Rooftop Rumble

[STLthugg]

Hey guys, I'm playing GTA Online right now and I want to play some Rooftop Rumble. Since I'm not at rank 75 yet, I'm at 65, I'll need someone to start it up that is a 75. Thanks guy, I'm on now so hurry and invite me!

Shaking my head at the fact that OP is too lazy.

There is a thread for that. Use the search function.

I'll be on in a couple hours. Rank 94 but not played it yet.

How? They both take ~4min to complete but RR pays more to compensate for its 10-15sec cutscene.

[Original Sin]

With loading and cutscene times, it takes just over 4 minutes to fully run RR once. If you were to do that 16 times, that'd be 64 minutes for $300,000 with 0 mistakes in those 16 runs.

I can complete a 16x Coveted playlist in 56 minutes for $288,000 and use far less ammo. Could easily then just do Coveted once more in those 8 spare minutes for an extra $18,000 and bring the total to $306,000.

 

Unless someone can show me a way to complete RR in under 4 minutes (WITH LOADING AND CUTSCENE TIMES, FORRREEE), then nope, Coveted will always be my go-to mission for making those $$$'s.

I fail to see an explanation as to how it is faster? Also, a couple of clips of ammo (at most) will set you back less than $500. If that's 'costly' in the wake of 18K+ net profit, I don't know what to tell you.

Even if your mission timing calculations are correct, the net gain for choosing Coveted over RR is still just ~10k/hr which, in the grand scheme of things, is nothing.

 

In any case, the reason I choose the latter over the former is that RR is way less boring to replay and gives more XP to level up my second character.

Rooftop rumble is better than coveted. They both take the same time but rooftop rumble gives more money and WAY more RP. Plus i don't get how its more expensive ammo wise. My new setup i do now tells me i only spend between $400-500 dollars every game.

But Coveted is boring as f*ck, because in order to complete it the fastest and use the least amount of ammo you need to repeat the same exact process over and over again.

 

F*ck. That.

I agree but RR is best for RP

If you play RR with friends and/or crew members, you often don't have to do much, just follow.

 

With that in mind, they both have their strengths and weaknesses, and I play both just as often. Overall I prefer RR just a tad more as you can approach it in various ways, unlike Coveted which turns my brain to mush after an hour or so.

Just do what I do. Throw on some tunes, or get into a good party with friends and just let your natural instincts take over. You don't even need to concentrate. It's incredibly easy.

 

Or get drunk.

I'm legit Rank 251. I haven't cared about RP in a looong time

Or, you can play RR and NOT SPEND ANY MONEY ON AMMO.

I farmed Coveted to reach 120 from 116 a long time ago and got sick of it quick. No amount of weed or interaction with friends can help. I know Coveted is easy. I can beat it under 3 minutes, solo, but the process blows.

 

I like the ride to Madrazo's in Rooftop Rumble because I enjoy driving and sometimes having to dodge the crazy SUV's. Coveted is just shooting a few braindead NPCs, and flying a Cargobob. No thank you, lol.

Touchè!

 

I'm legit level 227 and 128...

 

I'll always care about RP.

 

That said, I do like Coveted (great way to level up that flying skill)...but RR is best for money AND RP.

[KingFuzzy]

I'd like to grind RR too, though I'm not level 75 yet so I don't have it. I'd rather grind this for RP since the payouts much larger than coveted and as peple have said, not nearly as big a sanity-sink to grind.

This makes it all seem like hard work. This game is meant to be fun, do them both..... However, the crazy drive makes RR more fun.

[Crunch McThornbody]

Solo, I find RR much quicker than Coveted, but if you get the right group in Coveted it goes pretty quickly.

 

But there is the problem that RR is still buggered, if I do it solo I almost always get the FAILED screen despite delivering the documents.

pretty sure they hotfixed that cuss i used to get it and now i don't and i heard they fixed it a few days ago.

[LPGTAO]

I never use ammo on RTR either. As I've said so many times just pistolwhip them all!

But you didn't pistolwhip them all. Don't they all have to die to get the package?

Yea they just changed it after I made that video but you can still whip em all. It's even better if ur part of a team and 3 people run in and pistol whip them all at the same time while the 4th gets the getaway vehicle.

^This. I've also noticed that its better if you start by pistol whipping the two in the middle (the guys with the documents), then go around counter-clockwise pistol whipping everyone else.

There has been a few times when I don't do it in this order, they will start shooting.

[Deadly Aviator]

Coveted solo vs RR solo: Coveted is faster and more reliable, and more enjoyable since you can just listen to some music or podcast w/e, since with a good method it's the same every time

 

With an organised group:

RR is faster if someone gets a helicopter whilst the other get the document, but you still need to pay for 2xGL ammo, and the helicopter, and wait for the long cutscenes. (you also need an organised group who won't destroy the document or crash the helicopter)

 

 

Also last time I played RR, I had to kill everyone before the document appeared, the times before it would drop as soon as I killed the person with it, so they might have hotfixed it to take longer.
