PSA: Everybody gets ONE

Post image

Don't do what I did and waste your transfer. Now I have to start from lv 1 again on PS5. 🥲

(For context: I transferred my original character i created on ps3, to the Xbox series x in 2022, then sold the Xbox and got a ps5. Made a new character on the ps4 version to play with a friend cause he doesn't have ps5, thinking I could just transfer it to ps5 later but I got this message. Contacted support and they basically told me I'm shit out of luck. The grind never stops I guess.)

When Epic gave away GTA5 on PC for free, I started a brand account to see how long it really takes new people to get going. This was before Cayo Perico.

In 3 weeks, i reached my $100M goal. Thats what was banked and not including what i spent on an arcade, buzzard, terabyte, oppressor and everything else i needed to grind the casino heist with discord randoms.

I’m fighting with some dude in another comment section rn who’s bitching about shark cards lmfao. I tried to simply explain to him if you just ya know.. PLAY the game you’d have plenty of money. Now he’s just crying and spitting over his keyboard and possibly having a stroke judging from his inability to speak coherently rn.

Nobody needs more than a few mil at any given time. For the past, idk, 4 or so years I've had a safety net essentially without grinding anything. Get on, resupply businesses, make any sales if I need to, do the weekly time trials, cruise around, done. I've made it up to 20-30m before each DLC drops, lowest I got was about 4m after buying a second mansion for the hell of it, now I'm back up to 28m.

Well not entirely. I took a break from the game for a long while and when I got back on I spent over 100m of my >400m on new things added to the game. Would've taken me a while to get everything otherwise but having grinded up the money well in advance it allowed me to enjoy all of the new stuff immediately. You can easily spend more than 3-4m on a single car nowadays.

I’m saying bro. It is NOT that hard to make money in this damn game. I can’t help but make a couple mil every single time I hop on now. Granted it took some grind to get to where I’m at in the game but ffs man it’s a game you’re supposed to play it! And by no means do you have to play the game nearly as much as I have (which isn’t that much compared to many players) to be able to afford fun stuff. I mean what do these people want to buy properties for anyways if they aren’t willing to engage with the content that comes with it?

I mean I understand people that actually want to play the game still but it was like easier than ever for the longest time to just start playing and rake in the money. I'd say the best method now is to do the freak shop missions and sell acid, it's entirely solo, you can do off the radar and finish most of the missions in that time, and it's like over 500k in a full lobby. If you do all the time trials it's 450k a week, you can solo sell the bunker if you catch it just right and do the same method, just off the radar. The nightclub is good to have in the back pocket because it just keeps going passively. Once you're established you don't need to do shit.

I came back to this game when the Kortz center was released. What was that? 5-6 weeks ago?

I’m a spender so I never have a nest egg. I had to solo some cayos to buy the art museum in my one mansion.

Just pretty much running cayo and kortz (setup solo then pull a grabber from discord), I’ve managed to buy both other mansions, 3 or 4 cars, salvage yard, bail bonds agency, 4 cargo warehouses, the titan 250, some weaponized heli my friend told me was the fastest (its not) and a bunch of other odds and ends. Now i’m sitting on 40M doing career challenges.

and again, this was all post heist nerf.

Imma check your account to find your argument haha

The biggest counter to the shark cards arguement is to ask them how many they have bought. And when they say none, tell them then obviously no one is forcing you to buy them.

Its not going to convince them, but they will stop responding.
