Special Cargo sale missions

[Egg-Roll]

I bought the large warehouse at 50% off managed to get a full inventory.

When it came to selling I got the sell mission of low flying in a damn Titan...
It was night time and I didn't see a crane, you can guess what happened...

Are all cargo missions stupid planes low flying now? Because next to 9 cargo sales, rare cargo + 1 10 cargo mission, my full inv missions have been low flying police bs, and every one I've fail at(tree, crane). I did have a friend for this one.

This is the first time I've done a mission in a Titan the Cuban low flying was a pain in the butt and on the last delivery I didn't see a tree. Maybe my pain came early saving our time this time. I also told them I didn't care about failing this mission as it was the first time and had no idea what the game would throw at us.

So a few questions.

1: Have buying events (Hell it seems even car missions too) become harder? I used to fill up my small one in no time, now it seems more of a grind.
2: While I don't want to do this would R* refund me the in game cash for the large warehouse. Because even double cash 50% off it feels over priced.
3: If I break the low flying BS what actually happens? Obviously the cops would come but could 1 friend in a Buzzard be capable of fending off them?
4: Is it worth trying to do it again or just let it rot like my bunker? I can deliver 2 trucks muliple stops on my own.
5: WTF where they thinking asking a Titan to fly low in a majour city?
6: Why did I just get kicked being in steams overlay... I've not been idling for 13-15 minutes.

1. No, there's a lot of different missions that occur randomly and sometimes when you have bad luck you might have a few ♥♥♥♥♥♥ ones after one another.
2. Cargo warehouses are actually not the best method to grind money but is worth with a 50% off bought warehouse and 2x sale reward.
3. The drop - off points will disappear from your radar and you won't be able to drop crates till you lost the cops.
4. It is worth to try it again but you might need to refill your warehouse a bit because whenever you fail a sale mission, some of the cargo gets destroyed and the rest gets brought back to the warehouse (can't exactly tell how much is getting destroyed, depends on mission, how many vehicles etc.
5. You really don't need to fly that low! It shows in your radar and also gives you an acoustical warning when you fly too high with more than enough time to lose altitude before you get a wanted level. Just try it out. Also starting a mission at daytime might help ya.
6. I have no idea, shouldn't really be the case, maybe you just underestimated the time needed to create this post.

P.S.: don't let your bunker rot - it's a good source for passive income especially with the two upgrades!

Hope I could help! Any more questions about special cargo feel free to ask.

I have been grinding out CEO crates all day long and not once have I gotten the Titan (now that I said that it will be my next plane) Although I do not have the large warehouse. Which might make a difference. I have had the cuban 3x, the big truck 4x and the tug 2x (made close to 2 mil just today)

To answer your question about the cops and the buzzard. The answer is yes. I escort a crew member that way. The only thing is, while under cop * you might not be able to drop the package. Best is learn to fly low. Steal a titan or borrow one and practice.

Small warehouse does not get the titan at all. I have a medium (Which as Titan listed as one of the planes) and a small warehouse. I find that is plenty to keep my busy.

I find that they are not anymore diffult then before.

Worth it I feel. I get 1 crate at a time and sell when I have 4. (I can already see the eye rolling on that) That way if I lose it, I am not out much. Which if I do lose it, because I have a habit and trying to break it. (on hitting the F key instead of the G key, I hate the F key being so close to the G key)

You talk about your bunker. "Is it worth trying to do it again or just let it rot like my bunker?" Are you not working your bunker? They are easy once you get the hang of what is expected. Beat going garbage trucks or post op truck anyday.

Now if you are really ready for a major pain in the A$$. Try the hanger sell/buy mission. I totally gave up on those. For the headache that it gives me, the payout is crap. Ron can just got to hell if he expects me to do another mission. I will pay full price for any locked aircraft then to do steal missions to unlock them.

But hang in there for the CEO crates & I/E. They are so easy compaired to anythng else in game. At least this is how I feel. Setting on a warehouse full of cars, hoping that R* will do something special on saling of those.

How is your stats on flying. That does matter. Makes flying and handling easier if your stats are max out.

Imo, special cargo even on double money doesn't seem worth it. Import and export with the top range car trick, gunrunning, and bikers businesses seem to be way more profitable.

Okay it takes about 8 hours for a bunker to get full that is what about 1 million. If you steal your supplies will take longer if you buy your supplies at 75,000 a pop and it takes what about 4 to full it up? Not sure. I sell when I have 140,000 and that is what 75,000 gets me I make 210,000 selling outside my area. That take 2 hours. so 210,000-75,000=135,000. If I souce 1 crate at a time that is 2,000, 2 is 6,000 or 3 is 18,000.

During that same amount of time with multi warehouse. I can source and sell 12 crates an hour if I do them 1 at a time for in 2 hours I can source and sell 24 crates and make after buying the crates. 372,000- 48,000=324,000. In the same time frame. Yes I am busy for those 2 hours getting crates. But I figured on an average of 5 min most of the time I can get a crate in less than 5 min. I usually have to wait for both of my warehouses cool down timer to get another crate. I currently have 2 crate warehouse, thinking of getting another one. Sell missions usually take me 10 min the most and that is with the slow tug boat. Airplanes is about 5 min and there is no cooldown timer when you source to sell. So I can get my last crate and sell it.

Thanks for the replies guys.

My flying is 100/100, reason for the night time flying was mostly due to bad in game timing and my friend having guests over any minute.

I also read on reddit right after posting this that if you unplug before the fail mission notification you don't lose all your stock, I'm wondering does that still work? As the titan sat on the crane for a good 2 minutes before it blew up and failed.

Reason for not using my bunker was due to losing half my load (600K) when imo I shouldn't have... So I now research (it only takes 2 75K non upgraded per research, which makes it not worth while to steal the supplies less 4 ppl), I was going to use the 4.4M to buy a Buzzard and upgrade my Bunker.

I personally love the vehicle missions and Rons fly missions, next to the protect titan one, and the fly under bridges one...

To answer pscLLL #5 answer, It was how I took off I nearly collided with a building within the airport already, I did almost sucessfully do one mission in a Cuban but a stupid tree in the mountains saw to it I failed lol... This time when I saw low flying I checked the closest drop off point and went to it. I never looked at the mini map sadly, next time I will instead of just listening and looking at the notifcation which lead to me assuming the safest way was under the bridge, which I have done in other planes in the past.

I've figured in worst case 3 crates I can do about every 15 minutes with cool down which with double payout is about 160K/hr vs about 180K doing cars(75K profit) plus VIP missions. Cargo missions only make sense in large batches where they double again at full warehouse. sadly double $ seems to be ending this weekend enforcing the "waste of money"... I'll throw the odd cargo in it when bored in hopes of another double $ event.

I do have a fair amount of ingame properties, basically no purchased cars (just a few Panto and a 6x6 Dub, Kurama etc), my MC is sitting doing nothing.
