I promised myself to only get the Vagner for a Super.. it's getting harder to keep that promise.
 
The Torero should have been called the Infernus Classic in the first place.

Vice City anyone?


Personally, I'd just alternate between CEO jobs, and selling high-end cars until you make your way towards the millions. If you have a biker business, I would have that running in the background. Do not purchase the Paleto Bay bunker for obvious reasons.
I want to save as much of money as possible right now. How much does an average top end vehicle makes?

I'm currently trying to do the first Special Vehicle mission but the two players with me sucks. They ether die or destroy their ramp vehicle. One time I almost reached the location only to get a fail message because someone accidentally dropped their buggy in the water. :grumpy:

Also why's everyone buying the bunker in the Paleto Bay between all the locations?

GTA mystery story stuff. Worth a look but nothing substantial. New models found in the game after the gun running update.

Interesting find.

Looks epic!

Couple days ago I logged into GTA Online and suddenly got some money for no reason.

I didn't get mine right away it's probably random (before July 4). Also the best way is Pacific Standard Heist with the biker/military business on the side.
Does anybody plays Heist anymore? I barely get any notifications about it.

Also has anyone else noticed how the Cheval Fugitive is like how a real Impala should be? It has a roaring V8 and it's RWD. Would be cool to have a real super muscle sedan based on the VF Commodore HSV GTS R in the game. Perhaps it could just be a souped up Fugitive. I think it deserves more love even though it's a bit on the slower side. Maybe even a ute version.
I always thought that the Fugitive was based on the Commodore/Lumina rather than the Impala. I would definitely like to have a modern ute in the game.

You know what I really like about GTA games? The fact is that you don't need to play past games in the series to understand the story or anything like that. Sure some characters do appear in older games and gives some background on that said character but at most, it's minor.

You know what I really hate about GTA right now? Online and T2 & R* stupid decision. Unless you play GTA Online with your friends or family, I don't find it that much of fun.
 
Damn. The XA-21 looks fast while standing still. Let's hope it actually is, but not class-breaking either.
 
Honestly the best thing I've found to make money is play Pacific Standard on hard with snacks and extra armor and run and replenish while shooting with the RPG. Then you can just drive the armored vehicle with your team. That's the fastest way to make cash because unfortunately the businesses takes forever to make product from supplies which makes no sense. I think if yoi're going to invest millions of dollars and a lot of time to stealing supplies, there should be a bigger payout or at least creation of the supplies faster. Plus I bought upgrades to speed up production which costed 300k.
 
Some more quick notes on these cars.

While the new super cars are pretty competitive, the sports classics are as well up par with the Stirling. I might've overly praised the Cheetah Classic, it's just it drove so well and responded so nicely, I overlooked it's less than stellar acceleration at higher speeds. We're probably not looking at a new class leader unless it's the Vagner, which might do so.

And I took the whole of me afternoon to make some nice little GIFs. On topic on the Cheetah Classic..

There are about 4 options where the car can have a traction boost without having a spoiler behind. Anyone feeling like Crockett now?
 
Not even kidding, the first time I'm doing business stuff worth not-a-whole-lot-anyway and someone wearing a white suit comes after me in either a black Stinger or a white Cheetah Classic, I'll give it up without fighting, just because I approve of the reference.

Fortunately, randoms only own a Kuruma and whichever is the fastest Super class car, is too obsessed with dressing themselves in a matter that makes me question their humanity, GTP has the non-attack policy and I mostly play in low-MTU semi-private lobbies anyway.

Is it possible to play Gunrunning alone?
 
My point is, many of these less trivial questions are easily answered by applying some simple logic to it. Basically everything since the Freemode Update has been a Freemode thing, so what are the odds the majority of this wouldn't be and whether or not that means you play it alone?

Also, technically, with the exception of the Clubhouse Contracts that actually require multiple players, everything from the Bikers update are "solo missions".

Make sure you collect all the low-end and mid-range vehicles first, but do not sell them. This will force the game to give you high-end cars, which should get you $80,000 a pop with no damage. You can sell one every 20 minutes, so I would just collect another car and do a CEO job in the mean time.

The Paleto Bay bunker is the cheapest bunker, but it's also the farthest. I would recommend buying a bunker in Chumash since it's the closest in the city, and relatively cheaper than most of your other options.

The only cars I sold so far are some high end cars. I also noticed cars thats called "top end", not sure what it means

Alright, thanks for the advice. :)

There are contracts that can be done solo, but the majority is for multiple players. At least "Torched" can be done solo if I remember correctly.
 
A lot of MC missions are soloable, and they would tell you if they are co-op only.

But it really benefits a lot when you have more players. Some of the easier and more enjoyable missions are the multiplayer ones. I had 8 dudes doing that escort mission, and you don't want to be the poor Hydra flying in to 3 of them above your target.
 
Re: Paleto Bay bunker

To be honest, I quite like having it. You get 30 minutes for resupply missions and the like, which is plenty of time. Makes things a bit more interesting instead of driving down the road and back.

Paleto and The Ratty Canyon are the two most scenic locations, IMO. I have now completed the number of steal supplies missions to unlock everything if I desired, so being that I will likely never run for supplies there again I may move farther north. It also spreads out my 'places I can leave my character idling and not timeout' a bit.
 
I wish the MOC was more of a huge RV style vehicle than the Semi Truck.
It would be great to enter the cab without exiting the trailer.
I'm totally fine with it beeing a truck and trailer. What I don't like is that even if you leave the trailer through the door in the front, you'll still spawn behind the trailer. It's a looong way to run to the truck when you have half of LSPD surrounding you with a 5-star wantedlevel.

There should be a hatch on the roof of the trailer and the roof of the cab for quick switching :lol:
 
I'm guessing I wont get money off if I where change my bunker location like I would if i exchange an apartment/garage?

If I buy a new one I just completely lose everything I've spent on my current bunker?
 
So I guess the helicopter glitch for Pacific Standard was patched because this guy on my team insisted we do that instead of the traditional way which isn't that hard. What a waste of time :/.
