The Chop Shop is an actual ♥♥♥♥♥♥ update

[Cliffford]

You have to spend at least 1.6 Million or so, or more than 2 Million if you want the business to be in the city.
You have to do multiple preparation missions, just to steal a single car, you might as well play diamond heist, and earn far more.
The win for a car is around 350K or almost 400K, which is absolutely pathethic for all the work you put into it. Plus, only you as CEO get that money, none of the friends that play with you get any of that money. A little 50K Bonus, when the whole thing is done, I think. And thats it. While with things like diamond heists, cayo perico, everyone gets a good cut that you can manually set.
And then there is the second thing, the car jacking and getting its parts. You are limited to 3 cars a WEEK?? 3 cars a day would probably be more suitable, but 3 whole cars a week? ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, what an offer. It takes absolute ages until you get your money back,and its super ♥♥♥♥ to do with friends.
All these preparation missions, just to steal a SINGLE car is also way too insane. Steal a chopper, weapons, infiltrate a Police station to get someone out of there, etc., all to just steal a single car..you can do diamon heist faster, you can get 3 cars in the old car warehouse, etc.
Generally the past few updates felt really ♥♥♥♥ and barely worth their time, or money investment, but this one is..actually ♥♥♥♥

I noticed that Yusuf and his bi friend now are cringe rainbow duo using same (smaller) SMG and golden cabrio from 2008. No edge, repeated jokes that tell nothing but how washed up Rockstar writing department is. Prolly cringe. Except the same for GTAVI or more

1) To be fair the setup missions are actually fast and very easy (well, i fell off the roof a few times but u cant really expect devs to play their game to realize how poor their designs can be)
2) I only sold the new turismo which was ~400 right? and it really felt quick and easy, but then it struck me omg only 3 cars a week and the 2 other cars are much cheaper..
3) then i went to test the tow truck - dam, i cant hook anything besides my target car, at least the truck is not on trashmaster level of performance (somehow mechanics of hooking the car felt worse than in singleplayer)

Summary: i probably gonna steal 1 most expensive car a week, do the tow missions till i get i get okay-ish passive income via safe and thats about it. Cop cars, drift tune and some crucial bugfixes is the best part of the update but not the business

Also there are various bugs present with the update -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ezsZRU917QU


Such small problems prove that GTA Online is maintained by a skeleton team and everyone is assigned to GTA VI. That one problem with the same ID for the lift in the autoshop and the salvage yard is hilarious.

The tow business would be vastly better if you could upgrade the tow truck

how so you literally make 1mil from this business like dre contract

The drifting is premium tier. Shame they stifled it to select cars. But that move was obvious.

but Dre you gotta wait a few minutes before you can start another.. 4hrs a day/night, you could make 3m running Dre..

For starters, I'm not sure if the cooldown is based on the weekly reset, or if it's based on 7 days from when you sold the particular car.. but I am going to assume it's based on our Thursday update for the sake of this example as that would allow a player to maximize their earning potential at anything 9 days long (Wednesday, the full 2nd week, and then the following Thursday)..

6 days of grinding Dre 3x a day for 4hrs per day: 18m
6 days consisting of 2 Scrap Yard rotations: 2m

9 days of grinding Dre 3x a day for 4 hrs per day: 27m
9 days consisting of 3 Scrap Yard rotations: 3m

at just 4 hrs a day, it's a 9:1 ratio.. if you can call it that because the reality is once you've completed the scrap yard rotations for the week, there's no point in putting in the time any more.. so until the next week, I guess it's back to doing Dre or Casino/Cayo heists.. maybe Auto Shop contracts..

eh, I actually enjoy the cutscenes and the missions get easier each time.. I'd rather do dre than setup and do cayo finale.. but when it comes to time invested in game, my heart is still with the Casino heist hands down.. it simply has the most variety and notoriety and is a fun heist when everyone can work together.

I've already more than broke even on Xbox Series S with both my main and alt and I'm close to breaking even on PS5 with my main.

It's alright imo, and definitely great that those who wanted cop cars can now get them. I might save up for the chop shop, if for no other reason than to have more semi-passive income and things to do in the invite-only world.

I mean, good or bad - like or dislike, the dedication that Rockstar puts into GTA Online is pretty impressive. There aren't many online games that get updated as consistently as GTA Online and for as long as GTA Online has gotten them. In fact, most online games are lucky to get big updates every two or three years, let alone twice year like GTA Online does. Not to mention, that that's been going on for the entirety of the 8 years that GTA V / Online has been on PC.
