Tips for beginner CEO?

[afriendlyreddot]

I do not have access to millions of dollars in GTAO so unfortunately when new DLC's come out buying all the things is not an option. However, with this new one I splurged a little and bought myself an office. I also have one small garage which is currently full and my question is, do you have any tips on how to sell it safely and quickly while solo'ing? I do not have a jet or any helicopters, just a super car and a vestra.

 

I tried it once only to be blasted to bits by attack choppers so naturally I quit out of the game to save my behind -___-

 

Any help greatly appreciated!

You can try finding a new session, until you get into one with less than 10 ppl. I do this regularly, only takes like 4 tries. Or you try off-peak times, like late nights or early mornings where there's less traffic. Other than that the deliveries are very random so idk any tips on how to complete it quickly.

Yeah I noticed that empty lobby or ones with a few other CEOs are more manageable. Kind of takes away from the "Oh [email protected]*" factor of online though. Regardless I completed my first 240k sale via tugboat and now feel like an absolute boss, this update was indeed expensive but so far I really enjoy what it has brought to the game.

My number one piece of advice: Get yourself a Buzzard asap. As a VIP/CEO you can call it to your current location instantly at any time, and it makes VIP work and many crate runs much, MUCH faster, safer, more direct.

like IamCourtney said , buzzard is vital if you choose to buy medium-large crates alone . with ownership of buzzard , you can put more buzzard at same time in one session or other helicopter ( one is from VIP ability and other one is requested via office )

 

it might be best start with small warehouses first , because the bigger the warehouse , the more you lose when that warehouse is robbed

 

sometimes , the delivery vehicles has its advantage , like the new custom rumpo has bullet-resistant shield , police transporter has barred windows with bulletproof capability almost equal as armored kuruma , securicar provides extreme resistance to sticky bombs and plow through roadblock easily . though a vehicle like journey must be not missed , because you can tell your associate stand up on the roof and act like a gunner without a trouble ( either he's using minigun as counter to armored kurumas , combat MG to access the auto-aim or even homing launcher doubles as S.A.M )

 

the valkyrie piloted by thieves are difficult to get close because they uses auto-aim on gunner seat and unlike buzzard's auto-aim , they are more accurate . my suggestion is use a vehicle that can climb up mountain with ease and prepare sniper rifle or homing launcher

 

free-aim lobby usually has least amount of players in one session

When you are ready to sell, simply keep hitting "Find a New GTA Session" until you land in an empty lobby. Can take several tries. As long as you are alone, or with one other person, the lobby will generally stay empty for a long time, (hours). Once you have four people in a lobby, randoms will start dropping in regularly, one or two at a time. Once you have five or more people in a lobby, it quickly becomes a deluge of randoms.

 

Much as it pains me to deprive griefers of lulz, after putting several hours into filling a warehouse, I'm not about to lose it all to some Level 37's guided missile. Find one friend who is also ready to sell, find an empty lobby as above, have your friend join you, and take turns doing your sales, working for each other in turn. If you plan to continue buying, you should really invest in a Buzzard. It's the one essential tool for these buying missions, (and defending your warehouse). If you need money, do Heists. Taking turns working for one another is also a quicker way to do buying.

 

You mention trying to solo this, so let me also say that developing good friends in this game is essential. It's very difficult to accomplish anything with no-mic-randoms, perhaps even harder soloing, and rarely a pleasure. You should do this stuff with friends. If you don't have goods friends to call upon yet, try finding people who:

 

1.) have a mic, and use it,

2.) are easy to cooperate with, and

3.) are reasonably competent players, (they should at least be trying).

 

 

Generally, the players you meet while you're online will often be on at the same times you are, so you can hook up with them again. All the best people I've met, I've met in Survival, (and some in Races), but any type of gameplay where some amount of cooperation is needed will help you find people to friend. People who work with you in Survivals or Heists, and people who are trying to avoid crashing you in Races, are what you want to look for. Avoid people who can't stay focused, or who try to cowboy missions, (take off on their own, ignoring other players). The work will go by faster, and be a lot less irritating.

This and buy the armored baller, also a few clicks away, spawns right in front of you. When you need to escape a certain situation, this is the safest and fastest way, people always wanna shoot your buzzard down..

I also bought the armored cognscetto or whatever its name, so i can choose this one if the other armored car is already wrecked, by switching between the two you always get a fresh armored car in good shape.

I've been in an empty lobby all night doing ceo missions. Thats the key. Empty lobby. I filled up 2 warehouses totaling 32 crates. Then sold all of it. I used a helicopter from the flight school and one of my cars as needed. You have to be adaptive. But it can be done solo. Sometimes time is a factor, so use the helicopter when time is an issue. But, when i factor in the time spent vs money made i think i make just as much doing regular missions. Kind of a toss up considering the investment.

Thanks for all the responses and sorry for just noticing them but I have gotten the hang of it over the past few weeks, with help from you guys and just playing

 

I don't know why but I kind of like how creative not owning a buzzard or hydra makes you become when playing in free roam, not to say those who do are wrong but that's just how I am used to playing by now. Granted it slows me down but when I log on these days it's mostly for fun and enjoyment so time doesn't bother me too much.

 

I had an Armored Schaefer but started realizing it was making me careless so I sold it for more ammo...

yes, here are some tipps:

That's the main thing a Buzzard does - speed up the process. Also, if you suddenly have to defend your warehouse, you'll be able to reach the thieves before they disappear off the map with your crates. Good to have when you need it.
