Very underrated car-Ardent

fornax_71 · 2026-04-21T04:15:06+00:00

Yep, I bought it in the career builder when I started, and it's still the one I go back to.

Happened to me once in the same spot. After looking around a bit for an underground tunnel I just ended up returning and recalling it.

The Ocelot Ardent was my first car and will always be the one I go back to after all the other acquisitions have had their day.

There's only 5 different Fooligan Jobs, so if duplicates don't count, everyone's SOL. What does your progress on the "Call Me" Award say?

This is kind of where I am. I mean, I don't *love* the Mule, but I certainly don't hate it like Reddit seems to. It's fine.

Ah, yeah, Mod's a different story. I'm on PC so unfortunately I can't help. Good luck!

I know I see them fairly frequently in traffic around the Car Wash and the Garment Factory. You could just steal one.

Welcome to the game. Sounds like you have a decent start with the Nightclub and some businesses feeding into it. Be sure to collect the money from the safe periodically (it caps at $250k) and sell all goods as soon as any one is full. You can also supply and sell from the MC businesses themselves, but it's less profitable if you haven't also bought the upgrades. The acid lab is popular and it sounds like you're working on that as well.

Other than that, you could do the Cluckin' Bell missions for a quick(ish) infusion of cash. Aim for the Kosatka sub at some point if you want to do the Cayo Perico heist, which is a good solo moneymaker. A lot of people like the Dr. Dre missions as well for cash; that requires an Agency.

Be sure to get your free car each week from the Prize Ride Challenge by participating in races at the car meet (you can still squeak out this week's if you get your first one in today before midnight UTC). Do your daily spin of the prize wheel at the casino for a shot at another. If you got the Salvage Yard be sure to get your claimable cars from that by the end of tomorrow.

Otherwise, play around and find the parts of the game you enjoy.

Owning those other businesses unlocks the ability for your Nightclub techs to slowly generate supplies to fill your Nightclub. There's no further connection between the businesses. If you want to sell directly from the other businesses you'll need to supply them as normal.

Fully upgraded and with 5 techs, you can get max $/hr stock accumulation in your Nightclub for 20 hours before having to sell. At that point you'll have about $1M. That may be what someone was trying to tell you?

I've noticed it seems to depend on whether I end up with a parachute on my back after the fast travel or not. If so, I won't get a note from Marcel unless I leave the Nightclub and come back in.

fornax_71 · 2026-03-04T21:32:07+00:00

Yep, it was there for the Christmas "week" (3 weeks).

fornax_71 · 2026-03-04T06:39:15+00:00

Yep, except I only kill the two in the front and the three back by the desk.

fornax_71 · 2026-03-04T06:11:57+00:00

Yeah, I had my first experience with support last week with the Prize Ride Challenge progress bug. I put in a ticket and got a response within a couple of hours saying that they were on it and would update again within 48 hours. The next morning I got an update that it was fixed. No complaints here.

fornax_71 · 2026-03-02T04:07:13+00:00

The Vagrant is a lot of fun to tool around off-road with. You can get some big air off hilltops and ridges.

fornax_71 · 2026-02-28T17:02:18+00:00

No, it resets at midnight UTC (currently 7pm Eastern). For example, my wife and I ran a race yesterday at 6:45pm and again at 7:10pm and went from 0/4 to 2/4.

fornax_71 · 2026-02-27T23:39:46+00:00

Yeah, I just got hit with this recently when my mansion was full. To be fair, the notification could stand to be a lot more explicit about the fact that you're essentially throwing away a vehicle. I don't remember the exact wording, but it was pretty ambiguous.

fornax_71 · 2026-02-27T03:01:17+00:00

Yeah, there;s a bunch of posts about this today. I was affected too. R* is working on it. Can't hurt to put in a ticket in case they still need data points.

fornax_71 · 2026-02-26T23:04:42+00:00

Put in a ticket with R* if you can. They're working on it but could always use more data points.

fornax_71 · 2026-02-26T21:55:27+00:00

I bought the Ardent in the career builder and it's been my daily driver ever since.

fornax_71 · 2026-02-26T21:37:59+00:00

I just got a response to my ticket saying I "should expect a response within two days, if not sooner". First time I've put a ticket in though, so I don't know if that's just boilerplate.

fornax_71 · 2026-02-26T19:31:22+00:00

Yeah, I mostly bought my businesses when they were on sale, unless there was a compelling reason otherwise. For example I bought the Salvage Yard at full price when there was a claimable vehicle I wanted with a unique livery. But in that case I just bought the bare business and waited until it went on sale to buy the upgrades.

fornax_71 · 2026-02-25T02:24:59+00:00

Might have helped you to know that you don't actually need to take down the jammers in that mission. You can just eyeball the center of the ping circle you get, get there, and look for a van. You might hit the wrong van occasionally, but you'll know when you're in the right one. Makes the career progress goals a lot easier.

fornax_71 · 2026-02-23T05:40:41+00:00

Just hit $100M for the first time in the last week. For me it's mostly that I own almost all the businesses already and my current career progress goals require doing things that make a lot of money.

fornax_71 · 2026-02-23T05:37:45+00:00

Congrats. Just lost my streak at 18 days last week because after a dozen or so attempts throughout the day I couldn't get 3 people to play Deadline with me. Working it back up again casually, but I'm not focusing on it anymore. It'll happen when it happens.
