CEO success rates and stats

[Setzaroth]

I'm curious how everyone is fairing with their CEO crate grinding. I'm seeing posts ranging from the extremely satisfied and generally happy, to the righteous indignation of the perpetually furious who can't seem to avoid those pesky jets.

 

So where do you stand?

 

After a day or so of stocking up/selling, here are my stats:

 

[Grumpy-Goat-]

Im sitting at 100% success rate and several million in sales.

[Smooth Longsack]

I'd like to know how these stats effect players. I know my associates get a 60% pay bonus. Can this pay go higher? Are there different trophies?

[JAKEBAB]

I'm at 100% since i usually am in a lobby on my own. I wonder if the stock market will come and people will invest in companies depending on there success rate? Doubt only a shower thought anyways.

[Big_Show]

CEO missions are a waste of time, I've sold enough to fill my office with cash and goods, I'm only going to bother grabbing crates if no one is free for pacific standard, or I'm in a quite lobby or there's just nothing else to do. Payout for a 111 crate sale needs to be more than around 2.22mil, should be at least double that to make it worth your while.

 

dropped a few collections in the first hour of DLC mayhem and a friend got a truck stuck during a sale missions. otherwise missions have been very easy captures, just highly repetitive and a massive grind

I've been enjoying it so far although can someone please tell me what pays better and why: 1 crate at a time until the warehouse is full or 3 crates at a time until the warehouse is full?

 

Also, I got call from my assistant saying that there is something that might interest me in the goods buy option so I went to the warehouse computer and nothing special was there, what gives?

3 is faster, but i guess 1 would pay better so long as you didnt care about time and used little ammo, as it's a lot cheaper than 3. I've sold a couple of 111 garages at around 2.22 mil all stocked with the 3 create option.

 

To be honest, the effort to deliver 3 option is the same as the 1 crate option, except for the missions where the crates are split up.

 

I'd recommend going the 3 crate option, as its going to fill your garage a lot faster and times money in my world ;-)

Your assistant pointed you to the office computer (buying stuff), not to the warehouse computer (selling stuff).

1 crate will give you more profit, but it takes FOREVER to fill a warehouse.

 

The special item crates have to be purchased like any other crate from the main terminal in your office.

We gotta play sometime! I'm on your friends list on PSN. Also in VS.

 

OT: I'll be posting my stats soon.

The 3 crate method generally yields more profit per hour, especially compared to 1 crate at a time, BUT you'll increase your profit per hour going 1 at a time because of the special items coming up more often.

 

Here's some rough math, assuming you're solo: time to collect 3 crates on average, and go back to office to launch again, approx 10 min, so that's 6 per hour. 3 crates times 6, let's call it 18 per hour. You spent 108 k and let's say you sell them each for 15k, 270, you make roughly 160k per hour.

 

1 at a time, you can do that roughly 10 times per hour. 10 x 2 is 20k, spent 20k, sell at 15k each, make 130k per hour, roughly. BUT the special items are a profit of about 110k, and come up approx each 25-35 runs. So they'll come up about twice as often if you do one crate at a time, increasing your profit each hour about 25k more (110/4 or 110/2). Reality is that neither is a big money earner, but 3 is more profitable while you do a little more work.

 

Both are a rip off considering I invested $15m to start.

Currently repaying my crew with hosts, and too lazy to snap the photo and post it lol. Sitting on 2 warehouses, 11 mill in sales, 99% success on pick ups, 100% on sales. Btw, my office floor is basically a slush of cash around now haha. Everywhere you walk, you're kicking money around. I do wish my ammo, narcotics, jewels, and art/ivory would slowly grow into better displays, or start mounting around my walls.

[wangsparkinglot]

My sale success rate was going beautifully till I crashed the little f*ckin plane into a palm tree .. lol

Here is everything you could know about the costs, sell prices, profits, and rough times for selling crates.

And the "High Value" crates calls are more based on the amount of players in the lobby, not the amount. I did 42 runs in a solo lobby last night, not a call. This morning I load into a lobby with 11 people and immediately get a call about the crate.

[TwistOfLime21]

Difficulty wise, is it possible to sell cargo solo (in an empty lobby of course) or are associates needed?

No you can do them by yourself,but you will find it tough sometimes,particularly if you have to do drops with the plane the game likes to send choppers

[Karlitoz-E]

I haven't even downloaded this DLC yet, guess It's time to earn some cash

I do most missions, contact and CEO, by myself so that's reassuring. Cheers.

[badnews]

I dont need money so filled them upto see if anything happens when they are all full, nothing happens. Next I will fill them all up with only special items, each warehouse should be worth over 10 million then in theory, I want to see if it works like that in practice.

Im sitting at 100% success rate and several million in sales.

 

[theEwing1979]

I've been successful by crate collecting in empty sessions and selling small to medium orders solo or with the help of a friend. Haven't found the courage to attempt a full large warehouse sale.

 

I'm just not enjoying the process, it's just a laborious grind with very little fun. Heists kept me playing for months but I'm already growing tired of this. If I can make back the money I paid for my office and warehouse I'll be happy to call it quits.

[ZeroF0rce]

I'm at 100% since i usually am in a lobby on my own. I wonder if the stock market will come and people will invest in companies depending on there success rate? Doubt only a shower thought anyways.

 

More of an incentive to destroy other deliveries, to keep the stock low. (I don't do crates or destroy them)

 

Very interesting...

[OptiCog]

I'm sitting on a 100% myself.

[King Rossey]

At 100% , luckily I crashed a helicopter into the delivery truck and it set fire and gave me enough time to quit out of the game (because I have OCD and need 100%)

[Broblab]

its brilliant. beyond brilliant but on anything but consoles it would be a wash.

 

as you know, with any leaderboard ( the stock market included) the first 300 people will have somehow cheated to be there and thus render it useless in the first 24 hours.

 

i mean.. sure we could just ignore the highest level businesses. but still. it iwll somehow be manipulated by the masses in some way where a minority will get billions and everyone else will just be throwing pennies in a hole.
