Farming customized Sandkings


flexcreator

Recommended Posts

^ You could farm 16 Sandkings, or more, solo in the 16 minutes between 0900 and 1700, then do some I/E work and/or headhunter etc, and come out way ahead.

 

I miss the Vinewood D2 spawn, Rockstar are such dicks sometimes.

 

Video reposted because it's easier than the OP's IMO (no f*cking around with cameras, just lift off by the green bush like I do);

 

 

 

Spawn, tracker, repeat. Or buy the nearby garages if you don't want to lose $2k on a tracker, but I much prefer the mindless and easy loop.

I've got Dubsta to this point. So I've tried both Sentinels and Dubstas and have to say that modded Sandkings are the most consistent vehicles in term of spawning in my experience.

I knew about Sandking farming but what is the idea of Sentinel/Dubsta2 farming and how do you do both? (leave links if you must)

Sentinels spawn easily enough 2200-0400(?) by Eclipse, not 100% reliable (as you cannot see the spawn) but good enough especially if you own Tinsel/Eclipse as a store.

 

I tried to find a YT but they're all 10 f*cking minutes long and covered in douche. So help yourself. Basically drive slowly from the SE corner of Tinsel up to the top road and one should spawn to the left.

 

D2 farming, look in the vehicle subforum, it's a PITA for an extra 4-5K each sale compared to the other two IMO, basically you need a D2 to spawn a D2.

 

Trackering 15-20 Sandkings in one 16 minute (0900-1700) freeroam session is the way I go. That's 250K+ when all sold.

Don't know if this helps anyone. I have the Paleto Bay house with the 6 car garage. The street is Procipio(sp?). Anyway every single time I switch sessions I can leave my house, bang a left, and there is a Sentinel XS that spawns two houses down on the right. It's always there.

I stole one from there but kept it. The closest Pegasus aircraft spawn takes me down that street. ill drive by on the way to pick up my Buzzard and think that I should take the two minutes to steal another Sentinel before I go about my business but I just never remember to

I use the same route as op in the first video but it's not necessary to look away or slow down when you approach the spawn point. I always go full speed and look at the parking lot and I just see the car spawn when I'm at a certain distance from the parking lot

Indeed. i still farm them and sell them every game day. All you need to do is drive up the road across Larry’s up to a certain point, turn around and drive back to see a blue or yellow spawn ahead.

I start Chopper Tail hard mode after I sold the first spawn, then fill up the route 68 garage and finish the mission. That’s an easy 40K in 15 mins effortless gaming. I sell the rest at the Burton LSC, calling the mechanic to deliver it as close as possible to avoid any damage.

I started farming it, actually its possible to use CEO Buzzard to speed the process. So you don't need to drive always. I also used Cargobob (a bit overkill, but I wanted to fill several garages far away...)

 

 

Everytime another Sandking will spawn if you park your insured Sandking there(screenshot, open spoiler). So just park it, get the Buzzard, deliver the new Sandking to your garage, respawn Buzzard, fly back to the insured Sandking...etc

Anyone else notice that when you take it to your garage so you don't have to pay for the tracker that it actually sells for 2K less then it normally would? I couldn't understand why the first one (that I just find and sell) would always sell for more then the ones in storage until I finally did the math. At least that was the case when I was farming some dominators a few weeks ago

There is a difference in price between Blue and Yellow. The difference is exactly 2K. Maybe that's what confused you.

 

EDIT: Ah, you are talking about Dominators. Idk then

Regarding the blue dominator, every one I sell is for $19,940

 

Regardless if I sell it direct from stealing, or from my stock garage, the price is the same

 

The price difference between the blue and yellow sandkings is $1000

 

There again, I get the same price regardless of selling direct from stealing, or from my stock garage

You always get the same sale price, but you're down $2k if you fitted the tracker at an LSC rather than by entering your garage (free).

Reading the post by everybodysolo, he doesn't

What works best for me is Sandkings and buying the tracker. Other cars may have higher sale prices but do not spawn as reliably as Sandkings do. Driving/airlifting Sandkings to garages vs buying trackers is a wash as you either pay in money or pay in wasted time.

 

Route 68 lot method: everyday at exactly 09:00 to 17:00 Sandkings will spawn every time you drive down the hill and slowly past the last bush. You can see them spawn. Now drive across the street and add a tracker and use that vehicle to spawn another. Repeat until time or garage space runs out. The last one i collect i sell for full price instead of buying tracking.

 

My strategy is to mix Sandking sales and collection in with other cool down times activities. I sometimes will have a Sandking delivered so i can spawn one to sell for full price and not sell one from storage.

Doublecheck you don't participate in a VIP / CEO / MC activity when trying to enter LSC.

I have this problem once in a while with Dubsta2s. For some bizarre reason, the game thinks your NPC vehicle is something that can't go inside LSC, like a bicycle.

 

Just overwrite or destroy them.

I learned how to do this years ago in Seawall's Thread (if you don't know what that is or who Seawall is, and you're talking about Sandkings and Dubstas then shame on you This is 2017 and Google exists)(jk but you should def look him up).

 

I always drove into the driveway of the farmhouse (same one with the bunker off Rt 68), turned around and RACED back to the used car lot across the street from LSC on 68, usually crashed what I was driving into the Sandking I was stealing (didn't mean to but I was hustling), and raced across the street to the LSC to put a tracker on. Rinse and repeat until EVERY. SPOT. IS FULL dude.

 

I kept all my empty spots filled with Sandkings until I repolaced them all at one sitting with Sultan RS's. (I forgot the Chimeras. I had a bunch of Chimeras for a while.) Then replaced them with Elegy Retro Coupes. Now Oppressors (2 p's, 2 r's, 2 o's, 2 s's, but only 1 e. Why? No one knows).

 

Stay fluffy, friends.

I've finally sat down and made a Steam Guide on the Sandking XL and made a link to this post here.

 

There are still players, old and new, who don't know about these cars.

For me it still working in free roam, I tried yesterday on my secondary account. (sorry for not recording the other attempts-tried 5 times, and it worked flawlessly-, my internet is crap it took me like 3 hours to upload)

CEO Buzzard in the vid.

No luck with any of the 3 Buzzards.

 

It works ok if I got another player in my car, then it spawns like normal in freeroam.

 

But today a freaky thing happened. I exited my bunker in the desert and drove up to Larry's, real slow, and it spawned - and stayed. I got 4-5 before they started to despawn again (my kind of normal).

 

I will never give up. As my bunker and friends properties are in the area I will always swing by Larry's hoping for a solid spawn.

fwiw here's a 100% way to spawn sentinels in Titan of a Job, more convenient for 10-car garages

Does anyone know if the spawn rate for sand kings has changed or if it's different for PC?

 

I switched to PC a few months ago and because this is my 3rd go around with the game I decided to not care about money this time and just have fun. One of the things I wanted to get back into was farming the more valuable vehicles. I was able to get the sentinels to pop up now and then. But to this day I haven't been able to get any sand kings, I have tried open lobbies, invite only, solo nothing works. I tried using different spawn routes but nothing.

 

Has the spawn been nerfed or has it always been nonexistent for PC players?
