Does anyone know if i can just do the 42 sourcing missions now and have the new vehicles have reduces prices when they arrive or do i have to wait and do 3 mission for each new one?

 

You get Rons calls about the discount on unrealesed vehicles so i would say you can do them now.

Is it worth it to get the zancudo hangar just for the sake of being able to steal na Lazer? (Considering I have exactly 3m dollars left)

Personally yes the hanger itself is worth it i love it but you may not like it everyones different

The fact i can run (sort of) free in FZ or fly over it virtually untouched is worth the extra cash but its no different to the other hangers

Have a try of a friends is your best bet before you buy

If you want to steal the lazer just go ghost or turn cops blindeye. You will not save money in the long run because you will not do it very often. There is also a vip mission or challange that will not give you a wanted lever and there is an mc challange called whellie rider that wil do the same. Edited August 31, 2017 by DeadFish

When you steal a Lazer you will get stars even if you own a hangar there, same for stealing tanks, shooting guns, rockets, explosives... in fact I stole a Merryweather Buzzard and when I flew it into my hangar at Ft Z got two stars??? (see around 10:20 into the video).

 

But, if you are doing Gun Running bunker resupply missions... you can hop into Ft Z... and steal whatever you want... no stars? Just some good Rockstar logic???

Good. Thanks for the heads up, now if any sneaky off the radar cheap shot kills me and robs my package, I know what to do.

 

There's no such thing as a cheap kill when you're told that your cargo can be stolen. Situational awareness, it's called

 

And quitting gains you nothing so that's the cheap move here

 

 

 

 

Do this applies if they steal a I/E vehicle?

 

I once had a guy join my solo lobby, stole my sourced car, and I then re-lagged myself out. He nearly got the car to a police station, but the car was there for me to take again and take to my warehouse.

 

In his game, you quit and he got the $5k. A CEO quitting does nothing to stolen IE vehicles, which is why I was surprised R* stole my stolen cargo.

I'm fairly sure if you do 42 steal missions the drip feed vehicles will have the discounted price unlocked as soon as they are available.

 

This was my plan. But considering the prices of some of the drip feed vehicles I decided to unlock the discounts for what is available now and go back to I/E as it's more profitable solo.

 

I'll do 3 more steal missions each time we get a new vehicle to get the discount and then go back to I/E again.

Hello, Polaris.

 

No, the amount of crates you get per sourcing mission caps at four. So, going through the trouble of assembling a full eight player MC is not recommended.

I think they should of waited before making that video. Not all of the facts are out and it's clear they don't have them.

Yeah, probably. I'm still waiting for GTA Series Videos' one, that's the definitive for me.

 

Do you know if the cap at four crates at once is true, then? I'd rather it wasn't, to be honest. If they're going to make this business preferable for groups, why stop at the middle of the way?

Posted this a few pages back, but it seems important, so I'll reiterate again: if you get a steal mission where you have to drive a vehicle back with the supplies, you can now blow up the designated transport vehicle (Mule, panel van) and collect the supplies on foot. This way you can fly back instead of driving a Mule from Paleto Bay all they way to your hangar. Possibly the best new feature IMO. If you get the steal mission involving the stunt plane and knife flights, an on screen message will appear when you approach the supplies van explaining what I pointed out above.

Counterfeit Goods 50 crate bonus is 50%

[Tez2]

Bonus percent when filled with maximum supplies of the same type.

Narcotics, Medical Supplies, Chemicals = 70%

Animal, Art, Jewel = 60%

Tobacco, Goods = 50%

Thank you! You just save me a lot of time. I was seeing the pattern myself, but it is painful confirming one crate at a time.

Not sure if anyone mentioned or noticed this.

But I just now found out that 2? weapons spawns in the hangar.

The normal Sniper at walkpath in the air above the storage, and a homing rocket giving 2 per pickup above the entrance door.

And they have i think a 5 seconds respawn timer, so you can fill up a empty homing rockets in like a minute

Thing i doscovered:

 

- u can destroy vehicle that contains cargo. The vehicle will blow up but ccreates will be left on the ground untouched. Good when u are in a hurry and dont have time to drive a slow van to destination point

 

- when i was selling 10k worth product just for test i delivered 1 of 5 creates than blow up. I failed mission and got 11k for it

 

- 50 creates of diamonds give u 60% bonus so the sell is 800k

 

My question is what does the "cargo type bonus" gives/stand for in the overview section?

 

[thisispartaa]

Just to add to this:

 

Narcortics, Meds, Chemicals - 35% bonus increase per 25 crates

 

Animal, Art, Jewel - 12% bonus increase per 10 crates

 

Tobacco, Goods - 5% bonus increase per 5 crates

Counterfeit good are 750kk not 725kk

[Rafae]

Seems like it's far more profitable to sell an item in bulk rather than altogether with a couple of each.

 

I thought 500k was the max to be earned but with the bonuses on certain goods now, that's not the case anymore.

[ElchMoose]

 

Minmaxing much? I know this might not be the best paying scheme so far (or maybe we just need to know how), but is it all you care about? How about having some fun in a game instead of grinding cause this pays better.

Personally, I dislike the i/e bull-- since every super duper aimbotted npc bullet loses you money and those silly street chases are annoying. Would rather do crates than i/e.

If this is at least half decent at earning, i will be doing it, maybe not all of the time, just when i feel like it. Certainly more enjoyable than coke with boxvilles.

If you own a Bob you should be delivering cars in mere minutes without a scratch...

 

Yes, I did that hundreds of times, but idk, somehow i enjoy other schemes better.

Cooldown are only for trying to steal the same cargo type back to back, right? Would that make it more profitable per hour to source two of the better payout cargo types back to back and selling each at 25 crates for the 35% bonus as opposed to filling one to 50 for the 70% bonus? Should just be 2 vehicle sales too.

 

50 for $850,000 vs 25 + 25 for $675,000 ($337,500 x 2)

[ElchMoose]

I have painted my hangar floor red. I want the zancudo star emblem. If I get it will it revert the hangar back to its old colour or with the red be there and the livery a different colour?

 

Got the exact same thing, red floor gives you black livery patterns

As far as I've heard 4 crates is the max possible in one steal mission.

 

Correct me if I'm wrong

In the recent background scripts update the unreleased vehicle discounts where set to 5000 because messages popped up for players saying that they can buy the vehicle at a trade price. It will probably be reset to this cap when the vehicles. come out.

That's in the tunables, not the BG script.

Stocking up on certain types of goods will give you a bonus when you sell them in bulk.

Just failed the pac standard heist setup convoy even though I delivered the truck! Also, the savages took about 4 rockets to destroy.. strange
