Pay phone hits nerf

I just did 2 missions with bonus and the total payment is only 45k.

And doing some research that is the new normal. Cooldown is cut to 10mins.

Possible it's a "bug", they've had this few times in the past already and had to readjust value via tunables.

Sadly it's not. It's on reddit and twitter.

Another money making tool taken down. Running two missions plus double the time to get same payment as before is not cool. Going to do those way much less now. Even Agency contracts pays more or the same and you can increase your passive money making safe at the same time. Edit. also Agency contracts cool down is only 5 mins. Payphone hits are pretty much useless now.

What does it being on reddit or twitter change? It's just people noticing a difference as well. Again, it happened few times already, tunables changed today for weekly event, so probably some dude accidentally changed value to default. Wait for casual readjustment and that's it.

I hope you are right.

Ok actually even Tez posted about it, so this might be legit. Would be a weird change out of the blue.

I don't see why anybody would like this change? Maybe players who ONLY own Agency and really likes to grind phone hits, like 3 times in an hour.

Honestly, I am not even surprised anymore. R* added a 48min cooldown on the payphone hits, and now they have decreased the price you get for completing it. Just like Cayo Perico... But, where there is a will, there is a way. The players will find ways to workaround R*'s BS.

Not a bug.

Changes have been made to Payphone Hits according to community member @PLTytus. The cooldown is now 10 minutes, down from 48 minutes. The kill method bonus was $70,000 but has been reduced to $30k and the kill method bonus for participant was $30k but is now $10k.

I guess the idea, is if you run it in the same time, youre looking at 120k+ for mildly paying attention to it, however, i do agree with this.

This to me is a terrible change. I prefered the 80k hourly. I am not going to run payphones 3-4 times an hour, its just not happening. I might do 3-4 hits a day prior to this, if i remembered.
