How did the Molotok (MiG-17) end up on sale during 'Murica week?

It's a Twitch Prime special that started the previous week

And here comes the problem that business battles have become less common now. Not a single one since we got new tunables.

Yeah, what the f*ck is going on? Before this event week, I was getting BB's like every 10 minutes. Now they've become extremely scarce. 

 

It's Rockstar.

If your in a lobby with players doing vip/ceo work it disrupts the lobby events,  start a I/o lobby with you and 2 other friends and all be in separate orgs.  They should start to spawn but the bb needs to be “event” cargo to get the clothing items, blow up the vehicle to get 2 crates - each will have the same item.

How exactly do you get the special items/clothes when winning a BB? Do you have to win them a certain amount of times? Or is it random?

 

Will the game notify you that you unlocked them? I completed one today, but wasn't notified or anything.

The business battle has to be “event” cargo.  It will say what type when the notification pops up.  If it’s event cargo you just collect it and deliver to location, the item unlock will come up like normal if you don’t have the item.

If anyone wants I’m starting a I/o lobby now pm me here n I’ll invite on x1.   Let’s get what u want.

This is the first time that I prefer to win GTA$ or casino chips on the Lucky Wheel than the vehicle.

 

But on the other hand, 70% off on bunkers? Now we're talking! 
I'll buy one near my MC businesses to boost the sales of my nightclub. Time to sell that hangar crates to chip in the bunker price.

Wait until tomorrow, maybe there will be one with the new tunables.

 

Mission accomplished, was able to get the shirt and one of the beerhats I did not own yet.

Thanks man

[Lonely-Martin]

I had a brief try to grab that t-shirt at least, but no joy. Stupid 30 minute thing along with sessions seemingly bugging out and no BB spawning, let alone having sh*tty regular cargo.

 

Between that and the time trial, poor showing from me there, lol. But alas, had some good heist sessions this week and closing in on having a full $150m stashed ready for whatever R* throw our way next.

 

Besides, as they'll never fix the arena, being a player keen to complete things and collecting is a lost cause now anyway, but worth a try in case I got lucky.

 

I got the one t-shirt I really wanted long ago anyway. My beloved Loneliest Robot tee.

[Tails Prower]

Glad I decided to keep my head and not return to this Business Battle stuff or GTA Online for that matter, visions of the 2018 Xmas period have haunted my brain this week since I had plans to do "things" that

holiday but NOOO R* had me chasing damn event cargo for the whole two weeks I was off because they can't make a system that identifies if you already have the gear or just give you the ones you don't have!

 

That one 2 week experience was enough to trigger me never to take a business battle or public lobby again!

[IceDree]

I was really tempted to pickup another Gauntlet for my collection when this event started, but the urge is gone once I realized I'll have to rearrange my collection to accommodate it.

 

The business battles can go to hell.

I'm sticking to my usual chilled easy plods/drive abouts and Minecraft. Cheers Dree! ✌

Cheers!

I heard throughout the years it's a waste of money, but I guess I'll see for myself if that's really the case or not

so far i haven't moved my yacht for paleto bay since you get charged for it, but they do charge you to send for your chopper.

other then that i haven't been charged much for use of my yacht.

Like a sucker, I tried a couple more times to get BB's to spawn with a very helpful friend yesterday, no luck at all, lol. Not even regular BB's showed up, gits. (We had these showing in the inventory naturally of course).

 

But last night both me and the lad did our daily spin of the casino wheel around 7pm, and we both won the bike each. Ha ha. I already have one, but was funny to see us both get it at the same time.
