GTA Online Chop Shop Salvage Yard Cooldown Rant

I actually make a decent amount in gta online off the businesses I acquired but it took me time to get all businesses the one that makes me the most money is my nightclub which averages 200k every 3 hours of playtime then my agency and warehouse an easy 100k but you gotta constantly send your assistant out to get goods and I don’t know how you accumulate money off the agency with Franklin other than doing contract missions and then I have the casino which gives me casino jobs and then I got a marijuana farm through my biker warehouse all of which I had to obtain each over the span of 5 years so I would agree that is a long term thing but they do bring in some type of money as opposed to replaying missions

Now granted, he set it all up and had a large out of pocket, but it would be better if he could sent a higher pay out. Could help low levels. We do everything solo and meet up every few days to help each other with sells. It is what it is.

Limiting how much or how often you play the game is how mobile games got so big. It's no surprise other games caught up on that.

[@danielszabo7988]

1. I completely agree with the things you mentioned in this video. However, I am pretty sure they will not let us buy the new 3 million car for 20k after doing a 30 minute robbery. We are talking about Rockstar, that would be way too overpowered in their mind and I think they will only let you buy certain vehicles that are not too expensive. 2. I have been talking about this since the first time they nerfed cayo perico. I was fuming about that cooldown because I am a solo player and a grinder at the same time, and I enjoyed playing that way. If I wanted to I played 5 cayo pericos a day and I didn't get bored of it. I don't think that locking the best way of making money in the game behind a huge cooldown is the way to "encourage" other players to play together or try other businesses. The most irritating thing for me about that was that they hyped cayo perico up saying that this is a solo friendly heist and they want to give solo players a better experience and better way to make money. And after saying this they decided to nerf it to the ground and ignore those players they were trying to please. 3. I understand that it's not a good thing that most of the playerbase were grinding the same heist over and over again. However, I don't think that what they did is the solution for the problem. Nerfing payouts, adding cooldowns, locking content. The prices are insane in the game (5-6 million for the new cop cars for example), so instead of nerfing cayo over and over again I think they should try to make the other money making methods more appealing. There are a lot of ways they could do that (buff those payouts a bit, make casino heist playable solo with less payout, etc.) 4. When cayo perico came out I have been playing this game almost nonstop. I was motivated to make money and buy all the businesses and vehicles I wanted. But now with all the nerfs and the disregard of pc players (locking a lot of content behind PS5/Xbox Series S/X) I have 0 motivation left to play alone. I launch the game and after 10 minutes I close it because I don't have the mood to play.

I honestly feel like cooldowns can be a good thing when not made too long, they payphone hits, vehicle cargo and dr Dre contract are just fine, and if you have a lot of different activities with short cooldowns then you can create diverse gameplay because you’re forced to swap them out often. It only becomes a problem when an activity has a cooldown of more than one in-game day though.

[@kjaked39]

I don't think the Dr Dre contract has a cooldown, I remember a week ago just immediately starting it back up at the agency right after I finished the finale

[@evanburdick8503]

Not just that, but for myself and a few other people, during the Gauntlet finale theft, the Gauntlet won't spawn. I sent a glitch/bug report to Rockstar and their response was "We're sorry that you're experiencing this and apologize for any inconvenience this has cause. We've noted this bug. Please let us know of any further difficulties" So not only did I waste my time getting to the finale that I can't complete, I won't actually be able to finish it ever because it's time locked and will be removed. A+ Rockstar

and the auto shop glitch that if u have a car near the shutter u come in and u change sessions and u go in your auto shop again the car is gone has anyone else suffered this?

[@Nitroh-]

I want GTA 6 to have better/more realistic pricing. I feel like why stuff like Cayo is so appealing is cause of the payout, if things in this game only cost a few hundred thou rather than a few million, people would be more open to doing a variety of missions and activities, but since what ever gives you the biggest payout is the easiest farm, it makes the game stale imo.

[@Kev27RS]

For real! The prices are ridiculous!!! A basic car like the KANJO SJ ('94 Civic Coupé) costs 1.3 million dollars…

[@kinglizard3030]

thank you microtransactions...

[@DriverDGaming]

100% if I put up the money to setup and rob the biggest bank in the city... by the end of it I should be able to afford 300 Honda civics, instead of not even one. I am wholeheartedly for them making jets and yachts and houses more expensive/realistic and make the cars more affordable. A suburban shouldn't be over a million, a civic shouldn't be over a million, a hellcat shouldn't be over a million. It's disgusting and exploitative.

[@ljphoenix4341]

agreed. The fact that the new Karin minivan costs more than so many fast super/sport cars from 2013 to 2017/8 is crazy. We want to buy the new vehicles, yet we're forced to do SO much grinding because of how much the cars cost, it ruins the fun of a new car.

[@showaker4755]

what you mean? over a million dollars for a Honda Civic isn't realistic? # million for a police cruiser and 5 million for a police challenger aren't realistic? I remember when the Zentorno first came out and heists weren't a thing so we had to grind jobs like og rooftop rumble for a few hours to get it. Don't get me wrong, I love all the new content but I feel like if they're going to make inflation that bad they should also raise the payouts for everything. That's how inflation really works. Instead what they're giving us is more like a depression or recession.

[@SpeedHomeAttack]

If R* truly cared about players playing other heist to balance the game out, they would actually…you know…Go and balance the pay to make it make sense. Example: Aside from challenges, there is 0 reason to ever run the Doomsday Heist to try and make money. It’s takes the longest to not only set up, but also complete as well as it’s the hardest heist currently in the game. But the payout isn’t reflected in that, yet R* can’t figure out why people spam Cayo or Casino Heist. R* wants to punish players for getting too good at missions and making money too quick cause “it’s breaks in the game economy” . Yeah cause an MK2 costing 8mil is player friendly, especially when you have to buy a terabyte to store it, then a Night Club to store that and spend even more money just to put missiles on the bike. There’s no defense for R*, they never cared about balance only money.

[@Dasani_water_drinker]

True. The Doomsday is ass at the work and pay. Ridiculous. Understand that they do HATE their customers. Theyve made a killing with this game and its still not enough. They still allow modders and ghost mode crap but don’t punish those people. Instead they punish the people who are loyal and use all their services in game.

[@Epic_R3K47]

I remember me and my irl friend playing the doomsday heist. It took us 30 fcking tries to finally finish that annoying heist.

[@Ray94Adu]

Great video as always! I think they are trying to keep the player base ingame as much as possible. In my opinion I think they could do this weekly vehicle robberies something as with Forza Horizon as you get in weekly to get certain cars. It would make the players login regularly and do the missions. One high end car (as Grotti Turismo Omaggio in the first week) and 2 other lower grade vehicles. So we can keep one (the cool car) and grind the money as we sell the other two. Doing this thing for months in order to cycle through the vehicle list would make sense, at least until they come up with another DLC.

[@121Greenthumb]

Im not logging in weekly for these lame ass missions. Im just not.

[@REXae86]

No

[@Durbanite2010]

The thumbnail was hilarious, TGG. Good job! The tow truck missions are the real money-spinner. 2 cars can be disassembled at once over 48 minutes with the staff upgrade at the salvage yard, which is usually in the range of $60k-$70k every 48 minutes for what amounts to 5-8 minutes of work in the towing itself, which is more often than not without police involvement as the cars are typically low value, e.g. Futo, Fusilade, Baller, Voodoo, Banshee. Add the salvage yard safe ($48k) to the nightclub safe ($100k), arcade safe ($7500 or so) and Celebrity Solutions Safe (up to $40k) and you have some pretty good passive income over 48 minutes in-game. Adding that to the Yohan source and staff warehouse source missions and good money can be made every 48 minutes. Also, 1 car per 24 hours seems a good number (like the casino wheel), hopefully R* can fix that and maybe change the just the buy option to 1 car per week - that way, the salvage yard can make more money and you have to put some thought into which car you *really* want.

[@jimrustle643]

I just quit to main menu and wipe the cooldown timers 😂😂 verified and works for most businesses on console. If that's what you're worried about the most, that's nothing. I'm worried about GTA 6 for a whole other set of reasons: a company that doesn't fix bugs/glitches/cheating unless it affects their shark card income, a company that doesn't actively listen to it's community when it comes to fixes and content.

[@ghostbugaming]

I was on a delivery in GTA just to get the last bit of money I needed for the salvage yard, then my Xbox killed itself, and wouldn’t turn on again when I was halfway through the delivery. Happy that I’ve seen this video now just before my new one arrives.

[@AndersHass]

Given one of the options for the car heist is to sell it, it would make sense you can only do that once then you can just salvage it if you wanted to keep earning money. The salvaging takes time and limited space so there is already a method to stop people from keep doing it that way. Edit: The buying yourself could be limited because it takes time for you to be able to use it (like making fake registration and what not). The sell value could be 0 or something to make people not just sell the vehicles afterwards for profit. Edit: The benefit of the document forgery could be you need that to do it once per week, then with the staff and equipment upgrades makes it possible to do it 2 more times per week. I believe the document forgery just makes the buying cheaper which can be dropped if they go with my suggestion instead.

This really feels like a "damned if you do, damned if you don't" scenario. The players that are the most vocal are the ones that play the most, they want to find easter eggs or share an OP way to get through a mission (early Rooftop Rumble...up to Stab City Survival dumpster, Casino Heist Police Chopper, etc). This update stops them from doing that so they're going to complain.

I agree a week is too long, honestly a day wouldn't be too bad for several of the activities and could help players diversify their money making and maybe not burn out so quickly. Honestly I feel a lot of businesses/heists need a payout increase to make them more relevant, like all the MC businesses, like sure it's some nice passive money, but really with the cost of some of these nice jets, the service vehicles and what not, it would take forever for someone starting out to get to where they need to be. Like the bunker for instance, you make like 130k every 2 hrs with an upgraded bunker doing solo sell missions, just to by a terrorbyte without any upgrades it would take you 20 hrs relying on this business alone, and the simple fact is, most people aren't going to be hitting that perfectly every hour Bringing businesses on par with cayo perico would help players enjoy other aspects of the game and with the purchase cost creep over the years it's much needed

[@90cat1]

to be completely honest, I don't think it's about diversifying money making, but rather making it to where the people who hate excessive grinding want to buy shark cards. That's why they keep nerfing good money making business (such as cayo) and keep releasing cars at or above $1 million even though their real life counterpart is like $30-40 grand.

The fact that the only new garage space this DLC is behind an irl paywall, that you have to use your real life money to get, is so bullsh*t.

During the RDR2 Online beta, they realized players were session hopping at certain places around the map where players could loot ammo, jewelry, and other supplies that were hard to come by. They decided that players can't do that and implemented a 48min cooldown on the loot... that was one of the final nails in the coffin for me and I straight up just quit playing RDRO shortly after that. I hear they've made some significant improvements to what's available over the years but I've had no desire to go back.

every point you made makes complete sense like id love to just buy 1 car every 2 to 3 weeks but i wanna do the missions like all the time not having to wait a complete week, id rather it be maybe an hour cooldown to reset all 3 cars so i can go of in the meantime to fill up my large warehouse, comeback and then do all 3 missions again, i dont do cayo at all, id rather do my passive businesses like the night club or as like i said, fill my warehouses up then just comeback to the 3 car missions instead of waiting a complete week as then id have nothing to do and it just gets boring doing the same exact thing over and over again which really bores me entirely

[@Mr-Dutchy-Dutch]

your so right on everything there I was thinking the very same thing great video

[@thewhitevan9094]

The cooldown partially makes sense because some of people were getting tired of the game because of burnout from grinding so much (I speak from personal experience) but there were so many other ways to go about it. For one, they could have increased payouts of other stuff. They could also make certain things more solo-grinder friendly. There were other alternatives to the cooldown nerf. Even if they stuck with it they could have made it more reasonable like 1 in game day. Recently, I haven’t been playing cayo, I’ve been trying to do other things. And I’ve been enjoying the game a lot more. But if you are trying to get players to do other stuff then why discourage them from the things that you want them to do with cooldowns? I feel like for the new dlc the cooldown is just too much. I’d be fine with a cooldown like 1 or even 2 days but like 1 week is way too much

I have issues leveling up my LSC level, I only true to increase that level because supposedly R* gives you discounts on cars and car related upgrades.

I get the point about not stopping the player doing missions, but they want the control of which cars you will be able to buy. Because even if we could only buy 1 or 2 cars each week with the new feature, allowing us to play more car robberies would allow us to keep re-rolling the cars we have have in the salvage yard until we have the cars we want to buy, and for them that would be too OP.

[@peterdreck8446]

what many dont get is that adding a cooldown to Cayo and nerfing the loot was actually healthy for the game and its economy. But what they should do instead is to allow players to play the content, and just nerfing the loot that you get for the replays per week. E.g. 90% 2nd time, 50% from 3rd time on. Percentages are obviously debatable, but in general this concept could be applied to the most paying activities. This way keeping them attractive without making them problematic. And yes to what you also said in the video, just limit the amount of obtainable cars, easy.

@@brettboylan8529 it reduces inflation of prices for example (look at the new police cars, buy 2 pay 7mil).

Most people don't play the game as a full time job, for us it's not a huge problem I think. It's a bit like watching a series. I probably wouldn't complete more than 3 of them a week anyway, and this adds another excitement factor to the game, waiting what cars, missions we get next week.

[@evandaymon8303]

Yes but job doesnt pay out well and we never knew there was a bonus in hiest till it is to late and for most we paid nearly 5 million for the buisness making it essentially a money pit. It does however give out good passive income i will give it that but what the point of spending money on three missions that you can complete one easily under a hour solo that been locked behind a week cooldown. Here someone already came up with a better solution that would made sense. Have two missions be repeatable but they dont pay out well next time you play them again and again and have the third one be the one week cooldown where it pays extremely well. That would be much better but no. Rockstar had to kick us in the balls

It's the same as if you were to play call of duty and you launch Team Deathmatch mode and the game is like Nope, you can't play team deathmatch this week anymore, you've played 3 hours this week, you've reached your limit, go play another mode. WTF is that? Game is literally blocking their own content from being played.

[@FourTwenny]

I don't mind cooldowns, but a week is a bit long. What they could do is give once a day bonuses for everything. 2x $ on 1 bunker sale a day, 1 hanger sale a day, ect. This would encourage us to do everything. They would have to balance it, but adding in bonuses would be so much better than putting time walls up.

[@Em_B]

Rockstar's only motive to make content is to make money, maybe not the individual devs, but the company as a whole. That's the point of companies. Rockstar, by making games, have two main ways of making money, either getting the money directly from players i.e shark card microtransactions or (rarely) making a new game. The other option they have to make money that not many people talk about, is to get as many concurrent and returning players as possible, in which they can then go shot to investors and say "look at our large and dedicated playerbase! We're a low risk high reward company worth investing in!". So with those two facts in mind, you can then realize why rockstar likes to drag stuff for as long as they can like with drip feed content or long cooldowns. It's to make sure you play they game as long as possible, maybe not in one sitting, but you'll come back week after week helping them boast their numbers showing off their returning players. If you don't want to be stuck in that loop, then you'd simply pay to break it with buying shark cards.

[@Em_B]

things like daily challenges, limited time battle passes, limited time events, sales, promotions, and so on are mainly there to get you to log in just one more time. It makes much more sense as to why so many games are constantly updating and changing their games post-launch now. Having a playerbase you can point at and tell investors that they'd never leave guaranteeing a base minimum playerbase at all times looks really good on paper and to people with deep pockets wanting to make more money.

[@beatzis1195]

The main problem with gta online is that you grind missions to buy bussinesses, just to grind missions again. There's lots of playlists but the main gameplay is doing repetitive missions, over and over. There is no immersion, just content. Public lobbies on pc are still a disaster so for an online game, you mostly end up playing solo sessions. I think that rdr online is much more immersive, despite there being little to no content/updates. I hope rockstar learns from gta online and rdr online when they launch gta 6 online.
