As for the VIP mission for the aqua technical i can't get any information about it. In the patch notes it say that that mission is for 1-4 people but when i try to choose it i get the message that i don't have enough associates.

 

I believe the special vehicle missions are all 2-4 players.

 

They are. I was talking about the VIP missions for the new vehicles.

NEED HELP

Yo guys I currently have the cheapest office looking at getting the maze bank office I'm wondering if I buy a garage for my office in the near future if I buy the 4 mil maze bank office will I keep my office garage etc ??!!

Like will my maze bank west office garage transfer to the base bank tower office garage

Nah they take away the garage and don't give your money back.

 

I thought people said that if you move offices you keep the garages (and shop, if you bought that), but you just lose all the decor options and add-ons in the office.

Sorry bro that was supposed to be a joke. You are correct lol.

Considering how many situations where you lose part of what you bought there are in this game, it's quite believable that you could lose millions of dollars' worth of garages!

[Re-Dragon-Cro]

For deliveries(solo), I park my tank at the enemy spawn/trigger point, about 2 blocks from my WH. I quickly park my cargo-veek on the sidewalk just behind/to the right of the tank. I jump in tank, absorbing the fire my cargo would and then blast each enemy 'til they stop coming. Sometimes, they spawn behind and take cover behind my cargo...hehe they think I'm stupd. I just hop out with MR and bing!...I'm on my way with 8 mins left and no more than 6-8 hundred dollar loss. My tank sat there for hours yesterday(my session was empty). A $200 Pegasus charge and 1.5 million dollars in my bank. \m/

 

BTW, RE: Cargobob lifts...I had 3 cars randomly unhook themselves and fall to an 18-21 grand repair cost..Anyone else experience this?

 

Yeah today on PS4, it was working fine yesterday but today it unhooked twice on me, 1st time wasn't bad, no damage on the vehicle or anything but the 2nd was fatal.Was doing the mission where you have to steal the car from the barge with the cargobob and as you can probably guess, it unhooked itself while I was flying over the water.Worst part is it was a top tier car.

[feiaschdada]

how much money do the assistants get when i sell one or multiple vehicles?

One extra wage if selling non collection - the collection fee if you sell a collection

[CaliMeatWagon]

I have a couple things

 

1. Has anybody filled up their warehouse completely and done a car count? For some reason I can only store 39. I have had a two cars disappear on me at the start of the sale, but it still doesn't make sense.

 

2. I seem to have found a way to force the game to constantly give you a particular range of cars. I fill up my garage and was only selling Top range cars. Every time I would source a new car, it would be Top range. So I tested it and sold a Standard and Mid range car, sourcing one afterwards. I then would get a Standard or Mid range car. Once the one I sold was replaced, it would return to sourcing Top range. The amount limit for my warehouse seems to be 12-13 for Standard and 12-13 for Mid.

 

3. Thank you peoples for your help with this. Thankfully the business aspect for this DLC isn't as "complex" as previous ones.

Can someone answer this pretty please?

 

When you start a vehicle sale, do enemies spawn as soon as you spawn outside or you got time to hook the car with the cargobob?

Time isn't an issue. Enemies spawn when you have taken the vehicle a certain distance away from the warehouse (about 750 meters I'd guess)

they spawn after hundrends of meters so you have time

It's my experience that you have enough time to hook on the car as long as you stay close to the warehouse. I don't think they spawn untill you have reached a certain distance from the warehouse.

[Dellers]

I generally like most of these missions, except when the car in question is the Roosevelt Valor. It's just too slow, so it gets rammed a lot or I get killed. Typically lose 10k both for collecting and selling it, especially because enemies shooting = civillians ramming as well. Complete nightmare picking one up far away and in a public session where NPC enemies made me crash and another player then blew the car up.

During the cooldown on selling a car as a CEO you can still collect special npc vehicles and sell them in the meantime to lsc right?

One last question: wich vehicle warehouse is worth to get between murrieta heights, la puerta and Davis if my office is maze tower?

If you mean Yellow/Blue Sentinels, Sandkings and the Dubsta2 then yes. LSC works off the 48 minute timer.

 

Also, the Rocket Voltic's VIP work Velocity has the additional objective that if you have associates, they can collect checkpoints that reduce the 10 minute timer by 20 seconds.

 

It's neat but it will lower the payout a little bit if you cut off too much time. But it's still worth it. My friend grabbed about 4-5 checkpoints or so and we got 34K

[Garland137]

I hear a lot of ire going on about the "Defuse the Bomb" mission. I hate being that guy, but I think that's one of my favourites when doing solo. No NPCs, no cops, and you can set your waypoint to your vehicle warehouse and cruise home at a steady pace.

 

Heck, sometimes the bomb was defused right before I drove into the warehouse. Keep it steady and keep the cool. Panic is the road to destruction.

 

The cars I've gotten it with have been the Tampa, Mamba and Nightshade. Is it stuck to slidy vehicles?

 

Also, I can understand this mission being a pain with warzones around, if that's the issue.

I hate it because I didn't know about it. I drove a Tampa out of a garage and got out to get in my Cargobob, and the car blew up, killing me and destroying my 'bob. Never saw a timer or anything to indicate it.

[Crafty-]

So I finally delved in to this after many misgivings. $2.5m for office and warehouse.

 

First thought is how tedious it is to set up a collection:

 

Go to office

Watch entering office animation

Watch exit elevator animation

Walk through office

Press button to sit down

Watch sit down animation

Press button to use computer

Watch log in animation

Press button to log in

Click through to start a collection

Watch standing up animation

Walk out of office to elevator

Watch enter elevator animation

Watch exit building animation

Wait for phone call

Accept phone call from assistant

Dismiss phone call

Finally the car appears on map.

 

Grab car, take it to the warehouse

 

 

Then you get another phone call from the assistant.

 

 

Ok, I can understand it doing this the first couple of times, but every single time ? its just utterly pointless and very, very dull.

 

Setting up a car collection should be available from the interaction menu, exactly the same as headhunter/sightseer, A few clicks and done - ready to go.

 

 

Moving on, what are people's experiences of getting cars that are within the collections?

I've got the cheapest warehouse and have done 21 collections, only one of those was a special collection car and its only a mid range one.

 

A friend has the $2.1m warehouse and has stolen about 50-55 cars, he's had 4 or 5 complete 3 or 4 car collections and has a few incomplete collections. I'm wondering if you get more of the special collection cars if you buy the more expensive warehouse ? I'm wondering if the more expensive warehouses might be more profitable because of the collection bonuses.

/snip

 

Absolutly. Why we can't just phone the secretary or use the interaction menu to set up a theft is absurd really.

 

As for the other questions; Warehouse price has no effect on the cars you get. If you want to sell collections, just sell off cars that aren't in collections, prioritizing the sale of top end and then mid range. Eventually the collections will come together by themselves. There's certainly an RNG element.

[Anasterian]

Is it actually more profitable to sell a full 4-car collection rather than sell them off one by one with the specialist option? (most expensive initial fee)

Ok, thanks for the confirmation on that, I guess I've just been unlucky in what cars it gives me !

There is a bonus for selling a complete collection in one go, as much as $50k depending on which collection it is. The good bit about them is that your associates also get the bonus - its easy to miss as it goes in your bank but doesn't appear on the bank transaction log on your phone. I had to record a video that captured the delivery mission to check my bank account before & after.

 

Refer to the first post in this thread, one of the spoilers contains a chart of which cars are in which collection and how much the bonus amount is.

Intresting - so far I had not once the same type of car in my warehouse. But as soon as I sell one type i source the same type quickly since the warehouse is nearly full I guessed you can only have one of every

[Vidya Cowboy]

How many garages can we own? And does selling vehicles leave cash all over your office floor like crate sales?

[sudon't]

My second sourced vehicle mission was to steal an FMJ. I got a text message, with a picture of the vehicle at an undeterminable location, and the license plate number. NO marker, no area to search, nothing. Been looking for about 30 minutes now. Unless this is a bug, this mission is a colossal pain in the ass.

I can imagine how hard it would be if you didn't recognize the landmark in the picture. It really helps if you've been playing a long time, and have been everywhere on the map. In one of these, the landmark is the sawmill. If you haven't played Survivals, there's a good chance you've never been there. I can't think of any other Mission in which that's the location. But they give a hint as to the general location, (Paleto, in this case), but it would be a mother to find if you didn't know where it was already.

[Anasterian]

Sawmill?

 

There's a Survival there. Also an Adversary Mode (something vs. Beast, idk.), a Series A setup (Series A - Sawmill). There's also a story mode mission there.

 

That said, the only hint I can really give is check what general area it is. It should say something like Sandy Shores, or LSIA. Open up the map in pause menu, search for the area with the cursor until it shows the area you want to search in. Then limit your search to that area, it should be easier that way.
