Don't quote me on this, but I believe you actually lose money with Document Forgery sales if you purchase supplies.

Only if you sell local and/or don't have any upgrades. I believe a full supply bar gives you 4 bars of product, which should be about 60K+ or so. Sell far and it's 90K. Still, a 15K profit for that much work isn't worth it. I guess the gimmick about Documents is that it fills up product really fast. If only it was worth a little bit more. The second to last time we had 2x on biker business sales (barring this one) I FINALLY made back my investment in Document Forgeries. That took a long time and it's finally in the black.

Meanwhile all the other have made their money back since a long time ago. And I invested in themost expensive properties, so that's my fault, but I've grown tot he locations. Have a really good rhythm with Trash Trucks from City to Blaine. Always the same drop points for each truck so I have the route set and I can drop them on the go.

 

Again, such a shame about the Document's low profitability. I really like the concept. I imagine my online character is partly using those as means of having many identities. And all of them an idiot!

Thanks for the info!

Got $110k out of the sale, costs $75k to refill supplies lol. That's not a very good profit for the amount of time involved to fly a prop plane across San Andreas to 5 points. 

Welcome to the club! As a dedicated grinder I haven't touched anything but Coke and Meth because of exactly the same reasons: some missions are just not worth it. If we could have the option to choose the mission or at least to see what it going to be before selling and wait it out, that could have been another story. And the only reason you should not be buying the supplies is the fact that you enjoy stealing them. Same goes to sales, honestly. There's often a thin red line between grinding and enjoying the game.

Oh I know, I was just saying I understand because I happened to pay attention to how much I got paid. As always, I only do stuff I enjoy, regardless of the pay. I quite enjoyed my leisurely flight around the coast tbh.

And that's the reason I've stopped playing. I used to enjoy even the grindy things, but I don't anymore. Jokes aside, I'd rather do a 700-800 km delivery in a Euro Truck Simulator 2 than deliver the stuff again in Online. I did these deliveries so many times that I'm afraid to look at my global MC rank in the interaction menu.

During the last 2x biker event, I had leftover 100k in the Document Forgery on Elysian Island. Figured I’d sell it and just get rid of it.

 

Got Post Op vans, jumped in and drove it the 30m straight into the sea. Felt unbelievably good.

 

(But I agree, Doc Forgery’s got the nicest interior)

haha, I get the post op and think to myself, suck it up and sell the merch. I deliver a few and then blow up the vans.. it's just so demoralizing to deliver the goods. I think next time, I too will drive straight into the ocean.

What names would you choose for the weapons in this game instead of generic terms like "SMG" and "Assault Rifle"?

 

I just thought about something like "CR-15/CR-4" for the Carbine Rifle and I kind of dig it for some reason lol

Its sh*t, I refuse to even touch any Biker Business unless its a double event.

Bunker, Nightclub and Client Jobs/CEO make me enough money.

Same here, I haven't had anything to do with the MC businesses since I set them up for the nightclub, I hate the sell missions.

 

I do like some of the supply runs for them and bunker, so I do those occasionally for fun and to burn off a cooldown for another mission I want to run.

[DentureDynamite]

lol Keep wishing I knew exactly how I got these guys to duke it out without getting honked off at me (I basically ran through them):

 

 

[EkaSwede]

Well, looks like I managed to get about 2 hours on gtao to do my stuff.

Sold 4 warehouses. Nice. 17.6 mil

Went to Weed Farm to sell. Got Post Op. NO!

Went to Coke Lockup, got single truck. Double Nice. 840K

Went to Meth lab, got 3 Dodos. Eh. 714K

Went to Bunker, got 2 Dune FAVs. NEJ FÖR HELVETE!

As I load into a new session my Assistant calls me about a rare item, the Ornamental Egg. Fantastic. Sold that one along wit hthe Film Reel and Rare Pelt. Super Nice.  650K

Sold Bunker for a little over a million, 2 Marshals. Tolerable! 1 mil or so.

 

And that was all I had time for. Good money. I liked the part where my assistant got me a rare item after I cancelled my Dune FAV sale. If only we always had that happen whenever we cancelled those Post OP. Unfortunately during the Successful Titan sales my assistant told the buyers to use TOO MUCH SMOKE for their flares.

Good lord how will I explain this to the media?

 

Either way. Today was a good day. told my assistant to take the summer off. With pay. He deserved it.

I spent about five million on new Businesses the last time we had double Bikers with upgrades and I have already made my money back two fold but I still refuse to use them unless its double.

I'm more than happy with doing Client/VIP jobs, selling bunker and nightclub, stashing crates for 2X weeks (BIG payoff!) and storing I/E cars for the next bonus.

Even I/E got on my nerves when they reinstated the barge mission, so I hardly do that any more.

I haven't done hangar jobs since using my other character, way before After Hours, and then only to get the trade prices for a few planes (which I never use anyway, except for the Akula).

I always wondered what happens if you get a Titan glitch when you're selling rare items, never had it occur, maybe it doesn't glitch when you're selling these.

It's scary to think you might lose these if it does glitch out.

I think you have to bump one of them into another NPC and they'll start fighting.

If I see that mission pop up I just blow up the Cargobob and go back to the office. It ain't worth the time.

When it snows you can throw a snowball at a pedestrian's head to knock him into another pedestrian. Usually they'll start fighting each other after that. I once got the four cult members that usually stand outside the epsilon building to fight each other that way.

Since there's only like 6 or 7 rare items (too tired to check, sorry) I think it'd be impossible to even get the Titan Sale to begin with. I've only ever gotten Brickades with single drop off and Tug with RAre Items. I think there was one Cuban 800 where you had to land, but I'm not 100% sure on that one.

The thing is it's only called the 'Titan glitch' even though it does indeed apply to the Cuban sale mission as well.

I've had it once when I was only selling from a small warehouse, so it may be possible with small sales, it's just much more momentous when 111 crates are at stake.

 

The most rare items I've sold at one time was 3, I usually end up with them scattered between warehouses, so it may not be possible to glitch while selling rare items due to some small difference in the coding of the mission, but that's just a hunch.

The source missions most frequently are vehicle missions, but even that's not always true, the last one I did was the 3 helicopters where only one crate drops when you hit the right chopper, then just ignore the rest.

On my PC, haven't checked my phone, good call, will try that now.

 

On my phone, I'm still logged in.

I agree. Just the thought of an Oppressor MkIII and the outrage it would cause amuses me.

Personally I hope for a Thruster MkII

Think the Savage itself is already a Mk II, considering the new hitbox and armor buff.

I would like an increase in the range of the cannon, though.
