I/E or a Buzzard or Equipment upgrade for bunker

[GunTotinHippie]

So I gotta come and ask you guys or girls for help. Which I want to thank you in advance for. I have about 1.9 mil right now and I wanted to know is that enough to get a proper import export business off the ground? Or should I buy a buzzard for future cargo sells or cargo acquisitions ? And lastly should I get the equipment upgrade for my bunker? I mean I can't imagine product being produced at a rate where I can have multiple sells in one session but you may know better then me when it comes to this stuff. Again thanks for the help.

Buy a Buzzard and use it to grind the ever loving sh*t out of VIP Work this week

 

If you play your cards right you'll have enough to eventually buy an office for 1m and the cheapest I/E warehouse for 1.5m

 

Then it's just smooth sailing from there

This^^

 

1. Buy Buzzard

2. Grind VIP Work this week

3. Buy cheapest I/E warehouse (cheapest is actually best location because Freeway access)

4. Run forced Top Range method + VIP Work (check link in my signature)

5. Get equipment upgrade for Bunker (buy $75K of supplies, sell every 140 minutes)

6. Buy Cargobob

7. Never have to worry about money again (easily make $250k-350K an hour solo).

Definitely can't go wrong with a Buzzard, it isn't quite the nearly-indisputable necessity it once was but imo its still the handiest vehicle you can have. As Rafae and Cali said, use it for double VIP work this week and you can make the cash to buy whatever else you want.

 

Also keep in mind there's a big update coming in June, so you might wanna keep some cash in savings for a few weeks.

This week, Buzzard. Long after this event it will prove very flexible and helpful.

 

Bunker can wait a couple more days, lol. Hit VIP work as hard as you can, then you may even make enough this weekend to buy both I/E and bunker.

 

Also, if needing tips for any business here, CaliMeatWagon above has many awesome links in his signature under their post. And search 'The Lone Wolf's Guide...' on here too if looking for a solid way to combine many businesses, maximising bunker, I/E, and MC if keen. (Don't be put off by the lone wolf part, it's awesome for groups too).

Join yourself this week and be able too buy ten lol. Buzzard is a no brainer it makes up the cash in no time

[GunTotinHippie]

a lot of you all mentioned VIP work I gotta do some more research on that. Can I it do as a bunker owner? Again thanks for the feedback.

[El Payaso]

Get the bunker upgrade. There's gonna be double cash on it this week or next. (It's the biggest money generator in the game).

 

Buzzard's missiles suck. You're better off with a Deluxe or Oppressor.

[Nihilist.]

It's not about weaponry of Buzzard, it's about being able to spawn it next to you every 5 minutes if you need to. It's a fast reliable way of transportation that doesn't replace your active PV, and you can call it even if it's not destroyed. So yeah, you can't go wrong with Buzzard, but it's not a mandatory purchase by any means - it just makes life easier, like Armored Kuruma.

[R3CON]

Buzzard may be worthwhile in general, but there's time-sensitive discounts on Bunkers going on now that you'd be remiss not to take advantage of:

• Bunkers & Bunker upgrades are 40% off.

• MoC cabs are 30% off too. 

As you know, Bunkers and the MoC was added with the Gunrunning update and there's even more benefits to be had once you get to work. From Rockstar Newswire directly:

"Score an influx on your ROI with Double GTA$ & RP on all Smuggler's & Gunrunning Sell Missions and get your Bunker research team firing on all cylinders with a 2X Speed Boost on Gunrunning Research."

So this week is actually the best week to take advantage of everything Bunker related.

Agreed from a PvP standpoint. Deluxo/Oppressor make quick work of a Buzzard in freeroam. 

Good news is that the Oppressor's 25% off this week. Combine that with the discount on the MoC center cab and 2X speed on research and it'll be cheaper than ever to customize it with missiles. If you haven't already purchased one, now's a good time. 

However, I should say that the next DLC is two to three weeks away from dropping and it's thought to be very expensive. The offers above are very lucrative and very fleeting but only you (the OP) can decide what's the bigger priority. 

[Lonely-Martin]

The discounts on the bunker are cosmetics only mind.

Still full price for the upgraded equipment and staff (And security, bought them on my sons account). That said, this pays 2x until Monday night, I'd now concentrate on the bunker this week, lol.

[FukNRekd]

I started a new account April 21 this year. With the last few weeks of discounts I got, in this order:

 

Maze West

Buzzard

Chumash bunker fully upgraded

La Puerta vehicle warehouse

Zancudo A2 hanger.

There's still time to take advantage of 2x sales so I suggest that route.

 

[Mr Spanky]

Do NOT buy the cheapest I/E WAREHOUSE

Yes, it is a reasonable location for the freeway, but, there are far more cons than pro's with it

 

It is easy for other players to snipe you, and steal the car you sourced

 

Try defending yourself against any other players, you get the local gang shorting at you

 

Once you have enough to buy, and utilise the cargobob, there is nowhere to land it out of the way

 

When purchasing the cargobob, get the jetsam, NOT the marine version

 

Jetsam has a longer hook rope, also, I have had the car detach from the hook a few times with the marine version

Just to let you all know, after the website went down I went on discord talked to the people there. By some show of luck I was able to get the buzzard at 1.2 instead of 1.7. I grinded as much as I could and got my money back mostly. Now I am trying to get double money on my gunrunning. Any1 know why I am not getting the double payout yet? Once again thanks for all of your help. 

[Lonely-Martin]

^ The only thing I can think of is if you left your console on, you may need a fresh reload to see new events/bonuses/discounts. Unless you haven't upgraded equipment as that increases the payouts. Otherwise, I'm unsure.

[FrancisBlack]

Do you have the staff and equipment upgrades? Those are a must. And this week there is no doubt on your question. Buy the bunker and you can buy 2 buzzards a day with double week going on.

Fully upgraded bunker, $75,000 supplies gives $140.000 walk in money, or $210,000 distance sale

 

On double money, the walk in value is $280,000 with $420,000 distance sale

 

The double money bonus should be shown within the value as you walk in the bunker, if not, try closing the game completely, and restarting it

Buy the bunker closest to the city if you can. Much easier to do big sell runs.

[kcole4001]

Personally. I like the bunker at the end of the runway out in the county, and the car warehouse right next to LSIA.

Easy access to Pegasus aircraft in both locations, and the Cargobob really saves a ton of grief (and money) on solo car sell jobs.
