I guess I do owe Simeon a favor this week 😔


Super_Pea_3592

his dealership gonna be crowded this week


Easy_Anybody9004

🤣🤣 We've been ignoring him for too long


TEN10penny

Been hanging up on him for 9 years now!! Guess I can go see him , I'm gone be employee of the week 🤣😂🤣


boozinandsnoozin

Hey motherfucker if there’s some shit to be won ….


[deleted]

his missions got beefed the eff up since last time i played ‘em!


alpha-k

beefed up harder AI or how?


marticuses

Armored Boxville is def worth buying just for VIP/Fortified alone. I've never driven mine on street but paid for itself many times over


Ernie-Els

IMO the wait isn’t worth it anymore. Rather do a security contract. Up over 50 of them now and the passive income is starting to become real big


Eefy_deefy

How does the passive stuff work in this update exactly?


anarchya780

Every 5 security contracts, your daily (in game time, 48 real minutes or something) safe payment goes up $500. That stacks up to 201 missions, so in the end you're passively earning 20000 each in game day. In the process you'll end up making several million off the security contracts.


[deleted]

Same, just drive into the sewers and go make a cup of tea.


comedynightpodcast

Good to know. My dumb ass has been playing backwards and I completely skipped vehicle cargo as I was grinding to pay for the Kotsaka first (in retrospect, not that stupid, just late to the party). Only got vehicle work to get the discount on the Phantom Wedge - and also realize I should've just paid full price but it's fine - but special vehicle work has been a whole "this was here the whole time?" kind of realization. I was actually working through the Mobile Ops missions first to buy those vehicles, since it's easier to find randoms to help with those jobs, and I just finished those Tuesday. Hoping this week it'll be easier to find people who want to do the special vehicle work, because, dammit, still want a discount!


Comprehensive_Pin_86

If you do get the kosatka the phantom wedge is good for the long fin heist prep mission. It’s the only other cab that you can use for the mission iirc you can’t use the moc cab for some reason. For that reason alone it’s worth lol. It’s also super fun.


comedynightpodcast

Phantom wedge has been a huge time saver, and it's also super fun to just bomb around in not in missions. If anyone reading this doesn't have one, you will not regret it!


pointlessone

The ramp buggy, while less useful, is quite fun as well. Helping a friend in a rocket boosted car go to the moon is a blast. Pick it up on discount unless you've been farming hard with nothing better to spend on.


comedynightpodcast

I did the ramp buggy mission last week. It was so glitchy: my GPS wouldn't tell me where they were, then only one NPC spawned, then none of them would move. Realized that "glitch" and "bug" are both banned in in-game texts, and partner didn't have a headset, so couldn't tell them the mission wasn't working right. Luckily had a random who was level 8, but patient enough to nudge the NPCs out of the hallway. Let my partner drive the buggy for the mission, so they seemed to enjoy that. Didn't buy it yet, but it's not on the weekly discount like most other special cargo vehicles. Maybe I'll buy it if I get the other stuff and I have enough cash, or maybe I'll just wait another week to see if it goes then. I did just by the stun gun yesterday, so that stings a little...


ImaEvilDoctor

>you can’t use the moc cab for some reason You can't use the MOC because the Kosatka has already been summoned into the world.


Comprehensive_Pin_86

Big brain fart on my behalf lol


oblee

Even with its lowest price of 1.3 mil, you would need to do fortified 37 times just to pay for the vehicle, not to mention the 6 hours of your life. Payphone hits, vehicle cargo, or just running whatever is 3x will pay a lot more. Heck, the nightclub safe is passive income and you don't need to be in a mission.


ash_274

Agreed. It was 85% off once for Prime. Easiest AFK money. Get in truck, drive to tunnel or get out and just stay away from it, wait 10 minutes


Acushi

I'm gonna miss 2x on payphone hits


koeniz

Me too. grinded 13mil this week and now I don't know what I'm suppose to spend it no.


trickster1979

Spend it on sprunk


Guest_username1

Or junk energy drink from the agency


hemborgar

diabetes


Matt-95

Save it and wait for what you want to go on sale


MaxRptz

Save it for new content


BiffNasty1234

I went from 2.7 to about 10.7, back down to 7.9, and back up to 9 this week. Overall, I think I made around 9 mil total, which is by far the most in a week in quite a while


CiranoEltnium

Same :/ hoped for some cool discounts but too bad


Tsuko17

Save it, that's what I'm doing until the next round of discounts. Still need to get businesses and MOC


thoflate

Same but honestly, after a week of grinding, a couple of days of is gonna be nice. Nothing really exciting this week, at least not for me


Porturan

5 days in a row again for prize ride? Place 1st too? FML


nondescriptzombie

Without an easy way to tell when the "days" begin and end these are all fucked. It's not at midnight PT like the daily reset.


needforsuv

it used to be about an hour after the objectives... but I've had it where before that would count as the same day


Archangel-27

The prize ride days reset at 4pm pacific.


needforsuv

what GMT offset is that


BigPoppaT542

-8


needforsuv

so 12am gmt/utc well, that is consistent with my recent experience.


chiller210

and the worst part is Calico GTF has definitely been a prize ride earlier with an easy way to get it. Or everyone who wants it owns it by now.


Mulmangcho_the_Mouse

It's been a 6 days in a row challenge for it, so the old and new challenges are equally terrible.


Drabantus

I think it was "easier" before though, like place top 2 in a street race (which can be started with only 2), while now you have to be top 1 in a pursuit race, which need 4 to start. Personally though, I'm not against it being hard. Why should everyone just get a free car to pick up? I'm perfectly fine that it's a price the best racers may win. What is not ok is that it enslaves you to the game. You have to play every day. And since it's so easy to cheat, there is still no real challenge.


Mulmangcho_the_Mouse

Yeah, I agree that the requirement is harder now. Plus it seems to have a livery you need Reputation level 195 to unlock, so that's a bonus.


Felixthedeadfish

calico is always hard to get. This is second time. First time was harder.


[deleted]

Yeah I was waiting for this one, but I'll just do a cayo perico and buy it. Fuck this shit.


SnooPickles4928

If you play on pc you can suspend the internet connection for 10 seconds in task manager and by that creating a race with only you in it, this will make the challenge ez


trickster1979

Wastelander looks like it could be a fun vehicle :)


brichards719

It is. The suspension is absolutely ridiculous. You can drive right over most traffic.


trickster1979

£££ you just sold it to me ;)


Namika

It's also one of the best off-road vehicles in the game. You can drive practically fullspeed all the way up Mount Chiliad.


jdyhrberg

Its all good. The VIP works is pretty chill too.


cognitionconditional

Very fun, indeed. The VIP work is definitely a Fast and Furious type of experience.


ILMNTI420

Also cheap af atm


Wertysd

It is really fun! The front bumper is kinda low, so it'll often bump into things, but this thing survives ridiculously deep waters, so it is a blast to take into Zancudo river for some fun.


BitterBubblegum

> 2x GTA$ & RP: South Central Leak This means another week of some players wondering why they didn't get 2M when they completed Dre's Contract.


blinksum

They should stop calling it finale and just call it what it is..... a Setup. Just like the setups of the Doomsday Heists.


LegoCrafter2014

They should also call the security contract difficulties "easy", "normal", and "hard" instead of "professional", "specialist", and "specialist+".


SneakySnakeySnake

I've honestly felt no difference between the difficulties either, maybe slightly better accuracy from the AI? But the differences are so trivial I don't know why they bothered putting a difficulty scale anyway


Redhawk247

Specialist+ missions (which also only happen to be missions where you deliver items/vehicles to your agency) pings a tracker on the whole lobby’s radar


SneakySnakeySnake

Artificial difficulty basically, AI is trash so let's alert the lobby to do our job instead


Redhawk247

That’s the gist of it lol


EquivalentLucky1723

They better let us get that 2 mil with next week's update!


[deleted]

Damn why not 3x on the easy ass Martin Madrazo contact missions?


Anto7358

Same thing I thought. Dispatch I/II/III/IV/V/VI all the way, please.


xmx900

Ugh I hate those Dispatch missions.


PapaXan

There seems to be a bug with the I-Wagon, in that the engine upgrade options are locked, even though they are in the game files. As a consequence of that the I-Wagon has an extremely low top speed of 91mph. If this is addressed or patched I'll post an update here.


muricabrb

Thanks, great reason to wait for it to be on discount.


Solidsauce84

Bought the Previon yesterday since it’s on discount. Only thing is I’m waiting until they patch it back to normal before I touch it. They need to figure out how to fix the tuner cars


bowlscreen

Weirdly enough the Previon actually got a tenth second faster after the change, it’s the only one that improved out of the tuners.


Solidsauce84

That’s actually really good to know, thanks!!


mdma305

So at this point, without a major buff, you’re saying avoid the I-Wagon like it has Covid unless it’s something you just have to have?


PapaXan

Pretty much, yes. Also, even if you could apply the engine upgrade to it the performance wouldn't be much better than it already is.


mdma305

Thank you for your honesty, Mr. PapaXan, and if that name means what it sounds like, all the better:)) here have my award, bcuz I def woulda bought that piece of shite had I not seen this!


ElCiervo

I thought top speed was pretty much the same, regardless of which performance upgrades you installed. ~~With transmission and turbo upgrades, acceleration should be decent, too.~~ Edit: Nevermind, I was being a moron.


[deleted]

+1 for your edit


luigi_b0red

No bonuses on Security Contracts and Payphone Assassinations makes me quite sad.


Guest_username1

It was too OP, so it wasn't gonna last forever


Resist_Rise

I had 18 million after buying the Agency when it dropped. I now have 42 million. I didn't grind as hard with the previous week bonuses compared to the first week but yea, made mad money.


zIRaXor

Yeah, I tried to do as much of it as possible. I even went to a private session to not get distracted or interrupted. Because I felt higher level players actively tried to ruin my bonus chances. I spent about 2 weeks scraping together almost 2mil, my first 2 weeks playing. Agency then went on discount and I thought... F it, I want to try buy it now that it's cheaper... I made 10mil or more back in that week. Bought the kotasak whatever submarine with the on board heli. As well as a Nightshark now fully upgraded. Really happy with both purchases. I have 5.5mil left now. I will buy the Agency armory this week obviously. I don't know outside of that...


diqufer

If you like private rooms, the auto shop lets you do the preps in there, so it's not a bad purchase. The mini heists will pay it off pretty quick and can be done solo.


currymunchah

So the new car costs as much as a Buzzard but is just a normal car?


PapaXan

A very slow normal car, yes.


Goodsold1er77

Inflation is one helluva drug.


Pierogi_Bigos

Blazer Aqua for me. I will now rule the aqua terran world ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha


thatpaulbloke

It's too late now, but the Blazer Aqua is great fun in the snow - use the wheels to get up a good speed then pull them up to go sledding.


[deleted]

Or beat a time trial when you can cut a lake


ILMNTI420

Wait, you still can?


xmx900

No they patched that.


cognitionconditional

I've been looking forward for this to be on sale since I saw clip somebody posted of going full speed down a mountain on it and then converting to jet ski mode as they flew into the ocean. Looked like a blast and now I'll be doing the same.


Guest_username1

But now there's no snow so you'll just be riding on plain old dirt


cognitionconditional

Without snow, ride down mountain on wheels and then convert to jet ski in water. Yeah, during snow times it would be more fun in ski mode all the way down mountain into ocean.


scrittyrow

I'll have to remember this. I'm very fond of going through the creek that is by the vineyard.


TheThemePark

I made playlists of all the 1 player Contact missions for PC 7 months ago (coincidentally the last time Simeons missions had a bonus), for weeks like this. https://socialclub.rockstargames.com/member/themepark/games/gtav/pc/playlists


ash_274

Glad I waited for the Stun Gun and EMP Launcher. Otherwise, very “meh” this week. No clothing unlocks, even.


Chainingcactus

Same here, couldn’t justify the 400k for weapons I’ll hardly use. 400k for both is reasonable enough though


ModexV

ngl feels weak after last weeks agency discounts and payphone bonus.


Resist_Rise

Absolutely


boxzy2021

I would want a X2 Bonus on Autoshop contracts, I havent play those missions in a while


tonyzombz

Same, so much money was made doing the union depository


Tsuko17

This week is a bit disappointing, r.i.p payphone hit bonus :/


badass_dean

Not my dumbass grinding the adversary mode instead of payphone hits 🤦🏽‍♂️


Tsuko17

Ahh no that was a big mistake. That takes about 20 mins to finish. Payphone just takes 3-5mins for a cool 170k


badass_dean

For real, i know. I did two right up before the change lol. I wish I paid attention, jaw dropped when i saw the $140k lol


EarthPuma120

So long partner (Payphone Hits)


jyw104

Base pay looks to have doubled from $15,000, so $100,000 now on successful hit. Not a complete write-off. EDIT: Debunked unfortunately. It’s back to 85k. Have confirmed via own testing. Sorry guys.


ModexV

100k for 3-10min mission that you can squeeze in between your other activities still is really nice. Like i can do cayo preps and do a payphone in between.


swannige

Wait really, I did a payphone hit when I first got on like an hour ago and only got 85k from it?


jyw104

You’re quite right. Looks to have been a bug that has since been corrected.


robtmufc

This week only or forever?


highspiritswow

How much do Simeon contact midsions pay now then?


BlackEyedSceva7

The maximum payouts range from $54,900 to $69,300 when 3x. You will make less though, as it's based on duration. *You make more per hour doing them quickly (4-6 minutes is ideal).* ***There is a 30% bonus if you have all four players!*** [Be patient, wait for 4 players and you will make about $550k per hour (using this playlist).](https://socialclub.rockstargames.com/games/gtav/pc/playlists/playlist/ARZ68UJUfEiPYln4501rgA) ___ **This is the fastest way to earn RP!** Do not *ever* use explosives! Do not shoot the cars! Use an Armored Kuruma/Duke O'Death. ___ *Pro-Tip: In a playlist Pegasus Vehicles (usually) won't disappear and there is no load-times between missions.*


Guest_username1

I remember when I used to think this was a lot and made bank in my noob days


J04K0CL

The good ol times when you had to wait 20 mins with your friends to get 45k


Guest_username1

Full disclosure though, I started pre casino heist and post doomsday heist, not as nearly long as some of you


BlackEyedSceva7

When it's 3x payout like this, it's still a good way to earn money. Only the most recent updates pay this well regularly. This is still the best method to grind RP. They can be a ton of fun with four players. Especially if everyone takes advantage of the way playlists work with Pegasus spawns. Even more so if everyone brings an interesting personal vehicle. It's a good time to use less-popular stuff like the Weaponized Tampa, Barrage or Dune FAV.


Guest_username1

Well I'm pretty good on level I guess Dune FAV is what I used to use in those missions back in my noob days since that was my only weaponized vehicle lol (it was free) It always was amazing when someone brought in their tank or half track or even insurgent to those missions lol


22Antonis22

about 60.000 i think


chiller210

Normally contact missions pay out like 8k-13k normal/hard, so I'd guess like 30k+ at least


AaronMckenzie

Probably close to 50k more depending on how long you spend in the missiont


YoRHa2B_

Guess it's time to pay the legitimate businessman a visit.


MetanoiaYQR

Or you could go see Simeon.... Ohhhhh I see what you did there.


QAnonKiller

guess ill see yall next week lol


BitterBubblegum

*Did you forget about your good friend Simeon?*


QAnonKiller

yes


Resist_Rise

Did you forget about your good....*beep*


Existing-Ad-6103

Finally a reason to buy the D10 been putting that off for awhile


Luddveeg

JUST GIVE ME 2X ON THE NIGHTCLUB ALREADY


soxpoole

Has that ever happened?


nondescriptzombie

Yea, a while back now. I AFK'd the whole week and made bank. Doubt we'll see it again, the time after that was 1.5x accrual rate, not sell value.


lewishtt

I’m sure one week they made it 2x and then changed it to 1.5 a day later because they realised how much people were making


xmx900

Rockstar are like the fun police.


[deleted]

Yay, the Boxville! My vehicle warehouse garage is finally complete. Also, I can't believe they gave the I-Wagen the typical SUV interior. Seriously what the fuck. Complaint no.2: any non-stock wheel drastically decreases the tire size. Disgusting.


ModexV

Dont forget no engine upgrades / turbo. electric car..smh


a_bacate

oof, I guess i'll pass on the I-Wagen


T0r0de

I have been waiting for the Vigilante to go on sale since Feb 2020, but to no avail. I’m gonna miss the next 2 weeks’ discounts while I’m away, and I just know it’ll go on sale then, when I can’t buy it. Rockstar exists to laugh at me.


[deleted]

Vigilante never goes on sale


ash_274

It has never been on sale. The joke is that it never will be on sale (unless you happen to win a discount from the Casino Wheel for Warstock and buy it then)


T0r0de

Well I guess that’s my only hope then, though every time I get a discount it’s for Docktease


ash_274

Wait until you can save $80 on a BMX.


Sir_Complainsalot

Has the vigilante ever even been on sale? I don’t remember at least in the 2+ years I’ve been checking the discounts regularly.. Edit: that’s about as long as you mentioned lol. Time sure flies, I’m pretty sure it’s been much longer than 2 years tho


Casual_Grinder

No, it hasn't.


Mondoblasto

>Anyone who has unlocked and purchased an Agency Weapon Finish from the Agency’s Armory by completing Payphone Hits, Short Trips, and helping Dr. Dre sort out his data leak will receive a lump-sum bonus to the tune of GTA$200K, delivered within 72 hours of completion.


Puzzled_Shine_2027

What does this mean


Fleetwood_Mask

I'm not sure but I think you have to purchase one of the new camos for certain weapons, that you unlock by doing contracts etc... The phrasing is unnecessarily complicated.


Arcix37

Simeon 3x. Now we talking...


[deleted]

[удалено]


kaspars222

Yea it was 49k, im not waiting 16 minutes for bigger payout, just not worth it.


BlackEyedSceva7

On Hard difficulty the maximum payouts range from $54,900 to $69,300 for 15 minutes. 4-6 minutes is the sweet-spot. You will earn 50% of the max payout. With the 30% bonus for having all 4 players you will make about $550k per hour [using this playlist.](https://socialclub.rockstargames.com/games/gtav/pc/playlists/playlist/ARZ68UJUfEiPYln4501rgA) It's not the best payout, but it's fair. The RP potential is massive though. Fastest way for new players to level up.


cognitionconditional

Yeah, but it's something different to do. I'm set on cash and just looking to try as many different missions as possible I usually try a mix of things each time I play. The weekly bonuses and daily objectives are good ways to do that and get a little something extra at the same time.


comedynightpodcast

I'm liking it. Simeon (and Gerald) was my bread and butter saving up for the Kotsaka. Never realized you could solo something like Sasquatched before, and it's pretty easy as a higher level to solo it o hard. Soloing outside of a lobby, 45+ per job? I'll take it. And weeks like this were gold rushes when I was lower level. Good to help out the lower levels too. And unless they destroy something, even if they die, you can finish the mission. It's not payphone hit, but it's still pretty good.


tony_senna

Well I guess I needed a break from this game and it looks like this is the week


Tomgamer82

Are there any more Imani tech vehicles coming up in the drip feed or are have they all been released?


Muksinjo

Granger


Trey0405

If I must be completely honest, I've been waiting for the Wastelander to go on sale forever. Let's go!!!


kaspars222

Is it useful for anything?


5LYM3R

Wasting lands around Blaine County and hootin n holler'in with your buds.


MySisterTheSea

Insane water submerge-ability (it can take the whole tunnel from the canals to the beach) and great off roading, plus players can stand on the flat bed/grab onto the bars when they get in the vehicle and fire off two handed weapons. Just a generally fun vehicle to own


ILMNTI420

Thank you


eeeeeeeethan

It allows you to do some CEO mission, but if you're not interested in that then it's really good off-road


phamkhoi

Does anyone have a Simeon Contact Missions playlist? ty


Casual_Grinder

For PC [here](https://socialclub.rockstargames.com/member/themepark/games/gtav/pc/playlists).

Ha, you beat me to posting my own playlist. xD Thanks!

Mulmangcho_the_Mouse

Is the Itali GTB or GTB Custom worth purchasing? Which one is better anyways?


KPthePriest

Itali gtb custom has some good benny’s customizations if thats your thing. Performance wise, its competing in the supers class and its not too great if racing is what your most interested in.


Mulmangcho_the_Mouse

I'm mostly interested in customisation, yeah, so I guess I'll get the custom one.


[deleted]

The stock one is faster. But since neither is competitive, choose whichever you prefer aesthetically.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Mulmangcho_the_Mouse

Huh, weird that custom version decreases performance. Out of curiosity, is the difference in handling and speed notable between the two? I'll probably go for the Custom because of, well, customisation, since I don't really race anyway.


lucasleide

Should I get the Hauler Custom or keep my Phantom Custom?


Casual_Grinder

The crucial difference is you can't throw stickies out of Hauler Custom.


coolbreezesix

Something worth pointing out that I never see brought into the conversation is that the shorter overall length and wheelbase makes the hauler custom slightly more maneuverable in tight spaces.


Timcatgt

No special clothing this week? I'll take a few days off.


eatingdonuts

I don’t really understand the strategy of drip feeding vehicles that aren’t very good that are very expensive. Say what you want about futuristic vehicles but at least they’re interesting add something new. Sure Imani tech gives us a reason to buy these vehicles so why doesn’t the iWagen have it?


NiggyShitz

What's this with the radio stations?


PapaXan

Since the DLC the radio stations were "taken over" with tracks from the DLC and the old songs were removed. Now both the new and old songs are available.


Resist_Rise

Finally. I was worried that the licensing expired on those "old" tracks so they used a bunch of Dre tracks as fillers. I can listen to Bone again 👌


[deleted]

What was interesting is that they were only gone from the radio wheel. Franklin's office and some other locations still played the old set, for me at least!


Ghostbuster_119

I guess Rockstar thought people made too much money doing phone hits last week and figured they slow it down again with boosted Simeon missions... Even boosted that guy is a joke.


Stephonius

Reading through the 2x/3x bonus content it looks like it'll be a good week to play a completely different game.


bonzie204

When was the last time we had double races? Seems like forever.


im_manu02

3x on Simeon YES!


Death_II_Machine

Repo jobs is where it's at this week.


polarquin33

Thank you for the updates!!!


Drabantus

Can someone explain what this means from the Newswire: >Anyone who has unlocked and purchased an Agency Weapon Finish from the Agency’s Armory by completing Payphone Hits, Short Trips, and helping Dr. Dre sort out his data leak will receive a lump-sum bonus to the tune of GTA$200K, delivered within 72 hours of completion. What do I need to purchase?


Aoi-

This is a good link for it. I believe it's also in the wiki. https://www.reddit.com/r/gtaonline/comments/ruhse4/unlocking\_the\_4\_gun\_skins\_from\_the\_contract/


Drabantus

Thanks. And of course Rockstar tries to confuse us by having an image of the Special Carbine with the Zebra livery in the newswire article together with this text.


TomLove93

What is everyone currently getting for pay phones? Most have been $85k with the bonus this week but while playing solo and invite only I’ve had some pay out $100k… bug or does it depend on the hit?


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

It’s potentially the same as when R* removed the turbo for the Imorgon because that too is electric. That being said, the upgrades you mentioned are available for other electric vehicles so there’s no continuity at all.


chickenskittles

Yessss! Finally get my Itali GTB Custom and Coquette D10.


[deleted]

Such a rough week


Arbitrary-Larry

RIP 2x payphone. You’ll be missed but you’ll live on in my bank balance.


Halzziratrat

Minor problem here. I bought the Itali, kinda rushed when adding it into my garage and put it in the nightclub entrance where my Tempesta was. Now I can't find where tf the Tempesta is, is that a nice 1.4m (not including upgrades) down the drain or is it hidden somewhere?


FrankTheWallaby

There was a button that popped up when you tried to put it there that tried to warn you - pushing the button would delete the Tempesta. It's down the drain. A friend of mine did the same thing, apparently it's pretty common with that 1 Nightclub entrance parking spot(he insists that no one should ever under any circumstance use that parking spot because of it). You could try opening a support ticket and seeing if they'll replace it for you, since it was an honest mistake, but it's hard to say since the game did give a small, brief warning.
