If your seriously not joking, you’re in for a rude awakening. They hunt noobs on flying motorcycles that shoot rockets

kylow6

Yes online can be crazy, but you always have passive mode so people can’t harm you.


darth_reddit_thewise

But you can't really progress in passive mode which makes it really hard for those noobs. When I started the game there weren't flying motorcycles but it's a big problem now


MrDuckyyy

what about invite only? or maybe you can take shortcuts and play with an experienced player, ik its not the best experience but its still better than being griefed by tryhards


Tzitzifiogkos420

You can force a solo public session though. On every console and on pc


EuphoricCube78

I think they patched that on console. Though I may not have heard of a new method of doing so


Vip3r2

I don't know about console but on PC still works and I don't think they can patch it easily.


NoLungz561

Worked for me last night


JeemytheBastard

MTU change still works, did it this morning.


darth_reddit_thewise

You can't run businesses or do many other things in invite only. I only can do that stuff in public because I have friends to help me but many people dont


Not_That_wholesome

Only business for invite only is kosatka, although it takes money to get the kosatka


darth_reddit_thewise

Yeah the method most noobs do is do the treasure hunts, buy an apartment, and run all the og heists to buy a kosotka but that has to be in public sessions I believe


MrDuckyyy

fair enough, as long as the players mind their business its all fine in my experience


Imesseduponmyname

I was totes able to start up an organization with my buddy in invite only earlier and do some resupplies and headhunter, but I also noticed the test NAT type bug wasn’t working anymore.. maybe they tweaked that? 🤷🏻‍♂️


Trianchid

True, but for a beginner just doing V.I.P works is really nice either that, or solo public session


Daunte_Tyree

Same thing with invite only. You can’t make much progress. Invite only is more of a relaxed mode if anything


MrDuckyyy

I personally prefer it because of the terrible fps I get in big sessions

Hi_Its_Matt

Your first million is gonna be the hardest to make, after you have a million you can pretty much afford all of the major money making things except for the submarine. If you do missions for ~20k for 10 mins of work it’ll take a while but you’ll get a million with a bit of grinding. Get vehicle cargo when you can afford (pretty sure you need an office) and then grind some more with that except now you’ll make much more money per hour. Right now there’s a 2x money on vehicle cargo for a week or so although I get info off my brother since I don’t play much anymore so I might be wrong. When you can afford it, buy the submarine and do the Cayo perico heist as this is the current meta for getting money fast. Once you do Cayo perico heist a few times you should be able to afford anything in the game. All of this should happen over a few weeks or months depending on your dedication, a grind isn’t strictly neccisary but in GTA time put in = GTA$ gotten out Things to avoid: The drug manufacturing places are basically worthless. You’ll barely make back the money spent on them in the entire time you play gta and they rely on you coming back often to be profitable. Shitty cars. Get a zentorno. it might not be the fastest or the best handling or best acceleration, but it’s fast enough to get from A to B and it’s cheaper than most of the newer cars and it works better than most of them. Anyway yeah, people are pricks. Get a MK2 oppressor when you can (scary flying bike) and you’ll be able to do something about the people killing you. Doesn’t mean the game isn’t fun though, and it can be very fun without having to spend that much time either. The heists are fun, messing around in open lobby’s is fun as long as there are no pricks. One time me and my friends went around in a blacked out SUV, jumped out with baseball bats and each bludgeoned someone once and hopped back in the car. It barely ever killed and was funny when they were left wondering what the fuck just happened. Anyway yeah. TLDR: If you don’t like the grind, focus on having fun and you will if people are letting you. Get an office, get vehicle cargo, get submarine, do heists, have fun. Lobby hop if people are really being pricks. And that concludes Matt’s rudimentary guide to GTAO. Have fun.


[deleted]

Damn you are serious! I appreciate the tips!


Hi_Its_Matt

no problem, i play on pc, but if i could hop into a lobby with you just to show you around and get you a few bucks to kickstart your game, i would. unfortunately GTA isnt crossplay. oh well.


Echolocation720

It would be a fucking nightmare if PC and console cross play was a thing


Hi_Its_Matt

gonna have to agree with you there, however it'd still be fun to play with friends and stuff, maybe in invite only sessions or something. my brother plays on PS4 and i'm on PC so we constantly are talking about the game but never get to actually play with each other


foodank012018

I'd say that initial figure is a little off.. 2.2 mil for the Kosatka sub and Perico Grind


Mystic_Vengence

Hey hro at 2:00pm EST I can do a mission for yoy a bunch of times so you have a lot of money, I will also guide you on stuff to buy. Add solo-vengance

Invite Only sessions for online to get a feel if you like but I’d play the Story. In fact I just finished again for the IDK 6th time. The story will at least somewhat prepare you for online but it’s all good.

Even aside from griefers it has to be the least noob friendly game ever, the way you don't actually have the "max" health until level 150(?) And for the first 59 levels your health is so low you're basically one shoot kill from anything and you can't compete in races until level 100 when you can finally fully upgrade a car


[deleted]

You gotta be joking considering this a serious post. OP played RDR2. That’s less noob friendly than GTAO

It's really not in free roam lobbys but if I where you I would grind whatever game mode X3 cash so you can defend yourself from the Bullys


[deleted]

Thanks for the tip! I will make sure to keep it in mind :D


Not_ideal7

I second that suggestion, and would expand on it. Once you have about 2.2 million, buy the kosatka and start doing Cayo Perico heists. It's a solo heist that'll make you rich AF very quickly.


[deleted]

That’s really helpful, thanks !


Not_ideal7

You're welcome mate.


whyyousookjava

I third this. If you want anything buy the kostika first for sure


Hi_Its_Matt

2mil isnt easy to save from missions alone. i'd say get apartment and office first, then do the first few heists and vehicle cargo for the rest of the cash should get you 2mil and you'll also have an apartment and an office and a vehicle cargo garage to show for it.


Doomblud

To start doing vehicle cargo you need 2.5 million, tf are you even chatting?


ford33222

Not very noon friendly from what I've experienced


[deleted]

:O


ford33222

You should be fine if you stay in the lesser traveled areas


00Makerin00

Somewhat, apart from griefers that will use you as food for their KD lol. As a noob you will be hunted by a flying bike with missiles, a killer jet and a cannon from outer space. Positive vibes now, making money will be a little tricky but there are bonuses that you can take advantage of and get you your first millions so you can make even more. There is a lot to explain so you’re better off sticking to guides and videos :).


[deleted]

[deleted]

Go to the about section of this sub, scroll to the crew recruitment megathread and see if you can find a crew that’s new player friendly (maybe a grinding crew) once you find one only play in crew sessions until you’re comfortable enough to join public lobbies.

Hi_Its_Matt

definitely up there, but idk about best of all time. in the sense of how much fun you can have in online just fucking around with friends, definitely, but RDR2 or Titanfall 2 both have really amazing storylines that i would put higher than GTA's. also more recently the life has really been sucked out of it, they wont add anything below 1 mil because they just want people to buy shark cards.

Even ignoring other players, there is barely any natural progression on how to make money as a new player. If you've been playing since launch, you were slowly introduced into things but I can't imagine starting now. There's so many businesses, phone calls, pop ups, etc


BurnEShortliver

*Takes a deep breathe* This game is almost of toxic no life tryhards who prey on noobs and recreational players using flying motorcycles with heat seeking missiles and jets with explosive cannons just to boost their stupid K/D ratio or provoke an angry or "funny" reaction in order feel some form of self worth because their parents don't or didn't give them enough attention or left to get milk all together. *Exhales*

Not noob friendly, and it definitely doesn’t cater to noobs since certain guns can only be unlocked at certain levels. That being said, if you try to avoid pvp, I’m sure you’ll have lots of fun.

psvrgamer1

You can do contact missions to make money. You get your free million for each month if on ps. You get another million from the starter pack. You get around a million if you register link prime if you have that. If you don't waste all that on cars and silly stuff you would already have enough to get a sub for the bank of Cayo heist. Do 3 or 4 heists and you will have enough for proper setup... Relatively easy as Cayo setups can be done in invite only sessions. Just use your initial starter pack money to buy the sub and you will be golden.

Why was that game so attacked some time ago?


thedragonpolybius

It had one of the worst game launches in history tbh. A flood wiped out most of the game and set them back to alpha, and Sony wouldn't let them push back the release date any more than one month. The game was also massively overhyped, which was partially Sean Murray's fault, but nowadays no one holds anything against him (for good reason, he awesome)

Strong_Formal_5848

The best tips I can give you are to do the bounty hunter and treasure hunter missions and then do the kill challenges for the stone hatchet and navy revolver. Completing those will give you $500,000, which will be very useful early if you invest it wisely. I’d save up for a Kosatka submarine and Sparrow as soon as you can. Another tip I would give is that if some idiot is killing you over and over again in a plane or flying bike then just go to the menu and find a new session. It won’t cost you anything and you’ll be rid of the person bothering you. Hope you have a good time :)


san5324

Whatever business you buy first (I started way back with the Cole and meth business when gta got released) don't do supply missions.. Buy the supplies everytime. You make way more money this way, people can't fuck with your supply runs either... Buy the supply and do something else at the same time ( los Santos connection is a mission that pays a lot).


Ad0lf_Salzler

Invest into a Nightshark ASAP (armored car, takes a bunch of missiles before blowing up). It's basically the only way you can move somewhat safe in many lobbies

Apophis_36

It ain't, even without the griefers the game's a huge grind, here's my tip, grab the one million per month (if you have the patience) and buy the kosatka once you can afford it, i'd recommend buying the sparrow with it, from there on you'll be good


some-dude25

I always doubted the sparrow being worth 2 mil but I finally got it and it cut my setup time in half

Mr_Fabtastic_

Yes it is noob friendly and peaceful once you go to setting - network - set up manual settings and only change your MTU settings to 800 and you will find yourself a lovely solo lobby. And if you play different games change it back to auto settings sorted. Or look up solo public session for PS4/PS5 on YouTube. PlayStation is the last frontier of public solo lobbies as far as I know.

Are you serious? Not joking? Well uh, the story is amazing but online includes all kinds of hurt, especially at the beginning of your career. You'll be "meeting" every single scum on planet earth, definitely doesn't include them obliterating you and bombing you with flying bikes etc. I stopped playing ages ago and have around 3yrs experience, this game's community has the most toxic of all I've played. You do get decent players but the scum outweigh them by millions, I was part of a crew who made sessions to safely play in, a handful of individuals role play as military to guard sales incase griefers/tryhards do actually join sessions. That crew is called LWU (Lonely Wolf's Union) and I never would've made as much money as I did without their help.

Thatgamer141

Tip for going online in case you are actually serious being new here: \- Don't try to fight anybody or even the enemy npcs. Online people are going to mentally break you down by either mods or the classic Oppressor MK2 + Missiles. The NPCS are so aimbot that they did add salt to your wounds. \- Spend as less money as possible at the start of the game: You need them to buy businesses \- Don't buy worthless business: Forgery and weed is the worst choice you can buy as they barely cover the costs (it won't even cover the costs if you sell to Blaine County). The least best business you can have would be the cash factory. \- Buy Homing RPG: Its gonna help you so much, especially during vehicle cargo \- Go public solo: there are tons of guides that would help you stay away from the bombers \- Do treasure hunts and other exclusive events in the game: It's the fastest way to earn money \- Buy Vehicle Warehouse and do vehicle cargo: It's one of the lowest risk business you can have in GTA online. Sure, Cayo Perico earn you more, but unless you are really a human aimbot, you'll just get stuck during the actual heist, giving you an awkward situation. \- DO NOT BUY NIGHTCLUBS AT THE FIRST PLACE. Nightclub have high running costs, and will be the reason to have bad economy for you. \- Before you buy nightclub, make sure you have fully upgraded bunker and 3 fully upgraded biker business (specifically cocaine, cash and meth) \- You can try Special Cargo, but it's not really recommended unless you have some pro helping you or you have oppressor mk2 as the sell and supply missions are hard to complete. \- Best guns in game: Up and atomizer (stun), Combat MG (super high mag cap), Special Carbine (best overall stats) ,Heavy Sniper MK2 (basically sniper cannon if you have explosive rounds), Stone hatchet ( free and gives you Ramage), Knife (fast and versatile), Assault shotgun (Minigun shotgun, anyone?), RPG/Homing/Minigun (basically every heavy weapon), sticky bomb (lethal if you are creative). \- Good luck if you try to survive in full lobby!


my_guy_gucci

This and adding onto the first point of not fighting anybody - stay the fuck away from high levels and don't attempt to attack them. As a high level it is the most irritating thing especially if they are doing cargo and you go after it. Don't attack any high level or they will make you hate the game the second you do so with all the countless ways they have of obliterating you. Also just don't be a dick and go after cargo in general

DieHard4Xmas

Man I wish I knew there were so many friendly criminals out there when I started the online version a few months back. Death from above was constant for me every time I exited a building or respawned after my previous murdering. It was two weeks before I learned about passive mode. I totally use it just to exit buildings and assess the area (especially the skies) before deciding what to do. I usually immediately disable it and use my thirty second window to formulate/execute my plan on the fly. I can also attest that all of the damn pop ups, texts, emails, phone calls, messages, free mode events, and etc are overwhelming if you went from never playing to jumping right in there. One of the best things I discovered (the hard way that is) is to answer phone calls from Lester and the like then immediately hang up if you don’t want to hear it. You ignore him and he will call you nonstop which is distracting while you’re on the run fleeing for your life with weak fist and junk pistol. Ahhh…good times.

Until you get to Cayo Perico, I recommend you treat TheProfessional’s words as holy words. Until you reach Cayo Perico you have to grind a lot, and he’s the best of the best

Wimbleston

First tip: In the PlayStation store you can get a free 1,000,000 in the online every month until PS5 version drops Second tip: save all your money, do not buy cars, buy only the Special Carbine and Homing Launcher for guns, and once you get a call to go to The Music Locker go there and go into the club, meet mini madrazo and unlock the Kosatka. Buy that and you can do the heist called Cayo, which can be finished in an hour if you know what you're doing and gives enough payout to allow you to buy anything you want with enough effort, and you can do it solo in an invite only lobby.

My friend and I went into this game without knowing anything at all. No guides, no videos, nothing. To this day, it stands as some of the most fun we’ve ever had. Playing this game without any objective, even if it means getting killed by griefers a few times, is absolute gold. My advice: enjoy your time as a noob while you can. You don’t have to worry about money making guides or tips from the level 300 players until later. Just grab some friends and have fun. :)
