GTA: Online Breakdown - Bikers

[nido997]

I just have some questions here : I m planing to start a coke Business soon . but I think i ll only take the security update , as I´m actually not needing money right now (i just want to play the game , but of course make a decent profit of it ).

l m a lone wolf most of the time : so how many product bars require a single vehicle for the livery? (i m assuming 2 , right ? ) , and how high is the chance of getting raid if your business only have 2 full bars (without getting the security update ) ?

oh BTW , seeing the half naked males in the coke business freaks me out loool is there any way not to see them around ? loool

Does anyone know how long it takes for the supplies to arrive if you buy them?

It's always best to have some kind of aerial vehicle waiting for you outside your business when you start a selling mission. I forgot to have my Hydra outside, ended up with the 3 Dodos as a selling mission, and well ... It was a lot closer than I would've liked:

I own all five of the most expensive businesses. I can only get 4/5 supplies bought in that ten minutes. I like to buy at the $15k level and then retire my mc. I'm sure you've read this here but if you leave the mc before the supplies arrive, don't restart the mc til enough time elapsed for the businesses to have utilized all the supplies. When you restart the mc,the 15k you spent will fully stock your biz.

Just a quick question. When u sell a warehouse shipment does the money get distributed to biker members or just the owner? Also if it only goes to the owner, is there anyway to distributed to others in the club?

Even with security upgraded, I was virtually raided non stop with just three active businesses. It'll eventually happen to u too.

It seems that three or more bars will start to give you three vehicle missions. That's what I've read in this thread, but never seen anyone confirming that. About the upgrades, I have no idea whether it's really worth, in my coke business I only have the other two, and these are really worth. About the male NPCs, "only two" are naked :-) (although I only have the girls in my memory, so I might be wrong...).

From my experience 1.5 bar or 84k lower right corner value of coke should give you just one vehicle for delivery. And I might not take security upgrade if I always keep product supplies at low level . Getting raided is also part of the game, so you better get raided on some point if you want to play the game thoroughly.

That second calculation sounds a lot closer to what I would have thought it would be. Does it take into account the costs of running the businesses?

 

I agree completely about which way I would prefer to grind money. Mixing MC and CEO work gives you at least 30 different mini missions to go on. Grinding a heist gives you only 5.

 

None of the figures account for operating costs (ammo, expenses, Pegasus vehicles, etc). Not even the Heist numbers. The numbers are just the gross income.

 

Edit: I just did some quick numbers and with my daily operating costs it comes out to ~$35K an hour.

 

Wait, that can't be right. I've still not gotten my number fromDocument Forgery daily upkeep, but I know all the other businesses combined cost up to 27K every ingame day (48 minutes) Maybe Document Forgery costs 3K in upkeep fully upgraded to round it up. It's just that when you do a supply/sell mission for one busiess, you do not pay upkeep for it should the salary payment happen during the mission.

 

Unless you're adding other property upkeep (Yacht, CEO Office) or calculating it by the actual hour, it's a different thing.

 

 

That is my total expenses for the hour. My math was something like 29,000 x (60/48)

 

Just a quick question. When u sell a warehouse shipment does the money get distributed to biker members or just the owner? Also if it only goes to the owner, is there anyway to distributed to others in the club?

 

The President gets paid in full, based on the success of the sales mission, the club members get some random percentage that we haven't found the pattern for. Just like other activities, their money does not come out of your pocket.

[Vanquished]

I failed my cocaine delivery at just 3 bars, and right after I delivered the 4th package, I noticed that there was no marked path on the GPS... I eventually ran of out time with just 1 package remaining, although I still managed to make roughly $210k.

 

Has anyone experienced this bug before?

I have found that fully upgraded, Coke business uses 1 bar of supply every 25 minutes in real time. Every 30 minutes it creates one product bar. In this case, it means it takes 5 hours to fully fill, utilizing 12 bars of supply in the process of being completely full. If you get on every 25*5(number of minutes per supply bar depletion and number of supply bars) =125 minutes, the supply bar will go from completely full to completely empty. Thus, if you were to buy all supply, you would spend 225,000 for the first Coke business fill, and upon selling the product in full, would earn 420,000 out of location. Subtract the 225,000 and you get 195,000 profit. From this, subtract the daily costs of the Coke business(let's say $3500) and you net $173,000 every 5 hours of gameplay, completely passively minus buying supplies every 2 hours and 5 minutes and doing the sell mission.

I'm pretty sure it uses 12.5 bars of supplies. Not that it's that much of a difference but it's just nice to have the exact numbers.

Hmm mine is full and still has 3 bars left in the supply bar. I let mine run completely empty before refilling, that is quite interesting.... How many times have you filled your business?

When you say refilling do you mean by stealing or buying? Because I started out with a completely filled supply, waited until I was absolutely sure all was gone and then bought new supplies so it was filled completely again. I did that once more and then 12.5 bars were gone

[Wesyeed]

Please add that road captain must pay out 1000 for any vehicle he calls. I thought it was free based on this thread... nawt free.

[Schumy7]

Today my meth lab got attacked by cops. Whdn i got there i was killed in a second when i tryed to get out if my car. Jeez.

Now the cops have shut it down. Have to do the setup mission again.

 

Out.

I haven't suffered a raid yet on either my warehouses or MC businesses. What kind of police presence is there when you arrive on scene? Couple of cops or complete LSPD army?

[Schumy7]

Didnt see much because is was dead in a sec.

But i saw some vans and helicopters. And they are verry accurate.

 

Supplys are still there but your stock is ceased and the crew captured.

When i did the setup mission again,all is back except the stock you had offcourse. And the crew arrived after 10min.

Well, then I guess I'll be calling for my Savage when I get a raid notification.

Usually a police chopper and about 10 people on the ground. After clearing them out you will have to chase a police van and take it back to your business.

[jollythecat]

Yes, 3 cops in the heli (take the heli out first) and 7 cops on the ground.

Bomb them and land, call for your insurgent and chase after the police van.

 

Ram that van off the road, it uses it's sirens so it wont stop at red lights like the police van in crate missions.

You need to stop it by ramming it into a wall or something.

 

If you don't have a buzzard/savage/hydra/insurgent, defending against police will be hard.

I just chase the van on a bike with the new shotgun ready. It doesn't shoot back so it's not that big a problem.

[jollythecat]

Only problem is when you crash your bike, lol.

 

Also the van have bulletproof windows, so insurgent is a better way imo.

It already spawn pretty far away. If you have to wait for your insurgent to spawn then it's even furter away and then you are in a slower vehicle. With the new automatic shotgun aimed at the side window i have them taken out in seconds.

[DangerZ0neX]

Considering to buy the coke business in the Alamo Sea to be the sister business of my Senora Desert meth lab, and I want to ask a question about product and sales.

 

Is it worth it to sell the product when it's full and switch sessions if I ever get the stupid vans, or is it better if I just sell them below 1.5 bars of product like what I'm doing now?

[CaliMeatWagon]

Out.

 

Don't rush into the middle of the action next time. If you stop half a block to a block away, you can snipe everybody out. It's actually really easy without calling in armored vehicles or Pegasus vehicles.

When I reach the van the majority of the time it had just been in an accident. I ride up the center line on my motorcycle, and shoot the driver out the driver window with the street sweeper. Easy-peasy done.

[EkaSwede]

Well, this is funny.

 

So I got the supply mission "Kill dudes, get flares and get para dropped supply" both located in the same area, El Burro Heights. The second time I didn't have to throw the flare since it hadn't despawned yet from the previous run so the package came down pretty soon after I had killed all those Vagos losers.
