Increased payout for the mission 'Death From Above'.

[BigJoe_1]

As the title says this mission needs an increased payout. For a payout of $3,750 on hard it's just unnacceptable, The mission is to break into the grounds of a mansion to kill a man who is guarded by SWAT and CID who shoot on sight, IMO this mission should have a payout of at least $9,000-$10,000 on hard, The enemies are armed with what I can only assume are Assault Shotguns and Assault Rifles/Carbine Rifles and they shoot even if you are at least 5 metres away, They are like the NPC's in Rooftop Rumble except none of them use an Advanced Rifle so why do we only get 3.75k it's a complete rip off. Tonight It took me like 6 tries on hard by myself because everyone else was grinding RR.

 

It's basically the lower level version of RR so it should pay at least half of what RR pays since it's basically the some thing:

 

Death From Above Rooftop Rumble

 

1. Empty the Mansion grounds Empty the parking lot

2. Kill the target Retrieve the documents

3. Lose the police (Not always an issue) The same applies here

4. Go to Madrazo's house Go to Madrazo's house

5. Payment $3,750 Payment $18,750

 

Keep in mind for those payouts both must be completed on hard difficulty.

 

Notice the instructions I posted aren't the exact instructions but they are similer if looked at like that.

 

It's completely unfair that Death From Above doesn't even pay half of what RR pays since it's basically the lower level version.

[kjahcleveland]

I agree. That missions is rough.

[Gaffa]

Meh, I can think of several other missions that should have payouts increased before considering Death From Above.

[BigJoe_1]

Meh, I can think of several other missions that should have payouts increased before considering Death From Above.

Same, Missions like: High priority case (getting the chopper is the hardest part alone before getting shot out as you land)

, Any of simeons later missions (That guy is just a dic#) There are more I just can't remember them.

 

But I just brought up Death From Above because it's basically RR for the low levels and it doesn't even pay half of what the normal RR pays.

[WRATH_OF_POWER]

Yeah, for the time and effort, this mission is not worth it.

Calling Lester to help lose the pigs can help but it's just spending more money then what the payout is worth.

[mrkush90]

except the AI in RTR are OP bigtime

[Strange Town]

And missions like Editor And Thief who are much easier pays much more I really don't understand that. Looks like the payments were randomized instead of being given to the hardest missio

This is probably the hardest mission to do by yourself

[LPGTAO]

No it's so easy. Check out the mission tutorial on my YouTube channel.

[shadyelf]

between 1.11 and 1.13 it was reasonable. There was a spot where you had clear line of sight to the target, can take him out easily. Then trigger the marker with the chopper and you're done. There was a bug that made it so in these missions you'd never have to take the picture. Now you have to again so it's insanely difficult. Even FOS is easier.

[Ai®a©ob®a]

I really hope R* stop listening to those little boys who want cars, cars and more cars and actually work on something to make the game worth playing again.

 

Don't get me wrong the new cars are decent but i want more missions I've probably played each mission at least 10 times except the new ones i only seem to get the "Crime Scene" one but it's a nice mission but the payout don't reflect the hardship and effort put into these missions.

 

It's time R* start listening to the adults who play this game and give us something we want

[danowar]

A lot of the missions should be paying more. I did Handle With Care and only got 10,500 which will make it 5 in future plays. There won't be future plays.

Actually its MUCH harder than RR, so it should payout at least 18,750. Rockstar needs to learn a lot about balancing mission payouts. They are horrible right now.

[tjor24]

There's a lot of them really. Every mission should really pay 5k or more at this point.

[CatchMeTrolling]

I see people still don't make good use of the Entity on missions

[mupp3tz]

It really is an awful mission, but you don't have to clear out the mansion. I usually just drive straight into the pool area, shoot the guy directly in front and another, take cover by the wall immediately to the left after the fence, shoot the other 2-3 guys who went into cover, kill the target, take the pic/take cover behind the box under the stairs, shoot 3-4 more that come in by the fence.. get in the car and drive like hell out.

 

Also for High Priority Case, you would do better landing on the Maze bank and not on the actual building. Snipe. THEN fly there.

 

But, yeah, the payout for either is meh.

I hate this mission. Last time I did it I used the tank (was helping my brother with it). I never plan to play it again. I don't mind hard missions but hard mission and sh*t pay? No time for that.

[Sunnycyde]

No it's so easy. Check out the mission tutorial on my YouTube channel.

A little desperate aren't ya? I mean just look at your signature....come on.

I think we're under 90 contact missions still and like 20 of those are even worth repeating.

 

I don't accept any invites from people hosting any Simeon, Lamar, and Gerald missions.

 

 

We really need a new contact badly. Devon/molly are still alive for us use them rockstar.

[luisniko]

Yea? More like Los Santos Connection needs increased payout much more than this.

 

LS Connection:

- Go to Rancho, defeat the enemies

- Defeat or lose the chasers

- Go to El Burro hill, kill ever-spawning enemies while hacking laptop

- Go to Airport hangar, kill another ever-spawning enemies and steal coke

- Ambushed by bunch of enemies again, grab a buzzard and quickly catch up with a flying jet

>> If someone who has no idea about the mission destroyed the buzzard, pretty much you'll end up with Mission Failed.

- Blow the plane, go to Martin's house

~ All of that hassle and drags just for 15k in Hard mode.

 

The mission design team have no sense of balance.

What, for 3 exclamation points in her sig, come on yourself, the clip wasn't even embedded. Not pimping, just helping.

 

OT. Yep, I love that mission for the difficulty, but rarely play for that crappy pay.

[chriiis125]

I agree. The online team sucks at balancing anything involving money.

 

The community should make a list of the missions and what each of their payouts should be.

It pays an extra 8k if you get the drugs from all the 'gang attack' crates found at the locations.

Loads of missions need looking at for content redundancy reasons. There's no reason to do this mission ever. RR is really easy compared to this one. It's doable alone but it's rather painful. They also need looking at in general so they feel less gamey so people exploit the mediocre AI rather than play it out. By mediocre I don't mean bad as in easy, I mean how enemies spawn and how they are always aware of your location making most stealthy approaches useless with few exceptions. Good AIs are made more immersive and this game is lacking in that.

 

Don't nerf RR or any of the 'kill x, take photo or grab y, see Madrazo' missions though, make the other missions pay out more so the community doesn't feel like things are being taken away from them. I don't think many people care about the realistic angle of Simeon paying peanuts for a lot of effort. It just results in his missions not being touched.

 

Either that or make some missions cash efficient for time and some exp efficient for time and some in the middle.

[The_B1u3_Jay]

Every mission needs increased payouts. I remember watching the GTA Online trailer and seeing players diving out of a helicopter and shooting the enemies while parachuting (Hence the name "Death from Above") and if you try that in-game, then you will get shot down in three seconds.

[dewtech]

Cops capacity is another imo. Very long winded for the payout

True. The risk you do and the mission failed count that may occur for the level of people who unlocked it isn't worth both RP and money.

 

This is why now when I join a random mission and have no chance of succeeding, I'll just quit halfway and proceed to something else. I'd rather rob a store to get $2000 rather than playing Los Santos Connection which most likely everyone dies in the hangar and will have paper-thin success rate. I solo-ed LS Connection last night after the rest of the members died in the El Burro hill. I don't know how many snacks and armors I used to survive the hangar.

[Coin]

Lol, Death from above is easy, sorry. I would be much more onboard with an increased payout if you still had to take a photo of the dead guy.

[Biohazard Abyss]

They made it easier. It's not near as easy as Rooftop Rumble, but still.

[Ronzilla.]

Yes this mission can be very hard. They need to up the payout on Death from above, High priority case, and all of the new contact missions from the high life update.

[mojito]

just call in an airstrike, easy
