I've never done them before. Do they pay well?

22500 for 5 minutes of hacking and flying and a 10 minute cooldown (Which you can solo Trash Talk in the mean time for an extra 16K)

Usually around 15-30k per job. Most of them take no longer than 10 minutes.

Where do I sign up?

You also get an extra $5000 every 15 minutes as long as the VIP does not get killed.

Gotta have 1 million in the bank, then it's on the interaction menu

Keep in mind that if you're a bodyguard, the VIP will receive 90% of the cash you get from free roam activities and selling vehicles and they can only give you a small amount of the money they receive. Make sure that you leave the organization before doing these activities.

I have joined jobs which have changed my 'aim preferences', but I can't find how/where to change to my preference. Any help?

Thank you in advance.

So, is anyone online now that wants to do those VIP mission things?

Me and Katiegan are doing them.

May I join once my game is done loading?

 

[Fallen_log]

Me too.

I don't mind but after Katie kicks who I'm assuming is a [useless] random from the organization there will only be one spot open.

Sorry for just splitting on you guys. I don't like PvP in GTA, and these VIP missions are more anxiety-inducing than rewarding. Anyway, thank you so much for allowing me to play with you and make a ton of cash. Wish that aerial checkpoint thing happened in private lobbies.

It's only like that in busy sessions. That was definitely the most competition I've seen while doing VIP missions. For the past few days I've only been doing them in quiet lobbies, and it's easy money in those. I'm the same as you, I generally stay away from PvP. Hated facing that other organization that just kept killing me.

It's fine, by the time you'd left we were pretty much just killing the two people who messed us up on the last job. Most of the time you don't have any opposition in VIP jobs though. Mostly Piracy Prevention and Executive search but half of the time people just leave you alone on those.

 

[Jahgee]

You can do VIP **** in an Invite Only lobby if you want

 

[Valkyrie427]

Maybe it's because I've been playing a ton of Battlefront the past few days and I'm fumbling with GTA's controls. I keep pressing L3 to sprint (Please Rockstar. Auto-sprint is a beautiful thing, spamming X is annoying) and the movement in general feels sluggish. Your character seems slow to move from just standing still.

 

[xXKingJoshXx]

Something that can help is if you need to run long distances you can go into first person and just hold X and it will stay running as long as you don't turn the right stick and a couple other buttons.

I've done that before, but the slightest touch to the left or right (Left stick) will shoot me off in another direction.

 

[SomePlayaDude]

First person was probably made for the PC users.

It feels very jittery on a controller, especially with auto-aim. The running speed is alright, then comes in the much faster aim speed which is very disorienting.

 

[Crumpet]

Somebody told me there is a hacking problem on the PC version.

I never would have guessed.

 

[CSMDuty11]

Aaaaand that's the reason i stay in Invite Only lobbies.
Yeah, PC seems to have more hackers than PS3, or so i guess.

 

[Dennisch]

PEOPLE ARE RACING MY CREATION!!!!!

I have 11 👍 and 3 👎 so far!

Still going strong.

 

[xXKingJoshXx]

Anyone else having problems with GTA? I got errors that kicked me out of the game twice and now it's saying R* services are unavailable.

Restart the game.

I have the same problem if I've been playing Destiny for a while. I went back on to Destiny yesterday after 2 days of GTA and ended up spamming X again.

I still keep trying to crouch in GTA though. I even tried to teabag a dead pedestrian. I'm not proud of it, but I'm still disappointed we can't do that.

I don't understand this VIP and bodyguard stuff.

As in you don't know what to do or you just don't get the appeal?

 

[STI9]

I don't understand this VIP and bodyguard stuff.

Its like making a temporary mini-crew in a free roam session. One leader and bodyguards. Other mini-crews attack you and you can play missions/challenges. Bodyguards get money for keeping the leader (VIP) alive.

The point? I dunno, I suppose to spice up free roam - but now there is no smuggler planes or armoured trucks to rob. I have only been a VIP a couple of time out of curiosity. It's a good way of making quick money if you play the right missions but really I have no interest. I would play as a bodyguard to see what it's like though.
