[@subscribefortacos]

HERE WE GO! Beginners Guide to GTA 5 Online! Hope you guys enjoy the series I'm having a great time recording it! Feel free to let me know if there is anything you would like me to go over in the comments!

You should start with the auto shop

I wish a ps5 all my friends moved to ps5 and gta e&e

[@highinquisitor0083]

When you cover the MC clubhouse don't forget to mention one of the best low lvl grinds in the game. The Life and death bikes contract. If you have the motorcycle shop you can sell the bike at the end of the mission. Making the total payout $70500 for about 10 minutes work and it has no cool down.

Thats allot better than the viewers deciding. It's great to see how others start from scratch and grind thru it. Magic to see spun the wheel back for CP 😂❤❤

[@EvaMagae1983]

What a good start! I'm also thinking about starting my very first second character. This is a good guide to follow (minus the animal photos, I'm on PC). Thank you as always!

[@DeadMao5]

You should grab a Sentinel XS off the street, take it to LS Customs to make it a personal vehicle, then take it to Hao's to HSW upgrade it. You get one upgrade for free after you join the car meet and complete the Hao time trial.

[@Pumpydog98]

As a player who has 2 characters (1 main and the second as a throw away) you do appreciate and take time to take in all of what los santos has to offer. I think the more you progress the more things seem to pass by, but slowing down and getting the Perico guard or going to the stash houses or the street dealers is a good way to learn the map for new players

[@SoloGamingZA]

Also the second character allows you to do the same missions again when the 1st character is on cooldown

[@Pumpydog98]

@@SoloGamingZA salvage yard is good for this, same account second character. It’s 2 separate businesses but the same bank account so you can do them twice for the same money. Therefore making that 6 car heists a week you can do 👌

[@SoloGamingZA]

@@Pumpydog98 Yeah that is exactly what I started to do this week. I kinda forgot about my second character... Am also doing the daily shipwreck now on both accounts and I noticed the G-stash house if you have no mc biz then pays out between 33K and 40K and the G-cache is usually snacks armor ammo and then about 19K cash. On my main account I bank on average 2million a week from money collected from safes and daily collectible events that is without even playing the game really then work in the salvage yard tow truck money I rarely even do heists anymore and I have never even done cayo perico... total I make about 5 or 7 million a week playing only 1 hour a day that is on my main account without my second character earnings im going to start factoring in from this week so that should be another 3million extra a week so it will toat; to roughly 12million for 7 hours of game play.

[@tinystar3010]

This definitely feels like a better start to what you intended with the first rag to riches! This will definitely help the new players.

[@LorkesLorkinhoGamer]

Olá :) 🇵🇹

[@necklife7800]

I don't know why you didn't think about the agency as your first business. It's gives access to a buzzard, a 21 car garage, the Dr. Dre contract (easy mil), pay phone hits, security contracts, passive safe money, access to Imani tech mods, and an Armory with 5% discount. Plus free travel perks (company helicopter & car) and snacks. And it starts a little over 2 millions dollars. All that adds up pretty quick. But thanks for the videos!

[@jimmieedmondson2480]

I just bought a membership to the casino and just raced horses for 2 days and ended up with 2 million. That's a great start

[@francks6641]

Great video! You could purchase a bati 800, it's very cheap (15k I think) and you'd definitely beat the time trials with it. It was my first purchased vehicle back in 2013!

[@naturalbornpatriot6369]

A solid approach. I found that doing G’s missions consecutively, then Vincent, then First Dose. If you do free aim on PC, I recommend going to ammunition and burn through some targets. Get you shooting skill up as much as you’re willing to. Before starting Last Dose, do the navy revolver, you can find many helis to use, you can find one at shady shores airfield (Trevor’s) and use a guide online for the locations and you can get it in 15 minutes. Then do the Last Dose missions, the first one being a hold your ground, with well over 50 enemies, use the revolver and get the money that comes with it. The best part about the acid lab is the missions pay for it including the upgrade (the 10 you have to do to get the upgrade equates to 500k, which is a free business upgrade and profit). The very first full sell is all profit. By this point just do any job another player invites you too, especially heists, for more money. The free vehicles will get you through to here and you get a super car at the end of it. Get a cheap apartment in the center of town, and the 20k garage, make use of the armored duke for missions, sitting in the car with the uzi melting gangs is the way to go.

[@LoDown295]

I can’t to see how this all unfolds. My friends didn’t really give me good advice when I started and I felt like that set me back and made things a little more difficult than necessary.

[@T-J-0-23]

I’m a level 91 started in November 2023 I have a oppressor, mark II Annis erous sparrow terobyte acid lab a lot of the cars from the casino kosatka agency all the mc businesses bunker CEO office high end apartment nightclub mc club house the one in the city most of the guns with all the upgrades and as a high level and experienced player I can say there’s a lot of stuff from this video that I did and it helped keep doing what you do man! Much love from Australia ❤🇦🇺🌮 (Sorry it’s so long)

[@SpecialSunShine]

Always love seeing beginner guides for anything

[@ErenYeager-_-X]

For the time Trials and driving in general you can buy the bati801 it's only 15k ! And for missions get yourself a Duke O'Death it's free

[@starbuckkserapis4552]

Couple quick tips and notes: 1. Easy way to get snacks: Join a public lobby and go to the arcade located closest to the casino. You can enter most anyone's arcade where the player is active in the session and get a full snack reload from the bartender; the owner doesn't have to be there as arcades are delivered with public access to the lobby and few peope change it (nor should they). It won't show on map for you but driving down the road toward the docks, you'll see it just before going under the freeway. G's Cache is only a partial load and only works once per real day. Probably not enough for someone spending a full Saturday at the grind. Other arcades might work too, but this one is the most popular so it is the one more likely to be accessible. 2. Stolen cars are subject to despawn whenever you get out of line of sight from them. Most new players will have an apartment and an initial free car though so this really should not be much of an issue. But if you do'nt, for some reason, be prepared. Never use a stolen car for a stash house if you can avoid it.

[@trickyino]

Thank you so much this is 100% the guide I need! I don't know if you're aware though (you probably are) if you use press the touchpad on the ps5 you can resupply all of your ammo from there without needing to go to the gun shop. Also if you register as a CEO boss you can get armour drops via the abilities section. Thank you again for this fabulous guide. The part in most looking forward to is ceyo cause I'm still struggling with that heist (and I've got the pink diamond scooped out so I don't want to do the heist until I've waited your guide cause the guards always spot me.)

[@MahBor]

So will you not be continuing the rags to riches we got to vote on? That was super fun. Maybe do it again after this and call it something else

[@villelepoaho4105]

Buying the Hakuchou Drag motorcycle was one of the best investments I've made. Getting 350k every week from the two time trials pays off for the bike in 3-4 weeks, and everything else is just profit after that. It's the fastest way to get around the map (on land).

[@honestjohn7513]

I started a couple of years ago and now 220 odd. Been fun grinding again after a long time not playing. It'll be good to compare what I did personally to what you do and in what order

[@pritamraut1569]

Hey man can I start with a bunker arms business and then buy a clubhouse to become a mc of a motorcycle club at the same time? So that I can have two business together?

[@honestjohn7513]

@@pritamraut1569 you can own all the businesses at once

[@Bambeakz]

First of all the bunker on the left is crazy good and cheaper. I always fill it up and then change lobbies till I get the phantom wedge. Yeah you lose money every time but it is worth it because most other vehicles option are only doable with a 1/4 stock. Lowest I had was 780K And as a low level the agency is great and if you have a friend that can help your start up the acid lab or when you start with a karuma even alone.

[@Flamb00zled]

You can also get the animals to photo from the email they sent you. I reckon also save for the Hangar in Zancudo so you have access to the base. Oh and don’t forget the free Duke of Death you can get 😊 Looking forward to the rest of the series.

[@zoomerdabs1294]

I spent weeks grinding for Duke of death back in the day the fact it’s free now is crazy

Ayyy well hopefully it helps!

the boar always spawns by that little river i think its a bit bugged you have to get the picture at the right angle

[@DareToDrone]

I’m going to really enjoy this series. I’ve also started a brand new account today. Wonder if I can beat you to $50m and all businesses 😂

[@xaveforum4all0]

I see more as the best first bussines the agency because of that you have a save that can fill up 20K per gta day passive income after you did 200 contract missions and by doing this you will earn at least 10M. then you have the dose mission where you can earn 1m per final and you get pay phone hits.

[@deadlypassagesgaming]

There's a lot of cars new players can get for free. The Duke of Death, a bike that'll work in time trials, the elegy and more. So if you're new you don't need to steal and rely on random cars on the street

[@ogxmurderrr5145]

don’t be shy to make these videos longer i enjoy your amazing content 😊

[@PlavaKicma]

You should definitely use the free stuff the game has to offer. Cars like Annis Elegy RH8, Grotti Turismo R, Imponte Duke O'Death, etc. Motorcycle- Vortex. Helicopter- Frogger. Also, the Bunker at the Paleto Cove is free, Motorcycle Club at the Grand Senora Desert is free as well. Also the CEO Office at the Del Perro Street is free as well. I can't actually remember all the free things the game has to offer but you know what I mean. If its free its free. Use it. For example, you want to buy Bunker but at a more approachable location, so get this one for free so you can deliver weapon parts for 50k/day as a side business to make even more money while grinding other things for the Bunker location you wish to have or Kosatka, Hangar, etc. Same for other free stuff. That Turismo R and a Frogger would definitely help you a lot so you don't have to seek and drive NPC's vehicles all the time. Great idea to buy Armor from the Van, having in mind it has a discount on it. Free snacks you can get at the free CEO Office or at the Premium Deluxe Motorsport building, so you can save money on the snacks. BTW - I love the series, as always - can't wait for another episode.

[@glixrio]

a lot of these are only free with the starter pack

[@PlavaKicma]

I had no idea thats the case. I thought everyone has it for free, no matter what platform or what pack they are starting with. Hopefully he has something that could make this series easier for him to make. @@glixrio

[@RyanK3tchum]

Sharing my own personal experience with the killer , I actually found the van clue at the same location and I wasn’t sure where I was suppose to go to wait for him so while looking at the map I feel my controller vibrating and someone is hitting me , low and behold it was the killer. He will come for you at the last clue location 😂😂😂😂

[@DeadManDownunder]

I tried doing the double action revolver on my beginner's series and didn't get paid the $250,000, and didn't know why, someone in my comments section told me it's because you can only do it once per account so as I was on my second character for that series and had already done it on my main character I didn't get paid for it, but at least I was able to show new players how to do it still🤷‍♂️🤣.

[@vincent_mark]

remember you also get bonus money for certain awards from each DLC

[@Sav-b9i]

Actually did this too on New year's Day, because for some unknown reason l lost access to my first character on New Year's Eve. Got some of the free money as Tacos did, quests, stash etc. Did some CEO work and two missions that give you free grenades or stickys, and make 15k each time. Ground out all the Acid Lab missions, love the Virtue now. The game screwed me several times by removing ammo and even all snacks while trying to get through them. Game routinely gave me weapons l didn't own and stole the fist one l bought.Eventually remembered you can get a free Duke O Death. Second business was The Agency, third Chop Shop, fourth Nightclub, and Hangar to feed the Nightclub.Just got the Mod Shop on special and double money so l can upgrade cars. Will probably get a Bunker to feed the Nightclub too. Got about 30 million at the moment at level 90. The game is very bugged on PS4 nowadays.

what new players seem to neglect the fact that your stats are gonna be low as the titanic. So driving might be the easiest thing you should max out. you will notice that driving starts to get easier the higher your dtiving stats are. same goes for flying. might be the reason why most new players arent that good at driving/flying not neccesarly bcs they actually suck at it. 😂

What's happening with your rags to riches series?? I mean this is pretty much the same kind of series. But yeah i'd say for a new player the autoshop or agency are the best businesses to start with since both of them make you a good amount of money but my first option as a noob would be the hangar. All three of those businesses are good not just for new players but every player who likes to make money legit.

[@aj6761]

Sooooo do you actually use that midi controller back there or is it just for decoration? Im only asking because I have the same one

[@The_General_Meme_Outlet]

How about best possible passive income and other things other then cayo and dr dre? Now a days all the quides cover cayo/dre and honestly those 2 either dont pay good anymore or boring and i think passive income while enjoying what the game might offer to the game would be good for people that truly are begginers on next gen

I did this about 2 months ago now and am amazed how much easier it is to earn money now, I'm up to level 123 and have earned $119m so far, I reckon that's more than I earned in my first year on my first character when starting out about 8 years ago, quite a lot of that is from afk earnings though which I never used to do back in the day.
