Except for the one where you're *supposed* to use the Cargobob. Then you get a never ending supply of Buzzards to shoot up your pinata.

 

 

Trick here is to gain as much altitude as you can before flying to your warehouse. I can usually get to mine just as the CB starts smoking.

 

Another strat to use here is go to the military base and take cover in the Lazer hangar. You can usually take out the buzzards while in cover if the tanks don't take them out first.

Since Rockstar made every heist and business different in a better way, why not making in the future more missions where we play as story mode characters just with difference that we can play it solo or with other people 

[Phil Cassidy7]

Been replaying story mode, can't believe the Cliffford sh*tshow was teased way back then and the next thing Michael tells Franklin? Get out of town for a while, take a trip.

Depends on if they release the  Dauger and CP races tomorrow or a Benny's car. Heck, they could do the Drauger and no CP races, who knows... best case I'm thinking is next week for the crime scenes. Realistically though, they could very well be a month plus away still.

 

Anyone else notice that the NPC cars that chase you during the new FR activities like sourcing nightclub goods, excess cargo, Ammunation deliveries etc do not exit the vehicles if you do, therefore preventing lock on? Not sure if it's intentional but it makes dealing with their aimbot shenanigans even more of a pain..

Did Cayo Perico Heist Today(after 3 whole months).When I jumped in the Ocean today(and while cutting the maintenance tunnel grill),my character had a flare attached to his duffel bag(in the same way as in Hertz's Silo with Juggernauts).I dont know....It felt good(even in water),a good QoL change for when your playa is in dark places.

Invite only session on my own, calling my car to do the LSCM daily stuff before going back to money making. R* tells me to f*ck off for whatever reason.
 

Flawless.

 

Don't fart in your car. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The easiest thing to do is buy a Cargo Bob. That's how I do all my car sourcing. I swoop in, hook it up, carry it to my warehouse then drop it in the yellow circle. Same with selling it. NPC traffic and armies can't hit you if you're not on the road.

No. The best thing he can do is, take the loss and consider it a lesson learned. The I/E business is obsolete in 2022, is tedious, rage inducing and the time/profit ratio is very poor compared to newer businesses.

I hope Drauger releases tomorrow so I can do some Offroad Drifts and Jumps

I do the opposite. I fly tree top level, since my warehouse is on the eastern side of Los Santos (where the oil drilling rigs are) and I zip between the buildings and use the scenery to screw up the buzzards' flight path.

Perhaps for you it is all of this. Some of us do enjoy the fun of it.

Realistically though not many people will ever be into boats in this game.

You know how the majority of players are. Unless they can have their personal drivable  USS Missouri to f*ck other players with and boats that dont blow up with a single explosive, boats in general will remain as unutilized as they are now. The 2 main reasons being that as far as this game goes you are more protected and effective against other players/enemies by running naked on foot in the street than on any boat and 2 what is there to do with them aside from cruising ? 

 

I can see where your coming from, but now with more people hanging out in invite only sessions and with friends, it sure would lure people into the water more. Everyone is either in a car or aircraft, you'll never see anyone in a boat. If people could store and customize them like we can do for aircraft, it sure would lure more people to be in boats. I'm not a boat person but I think even a little most customization and the ability to store some would add a little bit to the game. We spend millions on boats and only can call them out from Pegasus and no color options or anything. I would like my weaponized Dingy painted something else instead of always the same color.

Well, here we go again. So, I bought my CEO the Vehicle Warehouse, spent half my total cash on it.  Watched a few videos about it, seemed straightforward.  Source the car, drive to to the warehouse, sell it by driving it to a buyer.

...

As I seem to say a LOT, what was I supposed to do?

 

Judging by the other posts you are making around here, you shouldn't be investing in Import/Export or crate warehouses. These businesses are very unforgiving to the unprepared.

Even back when those were released, they were made for experienced and established players. (read: people who already own an Armored Kuruma and a Buzzard for example)

 

To be blunt, you weren't supposed to get them in the first place.

Didn't anyone tell you to buy the Kosatka first, and do the Cayo Perico heist? Have you done that yet?

Or have you at least got a Nightclub and/or Bunker? (please note: Bunker must be in Chumash or near Sandy Shores, Paleto is bad)

So again, what was I supposed to DO?!?

...

Do people actually find this fun?  For me, it's just a nonstop exercise in frustration.

 

Personally I don't find Import/Export fun anymore, just boring (when everything goes as I planned), or frustrating (when something goes wrong).

 

And this:

Again, just get a Kosatka, grind the Cayo Perico heist a couple times, and buy the things you actually want. (cars, clothes, yacht, whatever you want)

 

Edit: my apologies. I totally forgot to mention the possibility to do the Cayo Perico heist solo.

Things like that are so obvious to veterans that we forget to mention it to new players.

While we're on that topic, make sure to steal a boat during your scope out, and drive it around the island, to the compound, to find the drainage tunnel under the cliffs.

 

Spoiler

When you're in the compound, don't attack the juggernaut. It will only piss him off.

He is immune to meelee attacks, and takes alot of bullets to kill. High risk of death or alarm.

 

Also, you should do the heist solo the first couple times, for because:

1. You can take your time to explore the island at your own pace. You won't have to deal with people who just want to finish the heist at all cost (stealth be damned) just to get paid.
2. You can just let the guards kill you when you get detected, and restart to try stealth again. Some other players don't like that and just want to finish the heist for their payday. (but ruining the actual take)
3. You won't have to deal with people begging for a bigger cut, despite you doing all the prep work solo.
4. If the alarm goes, you don't have to figure out whose fault it was, because there's no one else there.

And if there were boat focused missions, which presumably a boat focused DLC would have. I'd also want to be able to spawn boats quickly near you and, like the Biker MC bike spawn. 

[motomami]

Speaking of which, when you call a Pegasus boat where do they spawn? Near you or designated spawn points like the aircraft? I've never bought any cause I don't see the point.

Per the wiki, these are the locations Pegasus boats spawn.

Galilee Docks
Puerto Del Sol Yacht Club
Sonar Collections Dock
Los Santos Naval Port

I doubt they'd release a car and not allow us to get its trade price, but then again they released the christmas livery for the s2 cabrio a week before it came out, and it came out a week after christmas anyway, making the livery pointless.

 

 

[Black-Dragon96]

So, what are the chances of us getting double cash on nightclub goods tomorow?

[eboyjohnkrasinski]

I'd like to see them fix e&e in the next update.

 

- fix the north dock longfin glitch

- fix the gates that don't open until you're touching them 

- fix the rt shadows

- fix the sh*tty gold texture

- fix the awful matchmaking so that we can actually find races to play

Judging by his others posts, he shouldn't be playing GTA. He's diving straight into hard missions in order to make money, but hasn't learned the basic mechanics. Worse than that, he hasn't learned how to have fun in the game. A lot of us older players spent all of our time actually *playing* the game, and the money slowly came. Grinding is fine, but it's gonna be a pain in the ass if you have no idea what you're doing.

I do wonder what content, if any, we're getting tomorrow tbh. Some discounts on some of the newly revamped content would be nice, like cargo or something as well.

Do we normally know ahead of time from the files if any cars go on sale? Like 20-30% off etc?

It looks like Dragur is releasing and it has a trade price linked to it . Since its an off roader, cayo off road races will likely drop. Probly have to complete one or 5 races to u lock the price

i would guess discount on some supercars as always.

like maybe 50% off the 811.

811 bc it would be 8th 11th with the US date system lol so 811 and it would be funny.
was just a random funny thought.
but you know what i mean

I saw somewhere it was complete 10 Cayo races for the trade price. Can't remember source right now.

by default you have to complete 10 cayo perico races to unlock the trade price, but r* can adjust the amount with a tunable

 

and since we're on topic of trade prices, for anyone who's curious: postlude and kanjo sj trade prices are unlocked at random by leveling up in ls car meet, like the other tuner cars

[DrEeveell]

Damn Simeon is car blocking my daily objectives. I'm supposed to export a vehicle, but he won't send me the text. I've been going around for 3 flingin' flangin' hours stealing cars that are often on the list and nothing.
