This pretty much confirms we are getting an update on July 19, or at least something interesting/some news. This event week runs from July 7 to July 18, eleven days. There is nothing particularly interesting about this event week besides the eleven day span of it.

Casino work missions by contacting Ms. Baker? Been a while since I last done those 

[awesomefoot]

Guess I'll mix in some Casino Work.

 

Not sure I'll bother redoing the actual missions. Cashing Out is a pain with randoms.

[clinical oppression]

Agatha missions normally pay 7-9k . 3x barely makes it worth it but at least doing one gets you 200k bonus.  I have cashing out waiting to do for 2 years now lol . I guess I'll try with a random again . Anyone know if going to zancudo to grab a tank is still working?  

[ilovefreebird]

I like doing the freemode Casino missions every once in a while. I collect chips as sort of a "savings" account. Just passed $11 million in chips and this week will help a bit.

 

Thanks, @Spider-Vice!

There's a Overtime Shootout and Overtime Rumble? Are these two adversary modes different or I'm tripping?

If I remember, Shootout is the slow version where one player positions their car at a time, whereas Rumble is the faster version where everyone goes at once. 

[Shadowfennekin]

I'll do an Agatha mission for sure! They're quick and easy, easy 200k!

 

I got to see what mission those are as I don't recall the names, depending on what they are I might do them

[Rammer2k]

Another meh week.  Was hoping for another round of 3x LS Rep.

3x Arena War rep when?

[DrEeveell]

If I buy a Penthouse, will they stop sending me the email every damn day?

 

The main change Arena Wars needs is that the unlocks aren't 90% useless garbage. They should at least do like the LSCM where you're get a vehicle unlock every 5 levels.

A few months ago I helped a random on Cashing Out and went to Zancudo looking for a Buzzard. Didn't find one but grabbed a Lazer. Never thought of looking for a tank though. The Lazer worked, it just took a while. I flew a figure 8 with the center over the ranch. I could only catch like 2 targets every half loop and sometimes a 3rd when reinforcements came in helicopters and land vehicles.

 

I had also driven by Sandy Shores but nothing was there. Probably should've checked NOOSE HQ for the Buzzard.

[Officer Friendly]

Is it 3x casino chips as well?

Correct. Played a game today and I didn't even get a turn. 3/4 of my team mates failed to score a point, and all of the opposition got 2 or 3 points each. Rumble is the better version.

No, just the standard 5k.

They were double pay like 4 weeks ago. 

 

Anyway, they better have fixed the yellow corona glitch with some of the casino work missions. 

[Spider-Vice]

Seems to truly be triple pay this time, at first dataminers like Tez found a 3x multiplier and it was 2x, but this time it truly seems to be 3x. You just call Baker to get some missions.

 

Haven't encountered any corona issues so far but I'm on PC.

[fryday]

for all german newswire/forum user:

 

the german newswire has an translation error again. you have to play the mission cashing out to receive additional 200k.

 

the german newswire says the mission is called "Bargeld lacht", which dont even exist. its called " auszahlung", this is the mission you need to play.

[Timsalabimbo]

So has anyone received the cash bonus yet? Those 72 hours have well passed without payment.

[PaeganLoveSong]

I just received mine this morning, did the missions Saturday morning with a couple of friends.

We ended up doing this, with one of us taking a sniping position on the hill between the roads and two of us stealing Lazers. It took some time, but we're all so rusty that after 4 failed attempts on the ground we decided that air support was necessary. 

 

Damn, I wish we could still call in our personal aircraft, because I remember Cashing Out being laughably quick with a ground team and air support via 2 people in the Hunter.

It's hard to understand why they made casino work missions pay so low in the beginning. Even on 3x payout I'm getting $18-30K per mission, and 5K chips as usual. Well it's 6K RP per mission also if you're into that.

[Gridl0k]

I hope the Diamond heist gets a buff, I ran a couple this week with the diamonds, for all the f*cking back and forth preps it doesn't really make any sense for me to do this instead of CPH - and crucially, I can't run it alone. It was good when it came out but these days eh.

 

With 2 players everything is faster and it might make more sense/money than a CPH solo, but probably not. And that's with guaranteed diamonds.

 

 

 

Today is Casino mission day I think. I enjoy them even though they stole my aircraft.

Yeah, the pay is absolutely terrible. I guess it's because of the short cooldown between each one. I think it's like 2 minutes, which is pretty damn short.

Still nothing an entire week later.

 

To clarify, I'm talking about the bonus for doing a Freemode mission for Ms. Baker. I've done several of those every single day during this event week.

I'd guess extended bonus = extended payout

[awesomefoot]

Double $ on Payphones hit was added today. Not sure about other stuff.

[motomami]

Is the Silent & Sneaky casino heist broken for anyone else? Guards somehow see you when you reach top floor even though the lights are turned off via EMP. I don't remember that being a thing.

Yes, it was so much easier using e.g. the Akula or Annihilator Stealth.

 

I recommend making the Half-Track your active personal vehicle before starting the mission.

Afaict, it's the only (decent/effective) weaponized vehicle you can still use for the Casino missions.

 

Drive it towards the back of the grassy area to the front left of the ranch.

Find a good spot where the gunner can hit everything coming at you on the ground and in the air.

Make sure before taking the first shot.

 

When done, get back into the HT asap, drive it rightwards on to the freeway and chase down the choppers.

 

I've been reluctant to post this, just incase...

Through July 18th.

Does this mean we'll still be able to do it on the 18th, or it ends close of day on the 17th?

We rocked two weaponized Insurgents, actually, as well as a weaponized Ignus. It didn't help much until getting to Fort Zancudo and stealing two Lazers.
