Bunker Upgrades - Equipment / Staff / Security

[ramb0]

Is it worth spending the money on the Bunker Equipment Upgrade, Staff Upgrade or Security Upgrade?

 

Equipment Upgrade $1,155,000

Staff Upgrade $598,500

Security Upgrade $351,000

 

Equipment and Staff upgrade both say it will speed up manufacturing and research times, while only the Equipment Upgrade also improves efficiency of supplies, meaning you don't have to resupply as often.

 

I wonder if you do both Equipment and Staff Upgrades that it will increase manufacturing and research times by two fold or not...

 

Anyone know more detail about these upgrades and think it's worth it or not?

[Rafae]

Yes yes and yes

 

Trust me you want these upgrades if you want an overall higher value of weapons manufactured

[thisispartaa]

I had the same question. Can anyone else confirm?

 

And is security upgrade necessary? Anyone raided yet?

I think I would also have this same question as I am yet to buy (or afford to buy) any of this stuff... Not enough time in the day to fully play the game and be rewarded with $$$

[BT1012]

Definitely worth it.

[Garland137]

I've only bought the staff upgrade so far and immediately saw a significant bump in production time.

[El Payaso]

After the MC businesses, you would think this would be common sense by now.

 

Yes, these upgrades are worth it.

Skip security for now if you're not planning on filling the bunker with stock (research only)

The upgrade for the security is an absolute must! I just had all my 600,000$ in stock reduced to 30k even after I went back to return the supplies, the entire amount of my supplies was gone too. I never fathomed how a bunch of mercs can somehow break into a bunker that can apparently resist a nuclear strike.

[LordLoff]

Just like on MC the seccurity is only necessary if you allow the product bar to fill

 

If you buy a whole batch of 75K supplies the product generated will not fill the production bar

 

So, specially if you play solo, you just buy the supplies and try to sell twice on that production so you never get more than 1 vehicle per sale

 

I do this on MC for about 3 months straight and NEVER got raided, forget the seccurity upgrade, you will get raided anyway if the production fills, no matter what

Equipment and staff are worth it. Don't buy supplies if you dont have them. Either way, it also gives you more for stealing supplies.

 

Security only if you fill your bunker or nearly fill it. Ive been raided everytime i let my product reach around 600k. If you sell every 150-200k no need for security. Never been raided with product so low

[Mach1bud]

I let mine fill all the way up everytime. Never been raided lol.

My bunker was raided, successfully defended the raid, returned all stock to the bunker, didn't lose any

 

I have the staff and equipment upgrades, but, i do not have security in the bunker

 

I have all three upgrades in my coke and meth businesses, they still get either raided or snitches

 

If successful on defending, all staff, product, and supplies are returned

 

If unsuccessful, you lose everything, and have to start again

 

If I play solo, I generally sell at $168k walk on money at the bunker, $84k walk in money at the coke, and around $59k walk on at the meth, these give single vehicle sales

 

I usually sell the coke from Los Santos to Blaine County, then go straight to the meth lab in Blaine County to sell back to Los Santos, get paid both ways that way

[Lonely-Martin]

Staff and Equipment are esential for quicker, bigger long term profits. Not worth it if you only bought the bunker to shut the game up, lol.

 

Security, well I did. No raids yet, but just like bikers and crates, I'm never a CEO/MC pres with supplies building while out and about. I start at the laptop, and retire before leaving after deliveries.

 

But security became ideal as for that poxy reearch. I used them to go idle towards the end... Well, officially I watched others in the game gong in and out of the same bunker, and watched the staff to be sure they ain't stealing any leftovers, lol.

 

But it's of no financial gain, raids are impossible to get if you're smart about your game. I of course use CEO/MC options out and about, but my money making/supply runs were in mind, simply if said business has sh*t going, I make do with Pegasus/my skills...

 

Win some, lose some. But the products safe, lol. Business first and all...

[derek0514]

Upgrades a must. I buy supplies.

[AgentChaos84]

I skipped the security upgrade for the upgrade but only got raided once and recovered it successfully.

Anyone how know much stock I can fill up before I get 2 vehicles for selling mission?

I do $168k walk in money, gives $252k for a distance sale

 

Some say it is $175k walk in, but, i have had 2 vehicles at that

[Chang]

I am the security, therefore I neverings buy it. Yeah, u'll be raided but can be controlled if ya do business right.

 

I Chang

Definitely, Equipment and Staff are very useful and you can get back those money in less than 10 solo deliveries, while the production will have a permanent boost.

 

I made more than 20m with the bunker alone, now I steal supplies (I buy it sometimes but I enjoy stealing missions) and sell them when they reach approximately 160/165k. The maximum for selling solo is 170k, which becomes 255k by selling in Los Santos. With these upgrades it should take almost 3 hours. Plus, I always risk with a delivery in a crowded/full lobby, so I can even make nearly 80k more (you can also hire a friend to help you against eventual griefer).

 

Security upgrade is useful just to watch cameras so you can AFK without being kicked out. I found the personal quarter/accomodation more useful because you can spawn directly there and it's also cheaper.

[Bentleyman624]

I have both the staff, and security upgrades! They are worth it. With this being business week, Im set to make $1,100,000 (have $75,000 in my bunker) and I will buy the equitrment upgrade!

[Guest]

I had the same question. Can anyone else confirm?

 

And is security upgrade necessary? Anyone raided yet?

I got raided on like my second or third wave of building up supplies, where I had to go to a go group of enemies guarding a truck at the docks, and then I had to drive said slow ass truck all the way back to my bunker or risk losing all my stock. I was like "screw going through that again" and promptly bought the upgrade. Trust me, it's worth it just to make sure that doesn't happen. Edited May 13, 2018 by Guest

Bunker without Staff and Equipment is counter productive. At the moment Bunkers arent able to be raided as its been disabled from the recent update so I would hold off on the security upgrade.
