Whether you're just starting up GTA Online or just looking for useful information, here are some valuable tips:

Whether you're just starting up GTA Online or just looking for useful information, here are some valuable tips:

  • Deposit Your Cash. It’s no secret that GTA Online can be a dangerous place. When you die, you drop some cash, so it’s best to deposit any cash you have into your bank so it’s safe. You can do this via ATMs, or via your phone’s web browser (it’s faster!). 

  • Double Money Events. Double money events pop up weekly for different things including Gunrunning and Time Trials that will net you more money than usually. 

  • Invest in Insurance. Insurance for your car means it can be replaced if it’s lost, stolen, or destroyed. It’ll be delivered to you as well - keep in mind there is still a fee for this service. 

  • Get a Garage. Even a less expensive garage will save you a lot of hassle so you can store your nice cars safely.

  • Get a High-End Apartment. As soon as you hit level 12, you can start doing heists - but you need a high-end apartment. The cheapest will cost you $200k, but it’ll be worth it to make a lot more money. 

  • Join a Crew! Earn an extra 10% in RP for each mission you complete while in a crew.

    You’ll have to either be a VIP or a CEO (can start an organization from the SecuroServ option on your phone - keep in mind you need to own an office) and own a Bunker for this one. Select the Resupply on the laptop and then choose either Steal Supplies or Buy Supplies. Next will be a mission to deliver the supplies to your bunker or have them delivered if you decide to buy. Your staff will then turn them into stock while you can go do whatever you want in the game. When it’s all ready, you can again go to the laptop and choose to sell your stock via a delivery mission.

    This method requires having access to a high-end apartment and 3 friends to play with, but it is a great way to earn a lot of money. It does cost some to start the heist, but you’ll easily recoup that money back. It’s best if you all are skilled enough to complete missions efficiently to earn the most money.

    There are Doomsday Heists that you can do if you only have one or two other people to play with, but it is more expensive to begin since you need a Facility to start these.

    Twitch Prime

    While this isn’t directly in the game, it is good to know especially if you already have Twitch Prime. You can receive $1 million GTA Cash each month you play, and another $200k for playing four consecutive weeks. If you’re already playing, it’s free money (and who doesn’t like free GTA money???). Previously you could also receive a Penthouse, so keep an eye out for if they announce any more rewards just for playing!
