Methods for making 4 MC business deliveries solo?

[Rickety Cricket]

Topic....From Paleto Bay, I've only been able to deliver 3 of the 4 packages when selling coke/weed etc solo....The bikes the game gives you are just not fast enough.

 

Is there a vehicle that can carry 4 bikes, or even 2? The Dump is a possibility, but it was somewhat difficult to get bikes to stay in the back of it when I tried.

 

Any help or tips would be appreciated.

Get more MC members, these missions are meant to be played with others, not by yourself.

[DJROWIENZ]

Or don't make sales with full product. Less product, less selling vehicles

[Nick1020]

If it's the Post Ops vans or Dodo delivery, good luck. The rest are possible solo but take long. I find the one with the boats the easiest.

I used to tell unhelpful people like you to f#!& off........I guess old habits die hard. I said SOLO for a reason.

Is that confirmed true? If I sell my goods at half-full, will it be 2-3 trips max?

Yeah, the Post Op deliveries are brutal....if I get those and I'm solo, I just power off. I've only ever got the 3(15) Dodo deliveries, even at full stock, which I was able to make. The boats were easy too. The Post Op and the 4 motorbike deliveries though are impossible, I think.

request a hydra after each bike drop?

Honestly you should just get some business around Grapeseed or maybe even in the city. While it is quiet and almost peaceful, Paleto is probably the worst location MC business wise

Yeah, that's what I currently do....if the Hydra appeared beside you, then it might be doable.....sadly, it does not

Yeah, I'm starting to get the feeling you are right. I wanted to spend some more time in Paleto Bay so I went all-in up there.......I still like it, but for business it just seems so far to everything. I assume the trips from a Sandy Shore/Grape seed businesses are all shorter, relatively?

 

Are the business upgrades (equipment, staff, security) transferable if I move to new location?

I have 3 businesses, Coke, Meth, Counterfeit.

 

I buy supplies at $75k each, I sell once those supplies are used and always end up with 2 vehicles. Dodo and Buzzard missions are easy, PostOp and Trash can be done comfortably provided you don't drive like a mug.

 

In an empty session I'll make about $520k so I'll be clearing about $300k profit for about 90mins work.

 

Obviously your profit increases in populated lobbies but so does the risk as you will leave the second vehicle unattended for 10+ mins.

 

This is all based on runs from Paleto Bay to LS.

[ThaSouljaCity]

Uh-huh I was the same way, had a cocaine lockup in paleto but I got tired of the long ass rides from the city and back so I had to buy the place close to the Alamo sea. Haven't done any business yet tho so I'm not sure how better is

 

And nahh you have to set up the business and buy all the upgrades all over again, which is pretty bogus

It's impossible to do more than two PO van deliveries on your own. One person can probably do three helicopter drop offs but I've never actually tried. Like others have says, Hydra to get you back to your next vehicle quick. But I think they are trying to encourage you to work as a team with others. It does warn you before you sell a large load that you will need enough members.

[DangerZ0neX]

All I got for Coke are Baggers, a single Trashmaster, a Dodo, and a Buzzard.

 

Meanwhile, my meth business is 50% Post-Op, 35% Trashmaster, 10% Bagger, and 5% Buzzard. I wouldn't mind the Trashmaster if there were no deliveries in Rockford Hills because that place is a 24/7 warground and everybody suddenly becomes friends once they see you try to sell your products.

[Parth13]

I think a lot of people have mentioned that selling at lower level of stock will get you less vehicles, like 1-1.5 bar of stock.

Hell i'm sitting on full stocks in 3 businesses since 2 days because i forgot to sell it at early state and now i'm waiting to get online to see if any of my friends are online. i only dislike the post op van, others are fairly easy to do solo, easiest of them are boat, Dodo, Buzzard as those are the only ones i ever get.

[IceDree]

I hear the best solo way is to sell at 1-1½ bars, it guarantees a single delivery vehicle.

 

Unlike CEO work, the value of your product doesn't go up when you sell in bulk. So might as well sell at 1-1½ bars & save yourself the stress...

[Locce]

I am selling from LS. I bought the most expensive business properties and going by the ratio of soloable sale missions it was money well spent. Selling early is not an efficient option since you spend too much time on sale missions for the net profit you make that way.

The Post-Op vans are just too painfully slow to have any shot at completing anything worthwhile in time, but everything else is not a problem even at full product capacity. I don't even use a Hydra to get back to the next vehicle, just my Hakuchou Drag or the delivery vehicle itself (seaplanes, helicopters and boats unless it is the Raton Canyon tour). More often than not I would not even save time with the Hydra because of the detour. The best-case scenario is propably the special weed sale mission where you have to drive a truck to the wind farm while being high as a kite and get $252k for a fun mission in around 5 minutes. Worst-case scenario, apart from the Post-Op vans mentioned above, are trash trucks from the mint in Vespucci where sometimes less than 3 minutes remain on the clock, and that location is quite unfavourable for other sale missions, too, unless it is the one with seaplanes.

Close the app and try again.

Running two businesses in the middle of the map solo (close to the clubhouse on rt 68, which is a nice cheap one and looks good for photography as well), selling at 1 to 2 bars, I've never had more than one Post Op van and mostly all successful runs. Supply runs in heavily populated lobbies aren't worth it though. You always have to go to a busy part part of the map and if successful you only get a bar of supplies. Which is only worth $15k (considering it costs $75k to completely refill if you buy supplies).

 

On a sell run in a heavily populated lobby (but the population is all killing each other in Rockford) I make over a hundred grand (coke, the weed isn't that profitable. Wish I had set up the meth lab instead) and it doesn't take that long. Spending 75k to completely refill supplies gives me a lot of sell runs, going when product is only at one bar.

[DJROWIENZ]

Selling early is not an efficient option since you spend too much time on sale missions for the net profit you make that way.

 

300k profit for less than 90mins work solo isn't efficient?

[Jenkiiii]

I agree with most people... when solo, sell a max of two bars, or risk half-an-hour of boring, life-wasting, chugging around the map in a post-op van or trashmaster.

 

It's good to have three businesses, get three bars of supplies for each, and sell at a bar-and-a-half each. I switch between coke, weed and counterfeit money. Document forgery pays too low, and meth is very slow, distant and boring.

 

If you accidentally go above 2 bars and can't find a friend or prospect to help you out - consider destroying the surplus trucks before heading out. Seriously, one post-op van is enough in this game - you still make a profit and save yourself a really boring time.

[Zoolock]

As a soloplayer I learned the hard way that selling in big shipments is a fools game. Guaranteed someone will blow up the other trucks or helicopters while i'm making the deliveries so now I sell when it hits $30,000 so I only have to make one trip & It doesn't seem to affect overall profits at all.

[nmk111]

when you get trashmasters or post op vans just find new session, only 10% loss of product. no need to power down.

3/4 bikes delivered far pays more than 4/4 near so just blow one of the bikes up if you cant make it.

also use this when going back for another vehicle-

 

[ash-274]

It depends on the type of business, but the meth lab fills slowly so it doesn't require my constant attention to make sales deliveries when it's 1-2.5 bars full.

I've had single boats, double boats, single and double bikes, Trashmasters, Buzzards, etc. and the time hasn't been an issue yet. The longest two-vehicle delivery I've had took me under 19 minutes

When you're selling to the higher price you're always going to have the mountains (and sometimes the Alamo Sea, too) between where you start and where you deliver. If it's a multi-land-vehicle delivery and you have your pick of drop locations plan your last drop-off to be strategically close to a Pegasus location for a helicopter or Hydra spawn that can quickly get you back to the next delivery vehicle.

 

If your product is 3.5-5 bars you have to choose:

• Get friends or randoms to help
• Sell within your location instead of the opposite location (less distance = less time wasted traveling)
• Sell to the opposite location and just do your best (if time expires just accept the lost product value as a cost of doing business)
• Force-close and take the 10% loss and hope you get luckier with the next sell mission

Unlike CEO crates you can't sell a portion of your inventory. It's all or none.

But unlike CEO crates there's no fiscal incentive to wait and sell large quantities. Selling 1 bar of product twice earns the same as selling 2 bars of product once and if you lose any part of the delivery (by NPCs, attacking players, or the expiring timer) you still keep the the value of what was delivered.

Good tips, thanks guys. Glad I don't have to power off the PS4 anymore ......For some reason I thought that selling at max capacity gave a $ bonus too.......I guess I'll be selling at 2 bars or less from now on. I just cannot justify re-buying all of my businesses mid-map and having to repurchase all the upgrades.

One more thing:

MTU set to 577 (or most numbers under 800) means that while you can't get help, other players can't bother your business activities either.

Basically bro. When doing the delivery solo I always fail them when doing the longer trips that earn more cash. You need at least one other mc member to ensure you'll do it successfully on the long trips.

 

However, the closer delivery thats earns you less cash is easily completed solo.

This. SO much this.

 

I bought the one in Paleto Bay because it seemed like a traditional biker gang location. And it's the worst possible one to have, because every mission spawns on the opposite side of the map from it. Do not buy it.

[ash-274]

Steal them.

Those missions aren't too difficult. I just roll my eyes if it's "chase the armored trucks" or "fistfight in the leather bar"

I had one today that the target bike spawned 20 yards from the front of the meth lab and I jogged the package back on foot to deliver it before the timer that hides me from the lobby expired

 

I'll steal, steal, steal, steal until the supplies are full, then do CEO work until it's about empty

Stealing. The more MC members you have at the time you start the stealing supplies missions you will earn more supplies. I believe if you have 4-6 MC members a single supply run stealing mission should fill out the supplies bar completely. Maybe even with just 3 MC members I am unsure.

 

Buying the supplies cuts into your overall net profits.

[Greeryboy2410]

I would just allow one full supply's worth to go through, and do that, depending on what business it is. I find this very effective for Weed, but not as much for meth. Maybe do two supplies for cocaine and meth, and sell that much. You shouldn't get more than 2 vehicles
