I also can't stress enough how cool it is to watch your office gradually have more and more crap pile up as you make cargo runs. You just stole what your shady computer contact claims is $36,000 worth of jewelry or coke or illegal weapons or mink coats, of course you'd bring some back to the office to make sure it's the real deal.

How many different things are there, anyway? So far I've found:

Counterfeit money
Weapons and ammo
Electronics
Animal materials
Tobacco and alcohol
Narcotics
Art
Gemstones
Jewelry
Bullion
Biological materials (which, if you look at it in first person, turns out to be anthrax and bubonic plague :stonk:

I've had medical supplies before. I think the trailer showed weapons and human organs too. Where do the animal materials appear in the office?

So far I have an elephant tusk on one of the desks and a couple of furs on the futon. I think a couple of mink coats also show up in the closet, but I need to check.

I guess word got out that even if you could do the new missions on an invite only server, you'd still make less money than grinding the solo VIP work, so they decided to "fix" the solo VIP work :P

33% full on the 111 capacity warehouse. Different crate items starting to show up like fur coats, huge elephant ivory tusks. So far soloing this stuff is a pretty excellent way to kill time, with the occasional exception of having to pick up 3 different boxes all out at sea.

A thing I never figured out given the limited time I played GTA Online (lack of friends and antisocialism :saddowns:): can you buy planes and helicopters and such for keeps or garaging or other instant delivery, or how does that all work? I never got far enough along to use Merryweather or the like.

If you are careful you can do it with a helicopter just don't goo too far down into the water. Touch a crate with any vehicle and you pick it up.

Ypu can buy various aircraft and watercraft for delivery by a contact. They'll then spawn at certain spots on the map near where you are, so you have to go drive/run to em. They can't be modified, but they also don't take an insurance hit if you get them blown up.

You get a contact you call when you purchase one and it's delivered. Not sure if it's changed with the new update given that you can have an office with a helipad, though.

It's quite annoying that despite having a helipad on my office roof, Pegasus still chooses to deliver my buzzard 2 miles away. :(

You can exit via your Pegasus vehicles, but that costs $1000. Other than that you can spawn just like normal VIP stuff when you're not on a mission.

Actually it costs $1000-4000 depending on the vehicle, which is poo poo. Armed ones tend to be $3000+

This update has really taught me to hate needless animations. It's bad enough I have to go back to the office for every next shipment, do I really have to watch this drawn out "sit down at the computer" and "stand up from the computer" animation? This whole thing could really be streamlined to eliminate wasted minutes.

So with CEOs being able to hire "rivals", can a group of 3 friends all register as CEOs, all hire each other as bodyguards, and rotate through VIP work while getting double/triple pay as bodyguards? Or do you have to take turns by retiring/then hiring?

This has been Rockstar's thing for like... ever. And yeah, it's loving insane and clunky as hell and SUCH a waste of time.


My new favorite thing about this patch on PS4 is that I no longer hear someone pinging me with an anti-air missile at all anymore. No tagging, lock on or missile-in-transit and the fact that people are getting me with with poo poo-angle or face-on-missiles all the time now. loving rockstar goddamn fix your garbage game or at least give me some loving chaff/flares to survive ONE missile launch. I can't outrun or outmaneuver anti air MANPADS at all now for some reason.

Much like how your modern smartphone cannot play personal music files nor connect to internet ratio stations, allowing the user to listen to their music outside of a vehicle, it cannot access certain websites.

No.

The last answer was kind of wrong, in that cars go into storage if you trade it for something with a smaller garage. The first slots as they are listed in your mechanic menu are the ones that will be in the smaller garage, you can call the mechanic to bring the ones in storage out.

But yes, you can call those stored cars out and garage them elsewhere if you want, you don't need to though

This means everyone should buy Las luganas #4 with your armored kuruma in the 3rd slot so I don't have to be the only drat one drivin in the friggin pac standerds


Edit: if you trade your house or apartment for a 10-car garage so you can just live on your yacht or in your office, your garage stays the same
