Me three! :pac:


I'm not even too concerned about the money, I just want the penthouse suite when the DLC is released. Don't know how much it would cost if I didn't do it so I figured "why take the risk?!" :pac:

Still living off the aul lotto win that blackgator got for me. Went to ponsonbys and bought everything. Just bought the nightclub last night

The Nightclub is a great money earner if you own a bunker, a hanger/cargo warehouse, and the three main businesses.


You can literally just afk in a job by watching TV in your apartment/office and the NC will "accrue" stock! It is quite slow though.

Exactly. I only want the penthouse! I’ll probably use the money to buy a night club + terrorbyte but don’t really mind anyway as I’ve enough without the bonus money :pac:

Logged in there and got my mil and a half. Tempting to buy a night club but wanna see what the casino update brings first.

You know what I miss doing in the game?
Back on the PS3, a group of us would be in a lobby and we would go back to someones house and stick on the news on a random player then call a mugger on them or mercenaries. Sometimes we would do it to Kesh or Proco, it was so funny to watch it happen.

Man those were great times, I miss you guys!

With this big update it's a pity we can't sell our old houses to make money... I have houses and apartments everywhere..

Rossi IRL

Been away from GTA for quite a while (left when updates started going too expensive)

Might try it out again, have twitch prime sorted and have 2 mil to bet on the virtual horses.

Like above, I would also like to sell old houses.

I am doing the prison break heist at the moment but the leader is an asshole, can't stand him and don't think I can put up with him for 4 more heists. I don't want to go back to the beginning with my own setup as the leader.
If I was to do the prison break heist onwards with another team or leader and do all other heists with them from that point in order would I still be eligible for the award?

Ok, I now know the answer to this question as I decided to go back to the beginning, with someone else as leader on the Fleeca job but me as leader from Prison Break onwards.

-It doesn't matter who is the leader/host/whose set up just as long as you do it in order. The game will actually warn you beforehand whether it will reset upon starting a heist and give you the option to back out.
-The Bogdan heist does not void this award seeing as it's not part of those series of awards.

If you want to rank up as fast as possible buy a CEO office. They buy two warehouses and do the crates to fill it up.

The fastest way is to own a terrobyte. Park it outside one of the warehouses and use it to start the crate resupplies instead of going back to your warehouse. The only problem is to get the terrobyte you need to own the nightclub. And the most efficient way to collect crates is owning the oppressor which you need the terrobyte.

So you need:
CEO office
Two large warehouses
Nightclub
Terrobyte
Oppressor

They will all cost a fortune but worth setting them as goals to buy.

So I got the Terrobyte but struggling to see how it's worth it so far... maybe I'm using it incorrectly but other than placing it at one of my warehouses so that I don't have to drive to my office as often to start the crate missions (and even then you still need to run back to it or the office when I end up at the warehouse that doesn't have it) it only seems good for making upgrades to the oppressor (which I don't have).

The is a diamond program with the casino update. Get silver status by buying the master penthouse (free with twitch prime), and then completing missions gets you increase to status unlocking rewards.

It does mention that if the penthouse isn't showing as free, you can buy it and you'll be rebated the amount within 48 hours. The penthouse will only be free to active prime members. My trial is up Thursday so hope the penthouse unlocks before then!

Go to custom network settings and change MTU to 850 if on ps4. Gets you in a solo lobby where no one else can join. I do it all the time when doing ceo crates. finally got an MK2 oppressor yesterday ha

Yep, did this yesterday with no problems. The only obstacle now is that some of the high risk crates are almost impossible if you don't have a chopper.

It's also good for running Client Jobs which are an easy 30k (60k when they're paying double)

It definitely makes things so much easier though when you're filling up 3 large warehouses or more on a long crate grind. Plonk the Terrorbyte in the middle of three of Warehouses and it takes seconds to go from each warehouse to the Terrorbyte to launch a new crate source mission.



Also, you should do 5 client jobs before you buy the Oppressor as you save about a million on it with the trade price. You don't even need to do 5 unique client jobs. For example, 2 of one and 3 of another will do as well, so just pick the easiest ones.

My office is actually situated between two large warehouses (I made sure to choose the large warehouses that were closest to my office) so again still don't think the terrobyte is useful for this. It would only be useful if you could somehow own two and then park them at both warehouses.

Never done the client jobs, too focused on crates. Is it an instant 30k (60k) or is it some type of investment like the crates?

I have five large warehouses. Three of them (Walker and Sons, Wholesale Furniture, and Cypress Flats) are all in a neat small triangle down near the south east of the map. With the Terrorbyte right in the middle of that, it saves me so much travel time compared to if I were to travel back to the office.


That, plus you don't have to deal with the cut scenes and character animations that come with the office. Trust me, on a long crate grind, even watching your character slowly pull out the office chair and sit down will start to bug you. :pac: :pac:


I presume the two Large Warehouses that you have are Darnell and Logistics? They're my other two as well.

Instant, although to do Diamond Shopping and Targeted Data you need to buy the drone station in Warstock (by going into "renovate Terrorbyte". Ironically though, these jobs are actually much easier to complete without the drones! :pac:


It takes me literally less than two minutes to complete Diamond Shopping using the Oppressor.

The Phantom Pain

Ah, I've decided that the crates thing isn't for me and I'll be best off just making money from heists. Too much grind and investment for too little reward so think I'm just going to sell what it's in my warehouse and leave it there.

Question: it says I need an associate to to deliver the goods to sell them but do I really if I'm solo in a public lobby?

Thanks, did 2 already but even then there's a cooldown for them. :rolleyes:
Rockstar really doesn't want anybody getting anything without purchasing shark cards. I've decided I'm not going to get the oppressor. The amount of money needed for it really isn't worth it. I've wasted so much money on the business and warehouses and other essential items needed for these crate runs that in the end the investment is larger than the reward. The only thing I'm glad i got is the nightclub/ terrobyte for Paige's missions.

Max Mafioso

Ah you kids dont have it as easy as us elders, back in my days, if we wanted to make our millions, we have to have a friend carrying our most expensive car with the cargobob while I went in and out of my garage, duping it and then selling it on.
Things were easy back then, you would hit the $100 Million mark so quickly, if only it were that easy again

Zero-Cool

The penthouse is now live to claim as a reward.

bennyx_o

Another $1.25m also? Nice, will help replenish some funds. Haven't played in ages and have slowly built back up to $2m or so having bought nightclub, bunker and terrobyte.

Hoping for some decent 2x cash this week to help

You guys got any idea what time the update will go live on PS4?

Zero-Cool

Logged in before work this morning just to see if the casino was open. No notifications, checked the map and saw an oppressor, tank and 2 jets hovering around the casino. Passive Mode it will be then.

I'm so glad that I left my PS4 in rest mode. If I'm lucky, it'll be downloaded when I get home at about 8pm tonight. :pac:
