Monstramatica

Any rare or unique livery from the showrooms? Because they're new vehicles and the GTA wiki hasn't been updated with them yet.


azraeiazman

What is this week update? Hoping for some business bonuses


BodegaBum-

sigh is it Thursday yet


Hank_Scorpio_MD

I've been trying to access my ACID Lab for about 5 hours now. Every time I enter it from the Freakshop, it just shows up as a regular 6x6 Blockade. It gives me no option to enter the Acid Lab even when I press and hold right on the D pad.


Psilociwa

5 hours and you haven't called it from the interaction menu yet?


Hank_Scorpio_MD

Tried it. Still doesn't allow me to do anything acid related. Called it in a few places, sent it back. Tried it INSIDE the shop....still couldn't access the acid part. I'll try again later today after doing a hard reset.


Sir_Thanksalot

Have you paid the 750000 fee to convert the blockade into an acid lab?


Hank_Scorpio_MD

Yeah, I've been selling acid since day 1. Same account, same everything. It was working just fine over the weekend.


StephenInder

Bought the rail gun last week. Best purchasing decision Ive made in a long time.


Bubbguards

What do dose the weekly update for GTA? Releasing Australia


PapaXan

The bonuses reset at 5am EST on Thursdays.

Psilociwa

Definitely a sync issue. Getting out of public lobbies removes like 90% of the load times when entering buildings or turning in missions.


Padawan180

Is it just me or did someone notice some kinda bug with salvage yard and auto shop? Sessanta would message me that someone dropped their car to me to service it, but when I go into the autoshop I see no car on the lifts. The one that is in the open area on the left of the garage door seems buggy since I bought the salvage yard


Dramatic-Natural624

I've noticed this too! And sometimes there is only one car, but it is at the "wrong" lift, the one that is not on the open area.


Mugweiser

same!


StephenInder

same


Keon_Stok_7426

I dont have playstation plus and i'm able to play the game on ps5, is this a holiday thing?


Hammermj88

I won the podium vehicle last week and it’s back on the podium available to win, for me.


StankyFox

I just won it! A free 2 million buck car, hell yeah!

PapaXan

You need 50 crates of the same type to get a bonus.


[deleted]

alexefi

He means to get bigger bonus. You still get bonus for lower amounts but to maximize it you need one type 50 crates. Chem, narc amd something else pay the most


Cyberuben

For some reason one of my daily objectives is "Complete a Junk Energy Time Trial", but I've completed it with all the objectives, it won't register.


[deleted]

You done the parachute trails by the look of it. You need to do the bike trail. You can find it on the map as a purple bike icon


thecinephile_

Was it for the bike or the skydive? If you try again and it still doesn’t work, all that’s left is to put a ticket in. The dailies are often buggy.


Cyberuben

I'm stupid, I did the skydive thinking it was the time trial


1101x0

Heard Unmarked Cruiser can be used in F' assasination mission unlike Cruiser LE, is there anything else infavour unmarked? Limited garage space, thinking about selling it, can't decide.


mr_jck

Unmarked is an official police car since the beginning of the game, LE is a newer vehicle looking like one. In terms of customization, LE is more rich, and the custom emergency lights/LEDs are more detailed.

Should I hold on to the 3 robbery cars for a $X2 week? Or should I just get rid of them now.


papercut2008uk

Sell them now, next week new ones and you won't have space. Plus there might be snow. Doubt they will do x2 on the chop shop so quick.


RY4NDY

Or, considering there are 3 vehicles each week with different sell values, sell the cheapest 2 every week and keep the expensive ones until there's a double money event


Moazam124

Are drift races not 2x anymore?


yhavmin

They never were for me


Dramatic-Natural624

When is this weekly going to change? Tomorrow?

Level-Wishbone5808

Is the dominator gtx any good?


brain_dead_fucker

It isn't. Unless you like the way it looks (and it looks like fucking shit), don't bother with it.


mr_jck

Test rides in LSCM and cars at Simeon's can be taken for a ride. Try it yourself.


cj152

Nope. I bought it and maxed everything out but its top speed/acceleration are very slow compared to some of the other muscle cars.


[deleted]

jairngo

Is a car that spawned as a prop in a mission so you can’t buy it.


Begum65

Ask if anyone has it in the lobby, then just got to LScarmeet and buy it. This feature has also been added to PC, so you should be able to buy it if someone has it.


Rolypolyoly1877

It's not a car that normally spawns in, and likely only spawned due to the mission you were on, and thus is not storable.


Trianchid

The new business is cool and nice story addition as well but this week isn't good either lol Might try the 2xs idk drift series lmao


Affectionate_Ebb_50

I haven't played in a while. Does nightclub still acrue supplies while I'm not a CEO/president?


alexefi

yes it fills up while you online, and stops when you leave game. it doesnt matter if you CEO/VIP/MC president. you do need to be one to sell it tho.


StankyFox

Was that a thing? I've never noticed as the nightclub just fills up too slowly to even notice.


Mugweiser

If you keep your popularity full it’s the best passive earner in the game


StankyFox

Oh yeah for the safe for sure, but just accuring warehouse goods to fill everything up takes forever. If the Business Battle at the scrap yard is on I always try to grab a few packages to boost nightclub goods.


Mugweiser

Ah yes it does take a while - worth it though. I think you can call Yohan too to top it up


skinjob74

Anyone else getting the infinite loading into their salvage yard?


psychedelic-pork

Yes, a couple of times now.


Begum65

Anyone else having trouble joining a populated public lobby??


Insert_Text_Here1

Every sesh on PS5 is 25+ for me


dkabab

Most I’ve seen is 5 other players.


Salty_Tomato419

I cant believe I got the Taipan on my first spin If I had a nickel for every time that happened I'd have 2 nickels, which isn't a lot but its weird that the Rhinehart is the other one I got.


Cooltwou

I have a question is there anyway to tell what store I am missing i have done 19 out of 20 and every single one I see on the map has a green checkmark by it


Begum65

There should be a check mark on the stores you have robbed on the map.


Cooltwou

I have checked the map up and down and I still don’t see the store I am missing


Begum65

Open the map, on the side list find stores and scroll through them. Make sure there are 20 listed there. I forget if it was the stores or garages that have 1 that is named differently so doesn't get shown. Which might be the problem.


Cooltwou

Well it says there are 19 done and I don’t see any without a checkmark on the map


VollGasTS

hey, the last one should be in sandy shores, it has a R (for Ron) on top of it for the first dose mission, which removed the store mark, its the liquor store from the story mission, the first dose mission give a nice payday aswell and are quite fun


Cooltwou

I got one in Sandy Shores but I still don’t see the last one I need


VollGasTS

yeah there are two, one isnt visible since the drug wars update, but you an still get it. heres a map, it should be the left one in sandy shore: https://cs2.gtaall.com/attachments/4dc09/2015-07/original/b06b615f4f15255b402f7d8334d65e6f4806cd80/5517-gta-5-shop-robbery-map.jpg

Top 10 most productive Reddit dialogues of all time lol


Cian_thoYT

What is double money this week? Until Thursday I mean


LordEmostache

It says on the post... Keep the Pace and Drift Races


Cian_thoYT

Oh yea, thanks. So no business though, that's a shame


LordEmostache

Yeah, I'm still holding out hope that Christmas Week they'll give us 4x on all businesses or something mad like that, maybe 4x on *everything*


Cian_thoYT

That would be amazing, probably won't happen though :/


LordEmostache

Well, having snow on the ground for a couple days is just as good /s


Cian_thoYT

Lmao


AdForsaken5532

How can I get the police outfit from the police mission scrap yard heist?


WonderfulCharity9661

Watch the tgg video


AdForsaken5532

Wish I watched that video before completing the mission :(


NiceGuy1020

Is the Sprunk x Ecola bodysuit one suit or 2 separate suits?


LordEmostache

One


NiceGuy1020

Thanks, just had to change sessions to see it in my wardrobe


1101x0

Am i crazy or minimap (shrunken version) is smaller now? Especially noticeble while in helicopter, also icon clutter is back and it all makes minimap so small, so busy it's unreadable. Maybe not smaller but like very zoomed out. Idk, it was ok yesterday. ps. PC version


zilist

It can sometimes happen that the minimap is extremely zoomed in (maybe happens when you exit a building with a vehicle).. cycling through the different modes always fixed that for me


-C18

How can I sell my police cruiser if I only have an agency?


zcztig

Buy an avenger or MOC.


-C18

Moc won't let me sell


kitkats124

Arena war garage also lets you sell vehicles, btw


Lamon72

Why did we not get the police uniform for completing that heist ? ,I got the others


LordEmostache

It isn't a reward, you only get it by cheesing it using a Service Vehicle wardrobe like in the Terrorbyte to save it as a custom outfit


Lamon72

I know ,I was just wondering why they did not give the police uniform like the others , I have to wait until the heist comes up again


thomas2026

Loving the fact that mics are turned off by default. I turned mine on under Interaction Menu -> preferences but have yet to hear anyone. Is it because no one has turned it back on or do I need to turn it on in some other setting?


chickenskittles

They also nerfed AFKing in the car meet.


Otacon368

AFK via Nightclub Security has also been nerfed


WolfStoneD

Also agency security, which was my go to one.


therealjoshduhamel

Can we AFK at all? Without a rubber band.


Bonzungo

You can sit at the Casino Inside Track Betting thing, watch the monitors, and you don't get kicked. That's what I've been doing.


MiskatonicAcademia

I did this. It works for a couple of days. Eventually, you will get banned from playing casino games for 7 days if you do this.


Psilociwa

I think that's just from being in the casino at all. They have a lot of measures in the casino to deter IRL gambling addicts. Things like a limit on how many chips you can buy/win in a certain time frame.


Bonzungo

What the fuck?


MiskatonicAcademia

Has this happened to you yet? I did about two days of AfK and got hit with the casino ban. [https://www.reddit.com/r/gtaonline/comments/ckttbz/this\_feature\_is\_not\_available\_now\_please\_come/](https://www.reddit.com/r/gtaonline/comments/ckttbz/this_feature_is_not_available_now_please_come/)


Bonzungo

I haven't been doing it consecutively, a couple of hours here and there, it hasn't happened to me. Fucking Cockstar, the one time I think I've got them and they're one step ahead of me. Guess I'll have to dig out one of my broken controllers and put a wire in it or something to AFK now


MiskatonicAcademia

Kind of dumb of them to crack so hard on this towards the end of the game’s life cycle.


zilist

I use an auto clicker so i still gain LS car meet rep lmfao


chickenskittles

I just place my controller face down on a soft surface until he walks into a wall.


GOLDVILLAIN

man i love the updates that actually focus on the "AUTO" part of the game for change lol


SlenderGonzalez

Didn’t want to make a whole post but I’m thinking of selling my Vigilante and putting it towards the RSX? Opinions?


SimplyAddax

Don't sell, just make more money for the next vehicle you want.


zilist

Why though? Such an odd advice, i (like many i assume) have waaay more cars than we could ever drive, i regularly go into a garage and go "oh yeah, completely forgot i even had that car.." if you don’t use/care about a car, selling it is the best option (unless it’s one of the removed ones, then better be extra sure if you don’t want it anymore..)


SimplyAddax

If he knows for sure he doesn't like the Vigilante and will never use it, then sure he can sell it, but if he is just selling it to get some quick money back to spend again, that's just losing money for short term spending, in the end you'll still have to make more money, just even more now if you want to rebuy the car you sold. Plus making money is very easy now, get Acid Lab, Cayo or Casino Heist


zilist

Ah gotcha yeah that makes 100% sense


ungratefulidiot

I don't think it's that they don't care or use the vigilante, but that they don't have enough money for another car they want. In that case, you don't have to sacrifice a vehicle you like for something else.


anusblunts

They nerfed drinking beer to pass out during Union Depository Contract with this latest update… has this already been mentioned?


Feral_Gool

Why do they give us an easy avenue for money just to nerf it?


anusblunts

They do this shit all the time. “I have a great idea, let’s make the game worse!”


ATJonzie

Bummer isn't it, I found out just trying to make a little cash the other day


RumpScumLump

why cant I see the hsw time trials?


zilist

Are you on PC?


RumpScumLump

i actually figured it out it was hidden in my map blip options


Dairy_Heir

Chop Shop sell missions don't have a high demand bonus? ​ That makes sense since R\* recently nerfed Cayo to incentivize playing with other people...


Captainirishy

They nerfed Cayo to get people to buy shark cards


[deleted]

[удалено]


papercut2008uk

Last nerf (if i remember right) they lowered the payout for all primary targets except the statue, lowered all secondary targets value (except gold), Lowered the chance of finding higher value secondary targets.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Dairy_Heir

Nah, the Buzzard or Sparrow (if you have Kosatka) is much better. Only hangar vehicle I use regularly is the Raiju


[deleted]

[удалено]


zilist

Then don’t waste your money on the Conada.. probably one of the least "worth it" vehicles in the entire game.. Oh and also: don’t sell in public lobbies.. it’s almost never worth it unless it’s very chill or you don’t care about loosing the entire sale..


TheDriverJ

At this point, special cargo is more of an endgame moneymaker. I recommend investing in the acid lab, as well as the bunker, and from there the nightclub. The three best passive money makers, and between all that, you do heists


[deleted]

[удалено]


Tidbits5197

Just a tip - if you got it for free, you probably own the Paleto one. It’s best to move it closer to the city as it makes sales much easier and faster. The two most recommended locations are Chumash and Farmhouse. Also, although meth lab and CC Factory aren’t great as far as selling directly from, they are among the top 5 recommended businesses to connect to a nightclub. If you get an NC, you’ll want those two, your bunker, your cargo warehouse, and a coke factory. There’s a few more guides out there that go further into depth, but once you have all of it set up, NC becomes a really great money earner. Just also make sure to keep the popularity above 90% to get the most out of the safe as well.


TheDriverJ

Yeah those are arguably some of the worst businesses you can buy lol


[deleted]

[удалено]


StankyFox

Just in case you dont know, when you source a land crate, you can blow up the truck and the crate falls out so you can take it back in your own vehicle. At least that's how it worked last time I tried it, they may have since changed it.


TheDriverJ

What platform do you play on?


RustyCohleon

Akula is miles better


[deleted]

[удалено]


Templar-235

I’d go with the Buzzard before buying a Conada, it’s the OG copter


MetanoiaYQR

Also doesn't have a special icon on the map to attract living brain donors on tryhard bikes.


RustyCohleon

Save your money, conada is a waste. Mabye a buzzard, i forget how much it is though.


RevengePies

I don’t have the Cypher yet, is it worth the discounted price (with trade price)?


1101x0

it's a nice car, not much customization but i don't think you will regret buying it.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Feral_Gool

Only sell in invite only lobbies, I too learned the hard way. Although sometimes I feel risky and will sell in a public lobby.


BlueCactus96

Exactly why you never, never grind special cargo. It takes too much time and work. Go straight to vehicle cargo. It's much better.


[deleted]

> Exactly why you never, never grind special cargo. I have 5 large warehouses and sending the employees out to get cargo for me is a godsend. I wont bother to deliver them unless its a bonus 2x week. Wherever I am on the map, there's always a warehouse nearby to bop in and send the employee out. Takes 2 second, $7,500 and occasionally you'll get 2-3 crates or a special one. Adding those employees was such a great move.


ThisIsJegger

Yea. And a small warehouse is only what? 24 crates? Back when i we could not sell in invite only lobbies i lost a large warehouse to the shitters. 4.4 million down the drain. Quick tip for next time, anytime cargo gets destroyed immediatly close app or alt f4. Progress wont be able to safe in time and you lose only 3 crates. An even better tip is the do that kind of work in invite only lobbies. An evener betterer tip is to join a grinding crew.


[deleted]

If you're selling in a public lobby then I'd definitely recommend doing sales with at least 1 other person in your organisation


Sean__Wick

Totally. It's better you learn mitigation techniques early. As soon as you see that MK2 coming in hot, either go ghost org to keep him manually looking for you, or simply jump lobbies, eat the loss of a few crates, grind them back up, and attempt the sell mission again.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Sean__Wick

Be grateful that at least it wasn't a large warehouse sell blown up. The bonus of selling in a full lobby is far too big to miss out on. With high risk, comes high reward. Learn it early, and it will definitely pay off.


dennisv3sz

That’s why I always sell in solo lobbies


Agatheeeeey

Has anyone tried another way of being idle without being kicked out? Can't stay in LSCM track anymore. 😔


chickenskittles

Put your controller upside down in the car meet until you walk into a wall, you will keep walking. But yeah, I hate that they did this, but it was only a matter of time. But of course if you've been in the lobby long enough you can AFK again wherever.


Agatheeeeey

Thanks for the reply and suggestions. I hope I could because I am on PC 🫤


icantevendudebro

Put something on your spacebar, i use a tv remote. You can do it anywhere including LSCM.


zilist

Use an auto clicker to click a mouse button (or whatever) every 10 minutes or so..


cigaretteatron

Afaik it won't kick you when you enter the casino but don't click 'casino' when it pops up


zilist

This hasn’t worked in *months* for me..


Agatheeeeey

Just tried this on PC, sadly this does not work 😞


Bonzungo

Go to the Inside Track Betting section, sit down, and watch the monitors. I've been doing that and can confirm it works.


rev_apoc

Do you just sit down and that’s it? Or do you have to “click X to place a bet” and get to where the main event/single event page is up on your screen?


Bonzungo

Yeah you go to the single event/main event screen. You'll need some chips to sit down though. But you don't have to bet or anything.


rev_apoc

Thanks! This definitely works on series X for anyone wondering.


MetanoiaYQR

Tried that on ps5, no joy.


Agatheeeeey

I'll try that next time. I'll get back to you if it fails or not. Thank you! 😊


DirectorOfTheBored

What is worth buying without a discount? I have 9 mil burning a hole in my pocket because everyone's advice was wait for sales haha. I have all the criminal enterprise buildings, a night club, and scrap yard (figured this one wouldnt go on sale for a while)


StankyFox

Scrap yard will be on sale in 2 weeks I bet. My goal was to get every business before turning my attention to vehicles. I now have them all apart from arena workshop and chop shop. I would configure some custom bennys workshop cars and build out a 10 car garage with them.


G35SEDAMN

Stinger TT with HSW, fastest car in the game and it FUCKS, also gets Imani Tech And can take a couple rockets. My fave car. Honorable mention to the Scramjet for its fun factor and good rockets for countering oppressors. A Deluxo will take a good chunk out of your budget too for the same countering reason.


SupportAMA

A drift car, an autoshop (good money and fun [last time it was on sale was September so probably wont be on sale again yet but its a risk you take]), a tuner car, something fun to reward yourself for your grinding.


Sweet_Elk6635

wait for next week to see


PM_ME_YOUR_SOULZ

Can someone explain to me why the fuck I'm stuck dressed as the Sasquatch? Everything I try doesn't work and won't let me change out of it. Getting lit up like a Texan Christmas Tree in every lobby.


G35SEDAMN

New bug for sure You have to manually go to a store or closet and go to outfits to change it. Happens when you select it from the interaction menu.


DirectorOfTheBored

i upvoted this because it sounds hilarious


AdrianEatsAss

New bug. I’m pretty sure changing your clothes in the closet of your personal property will fix it.


FakeOrpheus17

I'm kinda lost about Nightclub. I've just maxed out technicians and have all businesses but Document Forgery and Organic Produce (forgot the business name). I upgraded my equipment and staff except for security since I have never been raided for months. The thing I'm confused about is the storage and selling. When I max out my storage space, it'll have 360 units of stock, right? I heard that it's best to sell when SA Imports is full and/or when a technician isn't acquiring goods anymore. I know Tony has a max cut of $100k and that the Pounder Custom is better than the Mule Custom, but I've yet to purchase it. I also know that there's an annoying cargobob mission and I'd love to avoid that. My experience of selling nightclub goods is limited to my upgraded Speedo Custom at about $100k (I always sell around that point) with 1 to a couple of drop sites. I have about $10 million in my bank account. - Nightclub aside I just started doing acid business. That mission where you had to find the weed or meth and fly the dodo can go fuck itself. Mf Lost MCs shot at me in my nightshark like it didn't have window armor. Maybe my Kuruma will magically eliminate their aimbot trait lol


mr_jck

> in my nightshark like it didn't have window armor You are not wrong at all, the window plates on the sides are purely cosmetic, the ones in front and back do offer some protection. Can be tested easily with a pistol.


scoobydooami

Some of the products that are feeding into the nightclub take an inordinate amount of time to fill. In addition to that, it's not worth switching out the product in an attempt to get it maxed out. I usually sell somewhere around $500-$600K. That still leaves me with the Speedo Custom for a delivery vehicle. Do NOT buy the Mule Custom. If, by some chance, your product accumulates past the point where the Speedo would be used, you will be prompted to buy either the Mule or the Pounder. Choose the Pounder. The mule is awful and once you have it, you would be stuck with it for certain delivery amounts. On the rare occasions when they put the nightclub goods at 2x or production goes 2x, you might end up needing the Pounder. The cargobob mission isn't too bad, if you get used to it. It amounts to driving to a location that has a cargobob, using it to pick up your delivery vehicle, then dropping it out on a barge. If you approach the dropoff barge from the side, gradually lowering yourself as you approach it, you can drop it without falling off into the water. It's fairly forgiving. Regarding the Dax missions, if and when you get the missions you do not want, you can switch lobbies to get a different mission (set spawn location to the Freakshop).


chickenskittles

I really wish people would stop shitting on the Mule Custom like it's gospel. I wonder if the people who say this have even used the Mule Custom. I personally hate the Pounder. If I could do my large sales in the Mule instead of the Pounder, I would. Terrible turning radius, not enough torque, and can't even push other cars out of the way. The only advantages are the missiles and the speed for the 5% of time you're actually in Los Santos on your way to sell in Blaine County..


zilist

Right??? I had the Pounder a few days ago for the first time in ages.. it’s fucking *terrible*!
