How do you get money in GTA Online?

[Fish_head]

I cheated a couple of times, just a couple mind. But the proceeds of those misdemeanours put my bank balance into 10 digits. And my gta life has been gravy ever since

VIP and missions. Selling sultans also.

 

Can make a small fortune every time you play. If I sit for two hours and play I make 250K

 

Which is 5.5-6 million a month, add dailies (if rockstar don't f*ck you on them) and you are looking at 7-8.5 million a month minus expenditure.

 

That's mid grinding though. You can do close to half a million a day if you really grind.

 

you can make over 700k if you grind it hardcore through the day.

 

 

You can make ~$1M in:

~8.5 hours grinding missions solo on hard

~5.5 hours grinding Headhunter and Sightseer

~3-4.5 hours grinding the PacStand Heist

 

Personally, if I'm going to grind I do Headhunter/Sightseer with the odd "Rare Vehicle" sale if I remember to grab one during a cool down. I can do this solo, or with friends and I can do this in a private lobby. Also, it's easy enough to where when I'm doing it solo, I watch Netflix.

 

And people say it's hard to make money in this game.

Started with contact missions because it was the only reliable way for me it seemed (at the time of course, was in 2013). Ranked up to well over 300 with just contact missions.

 

Now it's all vip/ceo work. If i time it right I can run:

 

2 vip jobs then 1 challenge then 1 crate run (could be 1, 2, 3 crates doesn't matter but only 1 run) and then the cooldown should be good to start over 2 vip jobs then 1 challenge then 1 crate run. 2 vip jobs 1 challenge 1 crate run. Repeat.

 

Sometimes the cooldowns are funny but if done right there is maybe 1, 5 minute cooldown I have to wait for at the start of the first cycle, no more if done right after the 1 cooldown.

 

Also occasionally I'll sell an npc car for around 15k but I don't have any stocked anymore and only do it occasionally, I used to do it more but not as much these days to busy working the vip ceo work. The blue/yellow Sentinel xs(?) Around eclipse tower.

 

(Money isn't hard to come by, it's just very time consuming.)

Making a lot of money off of these slipstream races. They're 20k a pop for every win

[J-Scott-D]

Lots of solo stuff. Contact missions, selling Ballers and custom Rat Loaders, gang attacks, robbing the occasional 24/7 store.

 

I've been playing for less than 4 months and haven't burnt myself out on the old content yet.

i voted heists other then that survival mode.

[POWER TRIPPING STAFF]

Used to grind alot even while glitching sometimes because my car addiction was and still is very severe.

The bank Heist is the best way to make quick and easy money consistently cheesing. But it requires a team and i didn't had 4 of my heist buddies online at the same time so lone wolf CEO was what i did selling up to 20mil overall until the wild swap character glitch appeared. Now i am definitely retired from anything but fun.

 

Ps: i said i was retired in this forum from grinding like 5 times these 2 years...my car addiction had me through ups and downs financially, being completely broke and having to sell my least favorites to pay for my newests "-just need to sell one last car to pay for this new one, i swear its the last one" until i had nothing and then grind and anxiously waiting for the next money glitch to happen while on withdraw syndrome. But this swap character glitch was huge i made over 50mil with it, im pretty sure this retirement is the last one i swear.

Bit of this, a bit of that.

Mostly do CEO/VIP/Biker stuff.

While also mugging the occasional AFKer, penalty for going AFK in freeroam. I'll happily take 10 k from you as long as you're here, I mug 3000-8000's too as you ALWAYS net 10 k off them.

Rob stores when on the way to my office or business/clubhouse as you insta-lose the heat going inside

Sell Ballers/Gang cars/Dubsta 2's if I see them

Sell Simeon cars so the cops f*ck off if I get in a car he wants

Do Dailies daily

Do the occasional Heist grinding

I can't do contact missions anymore..... people kick me cause of my level.

And I join Adversary modes when double money if I haven't tried them yet, or they pay damn good like Entourage. Slipstream pays good but it took us 20 MINUTES to win one match earlier and all we got was 40 k, not worth it..............only stayed because I didn't want BS points added to the kicked points, but if you get a good time for Slipstream, it's damn good pay.
