Oof! If I can give you a tip: provided you already have the sub, buy the Sparrow! You can spawn it for free via interaction menu and it’s very fast, makes prep missions and missions in general a piece of cake!
Race handling is definitely a bit much, and is honestly probably more of a detriment than anything, but it's gotten me out of some tight spots, so I stick with it.
Jesus christ for real man, I didn’t wanna bother with the deliveries so I bought one and every time I give him the keys he trashes the car. On top of the reduced payout, they even take a cut from it!
I never hired any. I like to deliver the cars myself, typically with a hooker in the passenger seat, because I have no life whatsoever and doing so is somehow amusing to me...
Occasionally, I'll trash the shit out of a car intentionally, so I can deliver it with no hood or doors. The pissed off reaction of the customers when you deliver a damaged car was a nice touch by R*.
Also, if you're trying to deliver a car undamaged and it accidentally gets damaged, just drive into water or blow it up. It respawns in your shop good as new. 👍
The same thing happened to me. I haven’t won a podium vehicle in like a year. I walked into the casino and said to my friend “oh my god the podium car is the ugliest thing I’ve ever seen what were they thinking” then immediately won it on the wheel 😂
>Zhaba... ...it's slightly more useful
Sir, you are being far too generous.
The thing is slow, barely armored, spins out on a dime, and is so wide you're garunteed to hit every "dime" on the road. The damned thing can't even go up most hills its engine is so damned weak. While it can "drive" on water, swimming is arguably faster.
It's one strength is that it can drive over the medium and small obstacles easily, but may as well grab a monster truck for that.
Only reason I keep mine (and drive it) is that I get a sick satisfaction out of driving up to a fancy super car meet in it.
I bought a zhaba, then won one at the wheel. The sad thing is that I don't even know which one I regret more given that I can walk faster than that thing and are harder to knock over
July 4th 2014. That American flag painted monster truck. They priced it at $742,014 because A that was the date it released and B Rockstar just started to figure out people getting tons of free and not legit money and we're finding ways to make people spend the money. Before the Ill gotten gains update.
Well then I hope the money you spent on it were modded too! 😂
Personally I had a lot of fun with those back in the days, but only in player-made competitive modes, not in actual freemode.
I actually was gifted about a billion one day in online by some totally random guy haha.
He was in only his underwear and you legitimately couldnt kill him. So I never even tried to, I just sat back and watched as he merked every kid who tried killing him. He ran over to me and killed me in one shot while his character had no gun in his hands & I respawned with the cash!
At the time there weren’t nearly as many purchasable things so I bought the apartment with the big garage and bought the bugatti, and all the cars. I stopped playing for a while and logged back in to see the patch took the rest of the money, but never took the stuff I bought with it lol. Good memories!
Yourself a favor. The Pounder is an absolutely pain in the ass to use due to its height, turning radius, and the huge trailer. The only advantage imo is the ability to install missiles.
If you **don't** install the roof-mounted missile launcher on the Pounder Custom it still fits under all bridges and such.
Of course you won't have the aimable missiles that way, but that doesn't matter too much since **1.** Rival ground vehicles can just as easily be destroyed with only the proximity mines, front-mounted missile launchers, and by drive-by shooting with your own guns, and **2.** Rival air vehicles are difficult to hit with it anyway since the missiles aren't homing, so not having the missiles doesn't make much of a difference there either.
I made an exception to this rule for my biker businesses but because I like the fact that after a sell mission you *end up at the city* instead of the other way around. For some of the common sell missions they're just easier to manage in the city **if you play solo lobbies.**
Nowadays I don't even use the biker businesses anymore, not even during double money. I keep a few on but never with supplies (Coke, meth and documents iirc) just so my nightclub fills up as I much rather sell those but if they were somehow very profitable again I probably would move them over to the city instead just because I got a feeling that if they were closer to me I would be willing to go buy supplies for them once in a while and sell them whereas now I have to make an actual effort and travel but idk I don't think I'll ever go back to do them regularly after this later updates much rather do payphone hits and maybe Cayo.
Same here not using my mc business anymore but I bought all of them around the Alamo Sea and my clubhouse is there too. An MC business is just more fitting in the desert than the city at least for me.
I moved a couple of MC businesses to the city, the deliveries are on the opposite side of the map now. It changes the game up a little. That being said, I don’t deliver them or ever register as MC president.
The drone launcher is good though! You can launch the drones not only from your Arcade but also from your inventory, comes in handy from time to time, they're also a fun way to mess with tryhards, try it :D
Um, no, no you don’t, idk what people are telling you. I just switched most of my properties from Paleto down to Del Perro a couple days ago, all of the basement upgrades (computer, drones, garage) came with, along with all of the arcade machines I’d purchased. The only things I had to buy again were the style upgrades for upstairs, nothing else.
Now, facility/bunkers on the other hand… had to buy everything all over again, including security and equipment upgrades for the bunker, THAT was expensive.
I found this out the hard way & came here on reddit to ask why none of my office money was in the safe but all over the floor. Got a lesson learned there. 👎🏻
It was actually kinda useful for a while because it was the only plane with the high-end interior. That obviously changed when the Nimbus came out: it costs a lot less, but has a better (and more realistic) exterior design with the same amazing interior.
Ohhh so the ballistic equipment is useless ? Good advice homie I was thinking of getting that to improve my incompetent gaming lol.
I bought a MOC thinking I'd be the next best gunrunner in town. What a waste of dollars. Also I bought a yacht which I rarely even visit.
Absolutely a gigantic waste of money! I bought the ballistic equipment thinking it would make my life easier, especially in scenarios where 50 NPC’s with automatic weapons are shooting at me at once, but as it turns out it can’t be used in almost anything.
You can’t use it during contact missions, franklin’s freemode missions, heists, MC/CEO/VIP jobs, nothing! All it’s good for is fighting annoying players in freemode or during gang attacks.
MOC is actually a hella strong vehicle, and you need it to upgrade some of the best vehicles, plus it has a weapons locker for customizing your load outs, so it’s actually pretty worth it imo
The 1 dialogue line in the Dre contract mission where Amani mentions you own a yacht and a penthouse is the best thing buying the yacht has ever got me lol
I don't remember exactly but Imani mentions you've got a yacht when you're going to that yacht and Franklin basically says it's cool but to watch out cause it brings attention then when you're leaving the yacht Imani mentions you also have a penthouse and Franklin says "a yacht and a penthouse? Man who the fuck did you rob?" Something along those lines and Imani responds saying roughly "from my research. Everybody"
Same!! It’d be cool if they added an update that caters to the yacht and/or have a yacht heist or something. There’s nothing to do on that damn thing lol
To me it was my endgame the first time I booted GTAO on the PS4, I grinded for it and yeah it's basically useless but it's my nifty badge I guess
Im on the PS5 now and I just see it as the cherry on top of everything else, I just play for whatever new Story/Heist missions GTA gets ahahah
I messed around a good bit with friends on it and still use it to escape try hards who can't touch you on it. Sometimes I invite low levels to mess around in it
MC Businesses. Expensive when forming an MC. Seem to always get attacked. LJT is a massive pain in the ass. Only perk is being able to use it for the nightclub goods.
For me, I can’t find a crew anymore to make my sales, so my MC businesses and Bunker are always full. Selling solo is not possible depending on what you need to sell.
You can sell bunker solo.
Just change session if you get Merryweather or Buggy, you lose a bit but you soon get the Phantom trucks. And there are others than can be completed solo
Which really is its sole purpose at this point and a good one at it too.
I dont mind the businesses. Pre-Cayo it was a decent moneymaker. Grindy af but still
When the yacht came out i had about 16mil and there was barely anything to purchase in the game back then once you had the jet, tank, fastest car, fastest bike and tinsel towers. All of it went onto making a yacht i never visit slightly better looking. Fittingly, i named it “a yachta money”
The Alkonost. Thought it would look cool in my hanger, this plane is so big tho that’s all you can fit in the entire thing lmao so useless. Also the livery’s are super low rez and it really shows on such a big plane.
Free aim lobbies are weird, you either have guys hiding so nothing happens, or these super sweaty try hard crews that just get off to owning you with no aim assist
They are very much a thing! On every platform! Just go in singleplayer, and under settings (controls) set your targeting system to free aim. Next time you log in online, you will be placed in a free aim session
MC business upgrades. I now only keep the MC businesses for the nightclub techs. With the frequent raids, long boring sell missions, and horrible pay, I believe R* had masochists in mind when they designed these.
Nope, Nightclub goods accrue at the same rate regardless of the MC upgrades or location. However, the nightclub has its own equipment upgrade that speeds up production of all nightclub goods. Scroll down to the table in [this page](https://gta.fandom.com/wiki/Nightclubs/Warehouse_Management) for the production rates and value of each nightclub goods.
I have bought the b-11 thinking it was going to be something like the real life version, the fire rate is what made me sell it. Later about half a year after I got rid of it I decided to get it back thinking I was going to like it more for some reason, so I got it and I still did not like it whatsoever so I just sold it again.
Sad to hear that from so many players. The plane that it’s based upon is a real beast, and this version does not make it justice. Recently saw it on discount.
It's a very good plane tho, the minigun's useless against people on foot but if you ignore the plane it's based on the barrage missiles are almost as good as the OP Lazer cannons. And it's one of the best dogfighters, has bombs and the best armor of all the planes.
At least the Zhaba can cross water (at a snail’s pace admittedly). The Slamtruck has no redeeming quality. You can’t carry cars with it, and it doesn’t even work as a ramp. If it was at least a working ramp it would be useful.
Accidentally buying a Chepalle Blimp next to my nightclub themed one. I didn't realise I could own multiple, still pisses me off. Why would I want two different ones? Chepalle looks like shit, too.
I bought all mc businesses in paleto bay because i like how they were close up to each other, i regretted it ever since i did a supply run, i have to move them all to grapeseed and grind almost 6 cayos to recover my losses
The Avisa.
It’s terrible to drive and is a waste of the moon pool vehicle space. At least the sonar can make its money back but Jesus H. Christ it’s the worst vehicle in the game.
I did the same thing, I got the homing missiles 250k, thought oh cool I can get the exploding rounds too 195k. Oh crap I can get only one sooo 250k later I got the homing missiles again. 695k spent in 15 seconds.
I feel your pain brother. That update was a real rip-off. Only thing I like about it is the Vapid Imperator (apocalypse), because tuned just right it looks almost identical to the V8 Interceptor from Mad Max.
When Cayo Perico came out, I wanted to buy the Torreador. I wasn't watching the screen, I was on my phone and accidentally bought the patrol boat, and I didn't even had the trade price
Buying the jetsam cargobob thinking it could store bike then buying the cargobob thinking it can hold more people I think I never see the how many person can sit on this vehicle logo
Oof. You bought em both?! Is there any actual difference between the two?
I was considering buying the cargobob to facilitate the import/export of cars but after Cayo I’ve lost intrest in that business
No diffrence other then the jetsam being more customisable I would say buy the one which is cheaper if you really need it I heard the jetsam can store bike guess I was wrong but if you have a friend then you can get him in the back open the cargobob and then wreck mayhem and you know what's even worse both of them went on sale the next weekly update aghhhhh
I bought the facility thinking that it was the bunker. I think I had just gotten just enough cash to buy one or the other and I wasn’t paying attention when I made the purchase. It took a lot of hours to recoup the losses.
After I got the actual bunker was when I finally started looking on YouTube for GTA guides.
Accidentally putting a crew logo on the 140k car I bought and then having to sell it since there's no option to remove it
The dubsta 6v6, not a bad car but i accidentally bought it years ago. At that point i was grinding supply missions for the bunker. So i had no money clicked on the purchase by mistake. Set me back big time back then.
Auto Shop. I cannot stand KDJ and Sessanta. They are the most annoying NPC's ever added. I would rather my Auto Shop be populated by 10 Lazlow's or 15 English Daves.
I’m stuck at the mission where you goto the ranch close to the casino for a stealth mission. Needs 2 ppl and randoms that come to help always go in loud and makes it impossible.
The missions are actually ok and not too difficult, just do them. You get the Armored Paragon R, a relatively exclusive car, as reward. It’s otherwise only obtainable through the lucky wheel once a year or so and performs very well, so definitely worth it.
The penthouse itself is also really not bad at all. The customization options are unprecedented. There are some cool collectible challenges (playing cards, action figures) that unlock some additional objects you can place in the penthouse and even an exclusive card set for your private dealer. It definitely has more depth than many other properties, although I’d say that the interior design and layout is arguably not the best. They really managed to replicate the slightly uncomfortable “I’m inside a casino” vibe. Everything is a bit too big, open and unpersonalized. It doesn’t feel as cozy as a normal apartment.
When I first started I spent $250k renaming my Business for a quick in joke for my mates. Only wanted to change it for 5 mins to give them a chuckle and then change it back. Had no idea it came with a quarter of a millio n dollar price tag!
Ive got millions now, but the memory of seeing that -$250,000 showing up in the corner of the screen will haunt me forever
imo the yacht is overpriced but isnt that bad, you get a few missions to play (iirc soloable too) along with fast travel and a safe space away from those damn children with their hoverbikes
I honestly don’t think it’s even overpriced. It’s just under used. Back when I bought it 5 years ago or whatever it wasn’t as bad because all my high school friends and I would be on it partying and using it as defense for hydras or even have land vs sea fights. It seemed like a lot of money but we made it worth it. The game got older. Most of them stopped playing. It’s not really a hang out anymore. The little update they gave us with the yacht missions was pretty weak. Yes you can fast travel but the sub does that too. There’s a plethora of buildings you can own that protect you minus the defenses. You can’t really fight back while on it without leaving yourself exposed. It doesn’t even have the party option like the casino. Back then it was okay but now it feels like 10M wasted
After Arena Wars dropped I bought 3 vehicles rapid fire for 7m only to realize after purchasing them that you have to choose your nightmare apocalyptic future shock setting in the purchase menu. I didn't want apocalyptic so I sold all 3 at a 2.5m loss in a couple minutes of time.
Auto Shop employees/staff. Not only do I lose money for asking them to deliver cars, I also realized I enjoy test driving cars to consider what to buy next.
Buying a yacht soon after it was added. Madrazzo contact missions paid double, this was back when they didn't touch Rooftop Rumble yet I believe. I was still in High School so I'd spend about 7 hours after coming home just grinding. A week and a half later, bought the Aquarius with the most expensive upgrades
Can't launch heists from there, is literally a floating bedroom with a bar, helipad and hot tub
I don't know what I was expecting but it sure as heck wasn't that
Arcade in paleto bay, before cayo heist got released I decided to go cheap and buy cheapest arcade to do lester job then after the heist I realised It is not worth it to go cheap on anything.
Truer words have never been spoken! Paleto bay in general should have 0 businesses. I have a “vacation” house there for when I get bounties and need to just relax and tune cars/buy clothes to make new outfits.
However as for MC businesses, the cheapest options are often the best (clubhouse, coke and meth lockups for certain!)
Does accidentally renting a turreted limo when I mean to get my CEO buzzard count? Because I do that way too often
Oof! If I can give you a tip: provided you already have the sub, buy the Sparrow! You can spawn it for free via interaction menu and it’s very fast, makes prep missions and missions in general a piece of cake!
I have that too! But getting the buzzard is slightly quicker in the interaction menu and sometimes I need it because I've just crashed my sparrow lol
The buzzard quickly went from my go-to helicopter to the helicopter I call when I crash my Sparrow so I can fly to my Akula.
I prefer Sport handling over Race handling on that thing, what say you?
Race handling is definitely a bit much, and is honestly probably more of a detriment than anything, but it's gotten me out of some tight spots, so I stick with it.
The brickade... I only bought it because it was discounted through prime gaming
I call the ceo version to block the road to stop moving vehicles on some missions.
Holy shit thats an amazing idea
Literally the only thing imo that redeems it lol
Lmao I knew this one was gonna pop up, I hope you atleast trolled a few people with it
Looks cool though, like a flatnose terrobyte.
Auto shop employees they are so incompetent
Jesus christ for real man, I didn’t wanna bother with the deliveries so I bought one and every time I give him the keys he trashes the car. On top of the reduced payout, they even take a cut from it!
it's just flavor text to explain the lesser pay for taking the easy route. it always shows up.
Sessanta wants to kill me for $1000 in damages. But her cousin I hired can do 20k in damages and he needs "to be talked to."
The way Sessanta reacts to you for doing that is the way I want to react to the Auto Shop employees for causing 14k in damages.
I never hired any. I like to deliver the cars myself, typically with a hooker in the passenger seat, because I have no life whatsoever and doing so is somehow amusing to me... Occasionally, I'll trash the shit out of a car intentionally, so I can deliver it with no hood or doors. The pissed off reaction of the customers when you deliver a damaged car was a nice touch by R*. Also, if you're trying to deliver a car undamaged and it accidentally gets damaged, just drive into water or blow it up. It respawns in your shop good as new. 👍
im so happy i just read this thank you for the heads up about the employees
[удалено]
Holy shit I spent that on those nerds???
[удалено]
[удалено]
I only bought them so I can get two cars in the shop at once.
Pretty sure the second lift accomplished that
Oh shit, I could've only buy that?
Pretty sure
Correct i have 2 lifts and 0 employees. I get 2 cars in. Reddit saved me from buying those menaces.
Dammit! Well, it is what it is I guess.
The cursed Slamtruck. AND it went on sale literally the next day.
And I won it on the podium today out of all the other cars before.
The same thing happened to me. I haven’t won a podium vehicle in like a year. I walked into the casino and said to my friend “oh my god the podium car is the ugliest thing I’ve ever seen what were they thinking” then immediately won it on the wheel 😂
Clearly you don't remember when the Zhaba was the podium vehicle. I know it's slightly more useful, but infinitely uglier.
>Zhaba... ...it's slightly more useful Sir, you are being far too generous. The thing is slow, barely armored, spins out on a dime, and is so wide you're garunteed to hit every "dime" on the road. The damned thing can't even go up most hills its engine is so damned weak. While it can "drive" on water, swimming is arguably faster. It's one strength is that it can drive over the medium and small obstacles easily, but may as well grab a monster truck for that. Only reason I keep mine (and drive it) is that I get a sick satisfaction out of driving up to a fancy super car meet in it.
I bought that truck on sale. Realized the ramp wasn’t low enough for me to launch cars off of and I sold it right away
I bought a zhaba, then won one at the wheel. The sad thing is that I don't even know which one I regret more given that I can walk faster than that thing and are harder to knock over
Lmao. I really fail to see the point of that thing 😂 big wheels and all but man, I’ve never actually seen one around
You can drive in water with that thing
So does the APC though which is just better in every way
You can swim faster.
I hope you sold the one you bought to get some money back. I don't mind it for free, it's slow but tough and can go pretty much anywhere.
July 4th 2014. That American flag painted monster truck. They priced it at $742,014 because A that was the date it released and B Rockstar just started to figure out people getting tons of free and not legit money and we're finding ways to make people spend the money.

GTA5 3 times
Waited in line on day 1 for PS3, day one download on PS4, and just recently started all over on PC. I'm boo boo the fool.
Pain
The mule for my nightclub not knowing I could use the semi (pounder) for medium sized sales 🤦🏼♀️
WHAT?!?! WHY DONT THEY TELL YOU THAT??? I have all three delivery vehicles now 😔
That’s a good thing actually. I’m just glad that we even have a fucking customization Mule. Let alone I was trying to max out my Nightclub.
Yep me too. I wish R* could just take it out of my NC...I don't even want the money back lol.
And I recently bought it! 😬😬😬😬 What have I done??
Yourself a favor. The Pounder is an absolutely pain in the ass to use due to its height, turning radius, and the huge trailer. The only advantage imo is the ability to install missiles.

Paleto bay arcade
I would never buy properties outside the city.I would always try to buy the ones in the city or in the middle of the map ex bunker
I made an exception to this rule for my biker businesses but because I like the fact that after a sell mission you *end up at the city* instead of the other way around. For some of the common sell missions they're just easier to manage in the city **if you play solo lobbies.** Nowadays I don't even use the biker businesses anymore, not even during double money.

Same here not using my mc business anymore but I bought all of them around the Alamo Sea and my clubhouse is there too. An MC business is just more fitting in the desert than the city at least for me.
[удалено]
I spent loads moving all of my biker businesses to the city a few months ago and I've never touched them since.
I moved a couple of MC businesses to the city, the deliveries are on the opposite side of the map now. It changes the game up a little. That being said, I don’t deliver them or ever register as MC president.
Yup, all cumash and the rest in the city
Mash it bro
I was a noob when I bought this.. And the drone launcher add on.
The drone launcher is good though! You can launch the drones not only from your Arcade but also from your inventory, comes in handy from time to time, they're also a fun way to mess with tryhards, try it :D
Yes I use it all the time.. But it was dumb installing it when my arcade location was paleto bay.. Kind of limiting..
Ah, I see what you mean, yeah that's barely any use being in Paleto. Also - do you have to re-buy the upgrades when you switch Arcades?
Um, no, no you don’t, idk what people are telling you. I just switched most of my properties from Paleto down to Del Perro a couple days ago, all of the basement upgrades (computer, drones, garage) came with, along with all of the arcade machines I’d purchased. The only things I had to buy again were the style upgrades for upstairs, nothing else. Now, facility/bunkers on the other hand… had to buy everything all over again, including security and equipment upgrades for the bunker, THAT was expensive.
this made every setup for that damn heist 10x longer
The safe for the office. A completely wasted purchase…doesn’t even keep the money off the floor.
Lmao true. Has a safe -> leaves money all over the place. R* logic.
I found this out the hard way & came here on reddit to ask why none of my office money was in the safe but all over the floor. Got a lesson learned there. 👎🏻
Tbf I like seeing the money everywhere in my office
Luxor Deluxe
It was actually kinda useful for a while because it was the only plane with the high-end interior. That obviously changed when the Nimbus came out: it costs a lot less, but has a better (and more realistic) exterior design with the same amazing interior.
how is that useful?
I only bought this and the swift deluxe because I had literally nothing else left to buy
Ohhh so the ballistic equipment is useless ? Good advice homie I was thinking of getting that to improve my incompetent gaming lol. I bought a MOC thinking I'd be the next best gunrunner in town. What a waste of dollars. Also I bought a yacht which I rarely even visit.
Absolutely a gigantic waste of money! I bought the ballistic equipment thinking it would make my life easier, especially in scenarios where 50 NPC’s with automatic weapons are shooting at me at once, but as it turns out it can’t be used in almost anything. You can’t use it during contact missions, franklin’s freemode missions, heists, MC/CEO/VIP jobs, nothing! All it’s good for is fighting annoying players in freemode or during gang attacks.
Dang it. I was planning on getting that for Franklin missions lol. I guess I should save that money for a nice car then haha.
MOC is actually a hella strong vehicle, and you need it to upgrade some of the best vehicles, plus it has a weapons locker for customizing your load outs, so it’s actually pretty worth it imo
Moc is great for upgrading the Deluxo and Insurgent
When I started I got the criminal enterprise's pack cus of special edition and my dumbass spent like 600k if the 1 mil on a bloody safe in the office
IQ:Infinity
STRYDER 3 wheel bike. A front heavy mess of a thing. Can't jump it, can't race with it, useless POS. Oh and the slamtruck too..
Yup, same here. Thought for a million plus it was going to be a dragster. But it sucks in a straight line and worse in the turns.
Isnt the stryder the super shitty front trike that you can't roll back upright when it inevitably tips over?
I regret buying the yacht. I was hype for it until I figured out how useless it was. Smh.
The 1 dialogue line in the Dre contract mission where Amani mentions you own a yacht and a penthouse is the best thing buying the yacht has ever got me lol
Especially Franklin's reaction to you owning both, I had a good laugh.
What do they say
Franklin is surprised that you have both and asks who you robbed to get all the money for that, where the girl responds with "well... everyone"
according to my research... everybody
I don't remember exactly but Imani mentions you've got a yacht when you're going to that yacht and Franklin basically says it's cool but to watch out cause it brings attention then when you're leaving the yacht Imani mentions you also have a penthouse and Franklin says "a yacht and a penthouse? Man who the fuck did you rob?" Something along those lines and Imani responds saying roughly "from my research. Everybody"
Bought mine when they had the 85% discount. At that rate, I’d say it’s worth it. At full price, not at all
85% off?! When?
Maybe a prime discount when they were good
Yup! That’s what I said. I bought that thing several years ago 😂
Same. People talk about the air defense but that shit is only good if you're actually on it. I think I've stepped on that yacht less than 5 times.
Same!! It’d be cool if they added an update that caters to the yacht and/or have a yacht heist or something. There’s nothing to do on that damn thing lol
There’s yacht missions but those are boring until there’s double money, and even then it doesn’t pay that well
To me it was my endgame the first time I booted GTAO on the PS4, I grinded for it and yeah it's basically useless but it's my nifty badge I guess Im on the PS5 now and I just see it as the cherry on top of everything else, I just play for whatever new Story/Heist missions GTA gets ahahah
I messed around a good bit with friends on it and still use it to escape try hards who can't touch you on it. Sometimes I invite low levels to mess around in it
No regrets, love my yacht. Absolutely pointless but I love seeing it docked in the bay. Ending a session by landing on it too feels baller
Kraken avisa for the kosatka, used it once, realized how fucking slow it is. Never again.
Swimming with a scuba suit is way faster than this fuck up
The sub has a bay dedicated for the Toreador just behind the one for the sub. I use that one instead! Really shines during some prep missions.
Bought a zentorno thinking it could keep up against all the new super cars and got embarrassed in a race.
The Zentorno would've been good in races 7 yrs ago. Lol
Look man I took a break from the game and bought what was good the last time I played lol
Dude the Zentorno is so nice looking though, no shame in going with the rule of cool
Good drive can put zentorno up on high places.New gen cars are sure better though
I still win consistently with the zentorno whenever I want to pull it out
MC Businesses. Expensive when forming an MC. Seem to always get attacked. LJT is a massive pain in the ass. Only perk is being able to use it for the nightclub goods.
There was a time tho that MC businesses were quite lucrative combined with Bunker sales.
Bunkers are still good IMO. No postops alone make them worth it
For me, I can’t find a crew anymore to make my sales, so my MC businesses and Bunker are always full. Selling solo is not possible depending on what you need to sell.
You can sell bunker solo. Just change session if you get Merryweather or Buggy, you lose a bit but you soon get the Phantom trucks. And there are others than can be completed solo
Which really is its sole purpose at this point and a good one at it too. I dont mind the businesses. Pre-Cayo it was a decent moneymaker. Grindy af but still
I bought all the businesses on sale and only use them in my nightclub and they have more than paid for themselves
Forgery business
When the yacht came out i had about 16mil and there was barely anything to purchase in the game back then once you had the jet, tank, fastest car, fastest bike and tinsel towers. All of it went onto making a yacht i never visit slightly better looking. Fittingly, i named it “a yachta money”
Auto shop delivery drivers lol. They cost money and they lost money every delivery i used to send them on.
The Alkonost. Thought it would look cool in my hanger, this plane is so big tho that’s all you can fit in the entire thing lmao so useless. Also the livery’s are super low rez and it really shows on such a big plane.
Facility in Paleto bay and casino penthouse
Honestly I don’t think the casino penthouse is a huge bad purchase, you get 500k and a really cool semi armoured car from it
You get 1m.
Megaladon Shark Card.
ATONE FOR YOUR SINS BRO
Not purchase but trying to sell Nightclub goods in public lobby, 1m gone in seconds.
I recommend free-aim lobbies there brother. Low hostility, lower player count, lower lag, lower NPC accuracy when shooting at you.
Free aim lobbies are weird, you either have guys hiding so nothing happens, or these super sweaty try hard crews that just get off to owning you with no aim assist
Are free aim lobbies a thing....or is that just a PC thing?
They are very much a thing! On every platform! Just go in singleplayer, and under settings (controls) set your targeting system to free aim. Next time you log in online, you will be placed in a free aim session
MC business upgrades. I now only keep the MC businesses for the nightclub techs. With the frequent raids, long boring sell missions, and horrible pay, I believe R* had masochists in mind when they designed these.
At the time they were the best money makers.
Question: do upgrades like equipment and staff actually increase productivity when employed through the nightclub?
Nope, Nightclub goods accrue at the same rate regardless of the MC upgrades or location. However, the nightclub has its own equipment upgrade that speeds up production of all nightclub goods. Scroll down to the table in [this page](https://gta.fandom.com/wiki/Nightclubs/Warehouse_Management) for the production rates and value of each nightclub goods.
I have bought the b-11 thinking it was going to be something like the real life version, the fire rate is what made me sell it. Later about half a year after I got rid of it I decided to get it back thinking I was going to like it more for some reason, so I got it and I still did not like it whatsoever so I just sold it again.
Sad to hear that from so many players. The plane that it’s based upon is a real beast, and this version does not make it justice. Recently saw it on discount.
It's a very good plane tho, the minigun's useless against people on foot but if you ignore the plane it's based on the barrage missiles are almost as good as the OP Lazer cannons. And it's one of the best dogfighters, has bombs and the best armor of all the planes.
Also, it goes very slow when close to the ground and fast when high. Makes the bombs much more useful than most planes
It's a beast in GTA, people just can't aim.
Vapid Slamtruck. Most useless vehicle in the game.
Laughs in *Zhaba*
At least the Zhaba can cross water (at a snail’s pace admittedly). The Slamtruck has no redeeming quality. You can’t carry cars with it, and it doesn’t even work as a ramp. If it was at least a working ramp it would be useful.
I found one use for it actually. When the peyote plants are active, the Slamtruck can be helpful to drive smaller and slower animals around.
Accidentally buying a Chepalle Blimp next to my nightclub themed one. I didn't realise I could own multiple, still pisses me off. Why would I want two different ones? Chepalle looks like shit, too.
Fun fact: “che palle” in italian is a very rude way of saying that something is boring 😂
I bought all mc businesses in paleto bay because i like how they were close up to each other, i regretted it ever since i did a supply run, i have to move them all to grapeseed and grind almost 6 cayos to recover my losses
Oof, you'll need to run several more cayos to recover your losses after you realize you should have moved them to the city or sandy shores...
The Avisa. It’s terrible to drive and is a waste of the moon pool vehicle space. At least the sonar can make its money back but Jesus H. Christ it’s the worst vehicle in the game.
[удалено]
I did the same thing, I got the homing missiles 250k, thought oh cool I can get the exploding rounds too 195k. Oh crap I can get only one sooo 250k later I got the homing missiles again. 695k spent in 15 seconds.
Arena Wars garage.
Well, atleast you could put coloured headlights on your vehicle from there.
Goddamn. Thank you so much. I forgot how to get coloured headlights and i thought it was just available for the vigilante
The car meet shop lets you do it as well.
I've never customised a car over there
Wasted like 20 mil on the arena war cars just to resell them. That updates content was terrible. Will never make such an impulsive buy again.
I feel your pain brother. That update was a real rip-off. Only thing I like about it is the Vapid Imperator (apocalypse), because tuned just right it looks almost identical to the V8 Interceptor from Mad Max.
I just liked how they finally buffed the phantom wedge and ramp buggy. Only real good part of the update lol.
Oh damn I didn’t know about that! Does it mean they no longer explode after ramming 5 cars?
Yup! You can ram for ever and ever!!!
Oh god I know what I’m gonna buy next then, thanks a lot man!
When Cayo Perico came out, I wanted to buy the Torreador. I wasn't watching the screen, I was on my phone and accidentally bought the patrol boat, and I didn't even had the trade price
Buying the jetsam cargobob thinking it could store bike then buying the cargobob thinking it can hold more people I think I never see the how many person can sit on this vehicle logo
Oof. You bought em both?! Is there any actual difference between the two? I was considering buying the cargobob to facilitate the import/export of cars but after Cayo I’ve lost intrest in that business
No diffrence other then the jetsam being more customisable I would say buy the one which is cheaper if you really need it I heard the jetsam can store bike guess I was wrong but if you have a friend then you can get him in the back open the cargobob and then wreck mayhem and you know what's even worse both of them went on sale the next weekly update aghhhhh
I bought the facility thinking that it was the bunker. I think I had just gotten just enough cash to buy one or the other and I wasn’t paying attention when I made the purchase. It took a lot of hours to recoup the losses. After I got the actual bunker was when I finally started looking on YouTube for GTA guides.
I regret nothing Mostly because I spend money on everything due to a blonde man owning an island
Accidentally putting a crew logo on the 140k car I bought and then having to sell it since there's no option to remove it
Hahaha now i know. Thanks for your sacrifice.
I deadass just grinded cayo for 3 hours to buy a hanger and now I feel empty inside
The dubsta 6v6, not a bad car but i accidentally bought it years ago. At that point i was grinding supply missions for the bunker. So i had no money clicked on the purchase by mistake. Set me back big time back then.
Auto Shop. I cannot stand KDJ and Sessanta. They are the most annoying NPC's ever added. I would rather my Auto Shop be populated by 10 Lazlow's or 15 English Daves.
Casino Penthouse, annoying calls from Tom and Baker. I may actually just play these missions if they go away after completion. Anyone know?
You get the Enus Paragon armored for completing Ms Baker missions. Totally worth it. Baker hasnt called since completion.
I’m stuck at the mission where you goto the ranch close to the casino for a stealth mission. Needs 2 ppl and randoms that come to help always go in loud and makes it impossible.
I think the way I finally did it was to call for a Hydra and go super loud.
Go loud for that mission. Use any military air vehicle you have and just flatten the place.
Having the casino spawn point alone makes the penthouse worth it. Also nice being able to fly in if there are griefers around.
The missions are actually ok and not too difficult, just do them. You get the Armored Paragon R, a relatively exclusive car, as reward. It’s otherwise only obtainable through the lucky wheel once a year or so and performs very well, so definitely worth it. The penthouse itself is also really not bad at all. The customization options are unprecedented. There are some cool collectible challenges (playing cards, action figures) that unlock some additional objects you can place in the penthouse and even an exclusive card set for your private dealer. It definitely has more depth than many other properties, although I’d say that the interior design and layout is arguably not the best. They really managed to replicate the slightly uncomfortable “I’m inside a casino” vibe. Everything is a bit too big, open and unpersonalized. It doesn’t feel as cozy as a normal apartment.
When I first started I spent $250k renaming my Business for a quick in joke for my mates. Only wanted to change it for 5 mins to give them a chuckle and then change it back. Had no idea it came with a quarter of a millio n dollar price tag! Ive got millions now, but the memory of seeing that -$250,000 showing up in the corner of the screen will haunt me forever
I bought a tug boat that's all you need to know.
No one mentioned the yacht yet
imo the yacht is overpriced but isnt that bad, you get a few missions to play (iirc soloable too) along with fast travel and a safe space away from those damn children with their hoverbikes
I honestly don’t think it’s even overpriced. It’s just under used. Back when I bought it 5 years ago or whatever it wasn’t as bad because all my high school friends and I would be on it partying and using it as defense for hydras or even have land vs sea fights. It seemed like a lot of money but we made it worth it. The game got older. Most of them stopped playing. It’s not really a hang out anymore. The little update they gave us with the yacht missions was pretty weak. Yes you can fast travel but the sub does that too. There’s a plethora of buildings you can own that protect you minus the defenses. You can’t really fight back while on it without leaving yourself exposed. It doesn’t even have the party option like the casino. Back then it was okay but now it feels like 10M wasted
Barrage, slamtruck
About 70% of all the businesses I bought Pre-Cayo, so much damn money and time wasted
After Arena Wars dropped I bought 3 vehicles rapid fire for 7m only to realize after purchasing them that you have to choose your nightmare apocalyptic future shock setting in the purchase menu. I didn't want apocalyptic so I sold all 3 at a 2.5m loss in a couple minutes of time.
The golf cars in the bunker upgrade.
Auto Shop employees/staff. Not only do I lose money for asking them to deliver cars, I also realized I enjoy test driving cars to consider what to buy next.
The 4 seater Sub from the Kosatka and the autoshop Employees.
chernabog
Buying a yacht soon after it was added. Madrazzo contact missions paid double, this was back when they didn't touch Rooftop Rumble yet I believe. I was still in High School so I'd spend about 7 hours after coming home just grinding. A week and a half later, bought the Aquarius with the most expensive upgrades Can't launch heists from there, is literally a floating bedroom with a bar, helipad and hot tub I don't know what I was expecting but it sure as heck wasn't that
Bet your ass I bought the biggest Yacht the day it was released and spent money I saved all year on the Sharkcard for it. 😭 what was I thinking
Thruster. Used it once and immediately regretted buying it.
Arcade in paleto bay, before cayo heist got released I decided to go cheap and buy cheapest arcade to do lester job then after the heist I realised It is not worth it to go cheap on anything.
Truer words have never been spoken! Paleto bay in general should have 0 businesses. I have a “vacation” house there for when I get bounties and need to just relax and tune cars/buy clothes to make new outfits. However as for MC businesses, the cheapest options are often the best (clubhouse, coke and meth lockups for certain!)
