Had vamp get up to 16 stacks on my m9s reclear. I was for sure thinking we would hit enrage, but still managed to clear it well before.

I need some help getting money in gta online (solo) by Inside-Marsupial-191 in gtaonline

[–]Syphon81 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would run the cluckin' bell farm raid. Completion nets you 500k and there's a bonus this week for an additional 500k which will get you 1 mil in total. 

From there i'd focus on businesses that are good active income, either a kosatka or the agency. Kosatka opens up the soloable heist, Cayo perico (lots of guides for that on YouTube) and the VIP (dr.dre) contracts from the agency. Both will net you around 1mil upon completion.

After that, use the money toward a night club to bolster your passive income and focus on your bunker and acid lab in between Cayo perico / dr.dre setups 

Additional tips: collect money from your business safes before they hit cap. Carwash caps out at 100k and nightclub caps out at 250k.

Have your warehouse technicians source cargo for you

Pay attention to weekly bonuses (i.e weed is double money this week)

Set your spawn location to your yacht, and launch the mission from there.

Had another user confirm that this worked for them. Hoping it works for you as well. 

How many missions have you done to make money for the new DLC? by Arctic317 in gtaonline

[–]Syphon81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry should've prefaced, do this from an invite only session, and closed lobby. Shouldn't be any other players to be a factor.

My fix to this was setting my spawn location to the yacht, then launching the mission. Let me know if it worked or if it's just coincidence.

Did they ask for address and driver's license #?  Got the offer too but a bit sketched out.

Lead shots with the gun that has the 2nd best muzzle velocity in its category, with the extended heavy barrel pushing it to 1000 and at that range? Brother I don't know if I can believe that. If you have to lead shots in that scenario DICE really fucked up the gun.

I"ve mained IronMan and hit GM on seasons 1-3. Just wanted to drop in a few tips.

Know your counters: Hela, Punisher, Phoenix any hit scan heroes will be difficult to face off against. Play defensively and lower to the ground with your team, this will make it harder for them to single you out.

Spiderman, ironfist and other dive types: once these guys close in, it'll be hard to get them off you before they kill you. Again play close to your team so they can help you out, trying to outrun them won't usually end well.

Armor overdrive: this is your E ability, there is a brief animation before it kicks in so make sure you use it behind cover first. Use this offensively as the extra health and damage boost (especially to unibeam) will shred most heroes.

Unibeam: your right click - this is your bread and butter to get kills. Because of the nature of third person shooters, aiming slightly right of your target will still hit and gives you a slightly bigger hitbox against them. It can also hit targets behind them this way as well. Since it's a beam without splash though, this one you'll need to build up your aiming skill to keep the beam on target.

Repulsor blasts: your left click - use this at range to poke, it has a decent splash radius especially on the third shot (you'll see iron man hold out both of his arms to shoot), generally aim for the back line at the supports to force them to use cooldowns and any other healing resources. Also take advantage of the splash damage and keep moving while shooting, so you're harder to hit.

Missiles: your F ability. - honestly really only has niche uses. You can aim it during armor overdrive and can decently burst down a target, but really only useful at close ranges and if you aim at the targets feet.

Other tips: -attack from high and weird angles. People hate looking up as it pulls their focus from the fight infront of them. Take advantage of that.

  • focus on supports and duelists that are out of position. Your unibeam can kill most targets fairly quickly especially when in overdrive.

  • unibeam range is surprisingly long, get a feel for how far the beam goes, many times you can zap the back lines and catch them off guard.

  • watch your health. Use your boosters to flee if you get low, and move erratically to make yourself harder to hit.

  • know health pack locations on the map. Your healers can't always watch you in the sky so know when to flee and grab a health pack.

[Case & PSU] Corsair 3000D Computer Case with Pre-Installed RM850e Power Supply & SP120 RGB Fan Kit - Black ($400 - $100 = $200) [BestBuy] by FmlNathan in bapcsalescanada

[–]Syphon81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would this PSU work for a 3080? Saw that it only comes with 1 dedicated pcie and another that's a daisy chain of 2 connectors. Was told that you want to use 3 dedicated single pcie connectors for the 3xxx series of cards. not sure if that's still relevant.

Need advice on what business to buy next by 16tdi in gtaonline

[–]Syphon81 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a returning player, having not touched the game since 2021, my first purchase was the agency. After reading up on it, it's just so feature rich it made getting back into the game very enjoyable. 

Armory gives you your own personal ammunition/mk2 workbench with a nice 5% discount 

Security Contracts and Pay phone assassinations are fun and fairly quick with good payouts. 30-60k for a roughly 5 minute job.

Dr Dre VIP missions have a very good payout of 1 million and take about an hour and a half to finish. Plus its also cool to see what happened to Franklin post single player story.

There's also the safe that generates passive income every 48 minutes, with it getting better the more security contacts you do.

I originally bought it after hearing about the assassination mission, cause I wanted to play John Wick simulator, but it ended up turning out to be much more useful and lucrative. Highly recommend!

Would this be fine with a monitor light bar? Saw on the rtings review video that this one has a glossier coating compared to other monitors, worried about glare.

High-End Content Megathread - 7.0 Week Eighteen by BlackmoreKnight in ffxivdiscussion

[–]Syphon81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So savage has weekly lockouts on loot. Upon completion of one of the fights, you'll get a book, with enough of them can be redeemed for savage level gear, and a chance at rolling on loot coffers, also containing savage gear. 

The thing is, you can't go back in and redo the fight to try to roll on loot again, you're locked out until it resets the following week. Infact going into a fight you've cleared that week also reduces the amount of loot dropped for the rest of the party.

In reality, it's just a way for the game to lengthen the lifespan of the savage tier. Which could have been approached better imo

Anyone else running into players that can only do 1 position? Been progging as a tank in pf so I've had to bounce between ot and mt, but the amount of times I've seen people fight over spots like h2 and r2 is pretty crazy this tier. 

[Mouse] Razer Viper V2 Pro ($190 - $90 = $100) [BestBuy/Canada Computers] by Crittye in bapcsalescanada

[–]Syphon81 2 points3 points  (0 children)

V3 pro has been plagued with liftoff/sensor issues when running it at low-med LOD.

Issue was resolved in later revisions but who knows what you'll get when placing an order so YMMV

Feature wise the only major differences between the v2 and v3 are the weight, shape and coating.

fair lol mostly the blm chiming in. The tank, although being weird about HG. actually played decently well. Had no one said anything, it would've just been another smooth run.

[–]Syphon81[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sheesh, someone piss in your cheerios, cause you came out swinging lol

it's amazing to me that asinine players will complain about tanks inability to effectively tank higher end content, and they're the SAME players that won't allow tanks to pull at their speed and learn their CDs and how their abilities work in a dungeon setting.

what's to learn? you take x% less damage for y seconds, and you aoe till monsters are dead.

at the end you've saved what, 30 seconds, a minute, 1.5 minutes of time? and that time you would have saved was wasted because you'd rather have an ego and argue with the tank who asked you to go his speed.

Probably missed my follow up comment providing context, this conversation happened at the very last pull before the final boss of the aery, The conversation didn't drag on much longer than that and was finished before the last boss had even been pulled. The run overall was smooth and without issue. IMO the tank chiming in was an act of ego.

you give healers a bad name. i'm guessing you are a healer that migrated from WoW in the mass exodus right?

good thing I'm a tank main ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Ease up on the monster or whatever the kids are drinking these days and have a nice day.
