FAQ/HELP 2024 version

[pseudo pebble]

This is a more up to date version of #1153408461661556796 . This is meant to help newer/returning players.

Q1: It's my first time playing GTA:Online, what should I do? After playing the tutorial, I recommend doing the first dose missions so you could get acid lab. After getting acid lab, do 10 fooligan missions by calling Dax and requesting work so you could upgrade the acid lab. You should make 300k every couple of hours if you're playing in invite only lobbies.
Q2: What is Career Builder and how do I know if I have it? Career Builder is a next-gen console exclusive pack. You get rewarded 4 million by starting the game/making a new character. It gives you options for what business you want to do. Everyone would say different things for "which one" you should get. But I personally think bunker and saving extra money so you could buy another business is worth it.
Q3: I got acid lab and the upgrades, now what? What most people recommend is saving up for the Kosatka then running Cayo heist back to back (no glitches). Cayo heist is one of the two heist in the game that you could do solo. The actual heist shouldn't take anymore than 10 minutes. Recommend watching TGG's video that goes more in depth about how to do the heist.
Q4: What's the difference between active and passive business? Active businesses requires you to do missions in order to make profit. Passive businesses doesn't require you to do anything besides restock and sell what you made.
Q5: What businesses should I get? Early game I would recommend Acid Lab, Bunker, and Kosatka. After you make a steady flow of income from both of these, I recommend getting agency. Agency is OP since you get access to Dr. Dre contracts which pay 1 million each time, security contracts which gives the safe more money each in-game day, and payphone hits. After you get money from agency and the other two businesses, get MC club and focus on coke, meth lab, and fake cash. Then after all of that, get warehouse and nightclub. Get everything prior (Bunker, Warehouse, MC) so you could get good enough stock for Nightclub.
Q6: What vehicles should I get? Depends on personal preference. Recommend for beginners the Armored Kuruma and Sparrow. After you make a lot of money, I recommend Raiju and Mk2.
Q7: Could I cross progress? You could transfer your progress from old console gen to newer console generations.
Q8: Air or land source/sell missions for hanger? Varies on personal preference. If you're not a fan of the mission that you are given, then restart it. And do land sell missions since you are always given 1 vehicle regardless of how much stock you have.
Q9: My business got shutdown, are my upgrades effected? No, they shouldn't be effected. Just do the setup mission again and everything should remain the same.
Q10: What does (insert business) do? Whatever you asked just watch a TGG video on it. He does a good job explaining the business and how to get started on it.

Q11: I’m low level but I already have a couple million, what should I spend it on? If you’re low level then I would recommend spending it on Agency and Acid lab. Agency is active and you could get money through a safe, security contracts, Dr Dre contract, and hitman jobs.. I recommend getting acid lab as well if you don’t already have. Then save up for Submarine so you could start the Cayo heist. It was nerfed back during september/october of 2023, but you could still make profit for around 1 hour of work. It’s even better if you do it with a friend or someone who’s willing to help.
Q12: Do I need to supply MC businesses in order for my NC to get stock? No, you only need to have the businesses active. If they're raided by the cops or you shut them down yourself, it won't accrue in the Nightclub anymore. You also DO NOT need to have supplies or any stock in your businesses itself for it to fill in your club, as they're separate on that matter.Q13: I'm new to playing GTA:0 on PC, should I be worried about the modders and IP grabbers? No. Most people won't go out of their way to dox, ddos, ip grab, etc. to a random person. If you're paranoid, just use a VPN but it won't guarantee that you're safe just in case there's a scenario where you do somehow get ddos. And about modders, most modders I've came across are chill or don't target you unless you're causing a problem. If they do mess with you, just play in an invite only session.
Q14: I'm a solo player, what businesses should I get? You should try to aim for everything mentioned in Q5. For solo players, you should aim for acid lab, nightclub (alongside everything needed for it), agency, autoshop, cluckin bell raid, and salvage yard. Salvage yard is ok, not the best but still decent profit for solo players.
Q15: Is Cayo Perico heist still good in 2024? Yes it is, it's not as profitable as before, but still pretty profitable. I highly encourage it doing with another person with 85% cut. You could get like 1.2 million at minimum for little to no effort work while duo. And preps shouldn't take more than 40 minutes to do, the heist final shouldn't take more than 11 minutes to do.
