July 26th is the patch that's boosts all rewards and gives a bit more. The Criminal Enterprises will also introduce several changes to the game's economy, including permanent boosts to Race and Adversary Mode payouts, increased payouts for legacy Heists and The Doomsday Heist, bigger paydays for Bodyguards, Associates, and Motorcycle Club Members, and more. www.eurogamer.net/grand-theft-auto-onlines-latest-expansion-hits-way-too-close-to-reality

Anyone new should really hook up the amazon prime stuff, log in once a week and get free money in the hundreds of thousands (usually about 200k).
I made my money with the stealing and selling cars warehouse on the pc version, hassle free selling in servers with nobody else to bother me in my cargobob, hopefully the new patch let's that happen again.

I actually preferred it when the Prime bonus was free in-game items and enhanced discounts. I filled my garages and hangar with some crazy cheap vehicles, sometimes it would be 300k for things that were usually millions

Having read more on the Criminal Enterprise update, it does sound like more is changing across the board than I realised. Still no mention of new planes or helis though- I always preferred collecting those to the cars. They’d also need to expand the hangar to accommodate them though… mine’s full

Yeah, I might actually play it online a bit more since I won't be blown up just for being near a shitbike. Will make business runs more enjoyable. I assume they will just throw AI after you instead but at least that'll be normal cars with gangs shooting at you.

Yes, and you'll also forfeit the bonus cash you get from selling in a normal server - which can be quite substantial if it's full. I reckon over time I've made more from that bonus than I've lost from being blown up by Oppressors or Lazers - but it's certainly good to have the option.

...Will make business runs more enjoyable I'm still quitting out if I get the bin lorry sale mission from the motorcycle club- private sale or not!

Yes, I was wondering if it'll be a nerfed payout in non public lobbies. The bin lorry mission is the absolute worst. To be fair, most people I used to play with don't now or are on a different console so most sell missions are tedious or difficult to complete with one.

Solo Cayo Perico heists are being nerfed
Not sure I agree that it will “Encourage cooperation” - I don’t have a crew I know, and no-one likes doing heists with randoms, I’m not suddenly going to be back on Casino or Doomsday heists again. But if the other business sales are getting more generous that should offset less generous CP payouts.

First impressions of the update:
- The extra gunrunning and special cargo sell missions paid out $150k first time, which I think means they will be $50k normally. That’s fine but not great, roughly equivalent to VIP work (32k) or a mid-level vehicle sell. - No sign of “UPL” missions yet but I assume that’s the next heist, since there are new vehicles with a trade price for completing these missions - Most of the new vehicles are cars, except for one new helicopter which looks like it’s more suited to ferrying than combat - Based on the in-game email about bonus payments, they want you to complete all sell missions with a full roster of product in a private lobby. The first payout is 3x for each business

My Xbox save only has the Casino and Air Freight Cargo business, got 3m in cash so may get the sub for the Cayo Perico heist. Not having the Hydra plane is making the Air missions a lot longer than my pc save but I could make that back on the solo heist hopefully.

I’ve all but given up on Cayo Perico - I couldn’t get the hang of being stealthy in the compound, and kept getting killed on the way to the safe. Did manage it 3 or 4 times but I’d probably rather do a casino heist with randoms than a solo heist, even though the payouts are lower. Or alternatively, the Agency pay phone hits soon add up if you complete the bonus objective- that can be $170k in minutes with a fairly short cooldown.

I did it with a guide in a couple of hours, did most the prep and spent ages on recon, so not bad. I need it to get some essentials back, really missed not spawning a bike nearby with the motorcycle club so picked that up again.
The private servers make such a huge difference and happy to sit on the console version again.

I done that heist 3 times on the xbox and once on the pc over the weekend, the 2 stealth bits have stopped me getting the epic challenge for no deaths but I can get it all done in about 2 hours now, bought my Hydra and now working out what else I need.

I might have one last hurrah in the Online - I dropped off it around the time of the Los Santos Customs update because there weren’t any new air vehicles and standard, non weaponised cars have never appealed that much.
Anyone know the best way to earn cash quickly these days? I think Reddit said the acid van is the way to go, and I’ve got one, but can’t remember how it works. Also wondering if anyone’s tried the new Chop Shop business- it sounded like more of the same but at least I wouldn’t just be rotating between Nightclub, Warehouse and Motorcycle Club sales like the old days.

Last played it when the chop shop dropped and the missions looked like they could be a money spinner but there seemed to be far too much work for the payout so I bailed after getting about a third of a way through one.
Got tens of millions in the bank through the freebie Amazon, PS+ cash and past earnings so haven't really needed to make money fast for ages.
