This is really weird. I now get cops each time I arrive on scene to steal a car. 2 stars just by triggering the checkpoint or coming near a car/getting spotted by NPCs. I don`t recall getting cops before on each and every source mission.

 

Try approaching with your weapon holstered. I'm not sure on this but noticed the change too.

Hello, I have a question.

 

So right now I have 10 standard and 10 mid range cars. I'm only receiving High-end because I filled the Standard and Mid Range slots of vehicles. My question is can I fill the rest of the warehouse (20 vehicles) with only High end vehicles or at some point I'll receive more standard and mid range cars? Also can I change my vehicle warehouse with vehicles stored?

 

English is not my native language, sorry in advance if anyone find confusing my questions.

It will be a hassle for 33rd - 40th. You will get RANDOM range vehicles after 32nd. You don't have to filled it to full IMO

 

You need to empty (sell all the cars) the warehouse before trading vehicle warehouse.

You can fill your warehouse with all 12 toprange cars until the method breaks.

So you cant fill it completly but you can fill up to 32 cars.

FWIW

 

30 cars = 75%

31 cars = 78%

32 cars = 80%

 

So when using office PC, consider 32 (80%) full, not 40. That's 12 Top Ends to sell so plenty to run on.

 

The easiest way to guarantee Top End after 32 is to steal them off other players

 

You can only store the originals, so hit players returning to their base, not on their way to a sale. Hint: Blind bend + Brickade

 

I'm currently working on having all 36 Top End cars in my warehouse at once but this may well take forever given the method.

I keep 63% stocked, which means I am usually only sourcing/selling cars I like to drive. Keep the roosevelt, mamba, tyrus and ztype always in there, and you never have to deal with them, never going above top range.

 

p.s. I like driving the tyrus, but it is a bitch to p/u with bob for some reason.

Yeah for a second I was like wait.. one doesn't fit amongst those cars lol good you cleared it up.

[JSwartz0181]

Question for anyone who may have more opportunities to try this out themselves than I do: With the Speed bomb sourcing mission, does the speed only count when the car is on the ground? What if, hypothetically, you had a friend in the session with a cargobob. If they were to hook on to your car while you were at speed, and you kept on the gas as if you were on the ground, would the bomb go off? Or does the game track speed in such as way that you could literally not do anything while in the air, but since you're moving on the map, you're at speed, and thus the bomb doesn't go off? I did sort of test this out doing a stunt jump, and while I was in the air, the speed didn't register as changing until I landed. Just makes me wonder.

When not in a solo public lobby, I'm in one with just a friend or two, each doing their own thing (to eliminate the hostile AI on the export missions), and that was just something I thought of. It's just the opportunities aren't common, and the guys that I play with, shall we say, aren't quite the pilot I am, and may not be able to hook on to a moving target! But maybe there are others out there who have tried this, or could more easily test it out. Just curious.

Car Collection Profits

 

Needs updating

 

We gonna update it?

Because I sourced all collection cars and deduced that you need 7 hrs and 2-4 people to sell every collection for a total of 2.4 million.

7 real-time hours as in 2-5 min for the selling mission followed by 30-50min of f*cking around, followed by another selling mission.

Edited January 31, 2017 by --V--

[Gridl0k]

^ Sometimes the collection goes to Paleto Bay and sometimes it goes to Vinewood hills, so that can vary a lot.

 

Edit - well, not a lot, but an hour perhaps out of 7. Ignoring your employees, aren't you better off sourcing and selling 4 Top Ends every 40 mins?

Ignoring your employees, aren't you better off sourcing and selling 4 Top Ends every 40 mins?

You still pay 80k for modifications to have 320k profit.

You don't pay on collection cars so 3 Top Range cars in "Uninsurable" (X80 Proto, T20 and Osiris) are worth 335k with 35k Collection Bonus for your associates.

However, "Molten Metal" consisting of 2 Standard 1 Top and 1 Mid range cars (Alpha, Reaper, Massacro and Zentorno) are worth 270k with 50k Collection bonus for your associates.

 

So if you sell 32 Top Range cars every 50min*, for 7hrs that'll get you 2,5 mil and some change.

So it's basically the same, considering you'll need to do 10 collection sales for 7 hours (420min) and 8 Top Range sales for 6hrs and 40min (400min), so the point I'm trying to reach is:

32 collection cars are worth more than 32 top range cars. wait, that can't be right.

Did I deduce this right?

 

8 selling missions: 32 cars * (100k per car - 20k for mods) = 2.560.000

32 cars; 10 collections: 335k + 385k + 100k + 175k + 175k + 237k + 225k + 300k + 237k + 220k = 2.400.000

 

huh, guess I calculated it wrong.

What is the best vehicle warehouse to buy? Right now I have the warehouse on La Mesa but I don't like it too much and I was thinking about buying the vehicle warehouse on Murrieta Heights. What do you guys think?

I have Le Mesa and don't have any reason to move anywhere else, it's right off the highway and I guess I'm just used to it now. If you join a CEO friendly crew like I have you don't have to worry about getting trolled by campers.

[Geisterfaust]

I'm currently at Elysian island. This place is underrated, I can say. Access via railway makes it unique (you can drive cars from Paleto bay there via railways only hitting the road once), cargobob spawns nearby for sell missions, several approaches which makes it harder to ambush you. People are really bad at that part of the map, so learn it, know railway entrances and you're golden. I'm yet to meet anyone around here even in a full session. What's else? There is literally nothing around there to attract players, so if you're using it and you see that someone is going there too, you will be sure they're going for you. Good thing is that they're probably going to get lost, area is extremely tricky to navigate.

La Puerta. Easy acces from all directions, close to vespucci helipads and easy to get to from my Lombank office.

Can someone please confirm that Vehicle Warehouses has independent cooldowns?

I was planning to get a second one to sell cars faster.

[Gridl0k]

You can only own one.

[Geisterfaust]

What's the point of using cargobob if the hook is glitchy? I was never fond of Bob, so guys, explain please.

[Gridl0k]

^ In a solo lobby it works fine 99.9% of the time, and makes for quick steal/steal/sell cycles that evade pursuit.

Thanks! Got Bob for that. Any new tricks to get solo on XB1? I used to block ports back in the day

Edited February 1, 2017 by hei3enberg

Either pull your internet cable from your router for 6-8s, or start with your xbox on wifi then plug in ethernet when you want the lobby to split, or start and complete a playlist, restart it, then quit the lobby.

[Geisterfaust]

I'll try playlist thing, byt everything else never worked for me. Wi-fi trick only kicks me out of XB live and router thing is loading me back into full lobby. PC is really easier in that way, netlimiter all the way. I'll try port blocking again, thanks. Probably, my router is too fast for the tricks or I'm just doing something wrong.

[TheFroggmann]

 

Anyone found a way to do the auto meet and the photo shoots without triggering the chase waves?

 

 

´No, and the game does not give a hint that it is possible. Same for the Cargo Bob and Time Trial missions. (On a 4 min time trial I came in in a time of 3 min and hopped it helps if your are that fast, but nope, they are always comming. Leaving you only the fight option, since you don't have a bob to escape it.)

 

 

The point to point one is easy to work around. A fully upgraded armored Kuruma can beat the time by at least 40 seconds.

Drive to location, flank the guy and shotgun him once he gets mouthy.

Get back into the Kuruma and get to the bad guy activation spot (next to the rocks just shy of the road sign for the lighthouse mission, just shy of the bridge in the Paleto cove mission. Sorry don't have a landmark yet on sandy shores, I've only had that one once.) and park it.

Run or "hitch" a ride back to the car, get in it and drive near the Kuruma. Park the car away from the road and run to your Kuruma. Take out the waves of punks then enjoy your leisurely drive home.

What is the better option? Build a car collection comprised of standard, mid and high range to export to specific sellers, or just export four high range cars?

The playlist method is literally fool proof. You will occasionally get a "failed to host job" message, if you happen to restart during cloud issues. But, just do the playlist again.

I step out from finishing collections a while ago , especially after "owning all low & medium range cars" trick ...plus I´m a lone wolf most of the time , and ppl don´ t want to join my CEO org. anymore (cause of the payout , maybe).

but if you really care about the collections (when you´re doing the trick mentioned before ), there are 2 high range collections ( the 1st and the last one on the collections´ list) , you can try to collect them . the 20 to 50 k collection bonus is not a big deal imo....

I find asking people to help sell some cars works well. 20-50k just for 3 mins work ain't bad.

[Gridl0k]

Trouble is if you sell all collections you'll be collecting standard- and mid-range cars afterwards so long run I think it's best just to keep everything Top.

 

Of course there are 2 and 3 car collections that are just Top, so you can sell those when completed.
