"You lost the trailer"

Why yes, I did didn't I?

Say hello to the mission that always forces an Import/Export related session change, especially when moored out on Lago Zancudo.

This is the mission that exemplifies the multiplayer aspect of the Import/Export DLC, mainly due to the Buzzards chasing in the end that really wants you to have an entourage. I have a lot of bad to say for this mission, but if you're really willing to go along with this, here's the ground rules.

1. Get your own Cargobob. While the mission provided Cargobob has lots more armor, bringing your own saves up to 5-10 minutes of fighting, then losing police.
2. Don't go blasting away in a Buzzard/Savage, since your car will be next to some of the baddies.
3. If you want or have to, you can actually drop the car on the mainland, which will unlock it for driving, or if you want to deal with the aimbot Buzzards.
4. The way solo players escape with the car with little to no interaction with the enemy Buzzards: fly vertically upwards while facing towards your warehouse, then leg it when they spawn.
5. When you do get this mission in a crowded room, change session. Or if you're not in a solo public session, change anyways. It'll save you the frustration.

Not to brag much, but in this GIF, I managed to perfectly kill 6 people with 5 shots.
 
Is buying the cheapest executive office too much of a noob thing to do? I have the $1 million needed to buy the Maze West Bank office, but I was wondering if there were any drawbacks or advantages to buying one office over another.
 
Decided to buy my first real expensive GTAO car in the Grotti Turismo Classic.

Love it, great investment. Can't wait to spend an eternity to make it look somewhat like the Liberty Walk F40.

From a technical standpoint, there's no advantage in picking the cheapest or most expensive, aside from the view and maybe a better base jumping platform. :P

However, from an online perspective, A good majority of players will have the cheapest office because of there being no technical differences between offices so the area around the cheapest one can be quite crowded and hostile.

I decided to suck up the price gap and went for the Maze Bank Office, but the one next to it might tickle your interest if you decide against the cheap one although it's 1.25 million more than the cheapest one.

Your call really. ;)
 
Lombank West has the most convenient helipad/roof access, if that's a deciding factor for anyone. Maze Bank West is a deathtrap and the tower also sees a decent amount of activity. Acardius has a really cool garage entrance, but other than that, I haven't noticed anything too interesting.
 
I have Arcadius....and most of the time I don't use the helipad. Just land next to the roof entrance. It saves the run up and down the 2 flights of stairs.

The cat's out of the bag: you can now add more swag to your Insurgent Pickup.

Oh well, more time to make up the money for the XA-21 and Ardent.

I don't tend to do CEO activities in very full lobbies, but from what I've seen with regards to other purchasable locations a good majority will have the MOST expensive one, presumably as a status symbol or something. It's why Eclipse Towers is nearly always a warzone.
 
I tend to stay away from actual public lobbies, but my general advice in terms of offices would be this:
  • A healthy selection of people will have the least expensive one because it's the least expensive. Don't get that.
  • A healthy selection of people will have the most expensive one because it's the most expensive. Don't get that either.
  • Arcadius is just too close to the Maze Tower to not be threatened every time you leave the building. Wouldn't really recommend that either.
  • If I was to recommend one, it'd be Lombank. Yes, you are a little further away from, well, everything, but then again, you're further away from everything, except for the beach, the freeway and the, albeit rather limited, business opportunities on the western side of the map. Bonus points because I have yet to see someone actually own that. Granted, my sample size is rather small, but still.
 
I own the Maze Tower office. Mainly because I just wanted a pad in the tallest building.

I'll be honest, I've never had any issues with it. Speaking for myself I've never found it to be a warzone.

I tend to buy properties based on view and the areas I would like to live in if the game was real. The only place I had that I hated was Eclipse Tower when online was first open. I soon swapped it for another place as Eclipse can be a hell hole.

Unlucky for me, my Insurgent Pickup is on my second character. Not buying another Bunker for that.

Maybe I'll sell my Insurgent that I have for my main character for the Insurgent pickup

Yeah, with this new Insurgent and the Nightshark coming out and about, I see no reason to have a regular Insurgent... unless you need off-roading armor on a budget (Insurgent3 requires an MOC, which is millions in expenses)
 
One should keep in mind that the Insurgent Custom has bullet-resistant windows, at the expense of having less armor than the regular Insurgent and the Pickup. No idea if this is intentional, or someone on the vehicle team messed up.

Edit: Purchased Insurgents will come with 100% armor by default. Those acquired through other means will have no armor.

I get the feeling the Arcadius tower might be the best compromise I think. I'll start saving up towards that then.

Thanks for your feedback, guys!

Bought the Opressor, and sunk it twice already

Join the club.:P

On a different note, I believe the Insurgent Custom has serious potential if you decide to be an MC president and recruit half the lobby as it'll seat 4 in the car with the back 2 having access to the mounted gun, then there's room in the pickup bed for at least another 2 (maybe 4?) and then you have room on the sides for at least 2 (4 possibly?) more which means you could at least hold 8 and a theoretical maximum of 12 with the Insurgent Custom. :eek:

Now that could make for an near unapproachable high speed fortress if you don't go for heavy armour plating and thus the in car players can shoot as well or the mother of all kill feeds if some sneaky jet gets them blown up. :mischievous:

Now whenever or not a group of that size cooperating in such a manor is unlikely, it just shows that the Insurgent can take on more than needed if the situation calls for it. 👍

Just wait and see how many times you blow it up with your own missles

That is more apparent for me with the Tampa's rockets as they are unguided and mounted quite low down so even the slightest of uneven terrain leaves you in a fiery wreck and a 20k bill to pay. :ouch:
