[5thGenOwner]

Wow, already 29. Nice! I'd be much higher but everyday they seem to wipe our characters and I have to start over.

Here's some good tips from PMC (from the other thread), suitable for this thread...

• Dying costs 5% of your bank (maxing at 5k) so try to avoid getting in fights with random players.
• Passive mode is not invincibility. You're still vulnerable to being shot from a car and being run over.
• When robbing a store, kill the store keeper and take the money out of the register for more.
• You can sell cars to any auto-shop once every in-game day (around 48 minutes) which usually goes for 4-9k.
• Luxery Sedans and high end SUVs are the highest paying car when selling cars to the auto-shop.
• You can withdraw/deposit cash safely from your phone.
• All your progress online before the brown sync icon appears will be lost on turning off your console, selecting Leave GTA Online will save your progress.
• The Radio Mirror Park radio station is the best station.
• You can also shut down your console if you lost a great sum of money and haven't synced yet to restore your previous save.
• When you find a good farming mission, repeat as much as possible. Most good farming missions you cannot choose to join and usually end up joining by random.
• You run faster with no weapons out I think?
• Gerald's missions seem to pay the highest. Would like to know if anyone has found any higher paying missions.
• I found a crowbar on the death-match mission on the boat and got to keep it afterwards. It's awesome.
• If you're not finding good matches on Quick Job try swapping sessions by pressing Find New Session.
• Buying Armor before a session is usually worth it. It's cheaper then the 2k death penalty.
• Blue moving objective points that aren't auto GPS tracked will appear under Quick GPS.
• If a player in your passenger sets a GPS route on the map, it will also appear on your map.
• Simeon's missions are time consuming and not worth the payout compared to Gerald's missions.
• Use Find New Session to quickly warp back to your garage/apartment.
• If you get a phone call from an AI, your characters lips will move, it's pretty funny.
• When buying an apartment/garage, you will sell your already owned property and get about half the value back to contribute to the purchase.
• Only the host needs to be the required level to start a mission. Anyone can play with anyone regardless of level requirements.
• Press RT to vote for replay mission after everyone has liked even if the option is not shown.
• Mashing jump up hills is faster then running.
• Sports/Super cars must be bought through the ultimate motors website to keep in your garage, sell or modify.
• Don't quit golf/tennis/shooting range etc. because you are losing. You still get rp (experience) for losing and for being a good sport you will get monetary rewards. Plus you still get points towards your skills. Races can be done solo. They can give 500-1000 rp each time alone which can be a great experience booster. Keep in mind though that it costs 100 each time.
• Players drop 100 every time they die, in addition to any funds they are carrying.
• You have to start a solo/private game from the pause menu.
• Blowing up other players owned vehicles deems you a bad sport, so be careful on your drive-by stick-bomb sprees.
• On the other hand, shooting the all the tires out of a players personal vehicle is totally okay.
• Heritage can influence character height in Character Creation.
• How you set your time spent in character creation can affect how you look, though apparently some of these can be removed when you get an apartment.
• Stores can be re-robbed immediately if you swap sessions.
• Driving a car into an auto-shop gets rid of your wanted level.
• Cops will sometimes chase you if the car you are driving is stolen.
• All clothing stores have the same options for different items.
• To unlock car upgrades you need to run races with that class of car and level up.
• Holding back allows you to split up money that you get from robberies.
• Wear a mask when you rob a place and remove it once you exit to drop your wanted level by 1 star.

Good Money Farming Missions:


[Violent Duct - 2-3 Minutes - 9k Payout - Gerald Mission]

• Fastest money making method right now.
• Run on easy for the fastest run.
• Don't immediately gun at the start, instead sneak in from the left entrance and you can do a sweep in like 20 seconds.
• Recommended 3-4 person party. Host must be level 15+.
• Kill the gang and have a smooth ride to the drop off.
• Nice, now keep yo mouth shut about me, ya hear.

[Meth'd up - 3-4 Minutes - 5k Payout - Gerald Mission]

• Low level requirement, can't remember exact.
• Drive/run straight to the RV and drive straight to the drop off. Driving off road to the objective will make your life a lot easier by avoiding most of the enemies.

[A Titan of a Job - 6-9 Minutes - 10k Payout - Trevor Mission]

• Recommended 4-6 person party. Host must be level 24+.
• Run on easy for the fastest run.
• Have your team attack the hanger from both sides as you make your wait in, move the truck that's in-front of the aircraft and take off. Enjoy your smooth flight back and don't crash.
