Thanks to trbrbr, vatthammer, buckshot, back_hack, user and anyone i forgot for helping me set up my operations. Was concerned that there aren't enough MC jobs but it turns out there's a bunch more missions available at clubhouse that are all pretty fun and seem to pay out well.

Other things i've learned;

A supply run (steal) fills 4 pips of your supply bar so you don't need to do them very often at all.

Riding in formation refills your health and armor.

A full compliment of businesses has a huge a daily upkeep cost of 24k :smith:

Pipebombs explode on impact.

The hackucho drag is hella fast.

The MC murals seem to be bugged and reset themselves.

The sell missions are very similar to the VIP sell missions.

Presidents, and vice presidents have a huge health and resistance buff.

The piracy prevention analogue takes 10 minutes longer but for the same payout.

Braining someone with a wrench at 150mph owns.

So can I trade my lovely office in for a weed farm MC? Because I only have $2.3m left and I want a sweet MC with a bike garage and some rad bikes, but I know I need to save for that awesome skull bike and rat rod Tornado :v:

How are the payouts for MC members? I'd find out right after work but I have to do dumb things like buy hurricane supplies and remove potential missiles from the yard. It's a racket if you ask me.

You can use the compact grenade launcher while on a motorcycle. God help us all.

If you don't buy the gunsafe in the clubhouse, but have the one from the office, you lose your custom load out when you go into MC mode. gently caress you rockstar

If you delete your alt to use the rank duplication thing, do you lose all the clothing you've bought and stuff you've unlocked for it previously? 'cause that's a lot of time and money spent.

You can only own 1 of each. So 1 weed farm, 1 meth lab, 1 cash launderer, etc.

Oh god, there's $1m worth of upgrades inside the businesses, too. The $650k forgery office seems to make $10k an hour, so ignoring resupply and stock sale stuff, it would take 60 hours of play time with it active to break even, ain't nobody playin this game for 60 hours.

edit: new math:

$650k op with no upgrades
$11k in warehouse value in 70 minutes
$16,500 sale option
10 minute mission to sell the things
$9k time bonus for the checkpoints
In the end it paid $36,800 for $11k worth of warehouse value.


A full warehouse would probably be around $50k, so it might be a 10 minute $100k mission every 4-5 hours per crime business. The upgrades add value and decrease production time, so once you drop $20 mil into all this poo poo, you might be able to pull $1mil an hour back out without much trouble.

I figured out the melee poo poo, with a 360 pad you hold X+A and hit either left bumper to swing left, right bumper to swing right.

It also works for guns, so you can pistol whip somebody while riding a bike.

And by pistol whip I mean



Bash their loving skull in with a sawed off grenade launcher.

Are any of the new bikes noticeably better than the Gargoyle/Cliffhanger for free roaming chaos?

Also, which parts of the MC money making setups are the most vulnerable to "interruptions". Can I poo poo all over your weed farms or w/e while they are making money?

I really need someone else to figure out the min/max on the operational side for me. I'll research making GBS threads all over other MCs for us.

As far as i can tell, only the supply and sell things can be interfered with. you get a bonus for doing it with rival MCs in session.

I just bought and fully upgraded the top coke operation 10 minutes ago, so within an hour we should know it's ROI. I didn't get the security system but it says it reduces the chance of it being raided by enemies/cops, and i figured you could go bust that up when it pops up.

Are you meant to have to found the MC all over again once you join a new GTA online session? Likewise, are you meant to have to reinvite people to join your MC every time they come online? Seems like a weird way of doing it. It means that you have to reassign club roles like enforcer, VP, SGT at arms etc every time you play.

It works the same as the CEO stuff. you should be able to just re-activate your club, but you still have to invite eerybody every session.

I'm gonna go ahead and say it's not worth buying the businesses. The 3 mil total cost for the cocaine business makes $210k every 2 hours with about 40 mins worth of input, or $145k an hour with about half an hour input. so it will take 14 hours of play time with 7 hours of driving god drat vans everywhere just to make the money back, and another equivalent of that to have made more than just doing other poo poo

you can avoid the resupply missions buy buying supplies, but it's $75k to fill it, and the base level operation won't make $75k back off of that.

It's probably worthwhile for one person to buy one just to get some fresh missions out of it.

The contract missions in the clubhouse are garbage too, there's basically 3 of each and most of them don't pay gently caress all.
