Business Knowledge Base - Gun Running

Before the Boost, Research would take 5 minutes to complete one progress so 5 hours for a single project.

4.25 minutes with one upgrade, 3.5 minutes fully upgraded.

[Jokersmile92]

I don't think that's right, dude. It doesn't take me that long to complete a research. There are other youtubers claiming 3hrs and 30 minutes, which is about right to me when I timed so that I could use the fast-track glitch.

Yeah, that's with the Boost.

Is it possible to get raided a 2nd time, after a first raid but before selling all stock?

 

EDIT:

Yes, it's possible.

After close to 60 sells, I finally had supplies delivered during a sell run. I was under the impression that right before you press the sell stock button and order supplies for 75k, that you wouldn't receive them during the sell mission. Totally blew that idea out of the water. Usually I can make a sell in 10 min or less, but this time it took all the 30 min. Just one of them days.

Bunker supplies must have different code than MC business supplies. I've noticed a few differences. Bunker supplies are delivered during sell missions, while watching TV, and usually immediately after returning from a 10+ minute long contact mission. MC business supplies are not delivered during business sell missions, while watching TV, and take 10 minutes to be delivered after a long contact mission.

[Jasmyn]

So the afk method...

 

1 - Assign staff to Research

2 - Fill up the supplies

3 - Wait a few minutes to be able to buy supplies

4 - Order supplies for 15k

5 - Retire from SecureServ

6 - Start the mission: Time to get away

7 - Drive to the office

8 - Watch TV in the office and AFK

9 - Quit the mission and the supplies will be delivered

 

Okay, I'm testing this and I'm currently at step 8...

 

How much time does the Research need to use up all the supplies (fully upgraded) ?

 

Four hours or so maybe? Considering that currently there's a 25% speed bonus for Research?

 

Oh, and do I need to turn OFF the TV in order to get the staff working on the research?

^ Test failed due someone pulled out the cd fron the ps when I wasn't home, causing gta to crash and not saving the progress :-(

Really noticed a bad glitch here lately. Its totally random. Sometimes I'll go afk in my office after ordering supplies for bunker and cocain or just one or the other. The supplies arrive but after couple hours of tv watching idle I go back to one or the other or even sometimes both and no stock has been produced. Totally random. Players in lobby, sometimes alone, doesnt matter......weird....

 

Maybe somebody got an idea?

Don't you know stock doesn't produce anymore while watching TV? This was patched like two months ago. This is why everyone watches the security cameras at their bunkers or any one of the biker businesses now.

 

I've seen people say the TV method works while you're in a contact mission though so you can try that. Doesn't work in freeroam though.

Nope, first I heard of tv afk being patched. Strange. But....as long as the security cameras work...thanks for the heads up

Hi folks. Has something happened with the requirements around getting raided or am I misremembering?

 

As I recall, Panda informed us the reqs were a half full supply of stock. However I was just helping a friend when his coke factory got raided. I've got a screen shot, he was only at 1 bar of supplies so I'm really confused here.

 

Any thoughts?

Biker Business is different, I was talking about the Bunker.

50 stock or more expose you to raids.

Thank you, i was sure i had misunderstood something. Appreciate the clarification.

[StormerBoy]

What value does the product have to reach for 2 or more vehicles? Also, 3 or more vehicles? Thanks

[Rafae]

Anything above 175k will be more than one vehicle.

 

Under 350k will still be two but when it hits 350k or over it'll be three vehicles until 525k stock. From that point to max stock it'll always be four vehicles unless you get lucky and get three Insurgents/Marshalls or two Phantom Wedges. Not that common though so be prepared ahead of time.

Do we get more time with 3 or 4 vehicles?

[Rafae]

Yes

 

Goes up to 20 for three vehicles and 30 for four vehicles IIRC.

 

It stays at 15 for one/two vehicles though.

I see, Thanks Rafae.

 

Is it possible to get 2 or more insurgent pickups that needs to be defended at each site?

[Rafae]

I see, Thanks Rafae.

Yep, three is the max I've gotten. Not sure if there's one with four.

Ugh I hate that one, I'll stick to one bar one truck.

 

Thanks again

You don't get more time. The 1-3 insurgents with Merryweather attacks at each drop is always 30 minutes. All other sales, 1-4 vehicles, are always 15 minutes.

[StormerBoy]

Thanks all.

 

The Merryweather insurgent sale is second only to post op vans for mc businesses. Such an unnecessary mission for us to have to complete.

[Hécate-II]

Thanks all.

In my opinion the only worthy missions are the PU Insurgents with unique drop offs...

 

I never get the black matte personal Insurgents when selling from 189 to 300. I guess its only available for 500k sales or something.

[IceDree]

Thanks all.

And the stupid thing gets stuck almost everywhere & I have to push it with the Brickade to get it unstuck, I'm beginning to feel like I'm commanding The Admiral Kuznetsov & the Brickade is that tug that follows her everywhere she goes.

 

I was looking forward to the IPUC, but this sale mission made hate it, I dislike it even more every time I have to deliver guns in it.

[Gridl0k]

I've wedged the Dune FAV into some pretty uncomfortable places but how are you getting an insurgent stuck??

 

The f*cking Merryweather troops driving halfway to paleto because they spawned somewhere retarded are what I hate about that sale.

[StormerBoy]

I actually sold 140k today and was given two insurgents (single drop off, no AI and must drive close together to stay off radar one). Perhaps if my associate hadn't have been in the bunker with me, it would have given me one?

[Gridl0k]

^ Pretty much, yeah. That mission only starts if you have 2+ in the org.

 

Is it just me or did they change the Merryweather convoy target vehicle from an insurgent to an APC? So much slower Maybe it's random, but I only ever had insurgents and now I've had 2 APCs in a row.

[StormerBoy]

I had APC for that mission on day one.
