I unlocked the gun but when I returned to GTA a few hours later it's disappeared. I've checked my loadout and even disabled the custom loadout but it's gone. Anyone know anything about this?

Damn that sucks but you will get another for xmas incase you dont get another from BB.

This took about 34 total pickups before I got all (including the new gun) I hope I am not lucky because 34 total pickups is A LOT! Here are some of my tips for you ...

 

- Use the Oppressor 

The Oppressor is king when it comes to these Business Battles.

Use Chaffs. You will beat other Oppressors that you may encounter! This will let you zip around the map very fast.

 

- How to go after moving targets... (tip)

Everyone finds these really hard and uses the Bati to usually shoot them out. Don't do this, Instead, I would highly recommend that you fly past the target and pull out your minigun and shoot them out. Do not worry about the number of rounds you put into the vehicle. These cars are incredibly armored. After that, just take it and go.

 

- You only need one crate to get the items

You only need one of the crates to get the items. Don't bother going after two. You are better off blowing up the vehicles containing crates and flying off with your oppressor. This also presents the opportunity to work and share crates with friends. 

 

- Lobby Jump

Lobby jump as much as you can. go over to the maze bank and set your spawn location to the last location. This will allow you to be approx halfway from any business battle that spawns. If you spawn in and a free mode event starts, leave. There is no crate there. If you don't wait for the special event crate message to appear. After 20 seconds, and the message does not appear, find a new session. This is the most effective method. 

 

It took me over 10 hours (12 hours approx) to get these. Be patient and you will get all of them eventually. You have till the 31st to get them. Happy hunting. I hope this helps.

 

*edit* Please note that you may not get anything. This is possible when you deliver. You may also get a lot of dupes. Like previously mentioned it just takes time...

Just got the gun. Got everything in about 2 and a half hours. Did pretty well I think.

 

Still got some residual resentment from getting the same sweatshirt 4 times in a row though...

First off, I'm just trying to help. Second off, calling me a noob isn't very kind of you, rather disrespectful actually. Also, do you mind telling me this most useful tip instead of just being toxic about it?

[Sock Dry]

Also as another tip:

 

Make sure you record or screenshot yourself with the gun since there are some reports of people losing it. This way you can present some extra proof to R* incase you need to submit a ticket.

Yeah, apparently that's a glitch going around. I did this already just in case. I have had the gun since early morning yesterday and I (luckily) have not been affected... yet

[UKPortista]

2 Event Cargos all day = 2 Red Bleeder Sweaters...which I already have. Fml.

[Geisterfaust]

Finally got the gun. If you're getting Simeon event battle, it is the gun 100%. Not going to bother with sweaters, though. Yeah, my outfit is retarded and I'm aware of that.

@WildBrick142 posted his screenshot with the gun from that crate and 3 of my mates get it there too. Haven't heard about any other locations, but if you did have please share. From my observation this is the guaranteed spot although I'm not ruling out other options.

I did not get a business battle over by Sims shop yet. I got my gun from stealing the Insurgent Pickup from Joyriders.

[Volganor]

I can confirm @hei3enberg's claim as well. I just got the Atomizer out of that mission after getting 3 sweaters from different event cargo battles.

If this is true, I wonder why that specific business battle gives u the gun? Possibly a glitch? 

[Volganor]

@just do it bob1

 

My best (lame) explanation is that only the Ellie mission is cool enough to grant you that prize.

 

I'm joking, of course, since you and maybe others claim they got it somewhere else.

Just got a green Clucking Bell sweater after a Vinewood car meet battle. The guy who got the first package (blew the car up) tried to vote kick me because "it's the life".

Edited December 22, 2018 by whywontyoulisten

[Rashkovskys Shiv]

Mine so far has been. 

 

1)Simeon Ellie mustang-Atomizer gun and festive tint. 

 

2) Vinewood car meet-sweater

 

3)Sandy shores Ruiner-sweater. 

 

4)Cargo plane drop near Farmhouse bunker-sweater. 

[Geisterfaust]

Well, it looks like Simeon's battle at least shows increased probability of getting the gun.  Because I'm yet to hear that there was a sweater in that thing.

[Micster0]

A modder gave me the gun without my consent and I can't drop it. Will I still get it legit with the livery if I do the event?

[UKPortista]

Not disputing the Simeon gun theory...but that is where I got my green Cluckin' Bell sweater (I already had the gun).

[Gridl0k]

I'm another one with a Simeon atomizer.

I don't think you can get the gun twice though?

[Gorn Lord]

I just got the Ice Cold Sprunk sweater from the Simeon mission. Had my hopes so high that I would be done with this.

[ash-274]

I did the event at Simeon's garage (didn't know it was going to be full of armed goons) and I got a sweater.

 

After trying for two hours I've gotten

2x Burger Shot Festive Sweater

1x Blue Slaying Festive Sweater

1x Red Bleeder Festive Sweater

1x nothing (It may have said "Cargo" and not "Event Cargo")

1x lost to another player after blowing myself up like a moron

 

Still looking for

Ray gun

Burger Shot Festive Sweater

Green Cluckin' Festive Sweater 

 

I've just been tooling around in the flying Deluxo from a strategic starting point.  Not as fast as other options, but I'm in a chill mood and I don't have an Oppressor MkII.  It seems that in addition to 4+ players in the lobby, at least 4 have to be out in the open and not inside properties.   I've been off the game long enough a lot of my helicopter flying skills have atrophied.

[Gaffa]

I can't even get the business battles to trigger... in a public session with two other people for over 30 minutes and nothing's showed up... 

[Volganor]

I hated the idea at first, but I have to admit I missed the lovely pressure that only these battles can give you. It's 95% boredom from waiting to 5% can't-play-right-because-my-hands-are-shaking while chasing and delivering them.

 

Note to self, however: never get cold feet and not rush for the objectives, I lost a battle that way because I thought I'd ambush a guy after he had gotten a crate and got exploded instead while he delivered the stuff. I could have won otherwise.

You need 3+ other players in the lobby

 

I was in a lobby with a total of four, but two were indoors and it didn't trigger.

Yes it matters:

- 2 players at least need to be registered as CEO.

- 3 players at least need to be outdoor not doing anything but waiting

the BB will start

 

if it does not within 15 minutes, load a new session

You don't have to be registered as anything.  None of my mine were while I was anything

 

Edit, you may not have to be, but at least two players (outside of properties) must be
