I’m usually not a fan of this guy but...




TL;DR: You should be safe on the bottom floor of parking garages, in interiors, or being a good distance underwater.

He hasn’t mentioned the subway tunnels, but I think they should be far enough underground to work.

Welp... Something happened insaid never would... I got a ps4. Therefore i did something else i said i never would... bought GTA5 for the ps4... rdr2 is just to far away.

I got a notification a couple days ago that said my money was adjusted by about half a million. At first I thought they took some of my hacked money away, but I later realized it was for the Hermes, but I didn't even buy a Hermes, so I'll just quietly keep the extra money.

 

[leeislee]

I'll happily be killed by the orbital canon if it means I've annoyed someone enough to use up their free shot or even spend all that money on me. It's a compliment.

Infact, it should be renamed either the Grief-o-tron, Revenge Beam or the Rage Lazer.

Here it is how to be safe from said orbital strike, if you don't feel like giving those YT whores more views:

-Be in passive mode(including passive mode from Time Trials);
-Be inside any interior that is not loaded with the map and "warps" you to somewhere(safe houses, hangars, bunkers, etc...);
-Be moving really fast and hope the Internet connection is lagging(I tried to strike someone in a Lazer once with auto targeting but the strike missed it by a couple of inches).

You can be safe from orbital strikes if you are anywhere under a roof if said orbital strike is manually targeted, in the case of auto-aimed strike, if it locks on you before you get in cover, it will hit and kill you.

Is there a message coming up when somebody uses it on me?

I think you just get killed and get the message that someone obliterated you with the orbital canon. I'm not sure if there is a pre-warning.

I had a friend who was obliterated during a gunrunning sale. There is no warning or any indication whatsoever. Just a huge explosion followed by the standard 'death' sound and 'OBLITERATED' on the screen.

 

[Nuschel01]

So its just like all the other times someone blows you up without you expecting it. Whats the fun in simply shooting a missile from 2km away?

Also what‘s really annoying me is that when you defend yourself of a griefer and blow up his deluxo/opressor you get to pay 20k and he pays either 0 or 1k for blowing up my Buzzard.

Regarding the car warehouse stuff, I found out that at 39 cars stored if you sell one that you only have one time it still gives you a random and not the one that is missing

Rage Laser. I like it.

@superstreet556 and I were able to experience the Death Star about 20 minutes into my first time online the day it was released. It's not even entertaining, as previously described.

The discharge occurs at approximately 1'45

You’re seriously underestimating how large the kill radius is.

My brother in law has just got on GTA. Can anyone share any good jobs, activities or anything else that I can help him with to earn plenty of money?

So far I've been hiring him to my CEO stuff and doing headhunter and piracy prevention etc.

Any help would be welcome.

 

[rallymorten]

If I *have* to, aside from what you're already doing - which is about as good as it gets until he gets some of the stuff I get in trouble over every time I mention it - I'd say a combination of Denial of Service and Blow Up II works.. alright, for new players.

- The pay is.. alright
- Neither of them take a lot of effort/time/skill
- From what I remember, the Sticky Bombs you're given in Denial don't disappear between missions

You can probably see where I'm going with that last point. Particularly good if you do the "drop weapon" thing, pick up a new stack of Stickies and then pick the ones you just dropped up.

If you've got either an Oppressor or Deluxo + missiles (as I'm fairly certain you can't actually use your Personal Aircraft in contact missions) you can spice it up with a bit of Extradition every now and then. How I remember the days where one had to either fling themselves over the fence and get in a Lazer or waste actual ammo on that plane. Unless, of course, it'd crashed into the AC tower, which happened about 80% of the time.

(for anyone reading this post-edit: see what I mean?)

As usual, the latest Adversary mode is, that gives 2x$$$ and RP. And there’s also lots of players that plays the “RPG vs Insurgent”, “cars vs runners” and other LTS’s. Those are a pretty good source of income, while being fun at the same time.
Or, just join the new heists through the phone. Or the old ones. I think I made $750k in a couple of hours last night, just by joining heists through my phone

Yeah I think heists would be good but he is one of those low level players who dies at the drop of a hat haha. It's worth a try tho.

You could try MC/CEO work to level up to 100ish then do heists. Could also look on se7ensins for cheats I guess.

Thanks. Will stick to the heists and grinding I think.

 

[Nuschel01]

I just found out that doing the CEO Haulage is a quick way of getting money if you use the truck that tows the MOC since it‘s really quick. When you‘re near one of the trailer spawns it‘ll take roughly 5-8 minutes to make ~20k and noone really tries to get in your way like when doing headhunter.

I‘ve also rencently done some heists with „noobs“ and surprisingly they rarely failed, so just give it a try. I‘d be happy to help and give away some of my split, too.

The new adversary mode also pays decently with the 2x-bonus, it‘s terrible but by just hiding somewhere and relying on my team it paid me 50k and a lot of RP.

I've never taken the bait because of what they say about things that are too good to be true, so just what are these? Is it as simple as clickable clickbait (autocorrect) because they want people to play their scenario or is it actually wise to avoid them?

Most of the ones I'm aware of are basically spwan traps. If you can break out of the traps they are good, but if not, enjoy dying for the duration set by the host.

 

[rallymorten]

I tried one of them once.

That one was essentially an elaborate death trap, with all but one player standing in what's basically an arena with nothing but fists at your disposal and what looks to be result of the creator vomiting props for no apparent reason while the final player fires rockets/minigun bullets at you.

So yes, if you value your sanity higher than what you could otherwise easily gain many times over in a few minutes of *censored for reasons of getting nothing but problems by mentioning it*, do stay away from them. It's not worth the risk.

Speaking of things being "not worth the risk", did you know the helicopter that may come after you if you're doing.. a certain something.. let's say it involves an Office, dollar bills, flying and isn't Smugglers Run.. is a Valkyrie that hates you almost as much as R* does, to the point where it basically Hunter-barrages the cannon every three seconds?

I do. Now.

From my experience, they are mostly parkour maps where about 80% of the time it’s a map that the person who invited you has created.

You go along a tricky route and if successful, you get access to an assortment of weapons and weaponised vehicles to then prevent anyone else from completing the course.

As mentioned, if it’s the host own map, he’ll have the advantage of knowing exactly to navigate or even shortcut the course, then he’ll get the weapons and just pad out his k/d ratio that bit more, doublely worse if has a friend running interference.

Best money making ways in my experience.

Rooftop Rumble or any double xp,cash events if you’re starting out.

If you have access to a Buzzard and VIP(only need 50k), headhunter and sightseer, with hostile takeover thrown in too.

If you have a vehicle warehouse, Sell Top tier car, do headhunter, source car and if done before the cool down on headhunter, do sightseer or hostile takeover then do headhunter. (pro tip: If you start another vip work just before the cool down on headhunter ends, it’ll bypass the 5 min cool down for it so it’ll be available to start immediately afterwards.)
Rinse and Repeat.

If you have a bunker on top of all that, buy one bars worth of supplies for 75k(or steal, but that eats into the money per hour unless you have multiple people helping.) that’ll equal 140k product and 210k if sold in the other part of the map, plus any bonuses for the amount of players in the lobby.

Fit that into your rountie and providing all goes smoothly, it’ll rake in the big bucks pretty consistently.
