The Headquarters

[nkjellman]

I figured that since there wasn't a thread regarding this, that I'd make one.

 

So, judging by this screenshot, where do you guys think the HQ will be located?

 

 

Also, how do you think it will work? Could it be an apartment, or more like an office? Could the HQ have a garage? (I hope so because my 5th garage is stuck as 124 Popular St. Can't sell it.)

 

Could there be different interiors for the HQ? My bet is that it will only be one copied and pasted interior. Or two identical interiors like the Stilt houses.

 

Could the HQ be considered another property slot? I bet it will not count as an apartment, sorta like the yacht.

 

Do you think we will have to be VIP to access the interior? If so, that would be pretty damn stupid and I'd have to correct that.

 

Ether way, I hope modders can implement it into single player as well.

My guess is Los Santos

[Red Lynx 23]

The background looks like the Penthouse at Eclipse Towers. Just what we need, for Griefer's Palace to become an even more violent area.

[Cavot]

My guess is Los Santos

Nah man, it's gotta be Liberty City! /sarcasm

[livejoker]

My guess is Los Santos

 

 

 

 

 

That definitely looks like some sort of apartment. Or a house on really high stilts like those you see in a circus. I'm wondering how HQ's work - who can get an HQ? Can crews share an HQ? Will they do something like Forza 4 did where you can have shared vehicles so people can drive each others cars (probably not but wishful thinking is fun)? Honestly I'm not getting too excited about this because we know little to nothing about this. I will say that this update will make me go play GTA:O again. Haven't touched it in months.

 

Oh, and while not the subject matter the news about more adversary modes was a huge finger in our faces. No one wants those.

[Nah nah nah Gta 6]

Even though yachts are kind of like VIP Headquarters, I gotta have a super secret VIP HQ in Paleto Bay.

 

I can see the headquarters being used to start/plan missions and just cheaper places to meet up rather than buying a Yacht.

My guess is that there's more than one HQ locaction, but, call me crazy, through some dark magic they all look the same inside

[Con9mm]

Hopefully next to our 6th property. Or would that make it our 7th?

lol

[Coleco]

I hope they're not apartments - I'd like them to be in 'seedier' parts of LS, industrial areas, dockyards etc.

 

Though the screenshot does look like it's taken in a penthouse.

[aaronBLUEeyes]

I hope there's several locations and options and toth look and feel of these and that they can be stylized similar to Penthouses.

 

Additionally, I think it would be important for the HQs and wearhouses to be price tiered to what types of goods they can stash, and the more money the VIP has to operate on the larger the scale and ROI.

 

I also think that money and level could impact the type of gear and security features the HQ and wearhouse are able to accomodate from the mundane and simple to the hi-tech.

There will be as they said something along the lines of "from a selection of properties". But I don't doubt that they will be all the same.

Ok using my CSI knowledge I enhanced the image

 

 

enhancing it further I notice this identifiable building

 

 

I believe it to be this building

 

 

and the apartment to be this building

 

[FlacidJack]

Sounds to me like we'll be able to buy multiple warehouses and some sort of office/house/...mansion(hopefully) which we'll own collectively as an organization. If this is well implemented this could be a really nice addition IMO. I predict it'll all cost a massive amount of in-game money to start so I guess I'll have to start playing again before it drops.

Nice job. I always found that building pretty interesting (I like how the clock always coincides with the in-game time), does it have big garage doors? If it does it would make sense for pulling trucks out of there. Gonna go check it out for myself.

I don't think it's a luxury apartment in that picture. It looks more like a luxury office space. Hopefully it'll be seperate from the SecuroServ VIP program. All you need to do is purchase an office space to have permanent access to the dealing options. I'm curious if the HQ will be a seperate from the warehouse. Hopefully there'll be options to increase warehouse space as you expand your business, and options to increase security at the warehouse.

 

I'm really hoping it'll be a cross between VC Stories and Chinatown Wars. The buy/sell prices could be server side and change daily. You could buy low, and wait a few days to sell high. Unlike CW, your inventory is at risk of being raded. Do you sell now for a lower profit or risk your merchandise being lost in a raid as you wait a few dats to sell it for top dollar? If they went all out, they could make it so your warehouse could be raided by NPCs, and players even if you weren't playing. (There'd be a cap to how much can be stolen, insuring you can still make a small profit if you sell high.) If another player/npc organization successfully raids your warehouse, SecuroServ could inform you of who it was and give you the option to raid there warehouse. (This would be more exciting than if they had added the stock market. You can't just sit on a warehouse full of goods without a risk of losing potential profits.)

Yah its on the city. Around other tall buildings. Itll be here inna bit be patient

Good find! and i bet we could spawn our Pegasus Choppers on that helipad so that we can be weaponized in the air to protect the convoy as one of our choosing s of defense/offense

I think it would be cool if you could hire NPC's to protect your Warehouse which i think will be possible due to Funs finding something in the codes about defenses/offenses. it would be stupid if our 4 bodyguards are responsible for protecting the warehouse all day in freeroam which would be irritating.

 

I liked the many ideas and points you made out and Hopefully R* doesn't water down this DLC into some mediocre transport/capture event when they could have introduced us into the crime economy of Los Santos..

They should complete that f*cking construction site downtown and use that as a HQ, the snipers will lose their hiding spot from Jets but I think it's a fair trade off for something new.

Nice job. I always found that building pretty interesting (I like how the clock always coincides with the in-game time), does it have big garage doors? If it does it would make sense for pulling trucks out of there. Gonna go check it out for myself.

 

From inside that building inspector harbujahn on the case lol (i got higher up but the fairy dust ran out)

Then the angle seems off for the corner of that building. The VIP HQ would need to be further east in order to match the teaser image.

[fear_the_nut70]

This is a good thread uncovering the location with enhanced photos. It's threads like this that keep me coming back to GTAF for info.

 

Nice work!!

[nkjellman]

I don't think that is the building. Its too skinny to be an HQ.

 

I think that its this one. It seems more HQ like to me.

 

It has a parking garage. It sounds like the warehouse is attached to the HQ like your garage is attached to your apartment. Obviously the parking garage would be updated to have colisions and detail. But the wearhouse it self would probably be an interior you're teleported to.

[Shadowfennekin]

I'm kind of hoping there's one in the north...... give SOMETHING to do out there. But then there's also jets which would doom anything up north as there is absolutely NO cover.

[lll-H-I-M-lll]

@ash the building is longer at the rear im going to try again tomorrow as its not easy and im knackered that helipad has alot of room in there as well and its conjoined with that building

Edited May 10, 2016 by HARBUJAHN THE GREATEST

[nkjellman]

Here are some more shots. The building has a detailed lobby interior.

 

And here is a shot from inside which shows where the exterior of the building could match what we see in the screenshot on the Newsware.

 

Again, we only saw a little sliver of the exterior surroundings. I have a feeling that this could be the building.

Maybe they could add that anti-aircraft gun van from that mission in Story mode

You are talking about when Mendoza asked you in the Story Mode to shoot down the plane. Yes we should have that Anti-Air weapon available during Drug Trafficking. to balance it it should only be able to lock on to jets and only shoot once locked on. also it needs to have a extremely fast fire rate so that jets don't have to only rotate to avoid the missile.

It could be a good location to defend seeing as there is a ladder inside the clock tower, and maybe we could finally get an actual beach view

[Modojo]

Could be the place where Crysis mentioned.

Tried to replicate the snapshot. It's not accurate in terms of coordinates for prop placements. Although, matching the camera fov seems to make the location of the HQ questionable since I had to rotate my camera to a degree where it would not match the exact position of the teaser image. But I'm pretty sure that this will be the location.

[REXX]

I hope we'll be able to store vehicles specifically for VIP work. Vehicles that will appear on the VIP Abillities menu. At the moment, my Hijak Khamelion is my official executive car
