Alex123 Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 (edited) I am getting this game later today and was wondering what the best way to make money early on in the game.

Can't wait to play!!! *Please try to limit spoilers This article should help too: http://www.gamefront.com/grand-theft-auto-5-how-to-earn-spend-200-million-dollars/ And for the assassination missions, invest in the following companies beforehand: The Hotel Assassination - BetaPharmasuticals The Multi Target Assassination - Debonaire - Stock symbol is DEB The Vice Assassination - iFruit Construction Assassination - Gold Coast Development - Stock symbol is GCD Edited September 20, 2013 by Alex123 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iBuzz7S Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 A tip? How about getting the game and just playing it to see how things work out? You can make a LOT of money through missions and the whole stock exchange thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JuSt BLaZe Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 A tip? How about getting the game and just playing it to see how things work out? You can make a LOT of money through missions Not in the beginning, you are getting shitty payment! ...and the whole stock exchange thing. That is only if you already got some good amount of cash to spend obviously. Won't do much if you start with 200 bucks right!? As for me I started robbing stores, you can get easily 200-500 $, not really much but still though. So far I'm still trying to figure out how to get the real cash from the armored bank trucks. They say to shoot the middle of the rear doors but didn't happen much or blow them up, didn't work either! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got a little blue dot on my map earlier (like in RDR) which was an armored truck to steal, found it impossible to open the back doors so I just crashed it into every wall I could find for 20 minutes. Got 5k from the back and a wanted level after it blew up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They say to shoot the middle of the rear doors but didn't happen much or blow them up, didn't work either! i fired like 5-10 shots from a pistol at the back doors of the truck. they opened and a suitcase dropped on the street. unfortunately i did not notice how much money i got, as there were cops all over the place :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpinelesS Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 as Franklin I rescued a guys bike twice in random encounters (once a BMX, once a motor bike) and then I got an email from the guy thanking me and giving me $100,000 in shares in his company (animalARK) Sold em and made a nice little profit. I also found an armored car that had the driver walking to the car with a briefcase in his hand, killed him and took it for an easy 5k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maka Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Play the game until you do a longer mission, and the payout will be substantial. This will happen about 5-6 hours in. $500 will seem pointless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson Ridley Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 (edited) If you need a tip on how to open the back doors of the trucks, just drive it into the water. The doors come open and the money drops to the ocean floor. Pick it up and get to shore. Edited September 17, 2013 by Crimson Ridley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crimson Ridley Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 How.... how did you find this out... I fucked up. I tried to escape the police, jumped a railing and didn't realise it wasn't ground below me. As soon as I hit the water, the doors came open.

It was a while after returning the guys bikes, I doubt it had anything to do with it, but the email popped after I road the roller coaster and the ferris wheel on the pier...

DaveBodom Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Lester usually tells you who to invest in when he gives mission briefings, i put 200k into one of them and came out with around 350k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nevander Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 (edited) Does this game use realistic product/service costs? For example, does a haircut cost anywhere from $7 to ~$25 (depending on style and type of shop or salon) or do they cost the 'make believe' costs that a lot of games do where a haircut (depending on style) costs hundreds of dollars? I hope it's the former. Would increase the immersion quite a bit. Edited September 18, 2013 by Nevander Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a big deal but was kinda hoping they made the money system realistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveBodom Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Oops, yea I meant the former hah. Dang. Not a big deal but was kinda hoping they made the money system realistic. A guy i lived with at uni once paid around £60 (noone knows why or what he was thinking) for a styled haircut, so it could be a bit realistic depending on what it is haha. By the time i cashed in and sold my shares from the assassination missions i made a profit of around $600,000, so its well worth looking into doing those as theyre relatively early and not all that time consuming. Currently have $1.2m so might start buying some properties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
