The Team - Heavy ones do, yes, and those are the ones the Germans are using.

i take it its going to be "serious" then if we're needing hard hats ??

... something obviously different to what they have so we can easily distinguish during the deathmatch...

I might be the heavy artillery guy, just reign grenades from the launcher down on them...

My 3 lap battle with Pansondowlington last night from the first race, which includes the one where Alex spun out on the first straight (not sure who's fault that was!)

Guys i have a question. In the new DLC, Does an 'associate' get the same pay when completing a delivery? or does this pay vary depending on size of shipment, players in lobby etc?
Selling crates? They basically get bugger all. It varies a bit, it seems, but I don't think you get more than about $10k.
Ive been looking at how to make money from the DLC.

Im thinking one ceo and 2 associates can secure a 3 crate job in 5-10 minutes depending on which one you get given. Selling crates is around the same.

3 crates buy at 18k and sell at 36. so you make 18K profit in 10-20 minutes. Your Associates make 10K on the sale and this could take between 10-20 minutes depending on your travel time and how quickly you can get your gear back to the warehouse, A well organised team could turn this around quite quickly.

Your associates get a wage all the time they are with you, I tihnk its 6K every 15 minutes plus this wage goes up for each delivery (but there is a limit)

So in an hour a CEO could make upto around 100K, An associate could make about 95K - This is very rough maths. So money wise its ok, but i have not calculated for cost of ammo/bullet proof vests/snacks you may use during these missions.

Doing VIP missions would be better, you can re-run something like Sightseeer get about 23K in under 15 minutes, then do one of the other ones while the mission is on cooldown.

Both of the above methods require a private lobby, which is acheivable by throttling your connection when switching lobbys (watch you tube in HD or something like that) and it will take a few attempts.


TL:DR Grinding CEO missions can make you good money, but there risk is greater. the variety of the missions makes it more fun than grinding VIP missions, which i think, earn you a little bit more cash over time.

I was trying to give you space to go down the middle, knowing I had Panson on my left so moved right, onto the dirt which obviously has less grip. Then there might have been contact between us to start me spinning, OR I come back left slightly and just plain lose the rear causing me to spin. Racing incident either way (unlike some of my dubious tussles with Joyrider...)

Update on the war front friendly against Germany, they've asked to postpone it a week, so I'll throw together something else for this Sunday. However, I do have a few updates.

  • The Deathmatch that the Germans want to use is this one: http://rsg.ms/a9f8d52 If the link doesn't work, try searching for 'Call of Paintball' on Social Club. Might be worth practicing it.
  • Our on-road race will be 'Muscle In' (R* Made)
  • Our deathmatch will be 'Triphaisic' (R* Verified)
  • Still need to choose a good off-road race, I think AJGT will be too long. What was that good one that went back and forth over the Zancudo river?
  • The tie-breaker will be 'Battle of Los Santos LTS' (R* Made)
  • I'm going to get the Germans to wear suits rather than poncy battle gear.
Most importantly of all, even though it's a 6v6 playlist, I'd like to do a 'Best of British' demonstration for them once they get into our session, so we're going to need a collection of British vehicles. I reckon we need the following:

  • A McLaren P1 (Progen T20) in McLaren Orange (Bright Orange in LSC) or Volcano Orange (Lava Red in LSC)
  • An Aston Martin DBR9 (Dewbauchee Massacro Racecar) in British Racing Green (Racing Green in LSC)
  • An Aston Martin DB5 (Dewbauchee JB700) in Silver
  • A Range Rover Sport (Gallivanter Baller)
  • A Jaguar XJ (Ocelot Jackal)
  • A Rolls-Royce Phantom/Wraith (Enus Super Diamond/Windsor)
  • A Bentley Continental (Enus Cognoscenti)
  • A Bentley Bentayga (Enus Huntley S)
  • 3x Italian Job Minis (Weeny Issis in Red, White and Blue)
And maybe if anyone has one, a Marshall with the UK flag. I have the Shamal so I can get us an Air Herler livery one, but if anyone has any of the above vehicles, please do post down so we can arrange the performance.

That's locked to Muscle - isn't that going to favour the Sabre Turbo Custom somewhat? Don't mind the track, but I wasn't sure if that's the right class to use.

For the vehicles, I already own quite a few but the rarer ones are probably the Super Diamond, Huntley S and Issi. Think my Issi is already red, white and blue (primary, secondary and wheels/plate), and we may not have enough people to get all those vehicles out.

I have the Super Diamond and the JB700 ... but won't be around next weekend for FOS reasons...

Not sure Muscle in is a good choice, it can be a bit annoying especially with the crossover!
But if that is what people have decided then thats ok with me.

One of my races goes back and forth over the river, but its only a point to point, so wouldn't take that long.
Ideally Id of thought races with a few laps would be better?
Any way, its this one:
https://socialclub.rockstargames.com/games/gtav/ps...

Car wise, Ive got these:
T20, currently white, but Ive recently be reading a thread showing how to get the best P1 orange, so could change it if needed
Baller, currently blue
Felon in BRG, isn't that a closer match to an XJ than a Jackal?
Windsor coupe in light grey/blue

Muscle In was my choice, I just decided on it myself! People seemed to like the idea of a muscle car race so that's what I went with but I can change it if need be. And arguably there's 'only one choice' for all classes really, isn't there? The other idea was Sports Classics but then there's the advantage to the Stirling. And if the concern is that the Germans don't have the available vehicles, we should be doing stock car races but you guys always throw a hissy fit that you don't get to use 'your' vehicles.

And Mud Bog Racing could work. I found the one I was after - it was Lee Enfield's 'A Rock and a Hard Place' but I'll give both races a go and see which one I think works better.

Think that's pretty blatantly a Maserati Quattroporte with a Jag grille - not sufficiently British.

Yeah I suppose it is, I just can't bring myself to get a Jackal even though I really like them, it annoys me too much that you can't even lower the suspension!
