Which are the most fun contact missions I should do this week?

 

Do the Repo and Dispatch missions have a higher payout per minute than other ones?

The beauty of 2x is that you can do them all. After the introduction of communism it does not matter in terms of how much do they pay, the general rule is to complete the mission in 4-7 minutes, it's the sweet spot. The definition of fun varies, so try different approaches and try to use your toys from Half track to Thruster. Shame we can't use ballistic equipment though.

Yeah, that's one of the great things about 2X contact missions, you get a reason to play with many of your toys again, and often just frig around during the mission to try out different approaches, since you actually benefit from the delay in finishing.

The Atomizer really makes missions more fun a lot of the time as well:  "Oh that's so cute, the NPCs are in cover...BLOOP, not any more!"

Bike melee attacks don't work during contact missions but why?

Is there a reason to this deep inside the game code?

The same reason why we can't do melee attacks on a bicycle, and also in singleplayer as well.

 

R* just can't revisit old coding without breaking other stuff.

[Arrows to Athens]

NPCs really don't like it when you aim an Up-n-Atomizer at them.

Have you guys sent your feedback suggestions lately? I just have sent mine:
 

"Nerf the explosive cannons of the Lazer and Hydra - To compensate, give it countermeasures;

-Remove the Pegassi Oppressor Mk1 and Pegassi Oppressor Mk2 from the MC spawn menu - let MC Presidents spawn a free and non-weaponized Oppressor Mk1 if they own one.

-Nerf the tracking of all homing missiles, on all weaponized vehicles minus the Terrorbyte, Chernobog and AA Trailer, to the standard level like it is on a the Nagasaki Buzzard - Make it fairgame for the regular helicopter and airplanes."

 

I wish I was savy enough with coding to set up a bot that would send these suggestions everyday at least 5 times a day.

The Hydra and Lazer already have countermeasures:

That other jet, I forgot what it's called but it's small and has a rocket booster with missles, and the WWII plane for expert pilots. Also the explosive sniper + off radar and a RPG + Sticky bomb can do the job.

 

The second option makes no sense with the way freemode is.

 

I agree with the third option, but make it so the missles act the same for the same type of vehice. Ex. The rockets on a Deluxo should work the same against another Deluxo, but can't properly lock onto a regular car unless it's stationary.

When will people learn that it is better to quickly skim through the missions than to just sit around and waste time?

incorrect.

I like to run the missions with simple weapons, like pistols only or mbe smgs lol.

 

Roleplay the missions, if it's Geralds or Lamar I'll dress like a hood and only use gang weapons and so on lol.

[MaddenedGhost]

This is usually how I get out of my office, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't lol

 

 

I do this with the parachuting challenge and I got called a cheater multiple times.

For all this damn time I didn't knew that the x2 $ on Contact Missions include Simeon's new missions. The grind will be real tomorrow.... I mean, this morning. Holy sh*t, its 2:36 AM already here.

Your scenario really doesn’t compare but yeah, that sucks too...in a different way.

They are 2 different scenarios but just saying I would rather have noobs constantly dying or spending 10 minutes learning how to fly a Cargobob and having to do the whole mission on my own than having someone finish the mission with a MK2 before I have a chance to do anything. 

 

Does nobody realize there are more contact missions than just the new ones. Last few times contact missions were 2x all I could get into was Dispatch missions and now all I can get is Repo missions I really want to do some rooftop rumble, mixed up with coke and the other old fun ones.

 

Repo missions are well designed though but also poorly designed. It's great that weaponized vehicles are useless but sucks when a mission won't continue until everyone is there and I have to waste the team life killing the afk person.

[kcole4001]

I like a lot of the old contact missions, Diamonds are for Trevor, Meth'd Up, Rooftop Rumble, LS Connection, Trash Talk, plus some choice new Repo jobs.

Chopper Tail can be fun, but there are a couple of stupid ways to fail that can ruin it.

Cleaning the Cat House is always a challenge to get the last guy inside the motel when using a helo.

It's satisfying to blast missiles in through the windows until the floor starts to burn, then you can hear him yelling when he's got "nowhere to go".

I love using the Hydra for that final run at the motel. Know exactly what you're talking about.

[Volganor]

"LS Connection" is my favourite contact mission. Multi-staged missions with differing objectives rather than the usual "fetch quest" are the most fun, in my opinion. That one is even more complex than some heist setups.

 

I just wish I could play ones like Effin' Lazers and Chop Chop without needing a second person.

[Sanches]

That's my luck, but i've managed to jump out of a car and land under the wheel, while car was stationary.

 

And get a helicopter slammed on my plane after.

There's no trick, it's literally just good timing, I push the analog stick 75% forward while gliding and then parachute when I get close to the ground, I used to do it easily with the oppressor before they decided to make you go into ragdoll after you jump out of the thing.

To all you randumbs our there.  Contact missions are not the place to learn how to use the cargobob.  For Christ’s sake....

The best I’ve ever done is like 21 ft or something.  But I’ve seen people hit 10 or 12 which is pretty amazing 

[Arrows to Athens]

Um, Trevor, I think there's a bunch of sticky bombs on your window...

I've hit that before, I tried it when the challenge was live today but I haven't played this game in so long and the controls are all clunky to me so it was a struggle to hit anything lower than this.
