I see all these money farming methods consist of Buzzards. What if you was saving for one?

THEN, what would you do?

Satellite Communications. Take your time killing all the enemies in the compound then drive towards the drop off point. Just where the bikies turn away to let you finish the mission (under the billboard if you stay on the main road) jump out and clean up the last of them. Finish the mission and start it again from where you spawn.

It takes about 4 minutes of driving to get back to the compound and about 5 1/2 minutes to actually do the mission once you get in to a rhythm. I can't remember the payouts offhand but there is little, if any, waiting around for the magic 10 minute mark.

mmm...so I just picked up another special crate in a public lobby, it had another victory fist t-shirt in it, keep an eye out as it seems there is still time to get that if you missed it.

 

[SomePlayaDude]

It might look cool, but I don't think I want a shirt that tells you that you've been Metsu Shoryuken'd.

It's not that cool I agree, but lot's of people are OCD when it comes to collecting rare stuff including me. Still bugs me I missed out on the flight school parachute bag thing, even though it was rubbish.

As mentioned, Sat Comms is a good solo mission. I would also go for Chopper Tail as well.

 

[SVX]

I usually just start a mission that gets sent to me via phone and go from there, variety is spice.

Is it possible to get the Merryweather Mesa jeep online...to keep?

Is it possible to get the Merryweather Mesa jeep online...to keep?

That it is.

 

[leeislee]

Hehe, i've just got one thanks to the mercenaries!

 

[SomePlayaDude]

Off roading has been one of my favorite things to do in GTA Online.

Bonus points when in a public room, is raining and when carrying a bounty.

 

[Nurburgthing.]

I have one and wanted to sell it....

"This vehicle cannot be sold".

 

[MMX]

Yeah they found out extra money could be made off them, and put a halt to that. Every time I did a mission with those in it, I'd hop in one to keep after the mission, then sell it for $9k. Not anymore, it's been like that a while though..

 

[Nurburgthing.]

@MMX - That's really lame. I hate the way R* make all these petty little rules. You should be able to sell it if you've spent loads of $$$'s on it.

Time to moan to R* support again me thinks.

I am one of those folks. I have every article of clothing from the "limited time" selections except the Fist shirt. I loved the High Life Chute bag and it is always equipped.

 

[MisterWhiskers]

I do Mixed Up With Coke, but drag out the process really long so I get more money. I get about $20,700 and over 3K RP.

1: Start mission
2: Call Pegasus for a Buzzard
3: Obtain your Buzzard and land on top of the buildings around the construction site
4: Take out a sniper rifle (Preferably the regular Sniper Rifle without a suppressor or the Heavy Sniper) and get headshots on every enemy you can see
5: When you think you've taken them all out, move to another building and look again, then fly to the other side and take out the remaining enemies
6: Get into your Buzzard, select the lock on missiles, and destroy the cement trucks
7: Stay in third person view when chasing after far away trucks, that way, if an enemy SUV spawns below and in front of you, you can fire a missile immediately when your crosshair locks onto them
8: Blow up the remaining trucks and the enemy Buzzard (Optional, but suggested since they will attack you if they see you and you can get some extra RP for killing them)

I might try that

Is it possible to get the Merryweather Mesa jeep online...to keep?

Yes, just ask a friend to call the mercenaries against you and kill all of the mercenaries. There are multiple jeeps to choose from.

Well you're in luck, they extended the crate time to 10/13, and increased their frequency. I know because I just got my first public session one

 

[leeislee]

I was in a session for about 2 hours earlier on and there was about 5 crate drops in that time. So now is the time to get your t-shirt

 

[driftinziggy]

Sweet.. i never had the spare time to nab one so looks like I'll be spending some time in a public lobby which sucks.. but I WILL get one tonight if I have to kill everyone in the lobby.

 

[Ken]

I know what I'm doing before I pass out tonight.

Remember that glitch I posted a while back, where I got my alt's garage instead of my own? I just did it again and may have found out how to do it.

1. Switch characters. Mine was taking a shower when I joined. Leave the shower. After the cutscenes happens.
2. Get back in the shower, then hit "Leave GTA online".
3. Once back in story mode, click on a solo session. You should be spawn as the one you changed from.
4. Go in a garage, and it might be different

I have no idea what this can be used for, or even if it works for anyone else. I guess this can be a way to transfer cars across characters? I don't even know if it would save if you did that.

If you find it to be more harmful than helpful, report it to Rockstar.

Same here. I collect everything. Having four characters I only focus on my main one as its my day one character. Got everything except the glitched Radio T shirts and elusive if even exist fifth beer hat.

This go round I got four Fist T-Shirts. Three for my characters and one for the fiancé's. Got two of those tonight!!


FIST T-Shirt:
They're still coming in special crates! Make a crew, invite, or friend room and invite around four plus people into it. The special crate will come. We seen four tonight in a 4hr period! Seemed they came every hour roughly. Maybe slightly quicker. Like one game day.

I think I'll use my second profile and play around with this for a bit.

Are the new weapons worth buying? I know the new sniper rifle allows you to move around while aiming (finally), but you can't zoom, which is frustrating.

Marksman rifle is great for close range.
Shotgun is not as powerful as assault shotgun but is still a good weapon.

How's the range on the shotgun? Longer than the Assault Shotgun?

Unsure. Shotguns are not generally my go to guns.

Ok. I'm sure someone else here can fill me in. Thanks anyway.

 

[GTPorsche]

It's slightly less range than the assault shotgun, it has more power, but less spread.
