Should i buy a Buzzard or Supercar ?

[elfoam]

For Supercar top speed and not far away on a circuit just get a Massacro race car, cheap and very fast.

[Alvarez]

Why not both?

The buzzard pays for itself after a couple hours of missions, then you can earn money quickly and then buy yourself a nice car. I am however one of the few people to be killed by their own buzzard, before you judge me i was very drunk.

Lol dude, that was awesome !

[Hondaslayer]

Are you a CEO yet?

 

I would drop the coin on becoming a CEO first (skip the warehouse, you can add that later) Grind some VIP work / contact missions etc... then buy the Buzzard. CEO opens up many avenues for making money a lot faster. Once you have the Buzzard you can then buy a warehouse or two (two warehouses allows you to buy the buy wait time by buying for a different warehouse)

[Bluelyon]

Buy the buzzard. Or the super.

Whatever you like more.

[Kushology]

Buzzard can let him buy 60 supers if he really wanted.. A super will do what? Go fast?

[Nacho Z]

Give a man a car and he can go for a drive but teach a man to Buzzard and he will have garages full of fish, sorry cars.

[OptiCog]

Buzzard. You can then start an organization and be able to summon it anytime, anywhere for free in a similar fashion as the mechanic. Can't do that with any other chopper. And when I say "similar fashion", I mean it will spawn next to you as well.

[JoeBoneless]

Buzzard is an absolute must have

[CaliMeatWagon]

To the OP, I would purchase items in this order, CEO Office, Buzzard, Sports Car, Super Car.

 

And here is why.

 

Grinding missions like you are, the most you'll mathematically be able to make is ~114K an hour if your grinding them solo. Once you have a CEO office you can grind those missions and make ~176K an hour. There are plenty of free Buzzards to steal around the map until you can recover the $1M and buy your own.

And my suggestion for buy a Sports car first is because even after 3 years it remains the most balanced class in terms of racing. There are multiple cars in the Sports Class that allow you to be competitive with the top of the class. While with Super cars, there is only a couple that would be worth having if you're truly trying to be competitive.

 

it depends for what.

1.7 mil....you could buy a competitive super with just half that money and have a chance to win races in the most raced class ingame

the buzzard...great for regular missions, sh*tty for anything else

also i assume you do not have your own buisnes yet or even 1 milion extra to become ceo, so a buzzard outside regular missions is not really handy....if you do, then it could be useful for ceo missions which still pay less then regular missions.

 

That is complete and utter bullsh*t.

 

Waiting 15 minutes for the full payout on contact missions gets you ~$1,666 a minute.

Spending 4 minutes in the missions gets you ~$9K or ~$2,250 a minute.

Piracy Prevention gets you $30K in 10 minutes or $3,000 a minute.

Sightseer gets you $23K in 6 minutes or $3,833 a minute.

Headhunter gets you $21K in 5 minutes or $4,200 a minute.

Running Headhunter and Sightseer back to back gets you $44K in 15 minutes or $2,933 a minute.

 

So how again does CEO work pay less than missions?

 

^^ I use Pegasus as a backup for when my CEO Buzzard starts smoking. Comes in handy; I try to fly as close as I can to the nearest known Pegasus point, or look for "natural" Buzzard spawn points like the top of NOOSE HQ, various LSPD locations, etc.

 

I do the opposite. I stay in my Pegasus Buzzard and use my CEO for emergencies. Finish the CEO Work, then swap back to my Pegasus one.

[Drip God]

Why not buy both? If you can't afford both buy a buzzard and use the buzzard to scrape some super car money up

Edited October 23, 2016 by SosaMann

[TaylorTheCreator]

Buy a Supercar, a Buzzard is useful but its handling isn't so good. I recommend buying a Savage instead of a buzzard.

[Kushology]

Yeah, sorry, no. If I had to restart and had the option to buy either, Buzzard would be my go-to attack helicopter. Sure, the Savage can spam rockets and everything but it's weak and not as agile as the Buzzard and the Buzzard can be spawned on the spot as CEO.

Haha doing Sightseer a lot I've run into my own tail rotor after landing at least three times.

 

And to the guy who says it handles bad. Wtf are you smoking. This thing handles like a dream. I wish the Hydra handled like a buzzard.

Would you mind to elaborate ? I'm currently grinding Check Out Time mission for 10500 per 5 min/ 20100 per 15 min if i'm waiting + doing anything else, is there some VIP work that pay more ? i'm interested to become CEO first if there is one.

Wow Sightseer and Headhunter pay that much ? but can it be done solo and is the objective of that mission hard ? ps: i have armored kuruma so i got enough protection for mission

sorry for bad english

I can never promise i actually will be able to finish said mission unless i have the absolute garanty i will be alone in the lobby.

 

Also...there are cooldowns between said missions.

While in regular missions...there are like 5 that are somewhat hard...the rest you could do easely without even getting close to death

[Forza Harrd]

I'm still working out that whole Pegasus vs CEO Buzzard thing. I'll never forget the first time I tried to start a contact mission while I was still in the air in my buzzard (due to the cooldown after Headhunter). Nothing like flying in a helicopter when it suddenly vanishes and leaves you with just a parachute. Not cool when you're flying below skyscraper level already. And that was in my Pegasus one.

 

Last night I called my pegasus spawn while I was flying my ceo buzzard, landed next to the pegasus, had both in sight, started Blow Up III and both helicopters were gone after the cutscene. So I call Pegasus again and it spawns at the helipad at the hospital (long way from where I was). And you can't vip spawn anything in a contact mission.

 

But still, contact missions are a blast (pun only slightly intended) in a Buzzard. Trashtalk pays good and is super fun in a Buzzard.

[Gridl0k]

fwiw it's good to get in the habit of using your Peg Buzzard when doing CEO work, even if you pay $3k for it from the receptionist, because then when it dies you can instantly spawn a CEO one with no cooldown.

[Illusive Prime]

Buzzard. If you are doing missions especially getting supply's for your Biker business, a Buzzard will help you out big time as enemies will be super accurate.

I'm gonna write this on a sticky note so I don't forget.

[Razor440]

Get a car, but something edgy.

 

• Invetero Coquette Classic
• Imponte Dukes (if you transferred from PS3/X360)
• Pegassi Infernus
• Bravado Verlierer
• Declasse Mamba
• Albany Roosevelt
• Albany Virgo
• Imponte Nightshade
• Karin Futo GT

Just get anything that will suprise your friends.

Okay, so let's look at this.

$9,5K 5 Min $21K Headhunter

$9,5K 5 Min Cooldown

$9.5K 5 Min $23K Sightseer

$9.5K 5 Min $21K Headhunter

$9.5K 5 Min Cooldown

$9.5K 5 Min $23K Sightseer

$9.5K 5 Min $21K Headhunter

$9.5K 5 Min Cooldown

$9.5K 5 Min $23K Sightseer

$9.5K 5 Min $21K Headhunter

$9.5K 5 Min Cooldown

$9.5K 5 Min $23K Sightseer

$114K 60 Min $176K

 

 

Missions can be done with randoms, CEO Work can be done in private lobbies. So either way, you can make money peacefully or with Randumbs.

 

The biggest advantage with CEO work (besides the fact that I make 50%+ more) is that I don't have to deal with loading screens, I can continuously use the same Buzzard for hours, and I don't have to spend any money on ammo.

 

Now if you prefer to make your money by grinding missions, then go right ahead, I'm not going to stop you. But don't come in here trying to tell me they are more profitable. Because they're not, and I'm not going to be fooled. If you haven't seen them already, the links in my Sig should give you an idea on what it is I do with this game. #GTAFinancialAdvisor

yea but like said, you are not considering cool downs right ?

Sure grinding the exact same mission is gonna cost loads of time, but if you just continue random mission after random mission, the loading time should be less then 2 minutes last time i checked

 

also legit question, arent some of those jobs paying out more in a full lobby then when alone ?

 

Sorry, been a long time since i bothered with those things.

 

edit: if randoms are in missions...not sure how it is on other consoles, but on pc it actually seems they do not destroy sh*t anymore like they STILL do on ps3...so they are way less a pain in the ass then randoms in freeroam intended to kill you

 

i would say hiring random associates is handly...but...no...i rather have one after me in a jet

^^^^ this (edit: I was agreeing with CaliMeatWagon but I typed too slow)

 

I was playing headhunter, then doing a contact mission, then sightseer and then headhunter, but I realized the contact missions were taking too long and not making enough money. And the cooldown for me seems to be less than five minutes from HH to SS. So I made more money today by just skipping the contact missions and waiting out the cooldown.

I only do HH in a full lobby for the thrill, not for the money. Because I've never completed it in a full lobby.
