VIP jobs are easy, fast, and good money. If you do challenges in between jobs you can make a steady stream of money. They're at least different than the heists and missions which are the same exact thing each time. I don't know about Executive Deathmatch and Asset Recovery, but the lowest paying job is Hostile Takeover, which normally pays from 16k to 20k. Sightseer and Hostile Takeover are easily done in less than 5 minutes assuming there's no one trying to kill you, and Sightseer pays much better than Hostile Takeover, which is why I've kinda stopped doing Hostile Takeover. Executive Deathmatch pays 25k and Piracy Prevention pays 30k. They're normally all pretty easy if you have a competent group. The hardest ones are Sightseer and Hostile Takeover when you have people in jets and attack helis trying to kill you.

Lets see:

VIP - Regular $5000 for doing next to 🤬 all and varying sums on VIP work, coupled with randoms wanting to kill us in public rooms

Heists - Large end sum sacrificed by faffing around and dying a lot because one of us f:censored:d up, but worth it when we put our 3 and a half heads together and power through it efficiently.

It depends, but in my experience I often spend a lot of money on ammo in the VIP stuff doing piracy prevention/Exec Search and lose a lot in deaths sometimes when theres a dozen folks after you. The VIP stuff can be efficient, but spending $15k on ammo to win a $23k prize is not the way. People seem to leave you alone doing Sightseer and the cash delivery thing. I personally enjoy the more passive activities but it's the VIP's choice as to what tasks you perform. I like the Hot Tub Protection service that occurs when everyone ignores your Piracy Prevention and you can sit in the hot tub and collect without expending lives and ammo, but that is rare.

It all depends on your crew. Some heists are damn near impossible with randoms; Humane Labs for example I wouldn't touch with a ten foot stick purely because of Deliver EMP. If you have a reliable and experienced crew you can run Pac Standard over and over and make more money than you'd know what to with (till the next update of course ). Heists have become a little stale for me though, whereas VIP work involves more action and you don't necessarily have to rely on other players, which is a huge plus.

What would you say is quicker cash? And what is more fun?

If done perfectly and correctly, the Heists get more. VIP jobs are easier and quicker, but not as valuable

Mamba , Zentorno or Monroe ? , I need 2 for the final 2 spaces in my 10 car garage , I have 510,000 and need some inspiration. I could save up . Mamba is lovely but WAY expensive

What do you guys think I should do ?

 

[nascarfan1400]

Thanks guys. I feel like I could get together a good group of people. I've only gotten as far as the Fleeca Job so I have no idea what the other 3 are like aside from starting the Prison Break one. What is the payout per person for each typically?

Last night I debated spending $700k on a stilt apartment. Today I just blew $1 million on a Sultan without much questioning.

Priorities.

Can't paint a stilt apartment WR Blue

Am I the only one who's going to be rocking the Princess Robot Bubblegum livery on my Sultan?











Just me?

I'm actually very proud of being a weeb.

Considering I own all variants of the Kuruma & Sultan at this point, and they're all WR Blue with Gold wheels, I'm pretty sure it's obvious what I went with, if it's not I posted it in the GTA 5 Cars thread

Shouldn't the Kuruma be Red & White ala this?

Need the Mitsu yin to the Scooby's yang.

Nah, I consider them all Subaru's, even though the Kuruma is more Mitsubishi , there is a Redwood Rally livery though, so you could make that if you wanted

Broughy raised an interesting point on Twitter today.

I still can't believe @RockstarGames had the audacity to say the new cars are on pace with the top supers in their newswire post.

I mean surely that's false advertisement. Lying in order to get people to buy shark cards. It's just a flat out lie. Really annoys me.

If there's anyone who frequents the GTA reddit you may want to do a PSA or something with the testing video. It's just not right.

This is pretty serious, because people very likely bought shark cards to buy the new cars thinking they were as fast as the top supercars, but they actually were not.

When you think about it, shark cards in general have got to be one of the greatest scams that Rockstar has made in years. They encourage people to blow their money on them and then the cards they encourage you to buy literally disappear in minutes because you can go through money in no time at all. Also, as to them lying about the capabilities of the cars, I'm not shocked at all. This is the same company that gloats about its server stability but still has abysmal servers and still won't update them despite all the complaints about how terrible the servers are.

The fact that the Banchee 900R is the second slowest Super overall (and is slower that than the regular Banchee, by extention) makes this particularly annoying.

 

[ToyGTone]

Banchee 999R is slower than the normal one?
Rockstar games logic...

Spending couple of millions on a car just to be slower? Really R*?

 

[Flash_Sweden]

I've done the Fleeca job, and the plane and station setups with randoms. But I'm going for the "All in order"-award (really don't know why), so I don't want to start the Prison break myself. If anyone needs help with the rest of the Prison break, just let me know

My son is going to his mother tomorrow, so I can spend most of the weekend in Los Santos

That's a problem, right there. When you claim your new variant of an existing car is on the pace of the best cars in the game, yet is slower and costs five times the original price is some next-level ass hattery.

 

[Sage Ages]

Has there been any decent testing (I'm talking about actual racing and stuff) or are people just assuming the RS is not competitive?

...and it's a 2 door now

inb4 the whole Subaru/Lexus debate.

VIP jobs are definitely better on money/time and are much more reliable. Some of them are more fun, but Executive Search and Piracy Protection can be a bit stale.

 

[Niyologist]

When I was downloading gta v update, it was around 8.9xx so I put it in rest mode and then couple hours decided to just close the console.

Now I turned it back up and it's back to 8.451 GB...

Do you use an ethernet cable?

Broughy released his testing video a few hours ago. The RS is the 9th fastest Super, and the Banshee 900R is the 12th fastest.

1) I already finished the download over
2) yes, I do use ethernet cable.
3) PS4 downloads is slower compared to downloading from PC...etc
4) My Connection Supposed to be only 6 mbps but most of the time is around 4 or 5.5X.

@xXKingJoshXx and others wanting to buy the Roosevelt or the Roosevelt Valor (A more customizable version), start grinding now!!! The Roosevelt Valor will cost $982,000 and the old Roosevelt will be $750,000. I don't know how long they'll be available for, so get them as soon as you can!

 

[Katiegan]

Glad I held on to my Roosevelt from the first time around. Although, if I'm not mistaken, that's how much the original Roosevelt was last time.

Me too. I felt bad for everyone who wanted the original but couldn't afford it, or go online to buy it. It was beautifully modeled and was fun to drive around, or mess about with your friends hanging off the sides.
