God speed to anyone who gets the Merryweather fooligan mission, it'll take you back to a time of bullsh*t mission design circa 2014-2018

Got it thrice. On the 2nd, I tried to call the Khanjali, but it spawned on the other side of the "river". 3rd time, I said f it and went all in with guns.

 

Luckily, I didn't have it for the rest.

I don't mind that one.  I roll in in a Khanjali and blast away.  Only takes a few minutes to blow stuff up and escape.

[Rammer2k]

I prefer the APC over the Khanjali since it has a much wider angle for the gun.

All clothing and accessories will be awarded and distributed within 72 hours of logging in after January 10.

 

For me it means "never"...

f*ck that mission, so, so much.

 

Also - snow til the 11th? If so, that's incredible! I'll be cruising in my Comet Safari ignoring all the crying that'll be going on about it here.

[KineticZeroZ]

Of all the event weeks they’ve had, this is certainly one of them. 

[ChrisChros87]

Another new bike and no doubt the Bati 801 is still the goat for a total of $15,000!

[Tomtomsengermany]

25 fooligans this week alone?

 

2023 is already crap 

[mr_j]

I completed more than 25 of these Fooligans before, it means I will get these after I will log in after January 10? Not that I cared much about those, but I'm curious to know.

[Lupo-Akane]

Flip,  wish they turned down the flipping cd on the fat man's jobs.....

Almost an hour to get another mission is stupid.

Seriously though. Do these count total jobs since release or does it only count from today? Ive already done 11 or 12. If I have to start over that sucks. Mainly because of the 48 minute cooldown period.

Since DLC drop I've done all 50 for award  + 50 supplies runs for acid labs award... made nice money along the way first with Dax jobs on double, then with acid lab bonus 

It was easy-peasy, first like 10-15 done legit with driving/flying there and back and then jump in to 'fast' mode using job warping around map.

 

But it is a great week for me - Pyro finally with some discount  Got two of them, as presets for both characters - they worked hard!

Gonna do me some chill winter flying business, love them missions and it could be interesting with snow

Plus, sidekicks who also complete 3 Fooligan Jobs as an Associate or Bodyguard this week will receive a bonus of GTA$100K deposited within 72 hours of completion. All clothing and accessories will be awarded and distributed within 72 hours of logging in after January 10.

 

Well, at least I'll get something out of helping my wife finish the Fooligan missions to unlock the acid lab upgrade.

According to a player on Reddit that contacted R* Support, no, they do not count towards the 25.

No one is stuck doing this one, simply switch sessions and call Dax for a new job, switching sessions does not start the countdown timer.

[Tez2]

LS Smoking Jacket is non-existent on PC, PS4 and Xbox One. It's only available on PS5 and Xbox Series.

 

		case joaat("DLC_MP_SUM2_G9EC_M_JBIB_7_0"):
			return "CLO_E1M_U_7_0" /* GXT: LS Smoking Jacket */;
			break;

 

 

[Spider-Vice]

That sounds like when they (not the main devs but whoever comes up with weekly events) came up with the rewards for the Fooligan Jobs they didn't consider last-gen/PC or didn't realise some of the clothing was current-gen exclusive. Oops.  Would expect that to be changed lmao.

 

or maybe it's a sign they expected last-gen to be no more by now and PC to have the current-gen content

[Giantsgiants]

I'm still on last gen. Does this mean that I only need to do 10 Fooligan missions to receive everything?

[Standard Deluxe 59]

Meh vehicle but that's okay I'm all out of garage space anyway. Nice to see the snow stick around for another week.

I died a few times taking out the base but the escape wow. I was losing the chopper on my CEO Sanchez and down near the Casino. Then it de-spawned and R* immediately respawned another chopper and a bunch of land vehicles all around me. And of course one of the idiots spawned driving down the wrong way of the freeway, causing all traffic to crash. I crashed from that and was shot up in a second. Respawned, stole a Surge and drove off through the Vinewood Hills and escaped.

 

Oh and after I grabbed the Surge, I tried calling Merryweather for a backup Helicopter but the answering machine said they were all busy.

I'm wondering the same thing. They're always so vague with the sh*t they say. 

[nb2010]

Best thing to come out of this "event" week is snow til the 11th!!

There are 3 waves of reinforcements. I think it's easier and quicker just to stay and fight than to run away.

[ambi3nt]

And ofc this sh*t had to be not immediate, but two weeks after and whatever time you need to spend with R* support. Gonna be a fun chat with them on how they plan to reward non existing item.

• Completing your first Fooligan Job will land you the Ice Vinyl and Ice Vinyl Cut jackets

• Successfully completing 10 Fooligan Jobs will net you both the Black and White Bigness Ski masks

• Complete 25 Fooligan Jobs to receive the LS Smoking Jacket

• Meanwhile, all players who purchase (or already own) the Equipment Upgrade for the Acid Lab will receive the Yellow SN Rooster Revere Collar party shirt

 

Thanks R* for offering us some free clothes. Can I see what they look like? No? Why are the models are standing in front of each other and hiding the clothing? Is it because they are ashamed of being covered with sh*tty branding or that they look like wet garbage bags?

 

At least the biker jackets and cuts made you look cool, like a male stripper. The vinyl jackets and cuts make you look like a discount male stripper caught out in the rain because he missed the bus.

 

Other than for collector reasons, I don't care about any of this clothing. I might wear the party shirt, but the rest can be thrown away. I really should play other games this week, but GTAO is my "comfort food" of a video game. Something to do while listening to audio books or watching twitch. Good thing we have two weeks to accomplish this goal because 25 missions in an activity with a 48 minute cooldown is ridiculous. At least the clothing is so forgettable and bad that I won't notice if it's not delivered.

[Rammer2k]

Rockstar is so hard up with the drip feed, that they are drip feeding unlocks we do weeks later.  Wow...
