GTA 5 online special cargo in warehouse. FAQ on Smuggling in GTA Online

Many people probably already know this method, but I’ll still share these instructions with the community. Everything is described in sufficient detail in the video, but for those who do not have the opportunity to watch the video, instructions are located under the video.

What is this and what is it for?

IN GTA Online There is such a field of activity as being a boss. The very essence is this: you need to buy special cargo, pick it up and deliver it to the warehouse, and then after successful delivery and as the warehouse fills up, sell it and get good money for it. All this can be done either alone or with friends as someone hired to work for you.
The problem itself is that while delivering cargo, other players who are in the session with you will see that you are carrying cargo. They will be tasked with stopping you from delivering the cargo, and for this they will receive in-game currency and experience. To save yourself from the fear of being interrupted during delivery, there is a little trick to stay alone in the session. This method will help you deliver goods alone or with friends (you will first need to invite them to the session). This is done in a few simple steps:

Launch GTA Online and enter the regular public session
Collapse game (Alt+Tab or Windows+Tab)
Launch browser (Chrome, Firefox, Opera)
Go to the router control panel
The address usually used to log in is 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1
Update internet connection settings
Return to the game and wait before 1 minutes

Note

It is important to take into account the fact that if there is no Internet connection for a long time, you may be kicked out of the game (session) with an error. That is why I recommend not rebooting the router, but only applying the Internet connection settings. In this case, the break with Rockstar servers will be quick and insignificant. Also, this method in most cases does not work when disconnecting the Internet cable from the computer, or turning off and on the WiFi module.

If there is no Internet connection for a long time, a similar error may appear:

But you can enter a session alone through the storyline?
Unfortunately no! If you enter a single player session via single player, you will simply not be able to access the boss missions.

Personally, I managed to earn a little more with two warehouses $3,000,000 in 6 hours. At the same time, 2 special special cargoes were sold. At the time of delivery of goods for sale, there were two more inactive players in the session, which gave a little more profit.

There is no ban for this method, since you do not interact with the game with third-party programs, do not use bugs, security holes, glitches, etc. By causing this "reaction" in the game, Rockstar's servers think that you have a very slow Internet connection and disconnect you from the session. In this case, the connection is quickly restored, and you return to a single session.

Trading special cargo in GTA Online is one of the additional functions that become available to players after purchasing their own office. To start your activity, you need to use a special computer – SecuroServ. It is a terminal in which all the main actions related to production, entrepreneurship and other interesting interactivity in the project from Rockstar are performed.

Using the same computer, you will need to purchase your own warehouse, which we talked about in the previous material. In general, the premises have different prices and locations, but do not differ from each other in anything else. In each warehouse you will have access to a room where you can store special cargo for further sale. All three different types of special cargo are available:

Small;
Average;
Big.

Small special cargo involves storing up to 16 boxes of property, medium – up to 42 boxes, and large – up to 111. After purchasing the cargo, you will need to deliver it to your warehouse, and each player in GTA Online will be able to choose one of the types of cargo:

You should not think that you will receive different benefits from the type of product - products differ only in appearance. The category is determined randomly by the game, so you shouldn't worry about being offered to buy some electronics instead of gold bars or gems.

During the purchase, you will be able to choose one of the options: purchase one, two or three boxes at the same time. If you are completing the task alone, it is recommended not to buy several boxes at once. The fact is that a character can transport only one box at a time, so if you covet several at once, then there is a high risk of parting with the property without delivering it to the warehouse. The more products you order, the more difficult the task!

Also keep in mind that the mission to deliver cargo to the warehouse and sell it is limited in time. Of course, from the first minutes you will not see a timer that would count down valuable moments, but over time you will notice how the game will tell you that there are five minutes left until the end of the task. Accordingly, you are allocated about 20 minutes for one mission, so assess your capabilities wisely and do not get down to business if you are not sure that you will have time.

Unusual cargo

Throughout the mission related to the special cargo, you will receive different messages from the assistant. At one point, he (she) may tell you that a special cargo has been discovered that can be obtained. This opportunity should not be missed, because if successful, you can get much more more money for such an event than for the sale of standard products.

In total, in the game you can meet several different unusual cargoes:

Old film tape. You can buy such a thing for $19,000, and its sale will bring you $95,000. The benefits are obvious!
Rare fur item. Buy $21,000, sell $105,000.
Golden collectible machine gun. Buy $23,000, sell $115,000.
Faberge egg. Buy $25,000, sell $125,000.
Huge 64 carat diamond. Buy $27,000, sell $135,000.
The rarest pocket watch. Buying $30,000, selling $150,000.

The mission to buy and sell special cargo is a unique activity, after which the countdown starts. During this period, you will not be able to complete other similar tasks, so it is recommended to wisely choose the product that will bring you maximum benefits!

How to sell cargo?

The sale of your property is carried out through a special laptop that is located in your warehouse. Having accumulated a certain amount of property in a room, you can immediately sell 20% of its total amount, 50% or 100%. If you risk selling all the goods at once, then be prepared for the fact that the game will signal to other players about the deal for the most short term! However, these risks are more than compensated by the profit that the player receives in GTA Online for selling such a quantity of products.

So, when you have decided on the desired amount of cargo for sale, you should choose how it will be delivered to the final destination. For this you can use several different types transport:

Cargo Ship;
Spacious car;
Two airplane models.

The type of transport, as well as its quantity, is selected depending on the cargo being sold. If you want to sell from 1 to 9 boxes at once, then one vehicle is enough for this. If we're talking about about the sale of 10-29 boxes, then two transport workers are already involved, and for 30 or more goods, respectively, three means of transportation.

If you are transporting cargo by water, then you have to go to the open sea and fight off your pursuers all the way until the boat arrives at the desired point. On a plane, everything is simpler - you just need to fly over Los Santos and drop the goods on the marker, while shooting at enemies using Buzzards.

Transport improvements

If you need more reliable and faster transport than standard models, you can use a special tool box that is in your warehouse. For each type of product, you can make up to two upgrades, and they differ in specifics:

For trucks - improving the armor on the body (costs $230,000) or strengthening the tires (made for $95,000);
For ships - installing a more powerful engine (costs you 170,000 in-game dollars) or increasing armor (costs $265,000);
For aircraft - an improved signal jammer (will cost you $300,000) or increased vehicle armor (will require an investment of $190,000).

If you install armor on your vehicle, then, as you can understand, it will be able to withstand more damage that opponents will inflict on you during the mission. Installing new tires on a car will make it possible to protect vehicles from punctures; a powerful engine on a ship will significantly increase its speed, and a signal jammer on an aircraft will increase the time it takes for the enemy to appear.

Absolutely all improvements Vehicle, which are currently available in GTA Online, will cost you 1,250,000 in-game currency. In general, several days of active farming of money will allow you to significantly reduce the risk of mission failure as a result of an enemy attack.

Price counting

For your convenience, we indicate the amounts Money, which will allow you to save time by performing several actions at the same time.

For a small warehouse:

the total proceeds from selling 100% of the goods from the warehouse will bring you $240,000;
purchasing cargo to fill the entire warehouse at once will cost $92,000;
slow purchasing (16 operations per box) will save money, asking you $32,000;
the profit made with a slow purchase of goods will bring you 208,000 dollars, and with a fast purchase - 148,000;
you can recoup the cheapest small warehouse by making two sales of fully stocked premises (the total purchase price of such a warehouse is $250,000);

We hope that this guide will allow you to understand how to properly allocate time during class. entrepreneurial activity with trade in special cargo.

This article answers questions about the new mechanics added in the DLC "Smugglers" ("Smuggler's run").

FAQ will be updated as needed

Q: What is a hangar for?

A: For storage/tuning of aircraft, and for carrying out missions to intercept/sell contraband.

Q: Where to buy a hangar?

A: On the website in foreclosures.maze-bank.com(in the same place as the bunker and clubhouse).

Q: Which hangar is better?

A: In terms of volume, functionality and appearance, hangars do not differ from each other. Missions to intercept and sell contraband take place throughout the map, so sometimes it is more convenient to start a mission in Fort Zancudo. For military base hangars you will have to pay almost twice as much, but they have one advantage: hangars in Fort Zancudo give you the right to be at the military base without receiving wanted stars.

Q: Can I buy air Transport from update " Smuggler's Run“, without a hangar?

A: No. Planes and helicopters from the Smuggler's Run update can only be stored in your hangar.

Q: How can I call an airplane (or other air transport) parked in my hangar?

A: Interaction menu (“M”) -> “ Transport» -> « Call VT". Your transport will be delivered to the nearest convenient point to you.

Q: Is it possible to customize old planes/helicopters available for calling through Pegasus?

A: Can. To do this you need to put your aircraft to the hangar.

Q: How to install upgrades on old aircraft?

A: Unfortunately, old aircraft can only be repainted. Except for the plane Cuban 800, which is given to the player for free when purchasing a hangar. You can make a bomber out of it.

Q:How to start collecting and selling contraband?

A: You must have purchased a hangar, and you must be registered as a CEO boss, or as the president of a motorcycle club. The control laptop is in the hangar, on the second floor, to the left.

Q: What type of contraband is the most profitable to sell?

A: All transported contraband is divided into 8 types:

You can load no more than 50 units of any product, in any combination, into your warehouse. Unlike CEO special cargo, you do not need to pay for information about the location of the cargo.

Q: How many boxes can I transport to the hangar at one time?

A: The number of boxes depends on the size of your organization or motorcycle club. But no more than 4.

Q: What type of cargo is the most profitable?

A: The cost of one unit of any product is $10,000 . If you transport random cargo and your warehouse is filled with 50 boxes of different types, for the sale you will receive, respectively, $500,000 (minus a little nervous Ron). However, if you collect the same type of item, you will receive a certain bonus. The amounts of bonuses for certain types of cargo can be viewed in.

Q: It turns out that it is most profitable to sell medicines, chemicals and drugs?

A: This is not entirely true. Even though the items listed above have the highest markups, it will take longer to collect one type of cargo than random items. After delivering any cargo, repeat delivery of the same type is subject to a cooldown of 3 to 7 minutes. When choosing the type of product, you should take this into account. Also, if you plan to sell incomplete warehouses, then you will not receive a 70% markup, therefore, your choice is products for which the markup is increased every 5 units of goods.

Is that really possible? We are living in 2018...

I want to buy a hunter (hunter helicopter) at a wholesale price for 3 million, not 4, for this they write that you need to complete a series of tasks to steal air cargo (42). What needs to be done, I look at the figure and it doesn’t change, maybe it shouldn’t, maybe I need to look at the statistics somewhere. But as I understand it, I just need to get the cargo in the hangar and that’s it, they’ll give me for it wholesale price? Generally any cargo while working in a hangar?

Redbeard, either the president or the CEO (chief).

Do you have to be the president of a motorcycle club in order to engage in smuggling?

Rud, corrected, thanks.

Q: Which hangar is better?
A: In terms of volume, functionality and appearance, hangars do not differ from each other.

But no, the hangars in Zancudo make it possible to calmly run around the base and fly over it without fear of catching 4 stars, which makes it much easier to hijack a fighter/tank, while at the same time they will immediately give only 2 stars. Agree, this is a very pleasant and significant bonus ⌒__⌒

After purchasing, the player has access to the SecuroServ computer, through which you can access three main branches of activity boss- trade in special cargo, stolen high-class cars, special transport assignments.

Special cargo

Most often, the main branch of activity becomes trade special cargo- special cargo. To store special cargo, the organization uses warehouses, which can be purchased using a computer in the office. There are three types of warehouses:

* Small - the cheapest, can contain up to 16 boxes;
* Medium - average in price, can hold up to 42 boxes;
* Large - the most expensive, can hold up to 111 boxes.

A player can have no more than 5 warehouses at the same time.

Purchase of a warehouse

To buy a warehouse, you need to activate the computer on the player’s desk in the office. After a short explanatory speech by the assistant/assistant in the tab “Special cargo” there will be a map of Los Santos with all available warehouses. Warehouse maps below:

NOTE: Marked in green acquired warehouse, red - accessible for purchase. The number shown below the signs is the price in GTA$.

Small warehouses:

Medium warehouses:

Large warehouses:

Note: warehouses of one category do not differ in capacity, the only difference is location and price.

Cargo purchase

After purchasing a warehouse, the player will be able to purchase boxes with cargo from the same computer. The purchasing scheme is simple - the player buys from one to three boxes for a certain amount, picks up the cargo and delivers it to the warehouse. You can purchase 11 different types of cargo:

* Trophies of poachers;
* Antiques;
* Gold bars;
* Counterfeit goods;
* Electrical devices;
* Gems;
* Jewelry;
* Medicines;
* Drugs;
* Tobacco and alcohol;
* Weapons and ammunition.

The type of cargo is determined randomly by the game and is updated after purchase. He does not affect neither the purchase price nor the selling price and is purely a decorative function. It affects:

* Display of purchased cargo on warehouse shelves;
* Items that will be added to the office after the successful purchase of the cargo;

There are three functions available for purchase:

* Buy one box for GTA$2,000;
* Buy two boxes for GTA$8,000;
* Buy three boxes for GTA$18,000;

Note: In most missions, only one player can carry one crate. Therefore, it is highly recommended not to buy three boxes alone, as the risk of losing part of the cargo is very high. In addition, the more boxes, the higher the difficulty of the purchase mission.

Missions have a time limit - it is not shown most mission, but after about 25 minutes, a 5-minute timer is activated, after which the mission will end. That is, for one mission given about 30 minutes.

From time to time, the assistant/assistant will call informing you of an “unusual” cargo available for purchase. Such missions are much more difficult than usual and always contain only one box for transportation, but special cargo will bring much more profit.

The list of special cargoes is below:

1. Rare pocket watch

Purchase price: GTA$30,000;Sale price: GTA$150,000;

2. Large diamond 64 carats

Purchase price: GTA$27,000;Sale price: GTA$135,000;

3. Decorated egg “Faberge Egg”

Purchase price: GTA$25,000;Sale price: GTA$125,000;

4. Golden machine gun

Purchase price: GTA$23,000;Sale price: GTA$115,000;

5. Rare fur “Bigfoot Skin”

Purchase price: GTA$21,000;Sale price: GTA$105,000;

6. Film film

Purchase price: GTA$19,000;Sale price: GTA$95,000;

* After purchasing a special cargo, it can be sold separately from the rest.
* Buying missions have a cooldown, preventing you from purchasing goods for a period of time. One way to replace it is the “Tourist” mission. Being one of the easiest and safest, the payment for it pays off the costs of even three boxes, leaving 3-4 thousand on top.

Selling cargo

After purchasing the cargo, it can be sold through the Ad-Hawk network using a laptop located in the warehouse.

When selling, the player has a choice:

* Sell 20% of the cargo in the warehouse;
* Sell 50% of the cargo in the warehouse;
* Sell 100% of the cargo in the warehouse;

The more cargo a player decides to sell at a time, the more profit he will receive, but the shorter the global signal delay will become, after which all players in the session will know about the sale.

Cargo for sale can be transported by tugboat, Cuban 800, Titan aircraft, or Brickade truck.

The number of vehicles used for sales depends on the amount of cargo sold by the organization. When selling:

* 1-9 boxes use 1 vehicle;
* 10-29 boxes used by 1-2 vehicles;
* 30 or more boxes are used by 1-3 vehicles;

Therefore, the more boxes, the more partners required for transportation.

There are several types of sales missions:

* While flying a plane over Los Santos and Blaine County, the player must drop cargo at drop points while defending against enemy Buzzards;
* The player must bring from one to three Brickades to the drop point;
* The player must transport one to three Brickades to the drop point, visible only through Trackify;
* The player must transport from one to three Brickades to several drop points, leaving cargo on them;
* The player must sail a boat to the buyer in the open ocean, defending himself from competitors using Sea-sharks;

After completing the mission, the player will find himself on the nearest shore;
The player must recapture the boat from the competitors who occupied it in the harbor and deliver it to the buyer on the open ocean.

Vehicle upgrades for sale

In each warehouse there will be a toolbox that the player can use to modify the transport on which he will carry cargo for sale. A total of 6 upgrades are available - 2 for Brickade, 2 for airplanes and 2 for tug boats:

Brickade:
* Armor upgrade: GTA$230,000;
* Additional protection for Brickade allows you to withstand more damage.
* Bulletproof tires: GTA$95,000;
* Replaces standard tires with bulletproof ones.

Aircraft:
* Armor upgrade: GTA$190,000;

* Armor upgrade: GTA$265,000;
*Additional protection for the tug allows it to withstand more damage.
* Engine upgrade: GTA$170,000;

Total cost for all improvements: GTA$ 1,250,000.

(at least one) you can finally get to work - purchasing and selling a variety of, usually illegal, cargo. We warn you right away: although this activity is potentially profitable, it is risky and requires a considerable investment of time and nerves. As, in general, any large-scale entrepreneurial activity.

Restrictions and features of smuggling

You can trade only in public session GTA Online. According to the developers themselves, this makes the game more exciting and allows you to experience all the “delights” of a criminal life.

Your cargo can be destroyed both when buying and selling, which makes the task much more difficult. For this reason, the amount received from the sale of goods is added bonus(according to some information - 1% for everyone in the session, excluding members of your organization).

What is important is that not only the usual dubious personalities and psychos, but also quite adequate players can encroach on the most valuable things. On the other hand, players destroyed the cargo third-party organization, receive bonuses in the form of ammunition, cash and reputation.

Purchase

If you do the math, to start trading you will need an investment of a little less $1.3 million– a modest office and warehouse plus the purchase of the first batch of goods.

Volumes

First important point: can be purchased at one time from 1 to 3 units of cargo(and sometimes - only one unique and more valuable item, like a golden minigun or Bigfoot skin), which, accordingly, depends on the complexity of the operation.

Price

The second feature of the purchasing process is that wholesale here is not cheaper, but more expensive: for one box you pay $2,000, for two – $8,000, and for three – already $18,000. In essence, you pay for time, which saves on filling the warehouse. Or, as is usually explained on the black market, more goods – more risk(get used to this word - it will come across you at every smuggling step).

Transportation

Finally, it should be noted that one player can only pick up and deliver to the warehouse one box at a time. The boss will have to decide whether to work together, protecting the cargo, or separately, quickly, but with a greater likelihood of “burning out.” In any case, we strongly advise prepare– powerful weapons and armored vehicles will definitely not be superfluous.

After selecting your batch size you will be asked pick up the order. You may encounter difficulties already here. For example, it is possible that first you will need to take away the cargo from the policemen or bandits (for now) in charge of it. Or, on the contrary, they will liquidate the seller even before your arrival, appropriating what was intended for you - and you will have to restore justice.

Be prepared for chases, ambushes, counteraction from competitors and at the same time, stay in touch with your partners and don’t ignore notifications from your personal assistant.

And even if you receive the cargo without much hassle, after some time (depending on the volume of the shipment) you will be informed about its availability all players in the session will know– that’s when the real “fun” begins. This is not for you to drink cocktails on a yacht. Don't forget to use your boss's special abilities to ensure mission success.

You can start selling with just one unit of goods. You may receive up to three offers from different buyers– plus one for a special item (if you got it).

Preparation

The larger the party, the more you can get for each box on average - wealthier customers may be interested in the supply. However, the final profit depends on how you filled the warehouse ( see table below).

To make a deal you need to use a laptop while at the desired warehouse - trading is carried out through a special website.

Throughout all stages of smuggling, remember: your cargo is not eternal and is vulnerable. The whole of Los Santos seems to be uniting against you. If you hesitate, let others get to the goods before you, or, say, explode at the wrong time, you will consider that you never had it.

For protection and “prevention” in warehouses (via workbenches), special modifications of all freight transport - improving speed, protection and others (in total - plus another $1,250,000 in expenses). Don’t be stingy, save your nerves - otherwise, even if you do push the product, part of the profit will have to be spent on valerian by the whole team.

Delivery

The delivery itself can be made by land, air or water(using Brickade, Tug, Cuban 800 and Titan). There may also be surprises here - say, gangsters surrounding your destination or pirates on their tail. But then – count the money!

Profitability of smuggling

Even after successfully completing your first sales mission, don’t rush to rejoice. Let's bring a little clarity, albeit not without heavy economic details.

Maximum possible profit from smuggling (when selling a full warehouse, without difficulty bonuses, costs in brackets)
	1 box at a time $2,000 each	2 boxes at a time $8,000 each	3 boxes at a time $18,000 each
Small warehouse for 16 boxes, income – $240,000	(-$32 000) $208 000	(-$64 000) $176 000	(-$92 000) $148 000
Medium warehouse for 42 boxes, income – $735,000	(-$84 000) $651 000	(-$168 000) $567 000	(-$252 000) $483 000
Large warehouse for 111 boxes, income – $2,220,000	(-$222 000) $1 998 000	(-$442 000) $1 778 000	(-$666 000) $1 554 000

As you can see, to get the maximum amount you will have to purchase a large warehouse, filling it one box at a time(which, of course, will take much more time). However, do not forget about the initial costs of real estate, including the office itself.

In general, to put it briefly again, once you become a boss, you you will remain in the red for a long time. At best, even after the most profitable operation, you will barely recoup the purchase of the cheapest of large warehouses.

Having understood what's what, putting the process on stream and logging into GTA Online as if it were work, it is quite possible to make money from the underground trade, but it requires serious preparation, material and time costs, and, finally, involves risk from start to finish.

After investing a lot of money and effort, you can end up with nothing in the blink of an eye. And the brand new supercar you've been dreaming about will remain alone in the showroom. As the saying goes, the life of a Rockstar smuggler is hard and unprepossessing...And yet – good luck!
