What is "cargo type bonus" on the overview section?

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

 

 

Ok i nunderstand that. It show the bonus on the second page when u have bulkof something but on the first page i still have "cargo type bonus" at 0%. Starting to think this is some other kind of bonus maybe when u are selling all the time same goods?

[hksjun]

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

Narcotics, Medical Supplies, Chemicals = 70%

Animal, Art, Jewel = 60%

Tobacco, Goods = 50%

same everytime?

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

 

 

If I put 15 minutes into a mission and someone tries to take the spoils at the end for hiding in the shadows, me quitting is not a cheap move, it's cutting your nose off to spite your face. I might not get it but you don't deserve it so you're not getting it either.

 

It doesn't matter if you're told to do something, if you go off the radar, you're a cheap shot, the kind of guy who waits until his enemy has his back turned.

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)

 

Bumping this, since this must be tested (there's some potential with this idea).

 

Saving 4 minutes, per crate, might make up for the bad payout...

 

EDIT: But then again, if you're grinding with a friend, you might as well just take turns in sourcing crates. No cool down timers and both end up with $850,000 (after several hours)

disappointing in terms of money making.

the crate runs are kinda fun but if you want to make actual money you need 3-4 associates.

and here starts the problem.

the wage they get is a joke. no one who knows how to make money is willing to help.

and to make it worse, on this update you actually need competent people if you dont want to waste 20 minutes on each run and still end up with 2-3 crates even thought you have 3 more people..

first gen crates you basically needed brain dead minimum wage slaves. but here those missions are demanding for newbs, if not impossible.

and then there are the sell missions. oh boy. if you dont want to lose your hard earned crates you better wait till your friends come online because those missions solo are pretty much impossible.

doing the sell missions in a public lobby with randoms as associates is suicide

[the nameless]

And I'm adding this to the front page.

 

Does this indicate the release order of the planes and helicopters? Does anyone have a (provisional) release order for all the vehicles including the cars?

[Rafae]

^ I would say yes, it does.

[Jammsbro]

Is there any way to influence which type of source mission you get? I want to only get the Hunter one, for reasons that, uh, I'm sure everyone can guess lol.

 

God knows why. It's absolutely awful. Had it a lot and hate it. Bucket slow, You can barrage around a jammer and miss it entirely.

 

We even got on ine and used the bottom gun, still awful. Flys like a heavy boat on a bad sea.

 

When I get that mission now we jump in buzzards and hydras and do it in minutes.

Heck, it might be worth doing the 25/25, sell one group of 25, then grind the remaining 25 up to 50 with the cooldown.

 

I thought about switching with friends. While it is a great idea, my friends either don't have a hangar or I'm usually in a grinding lobby with all 10 CEO/MC slots taken, which makes switching difficult.

 

I'm starting to think of LSIA as the grinding location. It's so close to your other stuff that you can easily do an I/E source/sell or do a regular crate run during the cooldown.

Or camp in a APC in front of the hangar Doors....

Unfortunately that would be 3 vehicles delivery sale.

I have crates of different types and all of them are below 10 crates but when selling all cargo, that "Larger sales require more members" message pops up.

[Deadman1996]

I just sold 50 Crates of art & antiques and been granted with 1,1 million. Why did I get extra 300kk pay out? Can Fun2 check the game codes?

Did you not see the bonus you get when selling art and antiques in bulk?

You sold them in a populated public lobby ? That would be the High Demand Bonus.

Edited August 31, 2017 by Fun 2

[Deadman1996]

Yes it said 800kk. I sold it with a lobby with 1 friend and also 1 more random guy managing his own business

[IceDree]

Do Hangers get raided?

[xCarlaP_x]

Odd thing, I've made two test sales with a friend in a solo lobby. Counterfeit for 73k and one crate of jewellery for 10k, which hilariously gave us 3 Havoks with 6 drops to make, but oddly it says I've made 150k off of two sales? When clearly I haven't.

[benjaminstrike]

Do Hangers get raided?

Don't think so.

If you have the FZ hangar it's impossible to get raided xD

[drizzi_b]

I wanted to point out, as this happened last night while sourcing, that if you start a source mission and the associate(s) leave or get lagged out, you can still possibly bring back however many pieces you were able to when you started it. I had one associate and he left session right after we went out of the hangar to start, and I was still able to go back and forth and bring them both in.

[Non Funkable Token]

Probably known already, but you can use a helicopter for that stunt plane mission, instead of the Howard. Just forget the knife flights and use the bridges to pass below.

[Eddie Van Rosenberg]

I'm not getting any notifications about the discounts for future drip-feed content, and I'm at 30 steals atm. They seemed to pop up pretty randomly for the stuff that's already in the game as well.

 

Anyone else got the same problem? Don't wanna be doing all those missions in vain.

I didn't get any for my 24th and 27th crate, so I'm stopping for now, just in case they are dumb and don't make the trade prices retroactive.

Could be a recovery gig, like the Bunkers & Small warehouses.

Today's tunable update raised the limit to 5000 missions for all drip free vehicles so people don't get the discount notifications for vehicles that "doesn't exist".

[Cars263]

Welp... I tried to do a selling mission, and i think that mission isnt here... I needed 3 persons, each one needs to use a hunter, we need to go to different locations, Clean the drop point, killing all enemies and stuff, and then drop the package... NOTE: U must need 3 persons for that mission, because the game doesnt gives you the next location until the 3 hunters drop the packages on the last location... Ull have 20 minutes for the mission (Easy if u got ur team but difficult or impossible if u are solo or just have 2/3 persons

I got that one this morning. I only had 2 Hunters, but was also solo. Once I realized what was going on I flew back and destroyed both heli's. This is one of those sell missions that should of been player count locked.

[Guest]

Couldn't see it (however only scanned over it) but what's this I have read about "Rons cut"?

 

I've only done 3 sale missions and didn't see anything about a cut for Ron (all 3 in populated sessions), did I miss the notification? Is it solo players only? Is it empty sessions only?

 

If he gets a cut the payout chart needs to indicate this also.

[SHOKKERZ91]

When you steal a crate from another guy and he leaves out of frustration, you have 3 minutes to deliever the crate to your hangar.

 

Also, chemicals maximum bonus is 70% when you 50/50.

Good point and I had forgot about that.

If I remember right he got $250 from a $10K sale, so 2.5%. Or $21,250 from a sale of of $850K.

There is another mystery as well. I did two sales for $10K each and one for $800K. The computer said I have made barely over a $M from sales. All sales were done with no competitors in the lobby.
