Pounder, Mule and Speedo Custom - What actually are they/what do they do?

[SHARKEM]

I hope nobody minds but I call them the pounder, half pounder, and quarter pounder.

The Speedo Custom can handle one explosions without any armor, second explosion disables it.

 

Pounder Custom should be more or less the same thing.

thank you, and do you know if theres a difference between the riot armor (tier 3) or full armor(tier 4 with closed back and wedge)?

If we are talking about the Speedo Custom, level 4 armor seals the rear doors eliminating any possibility of you getting shot in the back, whereas level only Dave's you from bullets for a limited amount of time before the bullet resistant glass breaks.

 

Can't help you with the Pounder though since I haven't driven it yet.

 

I only have my club producing guns and cargo, so I will probably never need it unless I decide to create a MC and acquire some MC business, which offers have no interest whatsoever

So there's no way i can remove the Mule? Did a delivery, guy comes with a Hydra an one strafe destroyed about 400k of stuff.

I only want to use the Pounder, which should have better armour and of course the remote missile battery..

Or just sell in solo public lobbies.

I agree with @whywontyoulisten.

 

Plus, The Missile Battery is more trouble than it's worth. No auto-lock, limited amount of Missiles & prevents you from going through certain tunnels & underpasses because the Pounder becomes too tall & can't fit.

Yeah I've seen some flyover, overpasses give that problem. But I do like the battery, had a lot of practice with the APC. And the Pounder should have stronger armour. I did defy my fate a bit in that session by not making good friends

But the only real threat to the Pounder, is the cannon of the Savage/Hydra/Laser, and u can easily shoot them from the sky, when they hover, with the missile battery.

Don't u also get bonuses with nightclub deliveries in fuller lobbies?, can't remember.

I heard that the maximum cut Tony gets is 100k so above that is more share for you, with the Pounder..

Pounder is worth getting, Mule is a waste

 

 

I wonder if if you have the Pounder and Speedo only and you opt to sell more crates than the Speedo can carry, does it then go to the Pounder or refuses until you have the right amount for it

 

I bought the discounted Mule so I can’t find out

Can anyone answer the question above? I only have a Speedo (upgraded) for now, but was thinking of buying a Pounder to upgrade. I've never sold more than 90 at a time yet. After 90, do you get to choose between a Mule or Pounder for the delivery or do you just get the next vehicle up which would be the mule?

You're all set then

Yep, 1% bonus for player in the session who's not part of your Organization\MC.

Correct, Tony's cut maxes out at $100k.

If you own the Mule, that'll be your delivery vehicle for cargo between 91 crates & 180 crates.

 

If you don't own the Mule, but own a Pounder, the Pounder will be your delivery vehicle for anything over 91 crates.

 

If you don't own a Mule or a Pounder, you can't sell anything above 90 crates.

Thank you IceDree.  👍

Some other people allready mentioned. I have the weird feeling/ idea, rockstar intentialy made these vehicles suck. All three have absolutlely bad handling while on road and even worse off road, terrible brakes. Bad/ weak armour. No ramming power. Whats even worse with upgrades you loose the abbility of using the proximity mines also when you fully upgrade the pounder, your too high to drive under many bridges and the tunnel in mount chilliad ( found out the hard way, when i was selling full stock, i didnt made in time because i had to drive all the way back etc) why cant these vehicles drive/ handle/ ram and have the same armour as the insurgent?

So is the Mule really that bad compared to the Pounder? I never bothered with it before but recently I got this sudden urge to complete my nightclub garage.

 

Should it be avoided at all costs?

Yes, just buy the Pounder instead. Mule is slower and weaker.

The only thing to watch out for is the increased vehicle height when you install the turret.

Not at all costs...

 

If you're not producing stuff in your nightclub at all, then it doesn't matter what delivery vehicles you have.

 

If you want to produce stuff, and have all storage levels as well as the Mule, you can still choose to produce only coke, meth, weapons, cargo -- once the first two are full, it's an amount small enough to fit into the Speedo, so you'll avoid having to deliver with the Mule. But you'll make less money of course. (Coke, meth, cash, cargo works as well if your bunker is closed.)

Thanks for the replies.

 

Yeah, with mid to large sales I always end up with the Pounder since I never bought the Mule. It's more of a completion thing but if it's really such a pain in the ass I guess it's not worth it.

Yeah, I wouldn't recommend buying the Mule for completion's sake unless you got a lot of GTA$ saved up.

 

I still sell the nightclub because the money is too easy to pass up, but not producing cash or weapons so a delivery fits into the Speedo still means I lose out on $140-150k per delivery -- in exchange for the mission being a few minutes faster on average.

The Pounder tends to get stuck between humps. It should come with a complimentary up-in-atomizer to unstick it. The Mule doesn’t seem to have this issue as the wheelbase is shorter. If this is an issue you have with the Pounder you may find the Mule a little easier to drive. 🤷🏻‍♂️
