I may have driven over my own proximity mine several seconds later but that's okay because I had a snazzy hat.

FIFY

Is this some terribly hip thing that you yanks are bandwagoning?

 

[SomePlayaDude]

Spoiler: (GIF) I gave the Phantom Wedge a lot of *BLEEP*, but..

I can say it gives the best VIP job.

It's hard to lose, and pays better than Sightseer. Shame on the 30 minute cooldown though.

Is this some amazingly popular thing Americans do, because Americans are fully original?

Can someone help me with daily objectives? I just need you to join a vehicle deathmatch and you can leave after the match starts.

Textbook example of a past gen modded account douchebag that sucks at the game and cries because their modded account is useless on the 4. They're still every bit as irritating on the 3 as they were before the 4 had GTA servers.

Since I have to get prepared to do the overnight shift at my job now, I'll be staying up till 4:00 or 5:00 AM EST. At some point tonight, I'll be doing a several-hour long grind session. I hear that I/E is more profitable than constantly playing Trash Talk. If any of you are still up and can make it to my session, feel free to join, but the MTU 800 thing for solo public sessions might make joining difficult.

You're not hearing anything wrong: I/E is more profitable than doing any Contact Mission (not just Trash Talk), from my experience. I would suggest filling up your garage with the 32 different importable cars, then just importing and exporting the T20, Osiris, and X80 Proto repeatedly. Those three cars are from the same collection, and they're all Top Range vehicles. Combine that with Sightseer after every export and you can make almost $300K/hour. (EDIT: Forgot that you can make money faster, the more people do this with you - but the more cars you export at one time, the longer you have to wait between exports. Also, if you have the "D3V1L" T20, "SL33K" Osiris, and "M4K3B4NK" X80 Proto, you could hire two of us to help you out with exporting that collection, and make some cash for all of us.)

Also, if you're willing to do the time/date trick instead (which empties your lobby without having to lower your MTU), I'm sure someone on here can fill you in it, since I've never done it before.

Thank you. I always forget about Sightseer. What is the mission like and what are the requirements (player count, etc)?

 

[Sage Ages]

It's slightly quicker to sell for cars in a group than selling them individually, but it won't make a big difference unless you keep doing this for a few hours.

"Here's a dot. Go to the dot."

 

[MMX]

Headhunter is much less mind numbing, and pays just as good as Sightseer. Done with a Buzzard, of course.

 

[SomePlayaDude]

And always do Headhunter in the city.

When I mean city, I mean be next to the skyscrapers.

 

[ProjectWHaT]

Is there any way to choose to do it in the city or in the desert?

 

[Sage Ages]

Go to the city or the desert.

 

[leeislee]

The desert headhunter is much more spread out and often include a long trip around or over the mountain. In the city it's quicker especially when you learn the patterns and hiding places of the targets

Are you able to use a Hydra or Buzzard?

 

[ProjectWHaT]

Go to the city or the desert.

Sometimes when I'm in the middle of the city, I still get it in the desert.

 

[SomePlayaDude]

It's never the case for Headhunter.

But when you're in that area just barely outside the city (the highway, Richman hills, the Vinewood Sign, the dam) the game will consider you to do Headhunter.. in the desert.. you can remember your name, cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain.

 

[Nick Skyline]

Would you rather use a Hydra or Buzzard?

Fixed it for you, seeing as neither one is off limits for Headhunter.

 

[Dan]

Ehh, forget it. That session isn't happening. I would probably just crash into everything and get annoyed quickly.

 

[GT5Power]

8 aircraft were on my yacht simultaneously today. An Annihilator, a Maverick, two Buzzards, two Cargobobs, a Swift Deluxe and a Hydra. I don't know how I managed this, but my life is complete now.

 

[Sage Ages]

I can never understand how try-hard players spend hundreds of thousands of dollards on armor, bull-shark, body armor, and Pegasus/CEO vehicles in public lobbies and somehow don't go broke.

Shark cards or grinding money.

 

[leeislee]

Even though It has its uses but the amount of people who almost live in ghost organisation mode is getting ridiculous. They are always the ones who when they crash their jet they immediately retire from CEO and go passive, drive to their Hydra and go CEO/ghost all over again.

There are better things to spend money on than just paying 12 grand for the ghost all the time and then all those car insurance payouts.

 

[Sage Ages]

Most of the time when I see someone go passive or off the radar, I'll make a rush for the helipad and start camping. If they called in a jet and started heading there, you should be able to blow it up once it spawns.

 

[STI9]

I would imagine those people glitched profusely to get themselves ~$100M. Can't see them researching griefing methods and not money glitches.
