Advise on Selling Nightclub/Warehouse in Populated Lobbies?

Since lobbies and players are unpredictable, what are the signs that I should look out for if a lobby is dangerous? Any tips?

First things first, scan the map before starting the Sale mission, if there any players too close to your business, wait until they're gone.

 

While also scanning the map, if there are too many players on jets(Lazer and Hydra in specific), Deluxos and Op Mk2, then do not start the mission...Even those players gets killed and their vehicles destroyed, chances are high that they will just go back to them once they're available again.

 

If you still want to try to do the sales:

 

Goes without saying but if you're doing it solo, then register as a CEO instead of MC so you can have access to BST and Ghost Organization if you need it.

 

Stick to Bunker and Nightclub sales ONLY, the sale vehicles from these businesses can have their armor upgraded to withstand a lot of missiles, and they have lock-on immunity from homing missiles like the Imani Tech vehicles.

 

Do not attempt to do CEO Special Cargo, MC businesses and Air Freight sales in public sessions...In general they take way too long to complete, and although the sale vehicles aren't weak they can still be locked onto by homing missiles like any regular vehicle, any idiot in a OP Mk2 slaughters these vehicles easily if you let them, meaning that you have to get out of them(as they can't be locked on if you're not driving them) and defend them on foot if they come to you, making you lose too much time and likely to fail the sale mission.

 

Import/Export sales also aren't worth the trouble, the cars are fast and got lock-on immunity, but they lacks armor and will blow up in a single explosion, in crowded sessions the NPC traffics tends to be far more erratic and annoying to deal with, some of the sale missions makes you too vulnerable like the one where you need to offload the car in a barge out in the sea by using a Cargobob(which is NOT immune to lock-on).

Also I/E sales don't get monetary bonuses for selling in public sessions, you just don't get chased by enemy NPCs.

 

Watch the lobby feed and see if there's one or two players killing many other players. Those are tryhards farming kills on low leveled players, keep a LONG distance from them.

 

Have a look at the extended map at every 10 seconds, if you see any players coming to you, or you going to cross paths with a player, use Ghost organization. 

 

Lookout for CEO/VIP orgs using ghost organization, also singular players using Lester's Off-radar, if that pop-ups in your feed then you can assume the worse will happen(7 times out of 10 they will be coming to you for a cheap surprise attack) and counter that by using your own ghost organization.

 

Put on a point of interest on each Facility location around the map(or memorize them if you can), if you see any player on one of them then it's likely that they're there to use the orbital Canon on someone, you don't want that to be you because no sale vehicle can survive that.

 

And finally, get ready to kill your internet connection ASAP in case the sale mission fails or your vehicle gets blown up, on PS4 and PS5 you can set it up to get it disconnected in less than a second. On PC it gets a bit more complicated.

I recommend selling Import/Export in a quiet, nearly empty public lobby. Less is more, as long as it's more than one.

Or maybe even a private lobby with a friend, as long as he is not in your organization. You should even be able to sell your own Import/Export at the same time.

 

By the way, barge at sea? I know of an Import/Export sourcing mission where you have to retrieve a car from a barge with a cargobob, but I never had to airlift an Import/Export car during a sale.

 

Only Nightclub makes you do that, but once you get to the Cargobob part, your global signal should be turned off.

However, I still recommend skipping that mission, as it's usually out in Paleto, and I don't like Cargobobbing expensive things over water. All it takes is a glitch or a wrong button press.

As a general rule, I never fly over water when Cargobobbing something, anything.

That's exactly how I do it lol, just cause I don't have many friends that still play and I'm too lazy to invite randoms.

 

I totally understand not being into that though and preferring to use invite only, just not my kinda thing is all.

right now i'm back in public lobbies (just to do heists because of rockstar's challenge).

i did beat pac standard on hard and got the sweater.

I enjoy selling in populated lobbies on PS5. I watch my map closely and ghost org at the first sign of interest in me. It usually works. The other day I turned under 600k of goods into an 800k payout --not too shabby.

 

I wouldn't do it on PC, no sir.
