Repo Missions Guide - (Until the 15th of May) Quick RP & Money! (30k+$ and 6k+RP per game)

[ColdNhungry]

(Note: This is a temporary guide aimed at grinding the Repo missions (until the event is over May 15th). Check the news feed on Rockstar's website for any additional prizes. This may be changed into a “basic” Repo Mission guide afterwards. I can’t create an official one atm, so bookmark if it interests you.)

---------------------------------------------------------------------

This is for players looking to grind money and RP. With 4 players you will make 30,000$+ and 6000+ RP in about 5 minutes per mission, while the bonus event is ongoing (lower than 4 players will net you about 10-30% less). This is also written with beginners in mind and those who might not have the benefits of armored vehicles yet. It's a good place to start leveling if you want to do online missions, and is also useful for players at any level who might not have played them yet.

You can do these solo, but the rewards are slightly higher and can be done much faster if you have at least 2 players. For example: some of these missions spawn 2 target vehicles, so it will take twice as long to deliver them if playing alone.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

What you need: Any basic weapon is enough, along with any armor you can currently buy (optional, but it helps a lot, always purchase if possible). Owning a vehicle helps, since it will spawn next to you when the mission begins, otherwise you might have to run around trying to steal one.

There are currently 8 Repo missions. We are going for speed here, so the 3 you want to aim for are: Simeonomics, Blow Up IV and Under The Hammer. Sasquashed can be a decent alternative if the others aren’t available. The other Repo missions not only take more time, but have more chances to fail as well (explained in the second half). You can access these missions under: Online>Jobs>Play Job>Rockstar Created>Missions>Repo. Always choose Hard difficulty for the extra money and RP, if you are the host.


Here are the preferred strategies (from easiest to hardest):

Repo - Simeonomics:

Summary: There are minimum 2 vehicles that spawn, so 2 players are needed. Make your way to the airport, enter the rear of the cargo plane, steal the vehicles and bring them back to Simeon’s dealership.

Strategy:
1. Whoever enters the airport first will trigger a 3 star wanted level for everyone. Once you enter the airport yourself, quickly make your way to the cargo plane.
2. Straight into the vehicles and back to the dealership. You can hide under the nearby bridge, to help avoid the helicopters, and be close-by for a quick turn-in.


Repo - Blow Up IV:

Summary: You have to make your way to a warehouse, blow up the vehicles inside then exit the building. Once outside, you will have to kill enemies that arrive in vehicles and on foot. After you have killed enough (about 20 enemies), you will be prompted to leave the area.

Strategy:
1. When you arrive at the warehouse, park your vehicle to the left (facing the building), then go towards the entrance on foot, rather than triggering the cutscene by driving right up to the door. This will make for an easier getaway later.
2. Once inside the warehouse, destroy all the vehicles on the first floor then go to the basement and destroy the last 4 vehicles. (when you get explosives, this will be much faster. Throwing grenades is a good way to destroy them).
3. After you exit the building, move towards the right, find cover, and begin taking out the enemies.
4. Once you have killed enough, you will be instructed to leave the area (keep an eye on the objective as it changes). Do this as fast as you can.


Repo - Under The Hammer:

Summary: There are minimum 2 vehicles that spawn, so 2 players are needed. You have to make your way to the police station and steal the target vehicles in the parking lot. It is guarded by about 12 cops (more will show up the longer you take). Once you hop into the vehicles, exit the station and drive them straight to the docks.

Strategy:
1. When you approach the entrance of the police station, don't rush inside (unless you're in an armored vehicle). Rather, you want to slowly move in while taking out the cops and make your way towards the vehicles.
2. Once inside the target vehicles, exit the police station ASAP.
3. Go straight to the docks. This is important, don't worry about the wanted level, you can easily lose the cops inside the dock area (destination).
4. Park the car in the designated spot once you've lost them.


--------------------------------------------------------------------

That pretty much sums up the strat for those 3 missions. But why ignore the other 5 missions you ask? Because:


Repo - Sasquashed: This is a decent alternative if you can't vote for the first 3 missions. It's pretty straight forward. Make your way to the arena, kill the security guards, and hop into the monster trucks. After that, you are basically immune, and only have to destroy the target vehicles on the map. There are 2 rounds, destroy the first wave, then destroy the second, and then bring the monster trucks to the docks like in previous missions. The only downside is that you can fail if a truck is destroyed (aka, someone drives it into water...) and they are overall pretty clunky when driving, possibly leading to more wasted time, as you make your way around the map. Regardless, it takes longer than the first 3 preferred missions.

Repo - Burn Rate: This one has a few things that can ruin the mission. First of all, if anyone arrives to the docks before the firetrucks do (if they drive there in their own vehicles), the game will kill them if they enter the zone (it only gives you a measly 5 seconds to exit the zone before it kills you). Second, if the contact dies (one of your allied npcs at the docks) you will fail. If the firetrucks are destroyed you fail (can be destroyed quickly by enemy molotovs). Last, I had a situation where the remaining enemy was hiding somewhere in the docks, but would not show up on the map, so we couldn’t end it (searched for a few minutes). If you can avoid these things, it’s pretty straight forward. Prioritize killing the enemies so they don’t kill the contact, and extinguish the fires. Don’t get too close to the enemies while in the firetrucks or they will throw molotovs at you.

Repo - Do you Even Lift?: Players not only have to find the right helicopters (Cargobobs), but have to airlift the vehicles to the target location. A few ways to fail, and it can take longer than other missions depending on how good players can fly and airlift vehicles properly.

Repo - GTA Today II: This one has 2 rounds. Bring the first round of vehicles to the docks, then you get a second round of vehicles to bring. If anyone leaves, you have to bring your 2nd vehicle and then their 2nd vehicle to the docks as well. Example: 4 players at the start, 1 vehicle per player. One player decides to leave, his vehicle remains. You have to bring theirs as well, and then repeat the same process for a second round. The game will still spawn 4 vehicles even though you might end up with 3 or less players for the second round. You will then most likely run out of time.

Repo - RV Nearly There: This one can be straight forward, but rarely is. When you arrive at the location, the vehicle you need to escort is parked in the back of a bunch of RVs. Enemies will begin continuously spawning when someone enters the Brickade. Once the path is cleared, you can drive it out of the parking lot to its destination. The problem is, most people are uncoordinated, die while moving them around, or sometimes blow up all the RVs you need to move, in the process damaging the target vehicle down to 1/4 health. Then you have to smash your way through many exploded RVs and indestructible boxes, repeatedly until you're free and then drive the vehicle to the city. Even in the best of scenarios, it takes longer than the preferred missions.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Ideally, you will receive 30k (minimum) with 4 players, and about 6k or more RP per mission. If it goes smoothly, the first three preferred missions should take 5 minutes each tops once you know how to be efficient. Always prioritize those 3.

Maybe some useful info...

Blow Up IV: Don't drive up to the door with your (personal?) car but park it next to the building (left side if you're in front of the main door), exit the car, and then walk up to the door to enter the warehouse. This prevents your car from getting teleported away, and it can be useful if you have an armored or weaponized car.

Repo RV: Don't bother to fight the enemies. The enemies are endless spawners: no matter how many you kill they'll just keep coming. Also Pegasus is disabled in this mission so if you need backup make sure they grab a personal vehicle.


(edit): I removed my rant (obviously too late) because I was worried it might spark an offtopic discussion ;) Anyway, still got it out of my system :)

<small vent>

I especially despise the last mission because there's absolutely no game design there, only an endless stream of enemies and to make sure it's difficult enough they also disabled Pegasus. This mission is extremely easy though if you know how to drive, which only makes me dislike it even more because this means driving quickly and that will result in a much lower reward.

Also because the enemies magically disappear when you're near the showroom. Oh: and no matter how close you are to Sandy Shores you'll always start at the showroom so you'll always need to drive all the way over to the Senora desert; guess that's R*'s idea to make sure you'll get at least some kind of reward out of this mess....
</vent>

Yeah, I'll change the part about parking your vehicle off the side, and put it at the beginning. I usually arrive first, so I park mine to the left near the back in the alley. Just hop in and drive towards the airport for gg.

And about the vent, I feel you. They spawn out of nowhere continuously until you reach the city. But that's even if you have enough vehicle hp to get there after people just blow everything up at the start.. -.-

Enjoy while it lasts!

LOL, Do not rush inside? Need 2 players? That right there just showed me this "guide" is worthless. Sorry, but that mission can be beat in 5 mins. Solo, with rushing inside...

On Hard.

Dont rush inside: If you're new to the game (new-player-friendly structure), most people die if they rush in. If you run out of lives, guess what, you have to bring their vehivles to the docks too! They are still getting used to the controls, fumble around a lot and die quickly while trying to shoot the cops, and don't have Kurumas.
Need 2 players: If you want the mission to take twice as long, yup. You have to bring 2 vehicles yourself when playing solo. Are you saying you can drive 2 cars at once?
This mission can be beat in 5 min: That's the strategy as mentioned. Once you know what to do, 5 min. tops per mission.
On Hard: Always choose hard.

There we go, I underligned 5 min. per mission in the second dang sentence, happy?

Why so hostile?

I like how you wrote down the "how-to". Don't get me wrong, I appreciate the work you put into this.

Anyways, It's "under the hammer" That I'm talking about. You can drive in with a karuma, Park onto or shoot the 2 in front of the garage door, shoot the one inside the door, hop out, drive away. Keep driving till dock side, park behind dock buildings(I hop out to hide from heli). Turn car in. Return and do same with second except don;t stop to shoot anything. The longer you wait/are delayed the more show up.

5 mins vs 30+ minutes.

You don't even need a karuma. My first time I did it in a Jester Race car...

Karuma is necessary for RV there yet though.

Indeed, they start showing up the longer you take. The idea is to reduce the amount of time you are inside, which is by killing the 12 or so cops as you move in (can easily be done with a pistol if your aim is good. Headshots gg.)

If you want to be specific, there is 1 cop directly outside, then 2 cops inside towards the left. Drive inside the lot, and to your immediate right there are 2 more cops. 50 feet directly behind them are 2 more next to one of the vehicles. Drive halfway inside and 3 are next to the garage where the second vehicle is. Keep going and 3 more are next to the 3rd and last vehicle.

This becomes clockwork after 1 or 2 tries if you fail. Once you know where they are, you can "rush" inside while killing them. The idea here is to tell new players to not rush inside until they know where the cops are. They might not have Kurumas, let alone know what to do if the driver rushes into the station.

If you don't rush in and spend 10 seconds killing the cops slowly, there is a better chance not to die, and therefore not have to return to the station and drive the remaining vehicles to the docks because your teammates have died rushing inside. 10 seconds or so > than dying and spending a few more minutes returning to the station.

Let's go boys and gals. Easy farm. Do it for fourfoxlake. That's right, I'm using you for promotion (shameful bump), bro.

Both me and fourfoxlake will bring you to glory!

Doing these missions while jamming to the Vice City soundtrack! Long live 80's music! *hips* <3

Don't push me cuz I'm close to the edge, I'm trying not to lose my head.

It's like a jungle sometimes, makes me wonder how I keep from going under.

[iMoveFasterAlone]

The two last/newest jobs are ok. Did them with randoms.

[Torque]

Yea nice guide...but now try to explain to randoms that rush and die in 5 seconds

[in]

in RV mission you get endless wave of enemies only after someone gets inside brickade. until then you get only 7 enemies waiting around in a lot and only 2 more canis arrive after someone enters random rv to move it out of way. so simply don't get inside brickade, move 3 vehicles blocking straight path while shooting few enemies and that's it.

But there is always a guy that continously rams the brickade....
Can you use cargobob?

just tried it and you actually can. only need cbb in hangar, cause pegasus doesn't work. brickade is really heavy though and it takes time to gain height. it';s better to just drive over grassy areas to avoid dmg, ofc won't save from randoms who straight forward collect it.

[ColdNhungry]

Hum, good thinking with the cargobob actually, that's an interesting strategy! I'll have to try that in a bit for fun. But yeah I'm guessing it might be difficult to arrive there before the other players do and start causing a ruckus.
