Selling Large Warehouse Solo!

[Rammer2k]

Can Rival CEO's take out the enemy NPC spawns like Buzzards, and Valkyeries? I have a friend where we're both CEO's in our own lobby. We can both do other VIP jobs, along with Crate missions at the same time. Since we get a 5% bonus for up to 9 Rivals in a lobby, we were planning on providing air support, but get that extra bonus at the same time.

Ive neen pretty lucky so far

 

3 deliveries, 3 titan drops to 10 locations.

 

First two, fly under the radar, no npcs and no players due to empty lobbies.

 

Third had 3 npc choppers. A buzzard, an anniallator and a Valk.

 

Landed and killed the buzzard at sandy shores whilst i outran the others buy flying over the mountains. The five players in the lobby didnt even bother with me.

 

Finding solo operations to be fun to be honest. Sure they can be hard but not impossible.

 

Also that tip about using the buzzard for the trackify missions is an excellent bit of advice.

[nmk111]

has anyone gotten the same delivery method 2 times in a row? if the game chooses different one after every sell mission you could sell small quantities from other warehouse until you get the one you hate and after completing it launch the big warehouse sell?

 

This seems to be true, but selling from the same warehouse has a cooldown timer. I have 5 warehouses, 3 small, 1 medium, 1 large. Had them all full, exept large which had 74 crates. Sold them all solo, alone in the same session and got a different delivery method every time. Plane delivery seems to be the riskiest, so using this tactic i didnt have to risk it on the bigger sales. (or i was just lucky, too early to tell...?)

 

1. small full- 2 trucks, used buzzard to trackify location, +244k.

2. small full- 2 cubans, 5 drops each. wasted some time to scout the first drop in a buzzard, no enemys. Last drop was inside zancudo, 3* wanted, called lester, another easy +244k.

3. large with 74 crates- 2 trucks, 5 drops each, just a short drive around city, then buzzard back to another truck and repeat. Random vip joined the session, but left shortly after, + ~1,3mil.

4. medium full- tugboat to sea, npc ambush at the docks, +735k.

5. small 1 rare item, truck to location, kill some enemys to protect the shipment after delivery, + ~125k.

6. small 15 crates- they were from the same warehouse, so it had a 30min cooldown timer. used it to buy 1 crate and did some ceo work.

so small full 30 min later- 2 cubans from lsia to satellite dishes, npc enemys at the drop. This time used hydra to scoute and take out enemys/faster travel back to another cuban, easy 244k again.

today was helping another person to sell a warehouse, deliver 2 brickades to a single location.

 

the mission would been finished in just 3 mins... but it ended abruptly as the ceo got booted from the session, losing all his cargo in the process.

 

the more i see this happening, the more motivated i get to do my sales solo.

 

talking about sales, i shall sell another warehouse by sunday.

I tried to sell a full large solo. I had to deliver in a Titan. Stop #1 was good, at stop #2, a npc Buzzard spawned and started spraying it's machine guns. Needless to say, I was shot down and lost my inventory. The pain in my heart was tremendous. My advice is not to sell alone.

OH that stinks.

 

I can give the tip that when tasked to make air drops, hop in a buzzard to scout the drop points. Apparently the enemy copters will spawn when you get close to the drop points.

i have been expecting this titan mission, i have read so many bad stories about this missions it make me anxious

I was terrified on my last run (it gave me a Titan), but there weren't any enemies.

 

I'm absolutely dreading getting the version where there are enemies.

^ Someone asked, I didn't see any answer; does the Merryweather Backup Helicopter work (and kill) in this scenario?

[whywontyoulisten]

Do the enemy choppers chase you as soon as they appear? I had a Buzzard spawn over Sandy Shores on my last delivery run, but I kept my distance until a friend could take it out, and it remained stationary over the drop point.

i heard that it distracts the enemy enough for you to make the drop and get away.

How does that even work? Getting into a private-public lobby. Thought you could only do it in public lobbies?

Well I just wait until everyone inevitably lags out and the session splits. Happens all the time for me.

 

Actually setting it up to be private? I don't think you could do that. I guess you could use a lag switch though.

If you're on PC, there's a really easy way. Go to your firewall and create rules for inbound and outbound that block UDP port 6672. It'll completely block you from playing with other people. Perez84 posted this in another thread:

Works perfectly. You'll be solo in a public lobby. Just remember to turn the rules off when you wanna play with other people again.

 

So, if I do this, will it be impossible for me to invite friends to that session?

[CarimboHanky]

^ Someone asked, I didn't see any answer; does the Merryweather Backup Helicopter work (and kill) in this scenario?

to be honest, i have seen people using the backup to defend against other players, i have never seen npc backup attacking other npc.

i have a friend that plays on MTU sessions and no, friends cannot join you no matter what.

[mmm chocolate]

I've outrun the buzzard on the titan mission, its just following behind too far to really get any good shots in.

 

it was still there when I made it to the last drop, and I had no upgrades, (not even sure if you can upgrade titan armor?)

 

i like the tip about scouting ahead with your own buzzard, thats smart. thanks.

I made my second 111-crate solo sales mission today.

Three Brickades making 5 drops, each. Aside from seemingly-random police interventions, it went without a hitch.

easy money!

[DangerZ0neX]

what's the point of buying 3 crates for 18,000 if you can buy 1 crate for 2,000?

 

I mean, yeah, it takes much longer to fill the warehouse, but does buying three crates raise the value of the crates more than buying a single one?

Faster ROI for a smaller profit to do 3 crates at a time.

The faster you can get to 111 crates, the faster they can sell for $20,000 each. Doing one crate at a time can give you up to a 10x margin, but it takes a long time and associates don't make it much faster.

its just a cash grab/time waster. going for two makes more sense.

3 crates have more value, single crates sell for like 8k and 3 crates sell for like 33-34k, also buying 3 fills the warehouse 3X quicker than buying single crates and on top of that not every buying mission involves multiple crates.

When you sell, the value of each crate is based on the number of crates you want to sell at once. Doesn't matter if you bought them one-at-a-time or three-at-a-time. (I have the price chart in another post)

The minimum is $10k and the highest is $20k PER CRATE. The difference is what you paid to get those crates. If one player buys only 1 crate per transaction and another only buys 3 per transaction and the both fill a Large warehouse then both players can sell the whole lot for $2,220,000. While the 3-crate guy will net $1,534,000 the 1-crate guy will have $1,998,000 more than he started with. But 1-crating takes a lot longer because you never get a benefit of a Cargo Vehicle making 3 crates one trip and associates don't speed up the process much.

 

It depends on your play style, time you want to involve, lobby risk, and associate availability to determine how many crates at a time is right for you; and it may vary from time to time. When I got over the 80% "raid minimum" I switched from 2-crates to 3- to have less time for the NPCs to attack.

I'm using a medium warehouse in the lingire storage south of Lombank, but I'll use your advice, thanks!

Just sold my large warehouse solo,just had to drive three trucks to the same exact area. Have to find it with that radar nonsense,yet was still extremely easy in a solo public lobby. I have video,will probably upload to my youtube later.

 

 

[Hunter]

That's the key really, you just have to be in an empty session. Any decent jet pilot will tell you, just don't even bother if they're around lol. You won't win.

 

My internet's not so great (I think they slow it down at certain times), so I can get empty sessions easily. If you're not so unlucky (or lucky, as it might be) then you might want to just use a lag switch.

[We Are Ninja]

Do the enemy choppers chase you as soon as they appear? I had a Buzzard spawn over Sandy Shores on my last delivery run, but I kept my distance until a friend could take it out, and it remained stationary over the drop point.

I had the ten-drop Titan run and I took the advice in this thread, grabbed a Buzzard and scouted ahead. There were choppers at three (or four) of the drops waiting for me. One was actually hovering stealthily inside the red signal smoke (-.-).

 

I didn't get close enough to see what kind each was, but I hit then with missles as soon as I could get a lock. None of them moved; they just hung in the air. The sky was clear, and the first one was so still in the sky that I thought it was some sort of antennae. I believe that they're "activated" solely by proximity. I'll get closer and see if they "turn on" on my next Titan run...

I've gotten 3.1m for selling a large warehosue. You receive bonuses at the end of your sale which are based on a scale of how many rival CEOs are in your session. There are perks for being in a lobby filled with rival CEOs that you don't receive when you are in an empty lobby with no competition.

From what I can figure you get $100 in bonus per crate sold per non-associate in the lobby with you, but if you really got that high a total, then the multiplier is higher.

Well there can only be 10 CEOs in a single session. The bonus scales by the amount of product being sold, and the number of rival players in the session which is on a scale. The scale really depends on the amount of product being sold. The smaller the product, the smaller the bonus. Basically, the bonus is dependent on how much you are risking.

I already know that the number of crates being sold is one variable in the formula. It's the formula, itself, I'm trying to crack.

How much profile will one make off selling all your warehouse goods?
