling spawned Moonbeam lowriders, 2)spawning money bags, 3) boosting RP levels and 4)Rockstar's undying hatred of fun. I even heard someone got banhammered in the middle of a session while not running any mods, so it must be some flags being triggered somewhere.

Knowing the fine folks at Rockstar, the ban's once again focused on people spawning money and cars to sell for money and not on people who are actually griefing and crashing the hell out of public sessions.

So if you buy the cheapest yacht, you can pay to incrementally upgrade to the most expensive one? Or is it a partial trade value like with properties.

Same thing here, I was doing that Lester mission where you have to successfully hook a cargo container under a freeway bridge and then fly it to his warehouse, I managed to hook it and fly out without crashing, then it immediately fell into the drink.

I didn't bother trying again.
