As a complete newbie to this, which are the Contact Missions?

I was playing last night, but all I found were a mission for Lamar (the first one, which is incredibly annoying) and some other mulitplayer ones (group deathmatch or something?)

In the end I resorted to my usual of doing races for entertainment, which is a decent money-spinner but hardly £500k.

Also, how do you know who the PH Crew members are? I was in a game with some, but have no idea who they were!
Tried to send you a friend request but apparently I can't because of privacy settings?

Add me instead - challenger001. I've spent enough time/wasted enough of my life on this game that I think I can run you through everything that you need to know about the system. smile Hit me up if you see me online, and I'll do what I can to make sense of this mess.

Apparently the new sports classic thing has by far and away the highest top speed of any car in the game. They’ll probably nerf it at some point. See you lot later if you’re on.
Really?! Mine doesn't seem that fast
It's broken, it's got a similar suspension glitch to the one that the RE7B had when it launched I think.

It'll be fixed at some point.

Awesome - thank you! I'll figure out how to say hi next time I'm back online! I think I just need to start working on the missions rather than racing everywhere and I'll be sorted.

As joyrider said you might not be able to start the missions due to your low level.

You start any 'activity' like a race, mission, deathmatch etc by going options > online > start job > rockstar created > missions (or whatever). For the double pay out ones just select the mission and on the right the little picture has x2 $ and x2 RP in the top right corner.

Be aware that some missions require more than 1 player - it says this on the right when in the menu.

You can throw me a friend request too if you like (Crafty77). I'm a million bucks up since Tuesday, wondering if I can do 3m by Monday!

Great - thanks Crafty.

I'd figured out races by driving to the races on the map, but wasn't sure about the Missions. I'm Level 10, but don't know what level I need to get to.

Is it best to just go through the Lamar missions or start doing deathmatch etc?

The Lamar missions can be a bit tricky, especially the last one. From memory they won't pay that much, so I'd stick to the Lester contact missions until Tuesday ! Probably best to get one of us to run through the Larmar missions with you if you want to do them at some point.

I forget exactly how to do it, but you can make the missions appear on the map so you can drive to them, they did used to be there but there was so much stuff appearing it was a mess, so they switched some stuff off. But you can get to everything through the online > start job menu.

Best thing to do is join Crafty, or myself (Joyrider1) or any of the other crew members to do the double money/RP missions this week - you’ll soon level up and get plenty of cash, plus you’ll get a really good understanding of the game whilst doing so...I should be on later so don’t mind hosting some missions....Don’t bother with deathmatches unless you enjoy doing them, they’re a tiny part of this game

Just to make it more helpful, here's another take - deathmatches can be very good at teaching you weapon use, awareness and general hiding techniques, but as long as you're playing Rockstar made deathmatches (not this parkour nonsense you probably get lots of invites to) with custom weapons off so you're on a level field.

For the termally short of cash, an "easy" way to make $100,000,000

OK so it will take you 45 days to complete without playing on your PS4 hehe

And yes the guy in the video talks in a way that makes Broughy1322547942220 sound like Morgan Freeman.

Has the crew colour changed again? It seems to have gone turquoise rather than pea(ish) green...

Hey Tom, glad we finally got the system to work - sorry if I was a little awkward after all that, I usually am bad without a mike on the other end (people here can verify that). But if we're on, do feel free to send a friend invite and get chatting - looks like you have that figured out at least!

Ah was going to message you this morning; I was busy shouting at the dog to come inside and stop farting last night, probably don't need to hear that on a mic.

Thanks Challenger; will do!

Further proof that Saudis are GTA players



Also for those of you fed up of the tryhards in GTA, this guy turns getting back at them into an art form.
