Haven't got enough money to be throwing around! How times have changed..

I do know what you mean - am around the $3m mark, but tempted by one of the new cars if their performance matches their pricetags.
If not will buy the Oppressor I think...or the Dune Buggy. I would wait until I have unlocked the missiles for the Oppressor, but have already unlocked the grenade launcher and Minigun for the Dune Buggy.
But I really like the look of the Cheetah Classic, and the XA-21...

Me, Red, Wedge & Christy on.
I'll be on in about 20 mins.
Makes life a lot easier!!
I think the import / export is the best way to make money.
Is that the vehicle cargo? I'm about 2M short of being able to afford a warehouse.
Yep - it does have a high investment cost, but its the most efficient moneymaker. It's also easy to do solo when you are on your own in a public lobby.
Thanks. I'll gradually save up towards it then.
Does the vehicle warehouse get robbed often, iv been robbed twice trying to refill the normal warehouse in the last day the second time i was AFK
Never had mine robbed whilst in solo. Some are a pain though had 16k damage on the last one I did thanks to faster cars constantly shooting me.
Mine never has - and have been AFK a few times for quite a while. I'm not even sure if it can be to be honest.
I usually deliver them with the cargobob - that way you can eliminate any damage.
Aside from the profit, the other cool thing about Import/Export is that it is just more interesting stealing and delivering cars then generic crates. Once you have stolen the car, you mod it, so you get to try new paintjobs etc. It's also cool trying out the different cars you steal.
Can you post a vid please?
Will do - will try and get one this eve but if people are already on will grab it tomorrow.
Thanks.
anyone jumping on this eve?
About half 10. Lot of them on FIFA so they may swap over.
Cheers @KanieKaned @Levo and @christy87. Enjoyable little sesh with the vehicle missions. The Aqua one the four of us did and the Buggy one I did with KK were my favourites. With the latter I just charged into police cars pushing them out of the way.
At the very end, KK and I were just causing havoc. His Kuruma is very strong sustaining 5* police chase for ages. We stopped a raid on his warehouse. Killed a few CEOs and our downfall was only when we tried to destroy some Gunrunners' cargo. Ended up killing us all but I made sure to destroy the cargo before calling it a night.

Easily the most enjoyable session I have had in ages, I tip my hat to all of ya. would actually be into trying to do the gunrunning with a load of us on all at the same time in a full session and seeing if we can protect either mine or some elses stock or cars for delivery. I think we would do exceptionally well and it would offer up a challenge although we would want everyone involved there are enough drivers and plenty of people to guard the cargo.
Anyone its something to possibly try out at some point If people are up for it.
Damo that finale was hilarious!
Is it worth buying the mobile operation center? I want to make more money, and at a faster pace than I currently am.
I have a bunker which I steal supplies for and while it creates stock, I do ceo vehicle exports. Also do a few CEO VIP work/challenges. Any other suggestions which will earn me money faster than the above?

I have wondered this myself as at the moment it just seems like wasted money?
Obviously the quickest option if people don't mind spending their own cash is shark cards but I will be fooked if I am going to shell out money on those things considering I could spend it faster than purchasing another for 80 Euros.
Myself I have been trying to get online with a few yanks I know to grind the Pacific Bank Heist over and over for a few hours. We do it where the host takes the max cut possible then glitch our way to the finish so it only takes 20 minutes or so to complete tops. If we grind that for a few hours we all make a couple of million. Do that a couple of nights in a row and we are all sorted for expendable cash to go crazy on cars and whatever else is needed.
Selling vehicles in CEO seems to be the most profitable source of income. I have been trying to find vehicle glitches online like the old days but I am having no joy. If I do come across one I will pass said information of terribleness on in here.
Cheers mate, grinding the heists sounds like a good idea, I just don't know where to find the people to do it with. Do you know the Americans or did you just find them on another forum?
They are people I came across from playing GTA online. They are a nice bunch to play with its just the hours in the difference means I need to be up until about 3 and 4 am to get a decent session in with them.
Get yourself on with the rest of us is you are a PS4 user and some night we can try grind a bit of cash. I can show someone how to do the bike glitch so once you have two people able to do it on the bikes its quite simple to complete.
I'm XB1 I'm afraid. I've just been on a heist with 3 Americans, managed to get the whole 1,250,000 by respawning at the bikes and using a swat truck to escape
Thats a massive shame being on XB1 but regardless 1.25m is a good return and exactly what we aim for each time when we grind that heist. If ya want I can probably find a link to a vid for how to do that glitch and if not just explain it in a post for you. Might come in handy.
Only get the MOC if you want to host the new missions. Personally I have found little use for it. For heists try the GTA Forum, there's usually good players there looking for heist help.
Yeah would be ideal if they ever allowed cross-platform online. Yeah if you could send me the video that would be great, thanks.
I ended up buying it as I want the flying bike and apparently you can only upgrade the bike to have rockets etc with the MOC?
Have you found another way of modifying your weapons and gunrunning vehicles? I agree it's of little use by itself, but the new ammo, opressor and weaponized tampa are awesome.
Anybody else playing this on PC?
Tbh I forgot about that. New ammo is essential if you're into PVP. The bike too is good, despite the fact the insurance costs on both of those vehicles are ridiculous.
I'm pretty negative on this uodate though. Pretty much killed my desire to play it.
@Levo Will be on later to give you a dig out with those cars. What time you thinking of?
Cheers!
Erm probably head on about 10ish.

Wow. Will it be permanent?
Just randomly thought of the chiliad mystery and searched online then seen this DLC... 
Am sure I have shared a load of his videos in this thread - but it turns out Broughy (the youtuber who does all the car test videos) has been banned from GTA online across all platforms.
He has been increasingly critical of R* recently - basically calling the foreclosure property map nothing but a huge paywall and criticising the direction they have taken GTA online by putting their entire focus on selling shark cards.
This was one of his most recent videos:
He is still doing the testing videos it seems, but a shame that he has been banned as his videos were the most objective and interesting of any of the YouTubers out there.

Paywall bandwagon really due to battlefront.
GTA online has always had requirements to do certain things, spend the time, earn the dollar, buy what you need (apartment, cars, garage) and get the next part of the shit.
It's progression.
Everyone wants everything from day one. Spoilt cnuts.
Unless I've missed something and you actually need to use real money to get it?

It’s just very cost prohibitive. Need a new facility to access the new heists, they’ve also released a very shady looking pack called the criminal starter pack or something. Costs like £40 an says you get £10,000,000 worth of cars, properly etc but doesn’t actually state what you get.
True - but what they seem to do now is that in order to buy one of the new vehicles (which in itself costs a few million), you need to have hosted the new heist to unlock the trade price (which means buying one of the new facilities, which is a couple of million), then to modify the new special vehicles, you either need either the MOC or the new plane (both of which cost 3-4 million).
SO there are hidden costs that you need to pay, not just the vehicle costs.
And what is annoying a number of people, is that there should be no reason why you couldn't run the new heists from your bunker - but instead R* is forcing you to payout for a whole new facility if you want to host the heists.
So the DLC is free - but you have to invest a lot if ingame cash to both play it and get the new vehicles.
The game has always been a grind, but the price of vehicles is going up and up, while the payouts are staying the same. Also, even if you do buy shark cards, the amount you get it not matching the inflation of the ingame prices. I think someone worked it out that to buy all the content from the Doomsday DLC, it would cost you over $1000 in real money. That is ridiculous. The new Delorean car that can hover and fly would cost over $30 if you bought a shark card to pay for it!! That is over half the price of the game itself!!
