Devin Weston contact jobs?

[Alvarez]

Hey Slick, it's me!

 

So i would like to suggest Devin Weston as a contact job person.

 

But if i were just to suggest a series of jobs involving stealing supercars for him, that would be boring isn't it?

Because it's Devin Weston we're speaking about. The catch about his jobs is: you are required to pay up front, because D-Bag, esquire, doesn't pay money out of nowhere, but invests your money in stocks, milks the profit and gives the rest to you, including your Risk Investment, in case you haven't fail his mission.

Taking a job from Devin Weston/his secretary Molly would be a kind of challenge. The player will bet money on his success, it will be profitable, but also difficult, like driving a bomb-rigged supercar scratch-free, under time pressure and high Wanted-Level-difficult.

 

Something hardcore.

Or hunting and stopping a NPC in a supercar, withing time limit, but not killing him/her, just because Devin wants to humiliate someone.

Every completed mission would slightly increase the profit for the player, a failure will reset the bonus multiplicator and of course Molly will keep the money the player paid her - for example 50000 dollar. This won't be only a failure, but a loss at a bet.

 

You roll high on these bets.

Sometimes, the winner prize will be higher than usual - like a spike in stock value and will add a lottery element to the whole enterprise.

 

 

Now, what would you think about such a challenge?

A man who owns 17% of Merry Weather security, which by the way, we've killed many of their operatives,who also owns billions of dollars probably doesn't have time for our bullsh*t. In fact, he likely wants us dead.

This.

 

This would be great to have though. As soon as I read the thread title I was like: What a great idea!

[gunthermali]

Oscar at the McKenzie Airfield would be a good source of gta online missions. Since he's connected to Madrazzo, Martin could refer us to him. Trevor wouldn't know him yet since it's set pre-gta v. Oscar's missions in story mode feature a nice variety of enemy gangs. Certainly they could tie in the Lost trying to take over the airfield

Why can't it be like any other normal contact? Do the job, get the money?

Who said Trevor didn't know Oscar before GTA 5 events?

No.

We kill Merryweather operatives when we work for Lester and it doesn't hinder us to use their services or walk in their outpost to get our chopper.

No chance. Martin is funny and Devon is a chump.

[RoyalRedXIII]

1.) cool, Devon Weston makes sense, but remove the "bet/profit multipliers". I don't care for any correlations between my pass mission efforts and each successive time I try.

 

2.) just a thought, but how would you POSSIBLY stop a super car driver WITHOUT KILLING HIM o__O??? Lol. Sounds fine on paper but wouldn't work the way GTA is. Maybe if i could use Spider-Man, sure. But it's alredy enough trying to stop the guy with the docs in RR without killing him.

 

So it'd prolly make more sense just to make it a car retrieval mission, from a high security place, similar vibe to "Death From Above"

@Alvarez

 

You ever heard of story and gameplay segregration? Well in the context of story I am pretty sure they're pissed, however as they're the only Private Militia in the whole game they just can't outright deny you services.

[RoyalRedXIII]

Considering how extreme and extraordinary of a man Devon Weston is portrayed as (just look at his website), I think the missions from Weston could involve some dynamic(or ATLEAST different from what we have alredy) mission features, like

 

-parachuting from a heli onto the top of the maze bank building (for some odd reason .__ . Idk don't ask)

-taking a submarine to dive underwater and retrieve some artifact of some sort while fighting off bandits, and then delivering it to a merryweather escort

-maybe an actual stealth mission where you have to break into the prison in Blaine county

 

.... These are just some half baked ideas that came to mind... Not entirely sure where I was going with some of it.... But you get the picture.

Online is segregrated into multiple realities anyway.

Why would you have to do Rooftop Rumble 20 times in a row? If it were a story, you would do it for Madrazo once.

And Merryweather would come after you right after the first job for Lester.

 

The whole player character thing is separated and interwoven with endless loops and thinking about interactions between your bosses is meaningless.

 

You could accept jobs from both Johnny K and Trevor and it would be implied that your both alternative egos have done the jobs with different loyalties, in terms of gameplay however you just did two jobs.

 

So jobs for Devin are just higher paid jobs, where it is assumed that you haven't conflicted Merryweather or consorts of Devin accordingly. That's it.

You just play every common thug in Online.

I'd like to see the good ol' car delivery missions in which you can't damage the car (y'know, those missions in which the car has a health bar). I was surprised to not see any of such missions in V. Would be great to steal valuable cars and then not be allowed to damage them. It will be a real bitch, though, with the Online community

[Officer Ronson]

Well let's put it this way: Devin won't exactly pay you, nor do the shares will ever go to you. Flat out he will not pay you and he'll lie his way out of it, and part of the charm is that he can legally do so thanks to Molly. If I am going to do a job, then I'd rather get the greens flat out after I do it, not get scammed by a billionare.

[bloatedsack]

I'm holding out hope that Devin Weston hires a crew to steal a rare Italian classic car in the Hists DLC pack. It would explain the relevancy of the Casco.

[Red Lynx 23]

Maybe if we get additional heist missions after this much loved-hated update that's being worked on, then Devon Weston could become a victim of car theft. Either a prep mission, or the heist itself. He is on the list of characters I'd like to rob, along with Cris Fromage.

[wehweh01]

I was just going reiterate how funny it'd be if Devin didn't pay us for some hard as hell missions lol. I think it'd be interesting as a introductory to something bigger later. Perhaps do a mission where you simply unlock a NEW contact.

[earthrocker]

I always just imagined our characters didn't care about loyalty, like in RDR. When Marston is in Mexico, he carelessly slaughters hundreds of rebels, and then helps them fight the government. And then vice versa. Playing on both sides of the fence. I think our characters are just free-lance guys who only care about a pay day.

 

On the original topic - I always expected Devin Weston to show up in some form. Maybe even just being mentioned - like Simeon has us steal an assortment of Devin's personal cars. Or Lester needs us to kill some of Devin's associates.

If you wade through the people who can't not talk about dates, I've put some thoughts about the impending Casco and Weston via hists here.

[Heists]

There's this theory that R* might advance the time frame of Online to post story sometime in the future.

 

This is supported through the fact that each character contact that is in Online either survives the story or isn't in it.

 

This means that if R* were to move the time frame of Online it would have to fit into the cannon of the story, and as no of the Online contacts go-on to die in the story this is possible.

Adding Devin Weston wouldn't work for obvious reasons.

 

The only issue with this theory is Trevor, it isn't confirmed what ending of story mode is officially cannon, so this theory can hang in the balance.

 

Whether this theory is true or not would explain why other characters from V were not extended to Online and probably won't be in the future (unless they lived on).

 

More OT: I would like any new contact, the current ones are getting stale.

You're being ridiculous.

[Einsteinbomb]

If you thought Gerald was stingy then wait until the Devin payouts.

GTAO is six months prior to GTAV:

Martin's house in the hills is still standing.

Lamar's full of big ideas, noted in story when Franklin talks about stealing tankers.

Trevor/Ron are in Sandy Shores makin' moves with TPI.

Franklin is a nobody pulling repos for Simeon.

Michael's in retirement.

Norton was always laying low.

Weston hasn't bought stakes in Merriweather, yet.

Haines is a corrupt FIB agent infighting with IAA and doesn't have the GTAV protagonists doing his dirty work, so there might be someone else.

It would be sad if Trevor dying was the canon ending to V's story mode. But the business Ron and himself started would be under new management and renamed Cat Marston Industries.

He's a pain in the ass douchbag. If I want to work for a billionare with good jokes, I prefer Yusuf Amir for GTA TBoGT

 

[Tekno_Gecko]

I like this idea, sounds like fun to me.
Stealing a supercar and NOT killing the driver, sounds like a challenge if they're running from you and you've got a time limit.

[TheNarrative]

ANY new contact missions would be great and I feel that characters like Weston and Haines can add a bit more to GTAO
