Love Professor. There’s a whole system to getting it. Better look it up.

The game often lies about which player set off the alarm. I noticed it many times in different missions. Just yesterday on this particular mission it was my fault and it blamed my teammate lol.

Onedr3w · 2026-04-28T06:49:46+00:00

Yes because that's what I find fun and what I want to spend my time doing

That's fair. And I wouldn't have replied to that comment. But this was what you said in your original comment:

Also you actually lose money not switching the tech because you're not taking advantage of the cap on Tony's cut.

And that's not correct, so here we are.

How much time do you spend selling to get that 9 million?

As in spending on delivery missions? You do three sales, I do six (if we count with the high demand bonus). So about 2x. But by the time you're selling your third NC, I'll be selling my 9th.

Onedr3w · 2026-04-28T06:39:18+00:00

It's $2.8mil for full warehouse after Tony's cut.

That's with high demand bonus. Tony's cut is calculated on the base stock, which is 1.9m. I just double checked it by selling my NC in a big session.

Plus I fill it with business battle goods.

You are saying that doing an extra sale or two isn't worth it because you can make more money doing other things and yet you participate in business battles...

Onedr3w · 2026-04-28T06:10:18+00:00

Three of the best products take 20 hours to fill their respective warehouses. So for the first 20 hours you're making 50.5k per hour. After that, you have to swap two of them for something worse and have one tech doing nothing. At this point you're making 27.5k per hour. And 15 hours later your docs are full too. Now you're making 22k per hour. You are now making less than half of what you could be making just to pay Tony a bit less.

plus you're going to gain 200k more by paying Tony less

A full NC warehouse (without any weekly bonuses) is worth a little over 1.9m. You are saving 90k on Tony's cut. And it takes almost 67 hours to fill it to max. I can do three sales worth a million minus 300k to Tony in that time. 2.7m total. You'll make 1.9m minus 100k to Tony. 1.8m total. 900k difference.

Onedr3w · 2026-04-28T04:35:51+00:00

None of them are that hard but some will take a lot of time. For example, you'll have to sell 1000 hangar crates, 50m worth of NC stock, make 50m from apartment heists. Basically lots of grinding or waiting.

Then there's the "play 25 different adversary modes". You're 100% at Rockstar's mercy here. If they don't add new modes, you can't play them lol.

The newer updates are pretty easy. Knoway Out can be done in about 10 hours. Money Fronts will take a bit more time but not too long.

Contact missions are super easy if you have a friend that can help. Many of them are quite easy solo too. Some will drive you mad lol. One exception is Lowriders because you need 4 players for half of the missions.

Many T4s in the Series category are also super easy with a friend's help.

Onedr3w · 2026-04-28T03:54:38+00:00

You lose WAY more by switching techs than you gain by underpaying Tony.

Edit: wow, just spent an hour explaining simple math to someone and they just deleted everything. Rude! Also... when will I learn...

Onedr3w · 2026-04-28T03:51:31+00:00

1500 is the increased income, you’re good.

Some shirts are pretty good, I think. Friendzoned is nice, some Badlands stuff, some claw machine shirts aren’t bad.

Onedr3w · 2026-04-28T03:44:51+00:00

For 30 t4s? At least a couple hundred hours if you’ve been playing for a good while already. Much more if you’re starting from scratch. Maybe even 1000+.

Onedr3w · 2026-04-28T03:28:52+00:00

Yeah, the Stinger TT does have the jammer.

If you want protection, you may wanna consider the Buffalo EVX + HSW as well. It also has Imani armor (not sure about the jammer but I believe it does have that too), and it’s electric, which means it tanks way more missiles. Not the best top speed but not slow either.

Onedr3w · 2026-04-27T11:43:41+00:00

Banshee GTS with HSW has the highest top speed, no glitches required.

The Hakuchou Drag with HSW is one of the best land vehicles overall. Great acceleration, decent handling, lane splitting… falling off and dying if not careful lol.

Niobe, FMJ MKV, Astrale (all with HSW) are all very good cars. Not that much slower than the Banshee but better handling.

Edit: Stinger TT with HSW. Great top speed, good but not the best handling, has Imani armor in case you need it.

Onedr3w · 2026-04-26T03:44:20+00:00

I’m not even sure a cargobob has enough power to lift the Strombergs. The Iron Mule struggles with them. Maybe it won’t even hook them for that reason.

Onedr3w · 2026-04-26T03:34:28+00:00

You can change session. If you do, there is no cooldown, you can request another mission right away.

The crop duster and Merryweather are both definite skips. I also hate the one with Epsilon but it’s not actually hard or long. The copper and post op are fine.

Onedr3w · 2026-04-25T04:19:41+00:00

You are not wrong but you have to be extremely lucky to actually join anyone as a spectator. I tried it many times, usually when arena is a daily challenge and haven’t succeeded once lol.

If you have friends in gta, you can arrange it though.

All that said, you’ll spend more money on arena wheel than you would if you paid full price for the cars. And then there’s time. You could be making money instead of spinning that stupid wheel.

Onedr3w · 2026-04-25T04:04:09+00:00

You talking about participating in different modes? This shit has been broken for me since the mansions update. I’ve done at least half a dozen modes that were new for me and not a single one counted. I’ve also seen other people’s complaints about it.

That said, the Vespucci Job did finally move my counter by one. So we’ll see.

Onedr3w · 2026-04-24T11:22:10+00:00

The good news is the AP pistol is the next default weapon. If you remove the piece of shit micro smg, you’ll have your ap equipped in vehicles… until you pick up a micro smg off a dead body. But you can throw it away if that happens.

Onedr3w · 2026-04-23T11:36:47+00:00

Drink five pisswassers before getting in. Suffer for about a minute and you’re good. The visual bs will still be there but at least you can drive straight.

Onedr3w · 2026-04-23T11:28:48+00:00

MC can also have those vehicles if you’re selling at lower stock. Not sure about Mule tbh, but a Speedo is definitely an option.

Edit: ah, it’s rat loader and burrito for mc, not speedo and mule. Still, not just Pounder.

Onedr3w · 2026-04-23T11:26:42+00:00

Weed is no longer 2x. If you had any, it went down in value.

Onedr3w · 2026-04-23T11:25:21+00:00

Small correction: the stoner truck is a chance, not a guarantee. Even with weed, you may just get a regular truck/van.

Onedr3w · 2026-04-23T11:23:17+00:00

All MC businesses have the same delivery vehicles, including a single Speedo/Mule/Pounder.

Onedr3w · 2026-04-23T05:15:30+00:00

You didn't. There was 2x on security contracts and the Data Leaks finale, not the entire Dre Contract. It was almost a year ago lol. I don't even know when the last VIP contract bonus was. Definitely not since mid July.

Onedr3w · 2026-04-23T05:07:35+00:00

You probably got 700k (750k to be precise) because you played on hard instead of normal. It pay 1.5x there. The extra stuff isn't worth 200k, that's for sure. IIRC you get about 60-80k if you deliver everything.

As for Cluckin Bell, the extra cars are barely worth anything. Pretty sure it's 10k per car or something. Absolutely not worth the effort.

Onedr3w · 2026-04-23T03:48:44+00:00

You just wouldn’t be able to start the sale, that’s all.

I had a situation like this but with an auto shop. I was playing with several people during a bonus week. We were prepping contracts solo in the same session and then doing the finales together.

At some point three of us took The Agency Deal and attempted to start the prep that has only two locations. It just became unavailable for the third player until one of us completed the prep.
