    Bunkers great alright you buy supplies for 75k and end up selling them for 210k plus a bonus of 50-60k if the lobby is full.

    I got the penthouse from prime when it first released, did some casino missions but never realised you get 1 mil and an armoured car! That's def my next go to. Yeah, the arcade management console sounds ideal and sounds like an expansion of the nightclub managing all other businesses so I've spawn point at the arcade, check in on businesses and near the casino sounds like a plan.

    Will start an MC soon as well as it's cheap and i can live out my sons of anarchy fantasy :)

    Yeah, saw that alright, you have to visit the store for the 1mil for psplus going forward.

    The Casino missions need more than 2+ people and can be difficult.

    The Nightclub isn't really managing the other business, you just need to the other ones to unlock that resource in the nightclub.

    It could simply be that GTA6 is delayed/on hold until 2023/24 so GTA5 with a lick of paint will keep fans quiet (in their eyes) for a bit.

    The actors who play Michael and Franklin let slip they might be doing scenes where they give jobs to the player online. Could be them hoping for that but I've a feeling Rockstar gave big plans for the online next gen. They'll have to do something big to justify the same game across 3 gens.

    Rockstar exec was saying the next gen online update won't be a simple graphical improvement, and some people looking through the GTA code recently saw references to red dead 2 in there which was newly added.

    So might be more than just fixed 4k at 60 or something.

    The game gets it's big update every 6 months, at Christmas and during the summer.

    I finished the Island Heist, it was quite frustrating at times. After entering via the drain, I got through the compound without too much fuss. Once I got outside, it was a very different kettle of fish. I kept getting spotted from where I don't know cause I wasn't in anyone's cones and I was behind cover. After 6 or 7 retries, I just left without any other loot cause I was starting to get really cross with the bullshib. But I got enough to buy the Sparrow (+ missiles) for the Submarine, so that's all good. I'll consider going again on Thursday evening - I have a DnD game tomorrow.


  • Registered Users Posts: 12,484 ✭✭✭✭Varik


    Really depends on what was happening.

    The cones have a 3d element to them so even if in cover you can still be seen at times, and they can also hear you if running or driving or shooting without a silencer even if behind them.

    Also something to note is that if you shoot a guard the bullet keeps going, great for double headshots and bad if that bullet lands near another guard alerting them. So don't shoot someone where a second guard is behind them or along the route of the bullet.

    Hi, I only started playing GTA Online for Playstation last November/December (played it for a long time on Xbox before switching to Playstation for a change).

    If anybody is interested in doing heists or other stuff, drop me a PM :)

    Mark, I'd definitely be in for other heists, haven't done doomsday or casino yet.

    Dave, what platform you on? If PlayStation and you have Plus, log in for a free 1 mil and then another 1mil in April and every month until next gen version releases. Should get you the sub to do the latest heist which will have you plenty of money. If not anyone on here on same platform maybe invite you to it, get a nice chunk of money

    No, I'm on Xbox One. I'll just tip away at it and have a read through some of the newer guides.

    Waiting for the new discounts tomorrow, i saw i had a headshot challenge with my Revolver, did it in about 15 minutes and for 250k for it, not too shabby. I saw then the bounty emails you get, 5 targets. Finish that and you get a hatchet, kill 25 and get another 250k. Handy money since you can npc's count.

    Hopefully we get double money on something decent. Great when it's on bunker runs, vehicle or cargo exports or vip work. Can make handy money

    I was reviewing what I have in GTA - the sort answer is not a lot of common sense :D

    Some time ago, I was in a period of deep depression and I was off work for about 18 months. It seems I thought GTA would help and I bought a number of Shark Cards and as a result, I have access to the MOC and that bunker, the Avenger and *that* bunker, a Casino penthouse, the Arcade (without the bells and whistles), the nightclub and most importantly, the Oppressor 2 (but no Terrorbyte to upgrade it).

    So if anyone on PC wants to do any of those heists and/or missions, hit me up :D

    Was looking at my Motorcycle club too - I had bought the counterfeit cash operation and never set it up! So that's sorted and active in my Nightclub.


  • Registered Users Posts: 12,484 ✭✭✭✭Varik


    Knew someone recently who was thinking of buying shark card to push them over the edge along with the PS plus cash and I offered to run the cayo heist with them and give them the 85% instead. It's not a difficult heist where someone new can really mess up or get in the way. It's even more straight forward than a normal run as you've 2 people so you can get the gold in the compound and then just leave the island.

    Unless you're on big money and your time is worth far more than the sharks cards there's no real point. Just ask someone for a run on the cayo heist, 40 minutes and you're ~1.2-1.6m and a €15 shark card is good for 1.25m

    The Criminal Enterprise Starter pack might be alright at 9.99, you get 1m in game and then another 9m worth of stuff (or maybe 10m worth of stuff I don't know if they include the cash 1m). But again just ask anyone for a cayo run.

    What's the most you can get from cayo with 4 people? Also, so you have to have scoped the secondary gear to collect it or can you scope the primary and then just have a look around for secondary mid heist?

    I have my eye on the criminal enterprise pack if it goes on sale, went to 5 euro 3 times late last year.

    Gets you 1 mil cash, bunch of cars weapons and below.

    Maze Bank West Executive Office
    Paleto Forest Gunrunning Bunker
    Senora Desert Counterfeit Cash Factory
    Great Chaparral Biker Clubhouse
    1561 San Vitas Street Apartment

    The problem with it is if you already own stuff then you don't get a partial in game refund or anything.

    So if you own MC clubhouse A, and the pack comes with clubhouse B then you get nothing.

    So it's something to do at the start if at all, and if you're not at the start then it's probably not worth it anyway.

    Just on getting stuff.

    You get a free garage when you sign up on the social club, might not seem like much but if starting literally from scratch not even having a car storage is rough (cheapest 2 car garage is 25k)

    Yeah, basically only if it goes on sale before i buy either a clubhouse or bunker which is a bit unlikely. Excellent for new players though.

    Is there a to manage my cars to move them between properties without driving them one at a time?

    Is there a gun locker like in red dead where i can store weapons i don't use?

    So many of them, you can have a locker in a few of the properties and in a few of the larger vehicles.

    Then you can enable and disable it so it's not the same as red dead when you literally don't have the weapon it just hides them on the wheel.

    Also doesn't work in some missions.

    Buying a new locker does nothing for you if you've already got one, and additional lockers can reset you choice. If buying one some of them come as part of a weapon bench to mod weapons so get that one only to save money.

    Ah ok, I've seen mention of a weapon workshop as well to upgrade weapons. Don't want to buy multiple times so will wait for a main base like an Arcade maybe.

    I can't believe there isn't a system to manage all your cars to store in different properties.

    Yeah that's crazy given how long GTA online has been around


  • Registered Users Posts: 12,484 ✭✭✭✭Varik

    A load of the system were built on top of each other especially with vehicles.

    It'd used to be just normal cars and then you'd your Pegasus vehicles but then more and more got added on top.

    Now you've personal vehicles, Pegasus vehicles, special vehicles, personal aircraft, CEO/MC/SUB vehicles, and then the big ones like the sub/moc/terrobyte.

    That leads to you spawning a jet which despawns your car so you've to leg it to it, or you can spawn the buzzard 3 times as a personal aircraft, a ceo aircraft, and a pergasus aircraft.

    One of the biggest hopes for any update for this game is they doe a once over to get everything on the same page, especially for the older aircraft as you can't modify those other than changing colour.

    I've seen potential takes of over 5milllion when the primary loot is the pink diamond. You just need to scope the primary and can wing the rest when doing it but there's no harm when scoping the primary to just flick through the cameras on each room and you will know exactly where the most valuable loot is I.e. gold and paintings. No point scoping secondary loot outside the compound really, just check the spawn points during the heist.


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,642 ✭✭✭✭Jordan 199


    BTW Mark, I added you to my friends list on PSN today. I won't be on until the weekend though.


  • Registered Users Posts: 12,484 ✭✭✭✭Varik


    The potential take is all the loot on the island that was scouted, so even more than 4 players can carry.

    You don't need to scope anything to get it, even the items and when in the main heist they show up on your mini map when near unlike when doing the scope mission.


    For min maxing the hosts take if they give the min 15% to everyone else then it depends on how much gold there is. if there enough gold then 3 players is best, 3 players is better if there's enough gold for 3 players, and 4 is usually worse than solo.

    Cool so 3 or 4 would be worth a go so. I thought it would be 2 mil max so 500k even split but if we can make 700-800k each, that would be alright. 4 people would breeze through the essential prep missions as well


  • Registered Users Posts: 29,483 ✭✭✭✭Zero-Cool


    Myself, Dreadaxe and Eoin did the Perico heist tonight, came out with something like 2.3mil between us after the cuts. Each of us had full bags, good laugh and handy money.

    I went back for my second run at it, just scouted it out now and this time I managed to find the bucket of stuff that goes into water towers. I also found a treasure chest - didn't know you could pick these up whilst scoping out.

    Will try get through setup tomorrow and then hopefully take a good run at the mission Friday.

    The treasure chest aren't a normal loot that's in the heist they're there only in the scope out stage, and there's 1 on land and 1 underwater.

    The stuff you pricked up spawns in 1 of 3 places, it's one of the handier things to do in the scope out mission as it makes the guards slower to react in the heist.

    probably faster with 1 person

    How long did it take to complete the heist?

    Well it turned out Eoin had just finished so the prep so the 3 of us jumped straight into the heist, took about 40 minutes then as we were looking for gold but happened to be not much of it so settled for cash and weed.


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,642 ✭✭✭✭Jordan 199


    While I was playing a few days back, there was this fella lying on the ground outside Bahama West Mamas who had a key for something (forgot what it was for) on Cayo Perico.


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,893 ✭✭✭EoinMcLovin


    Since the heist took around 30-40 minutes to complete with 3 of us. Would it make sense for every member having the the prep work down on their own profile so then you could do 4 heists one after the other and get bigger payout in the one play session?

    That would be ideal, only question though is there a timer on when prep resets or is it stored away for whenever you like?
