Almost certainly not.

 

T2 shareholders gotta eat.

 

 

So is this the final Gtav dlc?

-blah-

 

Regardless, it’s not optional. If you’re buying a bunker, you’re buying a MOC. Wish I could trade that useless Yacht in.

 

 

Keep your Yacht, it's just a symbol of wealth and maybe while waiting manufacture, go into your hot tub

 

Play around with the boats could kill time too

Yesterday I bought a bunker, upgraded it, then decided to change to a different bunker location. I got a warning about losing my research, supplies and stock, but (without warning) I also lost ALL MY BUNKER UPGRADES! Personal quarters, transportation, shooting gallery and gun locker $1,590,000. Equipment upgrades $1,155,000. Staff upgrade $598,500. Security upgrade $351,000. That's $3,694,000 that I just had to repurchase!!! ☹

Did you really think you could change locations and still have upgrades transfer over?

Why not? You can't move staff or equipment? When you switch apartments do you lose all your cars?

[Gridl0k]

BTW - I've been playing as MC instead of CEO for the first time ever, because the Return PV thingy is very very useful.

 

You can also have up to 7 associates for sales etc, rather than 3.

 

So yeah bear that in mind.

No but when you switch offices/executive garages you lose all your upgrades as well as with clubhouses/biker businesses, vehicle warehouses etc.

 

Thought people knew this by now

GTA: Buyer's Remorse

 

Srsly tho, measure twice cut once. Took me 2 minutes to decide where to buy (Smoke Tree Rd, by the CCO3 spawn), but I'll likely never move.

what vehicles can the anti aircraft gun trailer attach to i've tried a few non seem to work

The Sadler should automatically come attached to it when you order it from Pegasus

 

The Nightshark (Baby Insurgent) can haul it but it's not out yet

Calling Pegasus doesn't give me the option and it's just in my bunker with no truck!

[Gridl0k]

It's not Pegasus, it's in your Vehicles menu all by itself.

 

"Request AA Trailer"

 

Will come with an unmodifiable Sadler.

 

Can be Cargobobbed

^ Right

 

Forget to mention that bit, not Pegasus indeed

So, you know if you lose the upgrades research (weapons upgrades, ammo...) and the rewards from the gun locker?

[jyssys]

So how long does it take to research something if you don't fast track it?

[anarquista_duval]

If I buy a Vapid Sadler, upgrade and customize it, will it be that delivered when I request the trailer via interaction menu, like it happens with my CEO vehicle Gallivanter Baller?

 

Seems like R* mixed all the previous DLC's in this one plus guns upgrades.

It's all kinda new right now, feeling like a kid in Christmas night

[aFinn]

So how long does it take to research something if you don't fast track it?

I don't know what the actual number would be because I lost patience. I had all staff (fully upgraded) work on researching and after about 4 or 5 hours it wasn't filled, maybe 3/4 full so I started Fast Tracking them.

I got the Farmhouse bunker with all upgrades and options and I pay 8400 for daily staff costs.

What happens if you stop being a CEO and you go do other stuff for a while? Does that halt it?

Nope

 

You're free to do whatever, as long as you're logged into Online. Stock and research will not be disturbed.

Even if you launch a job? Launching a job puts mc production on hold

[enjoythekilling]

How do i fast track everything? The option is grayed out for me. I read it costs 10 mill. I want to do this.

[KyleCyrilNaylor]

Do your staff research weapons upgrades and vehicle upgrades if you go out of the lobby and do missions/jobs etc or do you have to stay in the lobby and have to be a registered CEO or MC?

I have no idea.

[KyleCyrilNaylor]

I was looking for this. All I can say so far is that once your research bar goes up a tiny bit you can fast track. As soon as you have fast tracked a project you have to wait for the bar to go up a tiny bit again. You can't just keep fast tracking upgrades. Just leave the bunker and wait a couple minutes then go back inside

[Gridl0k]

Start research (with all staff)

 

1. When the green progress bar appears, you can Fast Track for $225k.

2. Quit out the laptop

3. Go to 1

 

I did the shooting range challenges in between, or ate, or sh*tposted here.

 

Seems to be 4-5m before the green appears. Took me about 3h, I reckon. Didn't have to resupply at all.

Okay. Will do. Thanks

Great! Thanks for that answer.

How do you buy ammo for your weapons. I can't buy it through the interaction menu.

You can't buy MKII ammo from the interaction menu.. only through your MOC

 

 

this took a while to register tbh lol

[Gridl0k]

FWIW my numbers are based on having fully upgraded the bunker.

[ciel]

I wanna make back at least half of what I spent on this update before I even consider fast tracking. Almost 2/45 lol

I posted this in a new thread and thought it would be good to post here as well.

I left my game on and tracked how much product was generated every 10 minutes. NOTE: I have all the upgrades and my staff were assigned to manufacturing only.

1:00 pm - $490,000

1:10 pm - $504,000

1:20 pm - $511,000

1:30 pm - $525,000

1:40 pm - $532,000

1:50 pm - $539,000

2:00 pm - $553,000

3:00 pm - $595,000

4:00 pm - $658,000

5:00 pm - $700,000

As you can see, the trend was $7,000, $14,000, $7,000, $14,000 and so on and so forth.

In an hour, I was able to generate $63,000 worth of product.

I left it on again and tracked over a period of one hour (2 - 3 pm) without the 10 minute checks. From 2 to 3 pm, I generated $42,000 worth of product as shown above.

I left it on again and tracked another hour (3 - 4 pm). This time it generated $63,000 worth of product again.

I tracked again between 4 and 5 pm and as shown above, it generated $42,000 worth of product.

I think it's fair to say there's a pattern.

I just did my delivery with 7 people in my MC, There were Savages, Buzzards and Merryweather Mesa's chasing us.

 

I did the Los Santos delivery for the £1mill+ option. We had to deliver 3 Insurgents, and we then had a trailered 50. cal gunner + driver, a Hydra and a Buzzard defending the convoy, and even then it was pretty chaotic, but really fun!

 

EDIT: I got $1,071,000, which i guess was because there was another person not in the MC in the session so i got a tiny bonus?

OK. I guess I need to figure out what's the max value for 1 vehicle mission... or have buddies

 

What's the time limit for that 1m sell mission? 15 minutes? 30 minutes?

With all upgrades selling at about 1/5th of product bar (far sale option just over 199k) I've only got 1 sale vehicle on a 15min timer so far.

[Stormingz]

Far sale option of almost 500k for me was a single vehicle sale, I'd say the stock bar was roughly 40% filled, 15min timer too.

[Jo1{er]

Noticed during piracy prevention, when sighting through sniper scope the boat is bobbing now so the reticle moves around. Not sure if this DLC, changed that tho

[fryday]

I´m on it right now, testing how fast is the research without fast tracking (fully upgraded bunker):

 

Here my first results:

 

3 Minutes: Bar beginn to fill, Fast track option avaiable for 225.000

24 minutes: bar at 12%, still 225.000 FT

40 minutes: bar at 18 %, still 225.000 FT

around 42 minutes: bar at around 20 %, FT option now 180.000

 

now another question: yesterday my daily costs (CEO) were around 9000 dollars. today, I only had to pay 1700 dollars (my old daily price before the update) is something patched?
