Every type of buying run

[whywontyoulisten]

This isn't really much use, but you can drive the empty Mule with the open back doors in the Trackify missions.

I'm thinking about investing in a large warehouse and a buzzard, i have sold a small warehouse twice already and just wondering how hard it is...

[whywontyoulisten]

Still getting new selling missions, even this far into the DLC:

 

16 crates to Pacific Rim Finance from White Widow small warehouse. 2 Cubans to land at a drop off just behind the "satellite dishes" (actually a radio telescope array) near the prison. Two Lost gang Burritos, two glossy white Burritos, and a lot of enemies to shoot. For some reason, the white Burritos had disappeared when I returned with the second delivery.

Yes and yes keep it to one large though you don't need anymore just one large as close to your hq as possible and a small/medium to use to avoid the cool down timer

I've never had a plane delivery from my medium warehouse at Discount Retail Unit (Downtown Vinewood), only three Brickades, or a tug for specials; it is the furthest north of all the warehouses, so its distance from LSIA may be a contributing factor, although it's just as far from the docks. Anyone else got any theories?

I have the same one. I get LSIA ones about 75% of the time

 

Another 42 crate delivery from this warehouse, and another 3 Brickades; I guess I must be living a charmed life.

I seem to be living the same life but it's more of a curse for me becuase of how dull the brickade missions are, I actually want something different like a tug or plane.

3x Brickades...

I finally got a plane mission; it's been months since the last one. This was for a special item (film reel) sold to Old Media Enterprises from the Logistics Depot large warehouse, and I had to fly one Cuban from LSIA and land at the radio telescope array in the desert. Two lost Burritos, and plenty of gang members to shoot. I can't even remember the last time I had a non-tug mission for a special item.

Most of my rare-item(s) sales have been in Brickades

[whywontyoulisten]

I think I complained too much: now I've had two plane deliveries in a row.

[GrizzJack]

This is a very useful thread, whenever time comes for sale, i always check here and compare destination address to see what to expect. Kudos, OP.

I got a variation of a selling run that I haven't seen or read about before (so, sorry if it's well-known)

 

111 crates, I get a Titan

Fly to 5 drop zones, but only 4 appear on the map

No NPC aircraft and no altitude restrictions

After the 4 drops are made, the Assistant calls and says that "...the last drop is over a restricted area. Get ready for heavy resistance - and expect law enforcement"

It takes me over the Humane Labs parking lot. I make the drop and I get a 3-star wanted level.

Only a couple of helicopters and an assortment of cop cars spawn, but are easy to evade (even in the Titan) by following the contours of the hills and valleys on the eastern coast.

Stars fade away and I got paid.

I've had the restricted area drop before, but with Cubans I believe. Or it might have been my only Titan run; it was a while ago.

 

Edit: A search shows that other people in this thread have also had Titan/Cuban restricted area drops, but it's not been added to the OP.

^ IIRC when that happened to me I phoned Lester to finish the job.

My mistake, I must not have spotted them.

 

Added to the op, can I ask if anyone who mentioned it, had different locations for the restricted area?

 

Selling runs

 

11. Flying a Titan over drop zones, last one does not appear, at final drop, a call from assistant to say the last drop over a restricted area. (Humane Labs, Possibly other locations?) Heavy resistance and Law enforcement (a three star wanted level after making the drop)

 

[whywontyoulisten]

It's been a while (see my previous comments about a total lack of plane deliveries), but I think I've had the power station and the prison as restricted areas; there are videos of other people getting the Merryweather docks.

Just found out that if you put sticky bombs near the 3 unmarked police vehicles in an "ambush" pickup, and detonate them simultaneously, the police aren't alerted and you get no stars.

Whenever I spot the undercover vehicles I get Lester on the phone. The moment I get in the delivery vehicle I hit to remove the wanted level. It's cheaper than Sticky Bombs, and it's fun seeing the police turn their sirens on/off and drive away.

Considering the cost of stickies, it'd be more profitable to call the cops right as you enter the vehicle.... which I mostly do considering it is always the Water and Power Truck or the Rusty Camper

I'm more interested in variety and experimentation than profit these days.

I've got about $43m in revenue via crates, but maybe a profit of $16-18m, if even that. I realistically think it's maybe 12-14m. Variety would be nice; I'm only grinding crates again because of how much Bikers will cost.

[whywontyoulisten]

I just had something unusual happen: I was on my way to the Kortz Centre to pick up a 3-crater, when I saw a panel van Youga at the traffic lights. Sure enough, it contained a crate, and gave me the notification "You collected the Special Cargo vehicle."; it then started the global signal countdown, so clearly they are already in traffic long before you reach the empty van at the trigger location.

 

I still had to drive halfway up the Kortz Centre approach road before it gave me the "Someone's taking us for a ride/multiple tracker signals" and "Found it! Time to bring it home." texts, which arrived simulataneously. Everything else was normal.
