Log in. Takes 3 sessions to be a CEO to check on my stuff. Nightclub's lost all it's popularity. Given the fact a mission takes 20 minutes and gives 1 out 5 bars, starting to feel being popular isn't worth it. Although it would stop Tony/Laz harassing me
Daily Objective - do a sprint race. Spend 10 minutes working out what that is, where I need to be (In LS meet). Start it. Needs 4. There's 1 other person in here. Doesn't accept. Wait 10-15 minutes. At one point 2 others are in - no one accepts. 5 day objective streak broken.
Do some special goods - pick up. No hint it would be 3 packages. I'm solo. Great. Then someone with a missile car chain kills/blows up. 18k and 20 minutes wasted.
Do some special goods - pick up. It's just one package and I'm with a co-op buddy. Then someone with a missile car chain kills/blows up. 18k and 10 minutes wasted.
Decide to pick up our hiest chain - our duo liked that. Oh you need 4 for the next one. Open it...after about 5 minutes people join. Then I click mission 3 not mission 1 and backing out resets entire thing. (Oh and friend goes back to different session
Repeat. 8 minutes people join, get into picking role. Crash out. (Presume someone one quit?)
Tried once more 10 minutes and now joiners. Overall about 30min and 40k wasted.
Try and random quick join. Sort of fun but short mission where you have to take out oil tankers across map and then in base. Takes about 10 min. Get reward 6k. Between armor and ammo needed to kill trucks, net loss.
Then potter off to my warehouse. 7 crates for 200k! Let's roll!. Oh it's a flying mission. I hate them I wish it had told me. Fly really well! 5/6 drops done. Hit a powerline at night and stop moving. Mission...ends? I'm alive/fine? All crates lost for no reward. Great.
A basic pick up mission builds the warehouse back up. Then another one....is on a boat. Surrounded by other boats and men on Jetski. Can't get close without being murdered. Times out. 18k spent and 30 minutes waste.
So an evening with nothing "achieved" and some frustration. I can't think of a better description than the game doesn't respect your time. A pretentious way to describe it but I can't come up with better. Too easy for no rewards and when you do get into content it's so inconsistent in risk/reward/complexity.
It is a tough game to get in to at this stage.
If you need to earn money, I would focus on:
Contact missions
Survival mode
Races
Passive nightclub income
Vehicle warehouse sell missions
The contact missions can be launched by accepting an invite, scrolling to them in the menus, or placing a phonecall to one of the correct contacts (try Simeon). The great thing is that you can call your mechanic / pegasus etc and use your own vehicles, so I tend to play them on the highest difficulty, fly around in my hydra for a bit and pocket $20k to $25k. These are also co-op and outside of freeplay.
Survival will earn you $30k if you complete all 10 waves. At this point, you would hope there will be experienced players in match making. Learn the best places for cover.
Races are vital to unlock the upgrades. These will be hard if you join other races, as you will likely be racing against people using fully tuned, customised cars. If you fancy grinding, race single lap super car races with a friend and alternate wins. Winning in Super will unlock car upgrades for all classes.
Passive nightclub income. Go to your basement and use the computer there to assign people to roles. Its probably good to fidn a guide on this, but it is a nice money earner.
Vehicle warehouse sell missions are great. You want to fill it with one of each and then sell a few super cars, so you will always be sourcing super cars after that point. Again, follow a guide, but you're looking at decent money on these without horrible sell missions.
Good luck and if you are playing on PS5, give me and add and I'll help you out.
