I feel like most people play this game solo and R* have realized this, thus the newer vehicles have weapons designed to be used while you're driving. I would say the biggest change in GTA Online is the transition away from trying to force people to play in groups.

I hate the original heist only because it makes you have for people. The modern GTA player can do all those heist by themselves. However, it is one of the most well put together series of heist I've ever seen in any game. They still really fun to do, and even after all these years, the cutscenes hold up, and emissions make sense. They were not just an excuse to sell you vehicles

[@GreenDinoRanger]

Agreed. I've been playing since early 2018 and only just finally completed the OG heists. They were fun and I'm a bit sad that I'll never be able to do them again because it is pretty rare to find a group of people compatible with my time zone. I could definitely see them being reworked for a solo player with certain roles filled by NPCs or removed completely so the player takes on the most important actions of the missions.

[@TaurusTheCrazyBull]

The Prison Break Heist Is Impossible to do In modern day GTA Online, I wanted to play the original Heist series because I was getting bored of the other methods of getting money (think I had Cayo when I was trying It) but dear god the sheer difficulty working with 4 random players, I couldn't convince my friends to help me with It and whenever I tried all the team lives would disappear because the game makes you divide and conquer and I was forced Into the police department one, the easier and safer of the two options

I would say the Duke of Death is good beginner car, Beings that it is free and fast, and covers most protection, it makes a solid contender for being a good car, afterwards once you have your business set up I would recommend upgrading to the Karuma and then running the online systems. There is one mission in particular that I would not use the Karuma on and that is the Acid labs as there is one mission where there is a tank and basically one hit and your car is toast.

[@Xth3Z]

They should double the payout from the OG heists and contact missions from what it is now. Last week, when PacStan was double money, it was quite rewarding with 3.7 million payout overall. The heists also shouldn't automatically fail, if one player drops out.

The doomsday heist, as for monetary gain, is probably one of the worst ways to gain money because of how long the setups take and, especially on the third act, a very difficult finale.

Let's not forget that the Toreador also has access to the sonar (when purchased for the Kosatka) - whereas the Stromberg does not - meaning the Toreador can actually earn you 75k daily just for taking it underwater. Granted, if you mark the locations using the Kosatka, the Stromberg can find the packages, but it cannot use sonar itself to get you the precise location as you approach.

[@tonybucheler7221]

A lot of time wasted for 75k though

[@gunbladelad7772]

@@tonybucheler7221 It's only time wasted if you don't like going around in the water - and most people don't. There are occasional days, however, when all the packages are clustered together and all 10 can be collected in under 4 minutes. The rest of the time, I'll usually find a griefer in a session and tease them - because their weapons of choice cannot hit anything underwater. All they can hit you with is a Stromberg (which can't keep up), an Orbital Cannon (750k price tag for a single kill) or another Toreador (they HATE being on a level playing field)

[@michaelk4480]

I started playing GTAO earlier this year (admittedly late to the party) and I used double reward contact missions to grind the money for a Kosatka... yet I have no regrets. It was some of the most fun I’ve had in GTA. I’ve now done Cayo Perico enough times to buy any silly thing I want, yet I find myself doing the contact missions and OG heists more often just because they are more fun. There is more to life than getting money as efficiently as possible, and the same is even more true in video games. Having fun with mediocre rewards is more appealing to me than min-maxing rewards in a way that becomes stale and repetitive. It would be nice for older heists and contact missions to have better rewards, but they are still engaging enough on their own to be worthwhile.

And as a side note I hated the doomsday heists! The finale literally used more ammo than I have ever used in one heist!

[@nevyanplamenov5409]

I think R* made the Agatha missions available for solo players in the last update

[@InveignWasTaken]

@@nevyanplamenov5409 They did. Finally managed to complete them on my own not too long ago. Casino heist is still 2 players minimum though, which now left me with a very prepared unfinished heist plan.

[@KRAFTWERK2K6]

The Stromberg has another disadvantage over the Toreador. And that is the Stromberg shows up on the map with a special vehicle icon. So you're an easy target. But the Toreador appears with you on the map just like driving a normal vehicle. A lot easier to stay bellow the radar of griefers. Also the Stromberg has only 2 seats which is a funbreaker when you wanna drive around with 3 more friends or wanna pick someone up.

[@yarnickgoovaerts]

I still use the Rhino tank occasionally. If you’re good with a tank it doesn’t matter how much armor you have and since it can aim higher than the Khanjali it’s actually a better option

[@mysteranonymous7773]

Wait seriously how much can it endure explosive’s both of them

[@daylebacchus5395]

Depends how you play the game, if you play for fun and simply not money making then old heists are relevant! I usually switch between heists for variety

[@James-ix7go]

Well I use Opressor to this date as main vehicle, for grinding and for fun. I mean you can call it instantly in MC menu, you have lot of good tracking rocket, and if you know how to glide with it, its really easy and fun

[@James-ix7go]

You use boost on ground and take of after the boost starts to reaload, close wings, use second boost in air while going to glide possition and you can fly almost half a map on one go. You dont even need to hold any key, you can open map or use phone.

[@KRAFTWERK2K6]

I think they seriously decreased the amount of rockets you can shoot with this thing. Either that or i just never used a lot of rockets when driving it.

[@aaronlucas2185]

I have to admit that I do use the Deluxo instead of any other thruster vehicle, but that's not because I think it's particularly good; I just like telling new players "Where we're going, we don't need roads"

[@scrubelite4915]

The regular oppressor is my go to back up when my mk II is destroyed. I love how you can just spam spawn it. Plus, I learned how to kill ground targets pretty precisely with the oppressor which is really fun

[@mastermikey7984]

The Doomsday Heists are something I still do. I do them if I'm bored, need some money and just feel like messing around

[@skunclep1938]

Act 3 is still the most challenging finale in the game IMO. I must have played it over 100 times since launch day, and I got my first Elite Challenge last week. I have to admit, even though I’m a true OG, the crew got carried by a god. (Shout out to Indaco) I even enjoy the set ups, but can’t find many experienced players who agree 🙄

[@monkey-gamer6969]

The ruiner stuns a player when vehicle acces on no-one

[@ryanb94457]

I’ve been going through the original heists just for the sake of completion. Oh my lord the pain. I spend 20-40minutes trying to get people to join/stay in the mission and about 10-20minutes to complete a single mission. Horrendous.

[@Pr0phetless]

Really, the only reasons to do the Doomsday heist is to get the 3 trophies in your facility, AND (more importantly) get the cops off you for free with Lester. I know it's only $200 per star, but that adds up over time

[@I_Nemesis]

It doesn’t add up over time tho unless you have almost no money which even doing a contact mission could give you enough to afford it for quite a long time

[@jvazacas]

I only use Lester if I'm in a hurry to finish to log out. Otherwise, losing the cops in gta is not that difficult and you get rp for losing the wanted level but no rp to have Lester bribe them.

[@Chris4G63T]

Contact missions nowadays are good if you want to break up the monotonous repetition of businesses and heists. I've grinded 65mil even after buying everything I've needed/wanted. So I just do some contact missions here and there to keep things interesting and different.

[@early90smf90]

It's actually crazy how unbalanced GTA is at this point

[@mrnk88]

Nowadays, the OG heists are just for fun, when you have friends to play. Still, would be awesome to get a boost on them, plus, the ability to play them solo or by two players.

[@harrybrown1513]

One of the best memories on gta online come from the insurgent with a turret. Me and my mate luke used to play gta online together all the time, stuck together and did everything in it together from day one. Contact missions, heists, cargo, doomsday heist, casino heist. We spent hours going round the city in my insurgent hed drive, id be the gunner. Wicked times some of the battles we had with other players were so much fun. He stopped playing the game about three years ago and now my inurgent just sits in my agency gathering dust. A memorial to a fun time.

[@bluefloyd00]

The buzzard was my go to vehicle for a long time back in the contact mission days!

[@Keeszify]

Contact missions are fun! It's sad nobody plays them :-(

[@AverageCommenter2023]

Only OG's remember the original Insurgents vs RPG's LTS on the Vinewood boulevard. It were fun times when playing with full lobbies.

[@nightmarexrazer1377]

Only thing I can add is that (unless it has changed since I tested it) the Toreador takes less damage than the Stromberg. When my friends and I tried it we found the toreador to take 4 missiles to the stromberg’s 5.

[@kirylooo]

For low levels missions are good or at least ok start

[@user-ts9uk9kj3z]

I completed all contact missions on mission list, including hidden missions. I found some of them really fun. Actually these missions have trained my skills and understanding of GTA online.

[@UnusualPete]

If you play the game for fun, then the contact missions are a good way to pass the time. I enjoy doing Gerald's missions a lot. On the other hand, ULP Missions are just horrible... They're really glitchy and they have a really low rating. The first one has a rating of 0%! 😂 As for vehicles, I only buy what's useful or my favourites. Just this week I bought a normal Voltic! I love electric vehicles and my favourite is the Surge. 😄

[@MegaBadgeman]

I like contact mission as a solo player. You have to think about tactics, unorthodox methods.

[@isaactwine]

I don't think the ULP missions are that bad. It has a decent storyline. The pay is shitty though.

[@UnusualPete]

@@isaactwine To be honest, I've only done the first one. That one was shitty, to me at least. As for the rest, I'm just saying what I read online. Maybe people dislike them, including TGG apparently.

[@kayla-Rey22]

at@@UnusualPete : The problem with R* is they have made recent missions too long and involved so that they are not worth playing. It started with the Gerald Last Play missions. You can actually do just about any 2 of the original contact missions and make more money than a single Last Play mission in less time. They have done this with the new Bunker missions. They are so long and so involved that they are not worth playing. i just change sessions until I get one of the original missions and never bother playing any of the new ones. R* just don;t get this.

[@kayla-Rey22]

@@MegaBadgeman : Exactly. The Repo-Under the Hammer mission is impossible with randoms as they just go charging in the front entrance and get annihilated right away. That mission is so easy solo if you use the right strategy. Same with Repo-RV Nearly There. It's an easy mission to do solo if you use the proper tactics. Randoms just totally mess that mission up big style.

[@PARIZEN]

The way Rockstar could fix all the heists is make the og heist 2-4 players and the doomsday and casino heists can be modified for solo play. I don't remember doomsday but if you speed up loot pickup animation for casino and give you less fingerprint hacks that could easily be solo

[@curtisevans8413]

I wouldn't mind if they let us do preps solo/with two people. You do need 4 players for Prison Break and Humane Labs, but you could get away with two players on the others.

[@fabianramirez3222]

I stopped trying to complete apartment heists as leader with random people when realized how frustrating and time consuming it was, so, instead, I went with joining others using "quick join" option from cellphone. Still frustrating when people leaves, but it takes considerably less time than being the host. The other remaining option is having friends to play with, but unfortunately, the few I have are not interested.

[@ShaunSalter]

Actually the original Oppressor is still useful for the freeroam biggest jump challenge, as it still counts as a land vehicle. Jump-Gliding from the observatory down to the beach usually wins one of those..."

You don’t do doomsday heists for the money. It’s for the experience, and the criminal mastermind challenges for that are the hardest achievements for heists in the game. Quite satisfying on completion.

Every so often when im in the mood to play GTA I do a few contact missions and mess around doing other stuff in the game. Those were the days.

[@orsaz924]

[@anotherfacelessname9270]

Honestly, the only real buff the original heists need is an option to play them solo. The payouts are fine for one person, but the main draw is how grounded and fun they are. They don't need to compete with Cayo Perico, they just need to have a solo option so that we can have fun with them.

[@braamkotze473]

OG Heist will always remain the best for me tbh. The way all four people had special and specific roles to perform. It made it feel like a live action movie you're playing with your friends.

[@lukaspersson4051]

And also vehicle cargo because you get 80k but probably less because you will get shot and I think it has a 20 minute cooldown so it’s better to just do payphone, headhunter, sightseer or a terrorbyte mission if you want fast money
