If you want to make money, you almost have to go into missions. I want to change that, here are some ideas.

 

Armored truck caravans: [2 or 3 in covoy]

Snip

 

Better HPV's [sports cars/etc.]

Snip:

 

Better Assassinations from Lester

Snip

 

Collectibles that you can sell [Drugs]

Snip

 

Vigilante Work [Police]

Snip

 

What do you think?

 

Nice ideas, I enjoyed doing the vigilante jobs in the previous games and wondered why they weren't in this one!

 

A crew friend was talking to me about this same subject earlier this week (or last week if you like).

 

There should be more ways of making money in free-roam, as that is where you spend most of your 'daily spend' money (i.e. on weapons/health-care/etc.).

 

We already have as you have mentioned armoured trucks, and Simeon's HPV cars (which I agree don't seem to be worth the risk of stealing in an open lobby).

 

We also have gang attacks, shop robberies, cars to sell to LSC as well as standard Simeon cars - and of course my personal favourite, picking up money dropped by NPCs (edit: I forgot bounties)

 

If your ideas or some others were brought into the game, it would make it easier to spend more time in free-roam without having to leave to do a mission or race to earn some decent $s.

 

I actually ran out of ammo for my combat MG as well as my RPG last night battling some randoms outside Fort Zancudo, but have funds so just went over to ammunation to buy more.

 

If I didn't have enough money, I probably would have ended up having to leave the lobby to do a mission and then I wouldn't have been able to continue to battle the same players.

 

I didn't know anyone else in the lobby, so was glad to be able to return to the fight after stocking up again

i think freeroam is fine just as it is to make money

 

with the addition of lester bountys (which noone seems to do) you can make 40k-60k an hour if you know what to do

Brilliant ideas

 

They could make it so the high priority vehicles that are sports cars/super cars and such cant be sold when we drive into los santos customs, just repainted for simeon or maybe another car person.

 

 

But sadly, its unlikely this will be added.

People on GTA Forums must learn a lil' thing about R*'s thoughts:

 

SHARK CARDS >>>> Abyss >>>> FUN

 

These features and another ones will only be added on PC version with modding on private servers. R* will do everything to ruin the GTA Online gameplay if this means they'll sell more shark cards.

 

Heists will be dissapointing, since they'll put you in a normal job lobby like and it won't have any kind of complexity. Let's not forget GTA Online fanbase R* is aiming are 12 years old kids, not adults and mature players, so we must forget complex heists, forget what you've seen on Payday and think about what you've seen on Michael Bay's movies (I guess they'll even put Megan Fox on the lobbish heists missions).

If you want to make money, you almost have to go into missions. I want to change that, here are some ideas.

 

Armored truck caravans:

-Trucks spawn in caravans of 2-3 armored trucks, and 1-2 noose vans

-Trucks each carry 10,000+ in cash instead of the small and pathetic 2.5k sum they do now

This requires you to have an attack and exit plan because once you attack one armored truck, the others will speed away and the noose men will get out of the van and start spraying.

 

Better HPV's

-High Priority Vehicles are always worth $200,000+ (vaccas, monroes, JB700s, stingers, massacros, rarely supercars like the entity or the adder)

-Simeon pays more the higher value the car is, up to $60,000

-Steal cars from less boring places (impounds, private airport hangars, private mansions, places where you will get a lot of heat if you come too close like merryweather or gangs instead of the empty parking lots we find them in now)

-Police will chase you with different levels depending on the value of the car you stole, the people you stole from will chase you with the same amount of heat no matter what

-If you drive very close to a policeman with the resprayed car he will recognize the license plate and begin to chase you

 

Better Assassinations from Lester

-Small background information on the person (not just "KILL TARGET", instead "Take out the juror before the trial in the morning" or "Take out the Triad leader and destroy their plane before the take off")

-Different assassination scenarios with high or low payouts depending on difficulty (kill him before the time runs out, kill him and get out with one bullet, take out him and his crew, etc)

 

Collectibles that you can sell

-Packets of coke you can pick up from sketchy drug deals across SA, deliver them to Gerald's apartment for a lump sum

-Information regarding drug raids you can pick up from Police gatherings, or the station, that you deliver to Trevor's for a lump sum

-Prototype military technology or sensitive information that you can pick up from Fort Zancudo, military caravans, or merryweather gatherings across SA that you deliver to Madrazo for a lump sum

-Enemies you booted the collectible from will chase you until delivery

 

Vigilante Work

-Stop by the police station to get a mini-mission that pays 1-8k, depending on difficulty

 

What do you think?

i think money trucks just shoud get an update for sure were they carry always 10 000, and yea, maybe a money truck convoy woudnt hurt either

and the HPV's shoud simply be always high end vehicles that are sold to simeon for the price of 1/10th their value, so the payout is generaly higher then 10 000 and can reach 100 000(youre proposal on them woud be a bit to much

on all other things you said, totaly agree

Spot on OP, Spot on.

[NubcakeVII]

These are such great ideas.

 

How hasn't Rockstar thought of these yet?
