Bounty? "Sticker"? Or what?

[EyesDelight]

Hi everyone, I was playing with a friend today and we were relaxing on his yacht. All of a sudden a guy comes on the yacht and starts to kill us both repeatedly. He was moving so fast that we couldn't aim at him. When I aimed in one direction, he was already behind me. Even my level 448 friend couldn't get him. After this happened, we both left the session and he wrote to me, "Someone sent a 'sticker' to all of your groups. I asked what a 'sticker" was but he repeated it again and then said that an image was sent to all of my 'groups'. The image was a picture of my friend's yacht that we'd spent time on earlier that day.

 

Background: I join random groups whether it's for CEO's, MC's, or VIP's to do Daily Objectives. Today I spent hours joining Motorcycle Clubs to, "Participate in a Clubhouse Contract". I didn't get it done because no one knew what Clubhouse Contract meant. One took me gunrunning from a bunker, but the 'gunrunning' Clubhouse Contract means a different gunrunning mission separate from the Bunker. 

 

This has happened to me a couple of times where someone sends out a 'sticker' to any group I've joined. What is this 'sticker' and can I look it up to see who's doing this to me. I have a couple of suspects in mind. 

 

One of the guys was angry because he said that I was 'hiding in Passive'. I wasn't hiding. I hadn't killed anyone and I didn't want to be killed while I was shopping for clothing or getting my hair cut. I regularly get $2,000.00 for being a 'Good Sport'. I try not to mess with people's gunrunning or other club activities. I did it once and felt so bad that I haven't repeated it. It just felt so bad to me. I know it's a game, but I also know how I feel when someone blows something up that I've been working on. I never go after anyone now because I hate the way I feel afterwards. It's not enjoyable at all. 

 

I have turned down 3 guys that wanted me to be their girlfriend. The character I designed is a representation of what I looked like when I was younger. I made a second character that's got gray hair and crow's feet and may end up using that one just to avoid the young men and women that don't know the difference between a character in a game and real life. 

 

I've thought about changing my PSN ID, but I looked at the Settings and it stated that I may lose all my game progress, including trophies, etc. I work very had to get my trophies. Most are for flying, collecting cars, changing hairstyles, and parachuting. I don't have a lot for gunning down other people. 

 

Does the game mean that much to others that they would want to come after me every day because I didn't let them fulfill some sad fantasy? They wouldn't take a second look at me IRL. I'm disabled after a serious car accident a few years ago. I can barely walk and I have a caregiver that helps me every day with things like food preparation. I can still get around a little, but very little and for the longest time I couldn't take a car ride without planting my hands on the dash. My son and daughter told me that if we were in another accident, the airbag would either damage both of my arms or rip them off. 

 

I would love to know if there's a place where I can find out who's coming after me and why. Not for revenge, but to know who's been so angered that they have to come after me and anyone else that I befriend. I don't think I can report him/her since it's part of the game, but I can put bounties on them and send muggers or Merryweather mercenaries after them. 

 

Why is it so bad to use Passive Mode? It's part of the game and it's there so that you can't be killed. Why should I just let players kill me when I'm trying on clothes, or buying ammo, or getting my hair cut? It doesn't make any sense to me to make it so easy on them to obliterate me. They can join missions I'm in like 'Deathmatch' and they can kill me there. It's all very silly to me that someone would suggest that I allow them to murder me repeatedly. 

 

I've never killed anyone then turned it on. I've even been murdered when I'm in Passive Mode which is fine with me. If a person can figure out a way to do it that's fine with me. I'm not going to make it easy on them. 

 

If anyone can help me find out what's being sent to these Groups that I join with images of where I've spent my time recently, I would appreciate the help. I try to watch the screen to see if anyone's put out a Bounty on me. I've had several of those put on me and that's fine. I'm not sure what I did before they got so angry at me. I've only sent muggers or put a bounty on someone for Daily Objectives or if someone's been killing me repeatedly without a chance to take a breath. 

 

I'm going to start taking screenshots every time I  get a 'Good Sport' reward because I know there are those that will question my veracity. Question away. I'm not that good a player that I can kill lots of people. Look at my scores. My shooting is in the toilet. It's about .27. I'm not a sniper at all. My PSN ID is JaxGoneWhack. Anyone that's played with me knows that I'm not that good. 

 

I do have some other questions about some technical things, but I'll wait until I get answers for this. Thank you ahead of time for answering my questions and helping me.

You sound like me, but a bit less experienced. I learn a lot the hard way.

I am fantastic at this game-for my age! Although in the game playing against kids 40+ years younger than me,I definitely suck!  ;>

Here are a few tips in no particular order (sorry if you are aware of them; I don't mean to be condescending,but I don't know how experienced you are with the game).

- NPCs can and will put a Bounty out on you. Just yesterday I stole a crappy NPC car worth $2,000 and the NPC put a $7,000 Bounty on me. Go figure. But,I don't care and actually like it because eventually I will collect the Bounty for "surviving a day" (48 minutes in real time)-and this is how:

- SOLO PUBLIC LOBBY. Every platform has it. They all use the same concept. Drop your internet connection for 10-15 seconds and it will kick all the other players out of the Lobby and you will be left alone on that server (Lobby). There are serious advantages to this. I use it all the time now. I use to only go in Public lobbies to sell MC product because you get a bonus for the selling in Lobbies with many Players in it. But this week is 2x $$$ on MC businesses and the Griefers are working overtime. Just type in Google "gta 5 how to make a solo public session ps4" and watch a how-to video. Then enjoy your nice walk to the beauty salon in peace.

-Use Passive Mode all you want. That is what it is there for. And this tip relates to the "stickler" comment I don't know what that is either, but...

-Don't care! Why do you care what some twerp thinks of you?

-Why look for work with others? This week (ends Wednesday night) a couple MC businesses are on sale. I'd buy a Clubhouse and Counterfeit Cash this week. Eventually you want 5 of the 7 MC businesses-not to Grind out money but to feed your Nightclub. This was a tip given to me on this forum. I wish I could find the post again; I'd thanked the tipster twice and would like to thank him ten more times. It saved the game for me. Grinding was beginning to be repetitive and felt like an unpaid job I didn't enjoy.

-If you keep getting hit on,that is just sad. These horndogs need to unplug their game machines and go outside once in a while. Experience real life a little. Geeze. If they keep hitting on you,tell them you are a 11 year old boy and you think you should tell your Mom-who happens to be a FBI agent. They still do,report them. RS is notorious for ignoring their customers,but even RS can't ignore pedophilia.

 

The main tip is to not care what some twerp says about you. They are either children (who really should be seen and not heard) or psychopaths that can't do anything to you in real life. So why worry about them?

You seem to play like I do. I don't bother anyone that doesn't bother me first and I go out of my way to help Players that need a helping hand (because that is me in real life).

Slippery Pete, Thank you so much for your advice. I was trying to do Daily Objectives. If I complete them, I get $30,000, for a week of them completely done each day there's a $150,000 bonus and for a month, it's $750,000. I don't have PS Plus or Amazon Gaming so I don't have cash or Criminal Starter Packs or whatever they're called. Not that I'd buy that anyway since I've been gaming for ages and don't like "pay to win". I do enjoy GTA V Online and all of the missions. 

 

You are right about me not knowing much and being older. I'm much, much older. The very first video game (if you can call it that) that I played was Pong. There were no gaming consoles yet. You had to go to a bar or a pizza parlor to play Pong. I was addicted to PacMan when it first came out. lol But I had children to raise and a business to run so I couldn't spend much time playing. I got my son into gaming when he was young and he's taught me a lot about it. 

 

I haven't been playing since I was 3 years old. Yes, I've heard some of the voices on here. LOL There are babies playing this game. I've told some of the guys that hit on me that I'm not getting involved with someone who's 10 years old and finding out that I've been breaking the law. I learned that lesson many years ago. I didn't break the law back then, but found out that some young people will do anything to try to get someone involved with them.  None of us has X-ray vision and can tell what age or sexual orientation other people might be on the other side of that screen. I'm not going to risk my freedom for some randy 10 year year old. 

 

I didn't know a lot of the things that you said. I do spend a lot of my time in empty lobbies since being in a populated one is mind boggling. I appreciate all of this advice. No one has ever told me any of these things.  You've opened my eyes and given me a new strategy. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I can do most of the missions on my own. 

 

I didn't know that NPC's in the game could send out bounties for stealing cars. LOL Wow! I steal cars all the time to take to Simeon or to finish a Daily Objective. ROFL I didn't know those non-entity's could take revenge on me or the people I'm playing with. I've never seen anyone move as fast as that guy that got on the yacht last night. Ridiculously fast. LOL The guy that was helping me with missions, etc. is good, but even he couldn't handle this guy. Why kill someone repeatedly if you get the Bounty on the first try? That's what I don't get. 

 

I try to be as helpful as I can but it makes it difficult when you stop to try to help someone and they try to kill you. lol But Passive Mode seems to cool them down and they get in my car and I help them back to San Andreas or get them out of the clutches of the police. I understand why they do what they do. It's difficult to trust anyone in this game. There are some that do help others, don't get me wrong. I've met some very nice people on here that have bent over backwards to include me in Heists and other missions so that I can get enough cash to afford things like my Bunker. I'm going to try to find the videos, etc. that you mentioned so I know exactly what to do.

God NO! There is sooo much wrong here! Bear with me...its going to be a loooong response! hehehe!

In no particular order... I'm old. Not you. Repeat. I'm old. You're not old!! Girl? I can see you blushing right now. That's what you young chicks do.

Pong? Pac Man? I was programming on PDP-11 with punch cards loooong before I was amazed at Pac Man and Missile Command in the Disco scene.

I'm old. Me. Not you! (Pac-Man? You dang kids and your video games. This is why the country is going to hell. You kids and your video games! And STAY OFF MY LAWN!!!! <shake fist violently>

The Criminal Pak goes on sale often. Very often. I got GTA5 free when EPIC was giving it away as their weekly free game of the week. But even without that,it goes on sale for about $10 all the time. I think Humble Bundle is giving it away free for buying GTA5 for 10 bucks right now (always good to have 2nd account).

The Criminal PAK is a fantastic deal! It comes with a bunker (why do you want that? More on that later),a CEO Office,a MC Clubhouse and even the MC Biz Counterfeit Cash. Not to mention 2 Million right off the bat, access to special missions that pay lots (forget how much-its a lot as a newb) that are just scavenger hunts you can easily solve with a Google search. Plus a helicopter. Plus a ton more.

 

Now, here is the kicker. Screw the bunker. That is the last thing (if you don't get it free buy NOT having the Criminal Pak).

Buy the Criminal Pak. If you don't,then get a CEO Office (the cheapest one) FIRST.

Then you will be able to call in a Frogger,the most basic helicopter in the game,but it will get you up to speed so you can do:

VIP MISSIONS!!!

This is where you really start!

Sightseer

Sightseer is a mission where you collect packages all over the map. Sightseer will give you lots of money, and more importantly, experience flying a helicopter. 

You have lots of cash now and experience with a helicopter. Go buy the Buzzard Attack Helicopter. Or steal one from an airfield. Now you can do this CEO mission: Headhunter!

Headhunter

Headhunter is a little more hands on. You are going to find NPCs on the map and Missile their evil asses. Fun!  Keep in mind you are doing this without any other Players in the Lobby (see previous post). You're just killing NPCs. And getting 25K each time. It takes about 5 minutes at most when you get experienced. 

Easy money. Very easy money the longer you do it. I just completed Headhunter in 4 minutes and go 25k. But I did it because I was bored and need to kill a few minutes. You will get to this point. Headhunter was impossible. Then possible. Then just a way to kill time. Ho-Hum. It won't take long. Trust your brain.

 

Here is the best strategy I can offer you: 

CEO Office allowsaccess to the Frogger helicopter (it will be hard to control at 1st,but be 2nd nature sooner than you think).

CEO gives you VIP Missions.

Do a few Sightseers and buy or steal a Buzzard Attack Helicopter (I think it only spawns at level 43) so you can do the CEO Mission Headhunter. Then rotate them. 25K each time.

Now,I'm not going to sugarcoat it. It will be hard at first. You may think Sightseer doesn't give you enough time. 30 minutes I think. Before long you will think that is a joke. 

Headhunter gives 15 minutes I think. When I first got my Buzzard Attack,I thought Headhunter was impossible. Now if I take more than 5 minutes it is because I am not paying attention. Or caring

Before you know it,they are just both cash cows. I play them when I have to kill.

But the greatest gift is not the 25k for 5 minutes of gameplay,it is they will making a helicopter (IMPOSSIBLE TO CONTROL!!) is a warm designer glove on your hand. Flying a helipoter will become 2nd nature.

And it doesn't take long. You'll be surprised.

 

Don't buy a bunker. Wait. Talk to people here.

Just add to this: If you steal npc cars in passive, you don't get bounties on you. You can still get a wanted level though.

 

Also, as a CEO it's a Buzzard that you get to spawn at your feet.

While you are passive, yes. If you have triggered a bounty while passive you wont get it as long as you are passive. But after going active you will get a bounty.  When you haven't triggered a bounty while passive you will of course get no bounty after switching back. I already got so many bounties after switching back in active and this is the only possible explanation why. It's only hard to tell if you have triggered a bounty while passive because you don't get a message. It pops up after getting active again. Just try it out. Go in a empty public lobby in passive and steal 30-40 cars and go back in active. You should have triggered a bounty in passive and get it after switching back in active.

You give some utterly useless advice, which isn't surprising considering you're just as much of a noob as they are.

 

Bunker is by far the most profitable and easiest to manage freeroam business. Buy either Chumash or Farmhouse (preferably when on sale), upgrade Staff and Equipment, and settle into a routine of buying one batch of supplies, and selling "To Los Santos" when it's used up, as you'll only have a single vehicle sale every time. Learn how to get a solo public lobby as well to avoid griefers.

 

Stay far away from the Criminal Enterprise Starter Pack. It gives you old and uncompetitive vehicles, and poorly-located low-end businesses that you'll never earn anything from. The worst thing is, everything in the pack is given a trade-in value of $0, so if you want to get something better, you have to start from scratch anyway. It was terrible value for money when it launched, and has been totally eclipsed by subsequent moneymaking tools.

 

There are several treasure hunt style missions where you collect various items from across the map (action figures, playing cards, signal jammers, murder clues etc.). Google for a map of locations, and collect them all, as you get around $100,000 and a lot of RP for completing each set. You can do these in Invite Only.

 

The only flying vehicle any newbie should be buying is the Buzzard. Alternatively, it and other helicopters can be found and stolen all across the map if you just need one to get around (for Sightseer etc.).

Don't buy a bunker. Wait. Talk to people here.

 

I agree with @whywontyoulisten

 

TL;DR Skip starter pack and go straight for a Kosatka.

 

Even though you lost me at "criminal enterprise starting pack", I will still take my time to read your post, dissect it and tell you why this is a bad idea.

Not only because I think Rockstar and Take-Two don't deserve your money and GTA V E&E sucks, but because the pack isn't actually worth the 10 million credits it claims to represent.

Sure, if you do the math and buy everything in the pack separately, it costs 10 million credits, but you wouldn't do that, except maybe the office.

 

The Frogger is worthless. You have to call Pegasus to spawn it at a helipad, and drive there to pick it up. And sometimes it doesn't even spawn. The Buzzard spawns right next to you if you are active as CEO / VIP

Some of the cars are actually quite decent, but you can't sell them, so I give them Zero value. I wouldn't pay credits for any of them

The bunker is absolute crap, because it is in Paleto (worst location) and has ZERO trade-in value.

It gets even worse if you waste money on upgrading it, because eventually you'll want to move to Chumash or Farmhouse, and you only get back 50% of the upgrades budget.

 

Do Not Buy Or Use Businesses In Paleto. Not even the Doomsday facility for the Bogdan glitch. No one does the Bogdan glitch anymore.

You can do that same glitch with Cayo Perico now, which is even better. (it's harder to time with Casino heist though)

 

Also, how do you mean don't buy bunker? Sure, talk to people here. Most of them will tell you, you want a bunker eventually (Chumash or Farmhouse) so you can do the research and unlock mk2 guns and special ammo.

Whether or not you also use it to produce and sell weapons is up to you. With full upgrades, you can buy a single batch of supplies, let it run out for 20% product, and sell it as a single vehicle, easy.

 

As for MC businesses. Don't upgrade or resupply them. Even when they pay extra this week, you will get griefed on your sales.

And even if you make solo public session to avoid griefers, sales are slow and tedious.

Just use the MC businesses to unlock their product in the Nightclub.

 

While we're on the subject of things not to buy: Hangars at Los Santos International airport.

If you really want one, go for Fort Zancudo as they come with better perks, like free access to the base without 4-star wanted level, and you can always borrow a P-996 Lazer jet.

You can go steal a Buzzard,but I'm pretty sure it is not available (can't buy it,can't spawn it) until you hit level 42.

[4eyedcoupe]

@EyesDelight I've changed my PSN ID on more than one account without issue with trophies ect...I think it is just a disclaimer they put on there.   Also, regarding the messages/stickers...You can set your psn profile to private and also set it so only your friends can send you messages, this may help with that situation.  Good luck!

[SlipperyPete]

This is a response to AirWolf359 and poster whywontyoulisten.

 

-Her main gist is she does not want to be in freeroam,as most noobs don't. What noob enjoys being fodder for a mentally deficient deviant on a magic flying deathbike (the Oppressor)?

 

-The Criminal Pak is $10. Ten dollars. You get great way to jumpstart your GTA life. Yes,it wasn't worth it years ago when it was $80. But $10? Well worth it. Or do like I did and get a 2nd account on sale (Steam or Epic just had it for $14 and they gave the Criminal Pak for free). 

-I told her not to buy the bunker because it is included in the Criminal Pak. As is an apartment,MC Business (counterfeit cash),CEO Office with access to the Frogger (no Buzzard until you make level 42),MC Biker clubhouse and a 10-car garage. 

She will need the 10 car garage for all the great cars. Yes they have been eclipsed by newer cars but they are free. The Turismo R,Coquete,the Banshee...these are good cars-they won't win any races,but they are still nice to have. And the Duke O Death,which to this day is a fantastic workhorse. Before you say the Kuruma (especially now that RS screwed up),keep in mind she is new-I don't know if she has 2 nickels to rub together and the Duke is free.

And ton of outfits and tatoos,which it sounds like she would enjoy.

Not to mention the $$. You get 1 million straight up. Then it just keeps coming. $250,000 for Solomon's scavenger hunt and the Alien Outfit,$250,000 for the stone hatchet (which she can use in RDR2 if she plays it) $100,000 for complete this,$100,000 for completing that. (Not sure if these are exclusive to the Criminal Pak).

"You give some utterly useless advice, which isn't surprising considering you're just as much of a noob as they are.

Bunker is by far the most profitable and easiest to manage freeroam business."

The 1st sentence wasn't necessary,or nice.

The properties in the Criminal PAK are in some very decent locations,EXCEPT for the bunker. It is the worse location of any property in the game. The only use I get out of it is the gun range and to feed my nightclub.

-Now her main gist was to stay out of freeroam but make money (with more experience that may change)

So,use Counterfeit Cash,Headhunter and Sightseer to make $$ to buy the other MC Businesses with an eye on buying the Nightclub. Use the Nightclub and other Grinds to but the sub and Sparrow for Cayo. Then she is set. She can either still Grind the MC Biz or just let it feed the Nightclub while she does Cayo over and over.

Hi everyone, Thank you all so much for your responses.  I don't know how to use the "Quote" feature yet and will try on another response. 

 

You can't buy the Criminal Starter Pack without a PS Plus account. I live below and I mean way below the National Poverty Level. I can't work now. I used to own my own company that I ran out of my home. I still have a very small eBay company, but it only brings in a few dollars a month. I can't afford to even spend $10 on anything since I have numerous medications after getting into a car accident and breaking 8 vertebrae. 

 

I have a Bunker and I do the missions which you can't do in Passive or in an empty lobby. You have to do them in a lobby with at least 3 or 4 players. lol Yeah, I know, it's sad. I haven't had the GTA$ to buy anything to protect myself. One of my characters is Level 110. The other is just barely 50. I will probably go for a name change since the potato head that's been griefing me is still doing it. Talk about a sore loser. I just wanted to help someone with missions and not become a "girlfriend". 

 

All of you have great advice, seriously, and I will try all of the tricks you've given me. 

 

Is anyone else missing the Special Race Series icon that was northwest of the psychiatrist's office? It was a steering wheel right at the entrance to that building with several large arches in Pacific Bluffs? I've got a Daily Objective to do one of those races and after the game being inaccessible for hours last night, it was gone. I've got 2 days of completed objectives under my belt, I wanted a 3rd day. Both of my characters have the same mission. "Participate in a Special Race Series". Well, how can I do that if it's missing. 

 

I checked my phone. I checked YouTube videos which all started by getting into the pink circle marked "Special Race Series" in the driveway. lol I looked on the phone and in the Options/Jobs/Rockstar Created/Stunt Races, etc. Nothing is available and none of the names of these races was available anywhere in any of the categories.  If anyone can help, I would really appreciate it. My Daily Objectives change around 9 or 10 pm PST. My PSN ID is JaxGoneWhack and I would appreciate an invite to a Special Race Series.

Hi, Oh I forgot to add that I have collected all of the treasures, action figures, playing cards, and I'm still collecting hidden caches when I have the time. I've done that with both characters and made over a mil in GTA$ within a day. With both characters, I do the Daily Objectives every day when Rockstar isn't hiding them. lol Right now I collect about $250,000 a day with both characters with just the Daily Objectives, Treasure chests (which you can collect even if you've received the Frontier outfit :-))) The hidden caches are harder because I don't have a sub with sonar to collect them quickly. I have to use the map online

 

Again, thank you all for your help and support. You've been great and I will be able to afford better weapons, etc. on my own without having to pay for them. That makes me feel good. 

 

I have completed a lot of research in my bunker. All I have to get is one of the items that I can get a Weapons Workshop with to arm myself.

Update: Rockstar just sent me GTA$750,000.00 for my troubles with the Special Race Series. That's a lot better than the $30,000 I would've earned for completing the Daily Objectives.  I won't say anything bad about Rockstar for a week or so. hehehe

Update: I wanted everyone to know that I've been having a lot of trouble with this game. The glitches are killers. I've run into at least 5 or 6 of some of the worst ones. lol I got hit by the Kifflom Bomb, in the regular game.  Mike paid the $10,000 and the new mission should've started. That didn't happen. In fact, I lost any ability to use the internet connection on the iFruit, lost the map, and it all happened to my character online as well. I freaked out. I was at the end of the Mike, Franklin, and Trevor saga, almost. I had to start that all over again. Loading an earlier version fixed the online game, but doing that in the regular game didn't do anything. Every time I tried to access the internet with the phone, it would blink and I would lose all functions necessary to complete even the simplest missions.

 

In the Online version, I can't collect any treasures with my first character which is now Level 118 with all the stats maxed out. I was collecting those when I got tired of doing missions. It was a way to chill out and $20,000 is pretty good for a few minutes work in a helicopter. This didn't start at the same time that the Kifflom thing happened. It started much later. I got the Frontier outfit, then contacted Rockstar to make sure it was okay to continue collecting the treasures. They said it was okay so I kept doing it when I wasn't messing around with friends. This doesn't happen with my second character which I don't understand at all. 

 

My Navy Revolver won't count headshots. I thought I had to get 50 headshots with it and noticed that it wasn't counting them. Rockstar wants video of it and I'm waiting on them to tell me where to send it so that's it's not listed. I guess they don't like people knowing about the glitches. lol

 

My weapon wheel won't work in missions. I hit L1 and nothing happens. The blue area doesn't move over other weapons. It will only allow me to have a sniper rifle or something else equally useless in Heists, Survival or Deathmatch, etc. I know when it's going to happen because I can't change radio stations on the way to a mission. That's part of the reason I usually try to take my own car. This doesn't happen with my second character either. Hmmmm......

 

There's more, but I don't want to bore you all. I think that's why Rockstar was so generous to me when the Special Stunt Series disappeared and I couldn't sign on for hours. They knew how much I was struggling with all of the problems. 

 

I did get a week's worth of Objectives done and got the big bonus.  I have a Bunker, an Arcade, and an MC for my first character. I have an MC for my second character. The MC's were thanks to Slippery Pete who told me they were discounted.  I was able to buy 2 for the price of 1. Now I really need to buy vehicles that will be a bit more protection than what I currently have.

-There are a thousand ways to play this game...I don't know anything about the Kifflom Bomb,but if you mean glitches in the game,that is up to RS to fix. If they find it in their heart to throw a few nickels at the programming bug. But,since that would subtract from their 6 billion dollar pile of profit,I wouldn't hold my breath.

-RS must really like you! I didn't get any loot after I completed the Frontier quest. And I tried a few days after.

-I'm pretty sure I got ripped off with the Navy Revolver too. I went on a mission (Steal The Titan) and went to the boardwalk where all the NPCs gather. I headshot lots of NPCs and I don't think I they counted. From vids I watched,they should have counted. Then I used it in freeroam and still no payoff. Oh,well. 

-Glad you are a fellow MC Prez! But after a while,it starts to feel like a job. If I were you,my next move would be a Nightclub (sorry to say,you just missed a sale). With the Bunker,Hangar or CEO warehouse and 3 of the 5 MC biz,you have the lazy man's way to riches. I'm making $$ as we speak. This businesses feed the Nightclub. It doesn't matter if you have supplies there or not. You never have to walk in them again if you don't want to. It's a nice way to make passive $$$. The 3 MCs that pay the most are Coke,Meth and Cash.

-I didn't forget you. I've just been busy IRL and distracted when I get in the game.  CAYO!!!
