Right! You can keep your free.

Cash bonuses for ya @CaliMeatWagon..

 

Smash & Grab: Complete the aggressive approach - $100k.

 

Hidden In Plain Sight: Complete the big con approach - $150k.

 

Undetected: Complete the silent & sneaky approach - $200k.

 

All Rounder: Complete all 3 approaches - $300k.

 

Elite Thief: Complete the elite challenges for all 3 approaches - $350k.

 

Professional: Complete the diamond heist on hard without losing a life - $250k.

 

* That last one is unclear in the description weather it's one finale, all 3, or the full run through. But at $250k, I'd guess just one finale of the 3.

Did everybody else get the "Street Crimes: Gang Wars Edition" Arcade Cabinet for free/with the first equipment mission? 

[Hector Tavares]

Can the "new" vehicles on Warstock be customized?

Yes, it was free for me with the first mission. 

[Piro]

In the first prep where you take pictures inside the casino I discovered that you can also take pictures of the vault blueprint in Ms.Baker office and every entrance on the rooftoop and on the back of the casino.

Anyone found something else? I'm guessing those secret objectives gives you more possibilities?

I'll just cut to the chase here. Is the free arcade (Twitch Prime 72 hour rebate) in Paleto Bay worth it? Obviously the commute isn't ideal, but I hate wasting money. Is the arcade somewhere that we will need to spend a lot of time? For example, I'm thinking of my MC Clubhouse. I rarely (if ever) need to go there, so I could have just bought the cheapest one out in the middle of nowhere.

 

Also, is proximity to the casino and advantage? I mean, will we be travelling back and forth between them a lot?

You can buy 14 different arcade cabinets that you can actually play...

[futureproof]

How many players do you need to play the heist?

Thanks for that. Ok. I mean to me, that wouldn't be a good enough reason for having it close by. What about actually doing missions/setups/heist. Would it be a headache for others on my team? Or would it be irrelevant? I suppose it's too early to tell at the moment.

You can also run every single business out of it.

[Agatha Baker]

The paleto arcade isnt that cheap at all. Casino is in LS and most if the preps are in downtown. Your choice to buy at paleto.

Ah. Well that's a game changer. Definitely getting one in the city is the right thing to do. Cheers for the info.

[PhilPerlmutter]

 

There is another scoping point that can be sent in:

 

 

Spoiler

Security Van Entry (The gate under the bridge where you deliver stuff in these public session casino missions)

 

Unfurtunately, have not found the last one yet!
Edit:

Last one is:

 

Spoiler

Sewage first tunnel (first to the write, not accessable)

So my summary:

 

Spoiler

Entrypoints:

 

Main Door

SideDoors (2x)

Sewertunnel

Roof Terace (4x)

Security Tunnel
Roof (2x)

 

Hope that helps...

Next thing I need to complete is POI.

Is any of this DLC solo friendly?

[LeakyLine]

Lifeguard Blazer, Lifeguard SUV, and Bugstars Burrito are personal vehicles.

Stockade, Fire Truck, and Boxville are Pegasus.

Any modifications for the 3 personal ones?

[LeakyLine]

Also, there's a new collectible: Signal Jammers. Destroy all 50 to unlock Avi Schwartzman as a crew member.

 

Just now, Hector Tavares said:

Not sure. Only checked the Lifeguard SUV. Nothing there. Likely can be modified with a merge.

[Agatha Baker]

I wish we had npc heist team mates rather than players.

Hold. The. F***. Up.

 

invite only lobby business operations‽‽‽

Indeed. 

But i'm curious if this was intended or not. Why can't we sell or source crates? We can do it with the Bunker, Hangar, etc. Maybe i can understand why we can't sell the nightclub products but the crates?

Presumably you can look at is as half of the price of Paleto off any of the others if you buy it, then trade it in (just don’t upgrade Paleto if that’s the plan)....

[Mdc]

5 minute cooldown on mk2 spawn from mc president... Whether it was destroyed or not. Gonna be some very unhappy griefers out there xD

[NChabb]

The most expensive arcade is right beside the Eclipse Tower lol.

Ironically, I'm not a griefer and I'm bummed with these changes since my OP MK2 actually allowed me to escape true griefers lol.
