After hours quick questions thread (now with FAQ)

[Guest Member2756931]

It's all random. If you're not getting a specific VIP it's just bad luck on the RNG.

 

Early on I went through about 4 days of maintaining 100% popularity and didn't even get a single VIP. sh*t happens.

 

Luckily, who the VIP is doesn't matter and makes zero difference to anything in the game other than who sits in the VIP area and what Lazlow says.

Was (or is) the Blista Compact supposed to get new liveries at some point in the After Hours dripfeed? I thought I saw or read that somewhere, but now I can’t find any info, and I suspect I may have been hallucinating.

It works it's just not very obvious. If there's a vague fog around your knees, it's working.

I've been in the same crew since Xbox 360 and they've been totally inactive. I tried joining a crew in the forum section here but got no response. Is there a way in-game to shut off your crew or switch if I find a new one?

you can find all available crews on the crew section of the pause section

so pause the game- go to online- go to crews

there you will find all crews and you can join them from there.

"Mendoza's been hit! Mendoza's been f-ing hit!"

 

I used to hear someone yell that during every gun fight. What happened to Mendoza?

The one's that yell "I'm a Marine" seem to come up quite often, but I haven't heard a Mendoza line in a long time. It used to happen constantly. Just curious is all.

[Andromeda-J]

its random but it happens more often if you repeat missions that spawn those npcs

I know the Rumpo Custom is stored in Vehicle Warehouse 1 but what other vehicles can be stored? Can you store a weaponized savestra for example?

Mule Custom and Pounder Custom only, the three delivery vehicles. It's not a real PV garage.

sorry for that dumb question: i'm searching for a song, somewhere in after hours.

there is a deeply man vocal line in it, something like "this is my reality" or "this is my symphony".

 

anyone could have a clue, what the name of this song is? THANX

I still here it now & then in jobs like The Los Santos Connection, Stocks & Scares, etc missions with excessive nps spawns.

I'm a returning player from before After Hours landed. I wasn't interested in getting a nightclub at first but I'm seeing in-game and online that if you buy one and get a warehouse that you can manage all your other businesses with it and even acquire and sell stock automatically? How does this work exactly? It's probably simpler than I think it is, but I'm a bit unsure.

make sure your bunker, 3 best MC businesses (fake cash, meth, coke) are active no need to supply them or anything and you have either hangar or CEO special cargo warehouse, then go to nightclub office or basement computer and under staff management you see 5 technicians on top, click each of them and then click on one of available business names below to assign them, nightclub pc system is quite selfexplanatory, look at it and its all clear. PS! theres glitch plagueing that system where coke or other product isnt aquiring product, need to either switch techs or restart the business on mc side.

it would be recommended, get the cheapest ones you can buy and start them up, dont need to upgrade just go to NC after opening them @Cameron Star

Ok. I actually tried it a few days ago, and it worked, but thanks for letting me know.

i'm pretty new to the after hour stuff.

therefore my questions...

what is the player scanner of the terrorbyte for?

and do i need the proximity mines equipped to my delivery vehicles if i have already equipped the primary weapons?

(how do those mines work?)

 

if i sell only in solo public lobbies do i need the weapons of the delivery vehicles anyways?

in other words are those weapons a protection from npcs or other players?

I'd definitely get the proximity mines. Even in a solo lobby, it's great to be able to blow up pursuing npc's.

To use them, just press in the left stick (if Xbox) to drop one, but only do it while moving or else you'll blow yourself up. Not sure about the player scanner.

Oh, and wait until npc's are not too far behind you or else you might blow up a random passing car.

Player scanner is for detecting how manu lapdances or kills players have accumulated on account, maybe few more trivial stats, most useless thing ever, its as boring as eye in sky mission in story mode was.

Press horn button to drop *beep beep boom* circles on road behind you, btw they do not explode while you haven moved away from them anymore, it activates if you drive off of the mine.

you need all possible weapons because koreans, hillbillies and other agros constantly attacking for no good reason.

Does the amount of stock in your business (e.g. Bunker) affect how fast your Nightclub technicians accrue the goods related to that business? I'm wondering if anyone noticed, as it feels like my technicians accrue goods a lot slower if your stock is low or empty than if it is filled with stock or supplies.

The stock in the club goes by time. Each business takes a certain amount of time to fill, some more than others.

Do the mines from club delivery vehicles ever disappear?

Seems I can drop them endlessly. Do they go away after you are a certain distance away from them?

[Taterman]

In an MC Coke business (fully upgraded), how much stock can you have before more than one person is required to sell?

Yep, after a Gunrunning sale with the FAV, accidentally ran over a mine much later along the route I had gone.
