GTA: Online Breakdown - Bikers

Ok but it still makes no sense for us to buy 75k of supplies if the most that can actually create is 60k of product in a best case scenario. That makes absoutely no sense

Selling remote nets 90k

 

 

No, it took me 75K of supplies which created 1 bar of product. That's worth 40k near or 60K far. So every time I buy supplies I make a 20% loss. Clearly something is broken.

 

I submitted a Rockstar support ticket, and was first told to do a hard console reset (lol) and when I wrote back "didn't work" they told me to uninstall the game and re-install it. As if I'm going to do that, and as if that is actually the problem!

 

Just tell them that you have now tried that. We all know it wont work anyway and then they have to do something. Tell them that a lot of other players are experiencing the same problem.

 

I hate rockstar support and their auto generated answers. Once i wrote about a problem and i got a "thank you for your suggestion on how to make the game better" responce. Then i had to ask them to actually have a real person look at my question.

So, I have been stealing supplies, and it seems like the amount I get is really random.

 

Sometimes I get 2.5 bars, sometimes 1 bar, sometimes .5 bar, sometimes nothing at all.

 

What am I supposed to get? Also the amount doesn't seem tied to the difficulty, the easiest ones have been giving me the most.

There is a good chance that it is a little broken right now but when it works you should get about 1 bar if you have to pick up a package and 2 if you get a vehicle with supplies in it. It seems to me that the vehicles where you have to be careful not to take damage will get you a little over 2 bars if you don't take damage.

Before you got 1 bar for supplys you picked up. 2 bars for vehicles.

[CosmicBuffalo]

Just shut down and restarted businesses...all had full supplies and all fully upgraded, I only buy supplies.

 

Coke 2 then 3.5 then 5, 1.5 supplies remain

Cash 2.5 then 5, .25 supplies remain

Meth 1.5 then 3.5

I don't know what the MC Contribution stat is for, I'd like to know though.

Didn't even know it existed until I read about it here.

 

StormerBoy is probablt wrong though, it seems like you do get points when president.

 

I have played very little as prospect for other MC's, just helping out frinds selling here and there.

 

Played quite a lot as president though and my points are 7529.

My current guess it has something to do with payouts for prospect at selling drugs and for mc president to know who really does something/knows stuff

 

 

They points don't seem to contribute to the payouts. I've been tracking them in the sheet listed in the OP and I've found no corelation. They only thing the points seem used for is a way for the President to judge players and assign roles. The more points, the more competent the player, the higher the rank.

 

Also, it does seem you earn lifetime points even as a President. I've spent a lot more time working the Businesses mainly because of the testing. As a result I have a much higher lifetime score than my friends who I play consistently with.

[jollythecat]

Ok.

 

So you can see other players points when recruiting?

I haven't had any prospects since before I heard about this, so I didn't look for it.

 

If this is the case the points are actually useful.

how many vehicles do I need deliver to sell a full Counterfeit warehouse of product? 3 or 4? i'm just starting this business playing alone and I would appreciate this info.

It varies.

 

It could be a single vehicle, multiple aircraft, or one duffelbag. It comes down to randomness and how many bars of product you are selling.

 

This has been my results so far selling when the business has been full:

 

Counterfeiting Breakdown

Vehicle Type/Number/Frequency/%

Dinghy/3/3/20.00%

Dodo/3/3/20.00%

Bagger/4/2/13.33%

Duffle Bag/(1 each person)/2/13.33%

Post Op Van/3/2/13.33%

Bugger/3/1/6.67%

Pounder/1/1 6.67%

Omg. I want your game. Get the post up van 40% off the time..

[Tonguegirl]

OK, I need quick advice......

 

Can I trade a fully upgraded Coke factory for a cheaper basic one and get money back, the way I can with normal properties?

 

Looking at the screen right now but don't want to end up with TWO things I can't be bothered with anymore, thanks.

[FrozenInferno]

So as a solo player I guess I shouldn't be waiting for my meth lab to fill up before making the sale, huh? I guess I got lucky the first time and got the delivery with three boats (far sale) and was able to pull it off solo with ten minutes to spare and no interference from the players in the lobby. Seeing some of the other scenarios for deliveries it looks like it could have gone much worse. My meth lab is now full of product again and I don't know if I should chance another solo sale.

Just ask some people to help.

Thank you. So the only mission with 4 car to deliver is the Bagger mission. I think I can do this with a fully upgraded Counterfeit warehouse. I just hope I don't get the Post OP Vans.

[SmokesWithCigs]

theres a resupply mission that seems to have been either scrapped or its broken. ljt tells you to get some guy who worked for another biker crew who is defecting and bring him back to the growhouse to work or something like that but when you do the mission that is not the case.

You can solo every mission with the huge glaring exception of the post-op vans. Just have a helicopter ready by your business so you can quickly fly to the airport or beach for helicopter and seaplane deliveries. Also you need to learn the short cuts for the trash truck missions. Oh and be prepared for police sting if you and delivering on a motorcycle. If you get the post-op van just quite out of GTA and restart the game. You will only lose 1/2 bar of product (takes about 1/2 hour to fill back up). Never post-op.

Shortcuts? Can you explain this please? I have my two business on Blaine County.

It's not broken, when you arrive at the place the biker crew killed the guy so you just need to kill them and take the van. If I'm not mistaken LJT explains this through text message.

After completing my primary's car collection, I logged onto my secondary for the first time in ages and found a full Coke factory with a value of $1,008,000 for the "near" delivery. Wait, what?

[brahmabull]

You can trade down but your upgrades will be gone. And you only get 50% back of the original price.

[Victory Viper]

So right now I have this info from my businesses after receiving the call from LJT telling me that I need to refill my supplies. I buy the supplies by the way. All my business are fully upgraded.

 

Coke: 1.25 bars of product

Counterfeit: 2.5 bars of product

Meth: 2 bars of product

 

Are these numbers right?

You mean you filled up your supplies completely for them and waited until they were all used up?

Because I'm not sure about the cash and the meth, but 1.25 bars (out of 5) of product for 5 bars of supplies isn't right for Coke. At least it wasn't when I was actively working on that business.

 

That's gotta be a problem with the game or they changed their minds and intentionally made supplies last much shorter with an update. And that'd be evil, considering the time OR money investment these businesses require.

Time OR money for supplies I mean. Always time for making product.

[Zombiejaeger]

Resupplying is definitely broken, at least for my Coke business. Deliver vehicle, I can see supplies go up 2 bars only to disappear instantly.

 

To get 1-1.5 supply bars I need to deliver at least 2 vehicles plus a bag.

 

Worst was going for 3 supply runs to end up with zero supplies added. Same story everytime, see supply bars go up to only disappear,3 times in a row.

 

Meth and Cash seems to be working better.

 

Edit: 4 times and this time it even went almost a bar of supplies negative.

Should be 2 bars on coke

It seems that the Trashmaster drop points are always the same for each truck. Learn pay attention to the patterns and learn the routes that involve going through alleys that the GPS won't take you down. Also, you can drop the product without slowing down. Just hold down your drop button while flooring the gas on the ones you can drive through and the trash bag will come rolling out while you keep going.

I know this have been answered already, but I'm not reading through all pages to find it. Do I have to buy the upgrades again if I buy a different coke factory?

Yes.Okay, thanks for the answer. Do you know if upgrades are discounted to?
