Current Events > Anybody still play GTA Online?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I just started the game. Didn't really know what I was doing during one of the missions and got pwned a lot.
---

Every now and then I'll try to do some races to make money but everyone just rams me into last place every time

nope, I've been perma-banned twice
---

Almost every day on PC, but mostly because I have a routine down where I need to play for 20 minutes a day in order to get around a million a week in order to buy stuff when the new updates come around.

If I were to give you any tips, it would be to do whatever you have to do to rank up to 130 as quickly as possible (at this rank, your health maxes out and you can store the maximum amount of extra bulletproof vests)

As soon as you are able to afford them, get the cheapest CEO office and a vehicle warehouse (not the cheapest, but the one in which you like the location most. middle of the map is better tactically, the docks location is also okay because it is close to the highways. I have a docks warehouse myself)

Import/Export is the biggest money maker in GTA Online for a solo player if you know what you're doing. It's not hard to figure out the trick to getting 100k sales every 20 minutes from it but since you're just starting i won't bore you with it here.

Avoid biker businesses. They're all money sinks unless you have a dedicated biker crew. If you absolutely have to have one, Cocaine would be the one to get as you can actually earn decent money from it playing solo.

Bunkers (aka Gunrunning business) are nice passive income but require a HUGE initial investment so this is something that you should look at way way WAY down the line and even then I'd say maybe skip it.

Hangers are a waste of money unless you're really *really* into flying. That shit is an expensive

Weaponized vehicles are a major part of the game now, but honestly the only things worth getting are the Buzzard Attack Helicopter and the Oppressor Rocket Bike. But because you need to spend a shit ton of money in the bunker in order to unlock missiles for the oppressor, it's better to just buy the flying delorean because missiles come standard on it. It's slower than the oppressor but you spend WAY less money in the long run.

Hydras are a big waste of money, If you really want a jet to grief just pay the 5000 to have cops not chase you and steal a Lazer from the airbase.

Other than that, just keep an eye on double cash and RP missions and sales on things

Ah, thanks for the advice! I appreciate it!

So wrong

Hydras are extremely important

You can call them in wherever and fly anywhere on the map in one of the fastest forms of transportation, with a "helicopter" and jet in one aircraft. You will be so much more efficient in everything you do, especially VIP work.

1. You can't call them in "Wherever" if you don't have the hanger, and even then the hanger still spits them out in predetermined locations while calling in a Buzzard with CEO Vehicles calls it in right next to you.

2. The speed of the Hydra is offset by how much skill it takes in landing it quickly. You'll be torn apart by any vehicle with homing missiles these days.

3. The only VIP work worth doing is Headhunter, and it's much more efficient with a Buzzard than a Hydra unless you're triggering it out in the countryside instead of the city, which you should never do anyways.

Also @PikachuMaxwell are you playing on console or PC?

This gimmick has potential.

Making money in gta is stupid easy. I decided to become an Ocelot Dealer of sorts. I own 6/8 Ocelot cars fully upgraded and all the same paintjob, wear an Ocelot jacket, and gonna change my business name to Ocelot motors. Still got almost 8 mil to spend. For sure gonna spend it on the nightclub. Only 2 cars I need are the ardent and.... the lynx >.> Worst money sink in the game

I always want to play but all the cool shit requires way too much money grinding to get.

Unless they changed it so that they come stock, I think you still have to add the weapons to the Deluxo via MOC or Avenger workshop. I don't think weapons are available at the paint shops.

Correct. But you need to research it with the bunker first. Then you can buy it

For the Deluxo? I know you did for the Oppressor.

What's the fastest way to rank up? I just logged back in and I'm a way lower level than I thought

Double XP events. There is one right now on motor wars but it kinda sucks. I grind stunt racers for money and rank. Level up in about 3-4 races and about 60k per race

Stromberg is life.

It's so underrated. Same missiles as the Deluxo/Oppressor/Vigilante/Ruiner 2000, but can survive a few of theirs back, and has deceptively strong machine guns.

I had to buy it for the Ocelot collection and would not have bought it for any other reason. But it is now one of my favs :) Such an awesome car.
