Best tip i have is 'be good' at the game. If you stay in a matchmaking playlist and come first most of the time you will earn loads of money.

Also remember to sell a luxury SUV once every in- game day to Los Santos Customs for a nice profit.

Another easy way for money. Find a mission that gives 5 or 9k cash. Find a few oyhers that can communicate. After the mission hit like and R2 fast. It'll restart the mission. That or set to solo and easy. The meth truck delivery You can skip the group of csrs and last bike if you go off road And don't follow the yellow path. Aduct is even easier.

They need to fix this BS thing though, where you lose $2000 every time someone kills you. Even if you're not carrying money, it takes it out of your bank.

Then it spawns you nearby and same shit happens.

GarrusVakarian3848d ago

Don't play with randomers. Its best to play with a group of friends so you know you don't have to worry about being killed.

Donnieboi3848d ago

You lose $2000 everytime someone kills u in a REAL match? Or do u lose the money when in free roam? I love killing fools in free roam since there's so much space, but if they lose $2000 even if it's in the bank, then now I feel awful. I just wanna cause a rampage back & forth without any real consequence to the other player's [banked] money.

I keep hearing that it is roughly 5% of your total worth...thus if you have more money...you lose more money. I hate it too, but I guess that is the nature of playing online. My hope is that once the newness of the game wears off people will calm down a bit and just play the game. I got jumped on the second I came out of the tutorial. I was lucky as hell to escape with my life and my measly bit of money that I had made. However, it was a GREAT way to be introduced to what I could expect for later.

duli143848d ago

Best tip I have is don't put too much effort in to earning money and leveling up your character. Just lost my level 17 character and $200,000. From now on I'm just going to create a temporary character on my second account and just have fun doing deathmatches and causing mayhem with my friends. Hope rockstar sorts out this bug ASAP.

GarrusVakarian3848d ago (Edited 3848d ago )

Just lost mine too, but it's because i cant connect to the servers. As soon as i can, i imagine i will be able to see my character again. So best advice is NOT to make a new character because it will save over it. Sit tight and be patient and load up the online every now and again to see if you are re connected the the R* servers.

HammadTheBeast3848d ago

How did you get 200 k? I'm having a hard time maintaining 35 lol.

GarrusVakarian3848d ago (Edited 3848d ago )

Stay in matchmaking playlists, coming first is obviously where the big bucks are. I take a luxury SUV (usually the one which resembles a Hummer H2) every in game day to Los Santos Customs, those 2 things together have made me 155k over the past few days.

duli143848d ago (Edited 3848d ago )

What Lukas has already said. Also I try and avoid dying. Each death cost $2000 for me.

Has anyone lost huge amounts of money from dying in missions and death matches? Even if the money is in the bank.

xActionBasturdx3848d ago

Dude i just lost my lvl 28 character with roughly 300k...i had the 223k apt, a conquette and i just bought the cognescenti cabrio at like at 3am...only to wake up a few bours later for them to tell me to create another character. I really hope i can get all my stuff back or at least the money for it

Sadie21003848d ago

John Marston should've been a playable character!

orangechicken673848d ago

You can get him as a dad when making a character.

310dodo3848d ago

Dont care about your stats/money/character too much lol.

that would be my advice at the moment.
2 of my characters have now disappeared.
sucks because if this game ran smooth, it would be Epic beyond words.

Thar she blows! That be a whale!! Let's talk to them mateys!

phoenixwing26d ago

@disagrees
Didn't have a good rebuttal did you? We all know the select players are whales who waste thousands or hundreds of thousands on the games currency. You expect them to make the same kinds of demands as everyone else? Keep dreaming.

Inverno25d ago

Well that and most likely streamers who have helped harpoon all those whales lolz.

Why is this news? Is this supposed to be some sort of heads up to those involved?

Kombatologist32d ago

Why shouldn't this be news? If you play the game at all, you'd know this has been a problem for a while. Tell me, how is it fair for legit low-level players to be grieved by players using modded accounts with disposable amounts of cash? It's about time Rockstar did something about these losers.

BISHOP-BRASIL32d ago (Edited 32d ago )

Not that I really played it in forever, but the way I used to roll on online once I realize I had no interest in actually doing heists and micromanaging property and shit, the moment someone decided to pick a fight I'd just leave towards north, jump the fence of the army base, steal a jet and grief away... Pro tip: they can't really make you pay for other players cars when you have not one single penny to your name.

EDIT: Got carried away... Anyway, my point was, you can grief without money, this is not stopping it.

Kombatologist32d ago

@BISHOP-BRASIL

I get what you're trying to say, but it's a false equivalence. Anyone could jump the fence and grab a jet back in the day. The dynamic changed once R* started introducing militarized vehicles, such as flying motorcycles with homing rockets, a stealth helicopter, and most recently, a stealth jet. There's so many militarized vehicles now, you really have to keep up with the latest and greatest in order to defend yourself from that shit, which is really expensive to do. Sure, you could make the argument that Shark Cards give players the same advantage as a modded account. The thing is, they don't. Not even close. A modded account can have ANY amount of money, as well as ANY weapon and/or vehicle, even ones that aren't available in the game yet (as long as they're in the datafiles). Some of them even have glitched characters with invisible limbs/weapons. This is an unfair advantage to anyone who plays legitimately and nobody should have to risk getting their accounts permanently banned from stooping to the same level just to compete. Furthermore, making money is really easy to do now. Which begs the question: Why buy a modded account in the first place? I think the answer is obvious.

So this is news because a Twitter guy says so :)
