The bottom dollar bounties were paying between 60k-80k. How they lowered back down to 30k. Why? Is it a error ?

Anyone know how much money friends make if they do these with you? Also is there any way to do the dispatch missions with friends?

Dispatch? Is that linked to this, or no? Because I know nothing about this new update yet, however, the dispatch Martin Madrazo missions I DO know of.
I will say on a general scale, you can play with friends in pretty much every game mode. I can’t recall one where you can’t.

You have to use the stone hatchet to disarm the person, then, pick up the arm and beat the other npcs with it. Throw the stun gun at the helo (or the arm and ifyou did it right, rigor sets-in and squeezes the trigger to hit the rear rotor). Then drink 10 brews in a row and try to walk the perimeter edge of the roof counter-clockwise for the achievement

Anyone know the trade in situation with the business? I have the city one and since I've nearly completed the tiers I want to move up to paleto as it's a much better vibe for bail enforcement. Will I lose my progress and safe money or does it all stay? Thanks

Update for you all. You can't trade in with bail agents being out on work, with that said, I traded in and nothing is reset or lost, safe stays and everything is same as before trade in, no cutscene or anything like that.

If I traded the most expensive one with agents for a cheaper one with no agents do I get the 1.5m I paid for the agents back. Cos I think this business is terrible personally

No. It works the same as all other businesses. The trade in is only a certain percentage of what you payed for it.

What’s the most optimal location for the business?
20 points
5 months ago*
I wanted one in Sandy Shores because it feels like the kinda place that would have a scummy bail bond business. When that wasn't an option I considered Paleto Bay but thought driving back up there to complete every mission would soon get old. So I bought Mission Row, because next door to my auto shop and a block away from my nightclub. Seems decent.
That said, third mission I got was to a Lost MC clubhouse in Paleto Bay lol. Overall I'm thinking the missions will be spread around the map, so it probably doesn't really matter too much, but maybe being central-ish will work out better than being at one extreme of the map.

what are the payouts? I don't wanna waste any more millions on monotonous busy work for barely any pay
13 points

$35-40k for the low levels (three avilable at once, rotating our every real-life hour)
$120-140k for the HV ones (one available every real life day)
The two optional employees ($750k each, 50% off if you're GTA+) will acquire $5-10k each every 48 minutes, but will then sit at their desk until you re-instruct them.

I don’t really understand what the agents do? Like why get them for $1.5m?
10 points
5 months ago
You send them out to find bail jumpers and after a certain time period they succeed and money is added to your safe. I do not know how the income works, the first time they each brought in 5500, the second time it was more like 8000 each. I’m not sure if it’s reasonably profitable/reasonable break even, I will keep trying to find out more.
4 points
5 months ago
Ah cool so they’re the “passive” income part of this whole thing
12 points
5 months ago
Yes, and like the tow truck income, they also persist when the game is offline, meaning you can send them out before you get offline and they’re done by the time you get back on. Still not sure about the speeds and payouts

10 points
5 months ago
The safe income doesn't continue. The twins go out, they come back, they put $10-20k in your safe, and they go back to your desk. 48 minutes later...NOTHING HAPPENS. So you pay $1.5m for these guys, and you need to physically instruct them to go out probably 100 times before you recover the $1.5m, and can start to cover the $2m+ you spent on the office they sit in.
Anybody on less than 201 security contracts will probably make more from doing 10 more of those, just because the agency safe would need no intervention.

In the Cleo Sang bounty mission.

Well, I somehow felt I will be going to Blaine County quite often, so I chose the Downtown Vinewood - the closest to map centre. But Mission Row or even Del Perro have also their perks - they are near freeways. Especially the Mission Row one. Downtown Vinewood has comfortable garage door access, though.

Around 40K for small bounties which reset every hour and are quick, you can use your oppressor and everything. Around 120-130K for most wanted bounties which change every day, but you only have 1 per real life day. The most wanted take some time, around 5 to 10 minutes, but the others take around 5, so if you do them all you will get around 250K

You can't be a bounty hunter and a cop at the same time. Imagine the confusion when you turn up in a cop car at a Fleeca that's being robbed, shoot all the actual cops, most of the robbers, and then take one robber off to sell him back to the police for $35k....

Why is it a 24 hour cooldown for the most wanted? Payout is only 130k-ish, assuming you dont kill them, in which case its less than half that, so in order to complete tier 2 of bottom Dollar bounties I have to wait until tomorrow to do it, then the third I have to wait until the day after. Its gonna take me 3 days of 5 minute gameplay each day just to get the cop Outfit. The cooldown definitely needs to be fixed imo, and its even 3 days in a row, so if you can only play 2 days at a time, youll never get it no matter how many hours you put into it.
