GTA Online Beginners Guide 2021

A guide to starting off in GTA Online and working your way up.

Phase 1

So, you've spawned into GTA Online for the first time. The first thing you want to do is to open up these links and complete those missions (including the weapon challenges) as this will get you $500,000. While you do these missions, keep an eye out for a call from Lester, as you need to take that call for the next phase.

Phase 2

Once you have all that money, you're gonna want to open up the internet app on your phone and head to 'www.dynasty8realestate.com' in the 'MONEY AND SERVICES' section. Click on 'VIEW PROPERTY LISTINGS' and scroll down to Del Perro Heights, Apt 7 for $200,000 and buy it.

At this point you probably have received a call from Lester. If so, proceed to the green 'L' on the map. Once you meet Lester, a green 'H' will appear in your new apartment. Go there to start a heist. Proceed to do all the heists in order on hard mode. This will be easier with friends and searching up detailed guides can make them a lot easier. I would also recommend buying and using the Karin Kuruma (Armoured) on www.southernsanandreassuperautos.com after you complete the Fleeca Job. This is the hardest phase, but it is well worth the rewards.

Phase 3+

Once you complete all of the heists in order on hard mode, you should have well over $2,000,000 in your account. Head to The Music Locker, an underground club in the Casino. Hear you will meet Miguel Madrazo who will tell you about another heist. Once you have finished that, buy the submarine that he mentioned. Once you buy it, it should show on the map and if not, you can spawn it in by pressing 'M' and heading to Services->Kosatka->Request Kosatka. You now have access to the Cayo Perico heist, which is the current meta for making money.

Do these heists repeatedly and you can get over $1,000,000 every hour. You can also complete them solo. Again, searching up detailed guides for the heist can be useful till you get used to it. Personally, I use the Kosatka Approach Vehicle and use the drainage tunnel to go straight into the compound, full stealth. The great thing about this heist is that you can do it in a wide variety of ways, so there's a method for any play style.

The first purchase you should make after the Cayo Perico Heist is the Sparrow, as it can be spawned at any time, anywhere through the interaction menu. This will make heist setups significantly faster and easier. After this, you can kinda buy anything. If you want to become good at PvP, buy the weapon workshop in your submarine and invest in vehicles like the Nightshark for safe travel and the Oppressor MK2 if you really want to be an ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. You can also expand into passive businesses that will make money without you doing any work. If this is the case, buy them in this order; Bunker, Cocaine, Meth, Weed, Cash, Nightclub. With all of these businesses, make sure to fully upgrade them first and always buy supplies instead of stealing them.

Some other fun things you can do are the Casino and Doomsday heists, but by now you probably know what you want to do. Have fun!

Not all the modders are assholes, so that's a very generic thing to say about mod menus. You clearly have no idea.

[Headcrab]

Just use a RAM editor and get yourself all the money

@Nuuskiz The Kosatka costs 2.2 mil and makes over 1.1 mil an hour. An office+vehicle warehouse costs 2.5 mil and makes 300k an hour. Completing heists is also a lot faster than grinding races for hours.

[NUUSKIZ]

This is really bad. Just grind races until u can buy an office and a vehicle warehouse
