The office garage transfers over to the new office, but how about the custom auto shop?

 

Does it transfer over or do you need to buy that again?

[Rafae]

Pretty sure that transfers over as well if the garage(s) themself transfer over.

You lose the appartment, the gunlocker, the money locker for sure.

When you play a vehicle import mission & the assistant tells you: "This vehicle has been involved in an altercation of some kind" or "This car is being held on a routine traffic stop" - the vehicle is supposed to be damaged, right? I recently noticed that if I use the bear mask before I reach the area of the target vehicle the vehicle is never damaged so I don't need to pay for a fix. I only pay $600 for the Lester service of removing the wanted status after I kill the cops & enter the car.

 

Can anyone confirm that if you use a mask in these missions the target vehicle is in perfect condition?

[jyssys]

^ The "routine traffic stop" is almost always undamaged when I get to it EXCEPT if the stupid door is missing.

[Lonely-Martin]

^ It's door disappears if you snipe too far away, but getting close to the car, kill the 2 cops, use the buzzard or Lester to lose the cops, then bingo...

[Gridl0k]

I've found missing doors come from approaching the location too quickly, since I backed off for the last 500yds I haven't had any missing.

[StormerBoy]

Why does wearing a mask prevent the door from being broken?

 

My best method for that mission is to get wanted level, remove wanted level. Then get in car and drive off. I'm sure it used to give you wanted level back if you got in car in front of cops, ie without killing the first, but not anymore.

^^ Well, if you've read any of the GTA Online patch notes over the years, you'll come across many that make you think "How on earth were those elements related?"

 

...and then, "How on earth did they find it?"

I'm confused. Are you saying that wearing a mask isn't supposed to stop the door falling off?

[DentureDynamite]

^^ I have no idea--you'll have to ask the forum member that posted about it.

 

All I'm saying is that you shouldn't be surprised if wearing a mask does (somehow) keep a car door from falling off. As seemingly unrelated as it may be.

 

Stranger things happen all the time in GTA Online...it's a very complex game with tons of variables all interacting with each other.

Thanx! I didn't knew that, but I'm thinking of relocating...

[No Use For A Name]

The garages and auto shop will transfer, but you'll lose any garage and office upgrades.

 

Also, you'll get half value for your office if you trade it in. You won't get $2 million back, you'll break even

[Alien Reaper]

Today, after more than 200 missions, got two new locations for the photo identify location missions: LSIA and the playground at del perro.

[Rafae]

I've gotten this new location near the Land Act Dam that I've never gotten before.. happened at around 450 imports or so (just above 500 now).

Wearing a mask has nothing to do with it. My characters never wear masks to these missions. The easiest way to do these particular missions is to land your cargobob a short distance away, walk to the site after calling Lester with the menu up with " remove wanted level" highlighted, just walk up to the car, wait to get stars,then press A to remove wanted level and your all set. Cops just walk away, no gunshots or damage done by gunshots.

You'll get 500K back, meaning the 2m office will cost you 1.5m. You will have to rebuy the apartment on top.

Hopefully buzzard still works w barge mission where they too far offshore to snipe. Otherwise I don't consider it doable.

1. Sticky a ped car

2. Cbob it above the non-target barge

3. Bombs away

4. Wait for fire to finish

5. Combat landing

6. Pew pew pew the other barge

7. Profit

Other offshore missions fly out in Bob, snipe them, hookup, ascend to very high, pedal to floor outrun them all way to warehouse.

Just have to say; trying to stop one of those X80 Protos (sourcing) can be a royal pain in the derriere, since you can't easily shoot the driver from the back. Even from the side it takes some pretty good aim while you're both moving.

 

Long story short, lost ~$27,000(!) last night trying to get the <expletive> thing to finally stop and back to my warehouse, thanks to kamikaze NPCs, waves of insta-spawning NPC trolls and the infernal, endless LSPD.

 

IMO, the NPC trolls especially have been buffed recently--there used to be a ~10-20(?) second break before each wave spawned--now they're literally respawned within a few seconds of each other, and of course, shoot with deadly accuracy from literally sniper range.

 

If anyone has _any_ tips on how to create happier endings in stopping that thing, I'm all ears!

Edited May 24, 2017 by DentureDynamite

[Rafae]

You just have to get your aiming right, that's pretty much all there is to it. Use an AP Pistol and shoot from a sizable distance in front of the car.

[TyrionV]

I'd never really bothered with the I/E stuff other than to source enough cars to unlock the special vehicle jobs.

 

I started reading though this thread to get an idea of what I should be doing and got to say a huge thank you to Cali and Gridlock for the amount of info they've posted, tremendous stuff! I'm up to page 40 ish now, using the cool down time between sales to catch up.

 

I had no idea about the 10/10/12 thing but have spent a bit of time today getting the warehouse sorted out and can now see how easy it is to make decent cash from this update. I'm only 6 months late to the party!!

 

Thanks to everyone for a nice positive, and profitable, thread

Oh dear! In that case, wish me luck. lol (Tried that last night, just that the X80 seems to have more metal body around the driver making it significantly more challenging).

 

Hate to admit it, but the only way I got the X80 was because it had finally stopped alongside the road and the driver was standing outside. *ahem* Didn't know they did that--I assumed they just kept driving around the map until you nailed them.

For the drivers who flee from the police, keep your distance, don't trigger the chase if you can avoid it.

 

1) You can snipe the driver of the one near the quarry from the roof of the YouTool megastore.

2) You can snipe the driver of the one in Richman from the Kortz Center hill.

3) I haven't found a sniper spot for the one near Harmony. The Cement Works is too close, going there will trigger the chase.

 

For those who are doing their little circuit races, just exit you car and use a rapid fire weapon from the front.

 

For NPC waves, drive slow with an eye for nearby cover and as soon as the red dots appear get out of the car an into the cover and waste them all.

^^ Good advice--thanks! Noted. A much better approach than (my) "land nearby in Buzzard and suffer the ensuing consequences". lol

Edited May 24, 2017 by DentureDynamite

[No Use For A Name]

Regarding the Harmony location, shoot from the street south of the sheet metal roofs near the 6-car garage

 

This area. Clear shot at the driver since the car is facing your way

 

 

RE: the circuit races. I can't stand them, especially when importing a fast car. On the Vinewood one, I'll usually call for my Brickade to block the small exit out of the track. I always call for a Shotaro and kill the driver with the sweeper shotgun. The spray often causes extra damage, but whatever. Time is money and I hate chasing them around.
