Cheers for earning me $26k chaps - I thought I'd quit out, left the room and came back in just as you were finishing the mission

[scarble]

once all you losers left me and six blitzed connection, it was eeasy.


have worked out a rough $/s but some of the times are pure guesswork. Looks like RR is still one of the best earners at ~$47/s though, Chemical Extraction looks like it could be in the same range, depending on where you spawn.

eta: second run of chemical extraction, 4 players again, took us 5:14 (~5:00 before), pays $14240 again, $45/s.
Holed up in Burton may pay as much as $60/s, $13650 for 03:44.. I might have f**ked up the timing though
Depends hugely on how badly Juan feels like driving.

Three quick missions assessments this morning (solo, hard for each):

Trash Talk (with buzzard): ~$11k, took about 4-5 minutes
Extradition (with buzzard - I started in town and had to fly to Zancudo): ~$11k, took 5-6 mins
Out of Court Settlement: ~$9k, took about 4 minutes

Considering Extradition and Trash Talk were both $15k missions and Out of Court Settlement paid $6,750 before, the way the payouts have moved closer together is a good thing. Shame I haven't found a way of getting $15k+ for 4-5 mins' work yet.

Oh, I also found there's a new helmet, a Biggles-style aviator leather one. Looks great with the hipster scarves.

Took a while but we got there..

On the second or third time, when we were at the hangar and someone's buzzard blew up the coke, I think you could have heard me from the next house along!

Am really enjoying the money shift, there are a lot more interesting missions that pay out as much as RR now.

[AlleyCat]

Defender is a good mission for payout, its only a 2 player one though, but its dead easy and doesnt take that long (didnt time it) I think me and Jim got 19.5k for that one. Landing gear is also quite good on payout.

[Jobbo]

Defender sounds good - you can't do that quicker. I suspect Holed Up: Burton is also quite good now.

Don't know if you saw the pics I took of your landing....

[Engineerino]

Holed up is definitely better now that the AI driver gets out of his car at martins and doesn't spend half an hour trying to trigger the finish point in his car.

[scarble]

Still drives slow, crashes lots and gets confused a bit and tries to do a 3 point turn then a donut before getting out though. Bizarre.

That RP figure for High Priority Case looks like a typo.

Some very useful info on this page on the GTA forums: http://gtaforums.com/topic/614195-job-reward-datab...

[scarble]

doh, will have to confirm that one.
what they say there makes a lot of sense, could be some jobs are scaled differently to others but Titan at 5 minutes something earns more than 4 minutes something. So we'll have to time and maybe wait 10 seconds at the end of a job to get an extra minute
Nearly 2k extra for letting it tick over to another minute?

That's good info for when no-one else is about or have difficulty connecting to games, has mixed up with coke gone since the update I haven't seen any times or payout for that, always found that a good earner solo with a buzzard and very quick too.

[djdestiny]

I just did MUWC, it appeared on the selection screen after doing another mission, so its still on there.
I can't remember what it earnt though, somewhere around 10-15k IIRC

[Jobbo]

We did a crew Mixed Up With Coke the other night - that earnt well under $10k (it was done fairly quickly, but took more than 2 minutes). Not up to the old standard, anyway; Trash Talk is preferable.

I might start missions deliberately from the wrong end of the map in future so the time taken to get to the action increases the payout.

[scarble]

so, is there a cap or can you spend an hour on a mission and get paid accordingly and is that more efficient than playing repeated missions or does the base payout make up for the time waiting for s**t to load/being forced to do s**t paying missions?
Might give it a try, maybe I'll do a mission and leave it run while I eat.

[Jobbo]

I'm pretty sure the cap is around $25-30k which you hit after 10 minutes; it probably varies depending on the base payout for the mission.

[djdestiny]

Im on for an hour or so now if anyone sends a request I'll join some missions. I desperately need to get some cash built up!
