Wheres the breakdown on if its cheaper to be MC or CEO for the daily bills, which properties save you money by renting instead of buying, if it really works to quit your MC at 23:58 and then restart it at 12:02 to skip fees, we need information!





Oh hey, double 1.5x on I/E sales this week, and 50% off of special cargo- to break up the grind of client jobs(still double this week lol). ALso looks like double on special vehicle work which is the uhhhhhhh ones with like ruiner 200, rocket voltic, phantom wedge etc? Deluxo, jetpack, stromberg, ruiner 2000 are on sale, lot of car mods, ammo and MK II on sale too.

I've been avoiding utility fees entirely by idling in my apartment watching TV during the Editor and Thief contact mission. Since this is how the vast majority of my Nightclub, Bunker and MC businesses stock is produced, I haven't cared much about the exact breakdown. Given that I usually have to be either MC or CEO for whatever work I'm doing, trying to switch around isn't worth whatever small advantage.

For the Weed sale mission where you drive a truck and get a contact high, shooting out the Windows to clear the smoke doesn't work, but drinking a pisswasser does change the effect from High to Drunk, which some argue makes it slightly easier. Always set a waypoint at the start. Quite certain a Cargobob can't lift the Truck, doubt a rebreather or Scuba suit would help but I'll try it.

Also I know Weed is bad and not worth the time but it was 40% off, for upgrades also, it will be the first MC I shut down once I lose interest. The only upside is because product loss for restarts is based on the units of product and Weed produces a lot, you lose only like 3.75% for each restart.

I also updated my post on the Mule Method for completing the 4 Baggers MC sell mission solo on at the bottom of page 41. After 18 attempts with mixed results, the last 4 have been fully successful but I want further verification. But even at best it's still serious business and not a good idea for casuals. When successful it's saved me about 8 minutes.

When you do shut it down, remember to keep at least a tiny sliver of supplies. That should stop the calls of YOU NEED SUPPLIES from LJT for that business at least

edit: If you shut it down, then you can't produce weed in the club

When I got that mission, some guy in a jet fighter started following me at super-close range. I'm convinced he was going to blow me up but was entertained by the loony driving I was doing.

I'm now extremely confident that Sessionsweeper's impact, at least for me, is cumulative to a degree. The app doesn't let you start it up unless GTA 5 is running, but you can leave Sessionsweeper running & locked and close and restart GTA 5. When I restart GTA 5 in this state, I never see another person ever. On the other hand if I unlock a session, do some stuff with people, clear the session, lock it, then find a new session, there seems to be some chance for a few sessions/hours thereafter somebody will join. But after a while it's back to total immunity from ever seeing anyone until I unlock. It's made selling extremely tranquil.

Hey dude, let the man play his multiplayer game as a singleplayer game for some unfathomable reason! He gains enjoyment from it somehow! Nevermind that he could achieve basically the same thing in a modded singleplayer game, he's not interested in such fallacies, just let him do his thing!

I get more enjoyment from playing solo than I do from , for example, getting orbed by the only other player in the session while I'm just doing a resupply mission for my bunker. Which actually happened.

There's a lot of fathomable reasons. Such as not getting blown up by hackers during sell missions, having hackers do other terrible poo poo that wrecks your game, not getting killed by griefers during sell missions. Additionally, Rockstar has kept a great deal of content locked to multiplayer, though I haven't investigated mods that try to bring it to singleplayer anyways because part of the point is to make money in Online where I can interact with others.. and I do, just not when trying to seriously make money. The GTA community has been pointing out Rockstar's errors in incentivizing solo money making for a couple years now, they're right, but I don't really mind as I see it as an extension of the singleplayer.

No, they do the same job. You need to own a facility to own an Avenger though.

I always play this game for about 3 weeks every 6 months with a couple friends and the first 2 is remembering what we have and can do.

I have a bunker and the MOC, so I won't buy the Avenger. I have almost no missions unlocked in the MOC. Are they unlocked from selling supplies you research in the bunker? I'm bad at the game and we never do anything but missions, heists and CEO stuff so I'm rarely in a public session

Fart.Bleed.Repeat.
Sep 29, 2001

The MOC and the Avenger are pretty fair trade offs, they both do the same thing as stated above- weapons workshop being the main draw for either of them. I don't think any of the weaponized vehicles can ONLY be upgraded in one or the other, so there's no advantage there or need for both. Its been a while but IIRC after you steal or buy x number of supplies, it unlocks a new mission or two, every 4 or 8 supply runs opens the next tier. And then after so many missions, thats what gets you the trade price on vehicles?




Holy crap the Volatol is a big plane. When it first spawned it was in the middle of a 'fly under the bridges' challenge, and I had to keep skimming the belly on the water as I went under stuff so it didn't count, or the supports were too narrow to make it through. Seems fun though, I was following a pubbie doing IE, intentionally staying just far enough behind that as I dropped each volley of bombs I could almost hear his sphincter puckering

I've discovered it's possible to deliver all 4 bikes simultaneously solo if you get the Cocaine sell mission with a secondary dropoff. I recorded the ending: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QsR0Gq6g65w My full explanation is bottom of page 41, Cocaine sell option 3. I did need to take a Bagger to the initial location, lose the cops then go back to the lockup. Suffice to say it's too much work for the average player, but it is neat. I'm up to 6 successes in a row with the mule method.

In other news I've got $25m and basically all the vehicles and properties I need, transitioning now to pure passive income, what's left is to run through doomsday heists. I'll need a crew but given activity levels here I'll probably have to look for partners in a more active community.

Ran into a bug I can't find anything out about resolving. I can't mod cars anymore. When I go to the mod shops, the garage opens up, and I can drive right on in, but not load the actual shop. I can just do burnouts inside the garage, watch other people pop in and change their cars, but not do anything myself. Any ideas?

Is this happening even over multiple sessions? As in fully exiting the game and then going back in. There are some hack/mods that can persist across lobbys. You may want to exit and reboot, then check in Steam to verify game files. If it goes beyond that or youre on PS/Xbone then probably want to open a support ticket

Do you have a CEO office with garage that you are able to make car changes in, or one of the super vehicles(MOC or Avenger) that you can use on appropriate vehicles?

The weaponized Tampa is great for doing missions solo. It doesn't have as much armor or damage resistance like the kuruma or insurgent, but it's got a mounted machine gun that only the driver can control.
