FFT posted:$50k at 500 completed contracts There was an update about this, max is $20k/day after 200 contracts. Either it got adjusted after release or it was a cruel joke.

Having already finished about 110 contracts this just means I’m closer to my goal of being super-cash positive on daily bills

The single most fun day in GTA online was a day my friends and I hung out on a hill and watched as NPC cars kept crashing into each other, then an ambulance came, then the cops came, someone slides into the cops and cops shoot them, circle repeats. We must have stood watching and throwing snowballs at each other for a good hour as cars continued to pile up.

Snow in car chase missions can have fun results. was doing one of the Franklin Lamar jobs last night and you’re in a truck being chased by low riders and they just couldn’t keep up and kept crashing

Snow really makes those "tail someone to a location" security contracts absolutely hilarious. Get a good vantage point in my buzzard and just watch and laugh.

Yeah, it seems like they didn't teach the NPCs how to drive in the snow because I keep seeing them miss turns and slide into poo poo.

On the other hand it's made the "crush the pop star using a truck" one harder because they can accelerate uphill and you can't.

Same, but at the mouth of the tunnel on the zancudo bridge, so you'd occasionally get military convoys passing through and really shaking things up.

I remember years ago doing the Humane Labs setup with the aircraft carrier in the snow at night. Absolutely zero visibility, couldn't see the water, couldn't see anything. Have to go 1st person and try to fly on instruments, which GTA planes were not designed for

Have to go 1st person and try to fly on instruments, which GTA planes were not designed for That is probably the single-most difficult feat to achieve in the OG heists - now that the snow is back you need to do all of that forced 1st person perspective and turn off your radar and hud to make it even harder. No, there isn't any trophy for doing it so the only reason you'd do it is if you're completely daft but its a unique challenge.

Just fyi, the open wheel cars seem to have very little problem in the snow. That R88 is fast as hell. I swear I can get across the map faster in it than I can in a heli a lot of times

Logged on and left the casino for the first time in many many moons, and there was a dude blasting people as they came out of the casino. I respawned, and decided to take my ol' RC tank out for a spin. Found him repeatedly and killed him and he had no clue what was going on. I miss this game sometimes.

Also the number of flying bikes who underestimate the Stromberg's missiles is basically all of them. Those things dont loving miss.

Only 4 new cars have the option to add missile jamming… I think flares will still redirect an incoming missile, but they don’t prevent lock-on. Also it’s hit or miss

I think sometimes they hit the flare while it's still kind of close and the blast radius fucks you up.

Flare drops a 2-3 missile-unlock even if the missile is en-route (the two diffent tones). Chaff drops a 10-12 second disable of initial lock-on, but not of "missile hanging out aaaaaaand comin for ya"

Eh, I'd say go for the Kosatka. Grinding Cayo with a friend can make you a million every 9-10 minutes. The money is too good to pass up.

If you could kill one of the helper NPC’s, who would it be? After doing tons of auto shop deliveries, mine would be Sessanta by a mile. Even when she’s complimenting our character on a good delivery she’s insulting. Ugh

Never done cayo perico so i dont know if it requires skill or equipment i may not have Cayo is easy enough to get boring. One or two of the setups can be difficult, the rest are time wasting fetch missions. Cayo itself is very easy if you follow one of two routes inside Rubio's compound, be stealthy, and limit yourself to only what loot is inside the compound. Ten minutes or so per run. In and out, only taking fire when you have virtually escaped. Using an exploit, the finale can be run back to back with the same primary loot. You just need one other person to play with. Trade runs back and forth, afford a yacht after 1 hr of grinding. Seriously, a good run can net 1-2 million. Again and again and again. Buy the sub, setup and run Cayo twice, grind out two more runs, then buy a maxed out Agency. Break up Cayo runs with VIP missions, assassinations, and security contracts. Max fun in maybe 4 hours of playtime. madeintaipei fucked around with this message at 22:27 on Dec 28, 2021 |

It's nice of Rockstar to actually let use weaponized vehicles and our own weapons! e: Just checked and 4.4mil over 70 security contracts. Add that again in assasination conracts plus 1.5mil from the VIP mission. A good buy, overall. madeintaipei fucked around with this message at 00:28 on Dec 29, 2021 |

When you get the 200 contracts done the safe earns money nearly as fast as the nightclub accrues goods but without delivery missions or police raids. The most passive income generators in the game are this, the nightclub safe, and the arcade. The arcade requires a huge money investment to start earning good money, and with the nightclub you have to run constant promo missions, and even then they earn less than half what the agency safe pulls in. It requires a bunch of grinding to get there but then it never drops so you can just pull in that extra $250k for doing nothing.

Pro tip: there’s no difference between buying 10’different machines and just placing 30 copies of the cheapest/free-est game. Your daily take is only dependent on spots filled, not what is there

I pretty much abandoned my xbone account for pc on the last day character transfers were allowed. I had been grinding on xbone like crazy since I thought that whatever I had when I did the transfer would be copied to the pc account. It did, so I bought the most expensive yacht on the Xbox account and retired to PC I checked my xbone account and have like 5 million somehow. So now maybe I need to wait for a kosatka sale and maybe grind some cayo afterwards if it’s really that easy… The only reason I care is because I’m assuming that  will release the new enhanced version on consoles and leave PC hanging for a while. I wonder how that’ll work out. Will all Xbox accounts work the same between non-enhanced and enhanced? Lots of questions lol

namlosh posted:The only reason I care is because I’m assuming that One of the R* bullet points for the E&E version is some sort of speed updates that take advantage of new gen(ps5 and xbx? I dont even know what the abbreviation for the newest xb is)hardware. Based on this, i think the assumption is that ps4 and ps5 won't be playing together- if top speed in car X on ps5 is 160mph, and same car on ps4 is limited to 120mph, then that can't be a good thing. Does that mean that ps4 is going to be treated like ps3 and not receive future content(like ps3 around the era of lowriders?whenever they stopped updating)? This i think will be the big mystery. People have found some database stuff that looks like youll be able to transfer characters to the E&E version, and from ps4 to ps5, but again don't really know what that means till march Same with PC. They say PC will get the E&E version but not if it will be day1, or later, or free, or paid. More mystery from R*
