Increased payout for the mission 'Death From Above'.

[luisniko]

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.

 

Not when there's KeshKurdz to sell

[BigJoe_1]

except the AI in RTR are OP bigtime

They are in this mission aswell for a level 30 mission players who have just unlocked it will struggle big time.

 

As said above the enemies have assault shotguns plus SWAT show up once you shoot so that makes it even more OP.

 

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

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.

 

Also Michael and Franklin. Franklins would most likely be like simeons but pay more and unlock around level 40-45.

just call in an airstrike, easy

Airstrikes cost 8k the mission pays out 3.75k on hard. You would be losing 4.25k every time.

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.

I get what you mean seing as your not chasing anyone but for 3.75k on hard it's a ripoff also you do have to take a photo of the dead guy I had to last night.

[TreFacTor]

DFA and its payout have always been sh*t. I played it only to get through it and never played it again.

[mupp3tz]

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.

 

The sad thing is I really like this mission. It's one of the fun ones to do with a team, but the payout could be better esp. with the time spent. I would be happy with 20-25k but that's never going to happen.

Death From Above was actually in the GTA:Online trailer.

 

Skip to 2:09

 

 

When I first got this mission with my friends we were like ''Hey it's that mission from the trailer! Alright, let's get a chopper!''

 

Needless to say...

 

As soon as we started parachuting down there, all 4 of us died in a matter of seconds before we could even reach the ground. We were slow moving targets descending from the sky completely out in the open as if we offered ourselves as target practice. We could only use our pistols while they had assault rifles.

 

Damn you Rockstar! This is unacceptable.

[BLeonard]

Funny that some in here are claiming that "High Priority Case" needs a better payout...

 

Ever wonder why there really is no "Rooftop" in "Rooftop Rumble?" That's because that title (and the $37,500 payout for the mission) were supposed to go the mission we know as "High Priority Case" and vice versa.

 

But, I'd be willing to bet that, if they swapped those missions back to the way that they had planned, giving them the correct titles and payouts, nobody would be talking about the old "High Priority Case" getting a bump in payout... They'd be too busy bitching about how the old "Rooftop Rumble" got a "nerf"... Even though that was the payout plan for that mission.

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 use my Buzzard and missile the enemies.

 

Land on the roof of the construction site, fire my way in to get the brief case, fly Buzzard (missile down the MW Chopper) then fly to Lester's warehouse.

[Crunch McThornbody]

There are several missions that don't have high enough payouts for the amount of effort/time/bullets you're liable to put into them, hence why RR & Coveted are well, coveted.

[JOEsAGGRESSIVE]

Played this mission at least 10+ times back in October but was never able to finish it lol. Glad that I didn't because that low payout would have made me puke. Don't get me wrong I like hard missions, I'd even try this again now that I'm a higher rank, but at least they need to make it worth the effort with an increased payout like survivals. Sorry but $20,000 for 20+ minutes is ridiculous.

 

On another note I've lately been getting alot of invites to violent ducts lol

[JC Hammer]

This is probably the hardest mission to do by yourself

 

Not anymore, since you don't have to take a picture anymore you can snipe the target from across the street and then drive to Martins, easy

[belltold12]

 

 

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.

You know you can get a helicopter for free at the heli pads just north of the LSC down there. Land on Maze bank building first w/sniper rifle. Clear rest of NPCs, shoot down chase heli. Get back in your heli and you're done.

Oops, should've read the whole thread.

[J32T3R]

I agree this mission is a pain, played it once never wanted to play it again.

 

The guards is fine, but when the cops come it gets severely aggravating. 3k for that is pitiful and absurd. Whoever is running GTA;O needs to be fired ASAP

[roboticsuperman]

Maybe missions should pay out more if they are completed less, coveted would pay out peanuts since everyone completes it easy, this mission would pay out more. Then if everyone starts farming 1 mission, it is then a poor paying mission, so no one farms it.

[am30]

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.

 

For Death from Above as you describe it, $3,750 is not terrible if you have access to a Buzzard or a chopper and a sniper rifle. However, we now have to take a photo of the target once we've killed him which makes the payout far too low.

That's how the mission was initially and then they removed the need to take a photo. Unless it's been put back in very recently (I played it in 1.11/1.12 and it was still the case that you didn't need to snap a pic of him)

[iddqdvie]

something will be balanced sometime and i can only hope its not RR&Cov getting less, but all the other missions gettin more payout.

 

its probably a mixture of both.

[Lay]

Didn't this mission payout $9k?

[Craze]

Misleading title is misleading.

[Aeyix]

I think Death from Above is by far the hardest mission in GTA Online. I've not struggled in any other mission as I have compared to that one. That payout has often cost less than ammo used too.

If your using more than 1 sniper round your doing it wrong

 

As previously stated several times in this thread, this mission was changed a while ago so you no longer are required to photograph the target

[Mark Pagliaro]

I do death from above from well above in a jet.

 

Missile lock on targets.

 

The mission is one of the fun ones.

 

I still had to take a photo of the target (last played about a week ago) xbox360

[Zwenkwiel]

mission payouts and difficulty/completion time are completely unrelated

geuss no1 ever told R* rewards should match the challenge

[BLACK DYNAM1TE]

Well dont forget that back way way way then we were getting paid double theses payouts for the majority of these missions. I remeber getting paid $12,000 for "Out of Court settlement"-- a 47 second mission if done correctly, and it was my grinder back when I started and was like " I never need to play anything else/Do I really get this much?..."

 

But the missions are really just templates to give us inspirations when the creator tools come out. Im actually looking foward to these more than Heist. They also have a Heist Creator in the works as well. Just give it time, I rather see new missions and content being released regardless of payouts. 2 years from now you wont even remember Rooftop Rumble

[fiebru787]

Still a hard mission in a tank. I hate ls conection because everyone die inediatley.

[Lisha]

I don't think I've ever managed to pass Death from Above, alone or with others. I only started playing GTA: Online again recently and Rooftop Rumble and Coveted are so f*cking easy to do and pay sh*tloads of cash.

They put it back in as part of 1.13. Same for the other missions where you had to take a photo of the victim.

Ahh, cool. Maybe I'll phase that back into my mission roster proper now.

Fly the helicopter with a pal. Pal shoots target with sniper rifle. Boom. Done. Noone need fall from the sky or engage the security. Fly away..boom.

[Myu]

I like to solo missions and tried that one when I was new and couldn't do it. Then I tried with randoms and kept failing lol So never tried again, f*ck that mission.

[dewtech]

Bust outs had a boost too. Paying 15k and assuming you can get the bus to stop fairly quick it's an easy missions
