Is anyone doing VIP work in a closed session with an open bodyguard spot?


Edit: I'm registering as a VIP in an open session, so if anyone wants to be a bodyguard, join me.

I just saw a mugger climb into a helicopter that was already about 40 feet in the air, pull the guy out of the side, throw him on the ground and then land on his feet perfectly. It's one of the best things I've ever seen in my playing of GTAV.

The number one where you find the numbers before it resets .

Is this the same one that shows up in contact missions?

Yeah

 

[TexRex]

If you don't find it in 5 seconds, spam X so it resets. It's easy to find in the very beginning but then it gets hard

I think that's the case with all of the number jumbles, but obviously the more difficult the mission, the more difficult the jumble. I have a finicky X button, so the cascading password hacks are a special kind of Hell for me.

This appears to be the place to ask, so is there anyone available for daily objective help? Need to do a capture, and those basically always require help as I can't either find the correct type via quick job, or no one ever joins if I start one.

So, did some VIP work for the first time today. The first goaround was a bit...chaotic...to say the least, but thsn my jaw nearly hit the floor once we completed the first VIP work job. Aftr racking up quite a lumpsome of cash, I bailed, since I can't stand fighting randoms in public lobbies, so I went back to an invite only session only to find out that you can become a VIP with nobody else in a lobby.

So then I was like, 💡, and came up with an extremely good way to earn money:

-Run Sightseer as often as possible - $45,000
-On the cooldown, play Trash Talk - $11,475
-Grab a modified Sentinel XS when the time comes - $15,000 - 17,000

Normally, I'd just play trash talk and grab Sentinels and play Trash Talk to earn money, a d I'd earn roughly $100,000 a day, but with the method I did in the private lobby, I earned $200,000 in the blink of an eye!

I'm absolutly rolling in it right now!

Did my 4 hour run as VIP, made almost a mil!!! Plus I added a V12 LWB to my garage. Here's what I did.

Sightseer, and Hostile Takeover (At LSIA or Altruist, whichever was closest). Sell an XS, and add a few more for later. Did Cleaning the Cat House or Flood in LS River if there was cool down time in between VIP jobs.

 

[SomePlayaDude]

V12 LWB

 

[Dan]

I'm going to need to do more bodyguard stuff. Blew several hundred grand on an Armored Kuruma with modifications.

 

[SomePlayaDude]

At the rate that I'm getting new cars, R* KNOWS we need a 6th garage.

^Is that 2044 North Conker?

 

[gnomefromnome]

^Is that 2044 North Conker?

Yes....yes it is.

Be that as it may...I try to diversify the cars between my primary and secondary characters. I already have a V12 Shafter so another one is kind of mute. Sure there are cars that are mutual between accounts but they must be exceptional, such as the Dubsta 6x6 and armored Kuruma.

 

[Sting]

Thanks to @Dennisch @STI9 and whoever the other random guy was for letting me, a simple noob, be involved in their VIP work last night. Never did I realize how damn profitable that stuff was!

So yeah, if anyone needs a bodyguard, hit me up. I can get used to this whole making a million $$$ a night thing. lol

 

[SomePlayaDude]

So, the public room had a small laugh when they saw my new VIP name (which will be part of an organization name rotation):

There was a lot of laughter after in chat..

 

[STI9]

Last night my organisation was called Somali Pirates. No yacht though so no piracy prevention.

 

[SomePlayaDude]

I remember something! Just now, I had my brother play some VIP jobs with me and 2 randoms.

So, they had their own names. Brother's got "Pinhead Larry", while the other 2 end up being "Smitty Werben Jaeger Manjensen" and "Alaskan Bull Worm"

 

[GT5Power]

I just had my most intense Piracy Prevention match yet

Five different players had their eyes on my ship, plus two jets constantly doing flybys. And of course, I was soloing it. It got nail-bitingly close at the end; three players had boarded the yacht when the timer ran out I got a lot of kills, maybe 15 or so.

 

[Dennisch]

This double money making scheme only runs until the 11th. After that it back to normal.

I just hope that Rockstar does stuff like this more often.

 

[AudiMan2011]

Back over a million dollars doing VIP stuff last night with @xXKingJoshXx and @Katiegan.

Also apologies to @Dennisch and @STI9 for coming after you since you lot were VIPs and I wasn't.

 

[Dennisch]

Also apologies to @Dennisch and @STI9 for coming after you since you lot were VIPs and I wasn't.

I really don't mind, as long as the intentions are clear. Sneaking up as a crewmember and just hanging around is fine, but then trying to kill me in the last 30 seconds of executive search gets you killed.

 

[STI9]

Yeah, I bricked it when I ran round a corner and @Katiegan was waiting. I think we both caught eachother of guard as she was off the radar. Fortunately my cat like reflexes and Assault Shotgun prevailed (but mostly dumb luck)

My Pisces has a Homing Launcher and Proximity Mine spawn in the bedroom, wasn't in the brochure.

 

[GT5Power]

These VIP bonuses are so amazing. I was at 1.1m, upgraded my yacht's lighting to Vivacious Gold for 540k and now I'm closing in on the previous amount again, all today. Awesomeness.

 

[STI9]

Do you need another bodyguard @GT5Power ?

 

[SomePlayaDude]

I think I appreciate the mass disconnect...

.. mainly because I just started a round of Executive Search/Piracy Prevention while I'm at it.

 

[GT5Power]

Do you need another bodyguard @GT5Power ?

Nah, I got off when I posted that. Thanks for the offer though.

Oh, just remembered to retire

 

[STI9]

Oh, just remembered to retire

Yep, I have made that mistake already today. Had like 30 mins left last night and switched my console off without thinking - come on today with half an hour of VIP left, looks like I won't be a VIP today.

 

[TexRex]

Can the carrier be reached when not taking part in Humane Labs - EMP?
