Buy 2 lots of supplies, and quick join a heist. 50/50 you'll get Fleeca Job, often the finale.

Fully upgraded both businesses and bought supplies (as it appears that these objectives will be a thing going forward, l may as well make a profit from it).

 

Took me 9 attempts, to find a heist I was able to join without being kicked, dropped due to lag or not actually a finale. Of the 9, only 2 were finales, most were setup missions for prison break. I never voluntarily left a setup though, so I helped in 2 of those. The rest were drops or kicks.

 

The entire process took 2.5 hours.

I should add, I have actually done a setup for my heist and then left it. Just paying for replay and not doing a setup made me lose the heist sometimes.

Have you done the setups, or only the initial cutscene?

 

 

I have Finale.

 

Other thing it might be, are you setting Remain Host to Off and Matchmaking to Open in Online > Options?

Tried that, didn't work. Maybe it only works for you because you have the finale up? I only bothered to do one setup to secure the heist invite.

I was wondering if you get those "do a supply run for bussiness xy" even when you don't own business xy. If so, it would be downright stupid by R, as those daily objectives should be aiming at new players, imo.

people have reported getting this indeed. Also: modify a mk2 weapon (while they don't own a weapon workshop)

R* hopes they will buy that business or workshop to complete their daily objectives.

Wait, what did I hear? You're out of money and you can't buy the business/weapon workshop? Shark card$$$...

 

In case you still didn't know, everything Rockstar ever does is about selling shark cards, they don't usually care about the user experience.

Yesterday I got extremely lucky with the heist finale objective: I quick joined a heist in my phone and landed on a Pac Standard Finale. Had two lvl 50 players on the team so it got me worried, but the unbelievable happened: we got it done on our first try, no restarts.

"modify a mk2 weapon"

Spend at least 40k to earn 30k. Classic R*

...which doesn't include the time you could have used to actually earn money without losing it.

 

Precisely why I ignore the new DOs unless they're all easily and quickly done. I can often make substantially more GTA$ just stealing NPC-modded Sentinel XSs...

I got a "complete a Doomsday Heist Setup" today and I just finished doing a setup(act 1 server farm) as a crew..Do I have to be the host to check this objective out?

 

Because if so then that's straight up bullsh*t, I'm NOT buying a facility in my 2nd account, huge waste of money.

I had objective to complete a prep, not a setup, but it worked for me as crew

It was a prep mission yesterday, not a setup mission.

 

It appears that you have to own fckn everything to complete the monthly award. But when you already own fckn everything, why even bother with DOs (maybe except if you want the award)? R-logic at its best.

Oh, prep as in the freeroam setup missions?

 

Wow that's f*cking bullsh*t, I ain't spending 1.5m in a f*cking facility just to get those 500k from the dailies award completed in a streak, that's asinine.

 

And I thought these new DOs would be adapted to what we can do without having to buy much of anything...I'd rather deal with the awful frustration of waiting for randoms to join my capture or LTS lobbies than deal with this BS.

Yes, the freemode prep missions. I started Act One (65k ...) and called 911 for an Ambulance ...

That would be too reasonable for R*, I guess.

They made the right call with make everyone having the same game mode as DO.

But totally blew it with things like "modify a MK2 weapon or "resupply the document forgery". Nobody spends millions on a business only for being able to complete a DO. That is so dumb, even for R* standards. DO would be perfect for showing newer players the variety of the game or motivate them to play the game regularly by giving them an opportunity to earn some cash and rank up. But with all those bs objectives it is next to impossible for lowlevels to even get the weekly award. Wasted opportunity No. 2421

Goddamn!  It took me nearly an hour of sitting in the screen waiting for people to join Criminal Records with me today.  I had to re-open the race twice because twice, on separate occasions, people would FINALLY join the race, only to leave the race because they noticed it was a Rally Race instead of a 1v1 race.  My DO for today was "Participate in a Rally Race".  It was the easiest win for the guy who actually stuck it out with me because it's such an easy race to win during a Rally Race that I didn't even need his directions....

Yeah, the new batch of DOs are just as bad (if not worse) than the original ones.

 

The dev(s) responsible for picking new ones put very little effort (if any) into thinking them through from the player's perspective.

If I didn't know better, I'd say the new daily objectives are designed to make players buy more businesses and properties, and maybe sell some shark cards along the way.

In order to complete all daily objectives, you need to own about every single business, weapon/vehicle workshop and what not. The reward for daily objectives one month in a row does not make up for that, so I'll pass.

To add some comments to the daily objectives discussion the new objectives are clearly SHARK based.

 

As AirWolf359 said you need to have every business just in case that objective comes up but fortunately you can work around that problem if you have friends who have said business as the objective still registers (at least it is for me).

 

However daily objectives are still very broken and inconsistent in completing. I am sure you all remember the sports objectives were removed because it did not complete and you had to do it again to register, well guess what - not fixed!

 

I had Tennis as did everyone on Tuesday and the first match I played the player quit, so I go again and then the game decides to kick me constantly when the match is trying to start and then fails to register the objective complete after it was

actually a decent game of tennis and then next match I have the player quit and suddenly the objective completes?

 

Free Mode events also are an issue, it simply says to play in a free mode event but it seems not all free mode events register (Driving Challenges in this case) and of course the ones involving Wanted Stars and also the time consuming

issue of players not joining a specific event where you need other players.

 

The whole thing that irks me about these new objectives is that they are clearly designed to try and prevent you getting a full sale from your businesses when they do an event week as the likelihood of full stock is going to be a lot lower

yet despite this we still have the "exploits" over on the glitching forum for getting money through glitches.

 

Whilst R* never said much on daily objectives I was of the impression that the changes were made to try and bring new variety but in fact they have made it harder to complete objectives because of old issues/new issues. I cannot see many

actually participating in them these days, at present I am slugging it out for a new series of Objective Tips and Tricks videos but I am tired of them already and I am sure they payout probably isn't worth it in the long term.

 

After I do all these new objectives I will never touch this again unless I have to!

The payout sure wasn't worth it for me ...

@Action_Andy that does suck!

 

That's happened to me a few times in the past  which is the main reason I stopped doing these in the past but now though I guess I will have to finish the 28 days to see the bug happens to myself so I can go B&M about it!

[Action_Andy]

Update on this: I completed the monthly award with my 2nd Character as well and it happend again, so it was not a single occurrence. I got the RP and the award, but not the money.

I get the exact same error message everytime (4 times now) when I win 40k $ or higher on the Lucky Wheel (money is denied, countdown starts again, it doesn't matter when I spun the Wheel the last time, only money (40k or more) triggers the error, less money, clothing, RP, chips or cars are fine). Maybe there is a connection here, so when you get the error at the Lucky Wheel, chances are that you will get the error when completing the monthly award. I had no problems with daily and weekly awards. Platform is PC.

Have anyone tried the daily objective for today? I have to participate in Buzzer Beater. I have been in 2 now and it doesn't check it off.

You're not the only one with this issue:

 

[JoeMamma81]

Definitely just got first place in Buzzer Beater III, got back out into Freemode - NOPE!  No checkmark next to it in the Objectives.  f*ckin bullsh*t.
