My character's male so I don't have any of those, but I do a lot of the Special Cargo raids in a full suit and expensive shoes.

I wasted a lot of early money on clothes.

My character looks like a rave-fitness enthusiast from the 80's. Pink tank top, tropical themed short running shorts and flip flops.

The other day, a kid called me a human being and proceeded to kill me over and over(based on how I was dressed in game). I reg'ed as a CEO, spawned my buzzard and spent the next half hour chasing and killing him. it was great fun after he took out my buzzard, and I was able to spawn the Pegasus variant and not miss a beat.

Just logging in gets you $250k. Rebate part sounds like whatever you buy between the 16th(today) and 26th, after the week you'll get 10% of that total back, upto a million. So buy 10million worth of Faggios and get $1million cash back. Not sure if it applies to just vehicles and clothes, or if it includes things like property, ammo, cannon shots, hookers, cans of Sprunk, etc

I bought the cheapest hangar, and the workshop since it was on sale. You need the workshop if you want to mod the planes. I bought a Rouge and fully upgraded it. Now, I launch it and wreck folks when they won't leave me alone. The workshop also allows you to paint your existing personal aircraft, so you can finally have that hot pink Hydra you've always wanted : )

I've been playing GTA online via my scrappy little xbone. I don't ever see hackers AFIK, and I'm able to use the nat check trick to drop into a solo lobby when I need to make money. I also set a goal to grind for a yacht and ended up buying the middle one because everyone said it had better stuff and was easier to get around on.


my son makes fun of me for grinding money in such a lovely game, but I'm too relaxed and happy really care. Just hauling I/E cars via cargobob and doing gunrunning.

There really need a way to get out more than 1 at a time, especially with CEO and MC stuff, so your poor henchmen can roll out in style if the boss is loaded. Does Director Mode get around this at all, or is that still one at a time

If you have the hangar, and are a ceo with a buzzard can you spawn three at once if you do it right? One from personal, one from Pegasus and one from the ceo vehicles?

I've been reading that going afk for too long is resulting in raids on the night club warehouse. I don't know if that's with the person being retired from mc and ceo.

Some people may have a problem with the statement, but they apparently have a problem with something being gay and not being okay. It is totally okay for something to be gay, tale of us is just slightly less gay than the solomun set. Now clap yer hands, you dork.

Confirming the nightclub accrual is glitchy. After my first sale, cocaine no longer stocks there, even after more than 20 hours in-game. I'm going to stop and start the coke lockup after I sell its current inventory to see if that helps.

This has happened to me twice. The first time, it didn't go away until I stopped and re started the coke business, and also upgraded the warehouse at the NC. Now, it stopped again so I'll have to see tonight if the restart fixed it.

If you max out all of your nightclub businesses, you can make about 900k every day without even trying. Just leave gta open, retire from ceo and any other businesses and watch tv in your ceo office or appartment. Log back in, setup a sell mission in an empty lobby, lather rinse repeat.

If that were the case, would they go after the players who afk grind the nightclub? It's not a glitch, but def an exploit outside of intended game play.

There's a trick to it, but you max out your nightclub warehouse space and start five mc businesses. Then, you retire and go into a mission and watch TV to avoid accruing fees while afk.

I usually get around 850k every day with only one easy sell mission. Also, the terrorbyte missions are good to mix in with vip work for grinding without cool down. Plus, they pay 60k per mission this week until Thurs.

In prep for the casino update, I was doing the AFK nightclub thing plus a single sell/resupply for the bunker to net me a little over a million/day without grinding(more with this week's bonuses). I loving hate those bunker sell missions, though. If you get the insurgent one it just suuucks so much.

Also, I maxed out both of my nightclub sell vehicles on armor and run flats. The proxy mine add on also makes short work of the NPC's, but with the nightclub missions they're pretty tame anyways.

That's the lamest thing about all of the source and sell missions. On one hand, it's considered a dick move to mess with them, but the game gives everyone in the lobby a message that says, "So and so is doing something valuable. Go gently caress them up."
