A million bucks up so far on the rebels, save service keeps going down and slowing me up though.

What's the best thing to launder it into?

On the moon... they don't make Neo Kobe Pizza.

I'm putting it towards those Heist vehicles, like the Hydra.

Unfortunately I can't save progress and LSC isn't even letting me sell anything anymore.

Whats the requirement to make the hydra buyable?

You can't buy or sell while the save service is down.

You need to clear the Humane Labs heist to buy the Hydra. Those heists unlock a ton of those multi-million dollar toys.

Imagine how much more sad and lonely we would be if not for the hard work of lowtax. Here's $12.95 to his aid.
Tried the Hydra, Valkyrie and Savage in the Creator, compared to my Buzzard I'm not really seeing their value beyond awesome multiple players onboard with you-times.

I'd get on and try to get into Humane Labs but these freaking servers. I think I'll buy a tank instead (but where would I use that? Only cars/bikes for heists)

Sorry, guy.
I take it back, Rockstar sucks. Can't save because can't connect to Servers. I'm running into invisible cars on the road. There are cars floating like 20 feet off the ground and stuck there.

How are these idiots still this inept? They've had 2 years to understand how demand affects their servers, etc..

Well the Hydra's value is having an attack-capable jet to gently caress around with that doesn't require you to break into the army base every time you need a new one, which is probably why it's not as fast as the Lazer but hey Rockstar.

It's important to point out that it isn't the Hydra from multiplayer, it's the old vertical takeoff version of it that handles like an over-filled bag of poo poo. It's big and slow, but it has that hovering maneuverability.

The two armored Insurgents also open up after the Humane Lab heist, one with a mounted gun and one without. The one without the gun seems to handle a lot more loosely than the gunned one, and might not do off-road as well (it's either that or DukeChin is bad at driving because Mizer's and mine ruled). No word yet on how the mounted gun does in multiplayer, but I imagine it will be a bit weakened down. During the mission it one-shot kills people, but takes over a dozen or so hits to blow up a car.

The Valkyrie firepower is wonderful, but the bird itself flies like handicapped people have sex.

Put it into assets you can sell later to get money back, like super cars. You won't get cars taken away but R* will yank duped cash if you don't spend it, so just turn it liquid by buying up cars.

Oh, another note for people having trouble with the actual prison breakout mission of the prison heist:

The guard and prisoner can stop at an Ammu-nation and the prisoner can select all of his normal weapons there, instead of doing the mission with only an AP pistol. This helps immensely if you're going for the elite challenge.

Two tips for the wise:
1. Buy an AK-97 assault rifle.
2. If there's someone hanging around your neighborhood you don't know, shoot him.

I don't have an Insurgent, but apparently the unarmed one is garage-able and moddable.

It's unlocked after the third setup mission of the Humane Labs heist.

would anybody on PS4 like to heist it up at some point, specifically going for that consistent-crew completion bonus for the heists (SHUT UP LASAGNA it was charter's fault :argh: )

This has been the case for a long time even with races and missions. I do invite sessions a lot because of this. Unfortunately that seems to make it a lot harder to invite people if you are hosting.

Ideally I'm looking at you guys Oti/Duke/Mizer, since we're going through them together anyway. Once we're done with all of them let's start all over from the beginning. :getin:

Of course I'm not even going to bother trying that poo poo until I've gone through and learned every heist, which should also give enough time for the servers to stable out.

Based on the last time Rockstar tracks people by a delta value of cash the account has (Bank plus in hand) over time. Make too much cash in a short period and you get flagged as far as I know.

I dropped $100k of rebel cash on shirts today. Not a sound investment, but now I can switch from casual to business-casual at the drop of a hat!

Also got the armored first-heist car and a buzzard, slightly more tangible assets.

Voltic topless now called voltic topless again in the mechanic menu but still turns up as a regular voltic.

Also can't put my private plate on cars anymore, which is more annoying.

Laundered 2.3 million funbux into the new karumas, the big silly truck, a flare gun and all the nicest heist clothes before adding ugly neon kits to most of my existing cars just because.

If the glitch still works this weekend I'll get the rest of the heists cleared and buy more toys with more duping I guess.

Order plate color change in iFruit app and add to car. It will then be available for all others. You should see your plate name in the menu instead of private plate
