Using bunkers solo?

[Tube Screamer]

Hey guys, just a quick moan I guess..

 

So I finally saved enough to get myself a bunker and office so that I could become a CEO.. bought many lots of supplies (tried stealing some, but found it far too time consuming), and after some time had around 230k worth of stock to sell. It then told me that I need other players as there will be multiple vehicles. Well I didnt have any other players (I have a couple of friends who play, but the times we find ourselves online at the same time are few and far between), so I decided Id try and do it solo.. deliver the load from one vehicle, and then rush back and do the other..

 

But no.. it seems that the game has been engineered so that there is no way on earth that this can be done solo.. the deliveries have to be made by alternate vehicles, so basically I had to make one delivery, and although I had more weapons in the vehicle, it wouldnt allow me to make a delivery from the one I was in.. I had to race all the way back to my bunker (bloody miles away), collect the other vehicle.. Make a drop from that one (fighting off loads of soldiers in the process), and then race back to the bunker to swap vehicles again. Well I suppose I made about 3 or 4 of the 10 drops, and earned around 100 - 150k.. less than Id spent on supplies. Very annoying.. they make it so bloody difficult to make money in this game.

 

So my question is.. is there a feasible way to run a bunker as a solo player? Maybe if I sold stock when there wasnt much to deliver, but made many more deliveries? Seems a bit of a pain in the ass, but I suppose that could be an option?

 

Thanks for any advice guys.. from a very frustrated fellow player, haha..

Yea, you can run your Bunker solo.
Just buy a full bar of supplies for 75k and wait till it gets proceeded. You should have just one delivery vehicle.

[kenmy13999]

If you sell when products is worth less than $175k you get only one vehicle. I buy supplies for $75k and get products worth $140k for that ($210 If selling in Los Santos) and I sell when the $75k supplies are used

[Gridl0k]

6 supply bars = max solo sale fwiw.

[Tube Screamer]

Thank you for the advice guys.. stupid rookie mistake I guess.. I thought I was doing really well by letting it build up for a good sale, haha.. idiot

[Pedinhuh]

Just go by the value, if the value of your stock goes OVER $210,000 to sell in Los Santos, you will get two delivery vehicle which can't be done solo.

 

Or better, just buy your supplies once and let it produce stock until you run out of supplies, then buy another set of supplies for $75,000 and IMMEDIATELY sell your stock.

 

Can't go wrong with this strategy.

 

And remember, always sell in Los Santos, better money for your time spent.

Ahh

 

I see you got the Marshall Monster Truck sell mission. That one sucks major balls. But it could be worse my friend. It could be the Post Op Van MC business sell mission. There is NO WAY one person will make it solo.

 

You could go two ways. Either do the missions as our fellow forumers say above, by selling only up until 150 ish K, or go all in and do the Phantom Wedge Missions. These are much shorter. You will always make it. The problem is leaving a million dollars just parked there at the bunker. That is a high risk.

Not true, you can sell upto 175k (350k to LS) in a single vehicle. You just need more than 75k worth of supplies to get it there. Do a supply run or two after your bought supplies have arrived, not more than that though or your stock may go up more than 175k once you return. Anything more than 175k gives you at least two vehicles to deliver.

 

It's better just to buy a full bar and come back and sell it once used up. Getting it to 175k by doing supply runs after the bought supplies have arrived isn't really worth the tedium, especially due to not knowing whether the stock will go past 175k or not.

 

Buying full supplies again (total waste) or having to time it just right to come back and buy 15/30k worth of supplies once a little bit of the 75k supplies have been used up is too much of a hassle. With one batch of full supplies you're guaranteed a single delivery sale and 140/210k worth of product everytime once their emptied.

Zero risk if you go into solo public lobby.

[StangOne50]

Imo selling with 1 vehicle is a waste of time. You will become a slave to your bunker.
Let it fill to the full 700k.
Do the mtu trick for solo lobby.
You will have a 40% chance of getting a doable solo sell mission.
If you get a bad mission or 2 just switch lobbies and try again. You only lose about 30k of stock for switching lobbies which is still very profitable.

You will also need a buzzard or any heli in your ceo menu to do these if you dont have one. This way you make a delivery then request your heli from ceo menu and you can quickly get back to the delivery vehicle.

Mc businesses and bunker are not meant for soloing, you need at the bare minimum 2 ppl, with 5 as the most efficient, so in order to farm those, you will need to play with randoms, switching sessions and inviting everyone until you can farm properly (usually 3 to 5).

 

For soloing the only good business is the import/export one, where you steal and sell vehicles, and even then you will miss out on the collection bonuses if you don't sell with other ppl.

 

Gta online is not like campaign, you NEED ppl for almost everything, and it is waay more fun that way. Of course there will be times when things will go wrong, but that is part of the experience and the game itself.

 

So if you can't stand playing with others, the game will become boring fast, as farming money can't be done quickly solo.. you will need to resort to modders giving you cash if you want to keep up with the rest. Or limit yourself to only do import/export as i said before.

75K of purchased supplies is the greatest form of passive income in GTA online. Just play the game the way you want, come back a couple of hours later and sell it for 210k.

[Rashkovskys Shiv]

Bunker is not hard to solo.

 

-buy a bunker close to the city like Farmhouse or Sandy shores.

 

-two vehicles like the regular Insurgents/marshall monster trucks or one phantom wedge, simple to deliver, just use CEO buzzard.

 

-I even do three regular insurgents or 2 phantom wedges alone.

 

Always buy supplies and let your bunker fill up.

 

I'm just over $80 million in bunker sales

And if you sell in a full session you get $262k, I like to get the high demand bonus also

[ash-274]

Bunkers are great for PASSIVE solo work.

$75,000 of supplies will produce (with the staff and machinery upgrades) $140,000 ($210,000 for a Los Santos sale) in 2:20 and no chance of raids (like the MC businesses).

 

If you buy supplies, then buy supplies again ($15,000) as soon as the bunker has produced $28,000 of product then you will run out of supplies as soon as $175,000 are ready to sell. $175,000 is the max you can do solo:

One destination in a Phantom Wedge

15 minutes for one destination with an Insurgent Custom

30 minutes for five drops in an Insurgent Custom

Five drops in a Marshall

Five drops in a Dune FAV

 

There are ways (minor exploits) to mitigate the $9400/day cost of the Bunker staff and ways to avoid those and the daily property fees completely. Theres even a trick to only pay $15,000 for a full supply bar.

 

You can play totally passive and let the game run while you do other real-life stuff, or you can run Import/Export or missions or other fun or cash-earning activities.

 

Experience: $47,000,000+ earned with 100% delivery success, all solo.

This.

 

In between Bunker sales, I do I/E while alternating between Headhunter and Crates. 4 sets of 2 crates. Just enough time to do 2 crate pickups between cars.

 

Keeps a nice little grind going with some variety to boot.

I have over $80million in bunker sales so I'm speaking from experience kid.

[Rafae]

^ Right because anyone with less than that certainly can't be more experienced than you

 

/s

 

Selling one vehicle for 210k five times gives you the same amount as selling three or four at once. The product value per hour doesn't increase just because you sell more at once.

[Rashkovskys Shiv]

What I do is buy supplies till it's full.

Get in a solo lobby.

I sell two phantom wedges or 3 Insurgents alone

 

Sometimes I sell at less and get 2 vehicles.

[kenmy13999]

That is a waste of a sale because you don't get the high demand bonus when you're alone in a session..

[ash-274]

The high demand bonus is overrated:

 

Solo in the lobby: $210k

29 other players in the lobby: $262k

 

You're risking up to a 100% loss in exchange for a 25% bonus?

It can make sense if you have a crew to help sell and defend with armed vehicles, but if you're alone all the vehicles are unarmed (unless you stop and get out) and lightly armored and any of those 29 can take you out with little to no effort.

You cherry-picked the fast ones. Deliver 10-15 Dune-drops in 15 minutes, especially if the last stop for the first Dune is on the opposite side of Chilliad from the Bunker

[Hallvar]

Isnt the high demand bonus % based?

[The Collector]

Hopefully this was already explained.

 

Not true bro you can run it solo. Just need to be able to identify which sale missions are worth it and which to avoid. So, avoid the dune buggys, avoid the monsertrucks, avoid the the multi drop insurgents. Phantom and single delivery insurgents are your best bet and pretty easy.

 

500k = 1 phantom or 2 insurgents.

[Jenkiiii]

Listen to ash-274 ^^, he really knows his stuff on Bunkers.

You sound like you know your stuff, but you can't CHOOSE which delivery mission you get, buddy.

I have only done the dune buggy drops about twice in about 125 sales missions, of course I cherry pick,I don't have to explain every single detail since most of you guys are 'experts'

[ash-274]

Talk about a waste of time. Especially if you're running low-MTU where you can experience several Cloud Simulator time-outs before Rockstar finally finds you a solo lobby.

 

One time I was ready to sell, but other players had joined my lobby one one was just being a super-p***k and troll-killing others, so I went to Find New Session. It took >25 minutes of repeating clouds/timeout/storymode before I got a lobby. I could have done any delivery and still manufactured some more product in that time lost.
