So a mate at work is now a billionaire in this, specifically he has $5.2 billion dollars - and it's all down to SHENANIGANS.

He was playing multiplayer over the weekend and became aware of weird stuff happening on the 'server', it started raining cars at Los Santos Autos, then everyone on the server died simultaneously and it was the same player who was shown as killing all of them.

The talk in chat was that a modder was on the server, then the message went out to go down to a certain airport building for free money, and true enough a player was making it rain money bags, he didn't get much on that occasion, just a couple of million, but was intrigued enough to find out more. The player who'd made it rain money was a member of a clan, so he went to that clan's website and had a little poke around, there were some Discord server details so he joined the server and found all the channels were very nicely organised into different activities and scams.

A message said if you wanted free money to join a specific channel and wait for an admin to turn up, so he joined that channel and once there were about 10 of them in there an admin turned up and said to join him in a game for free money. Once on the server they all went to the same building at the airport and the money raining began again, this time it carried on for over an hour. My mate just watched The Grand Tour (or whatever it's called) on Amazon, and when he returned to the game his balance was showing as 5.2 BILLION dollars.

We worked out this morning that to buy that much in-game cash with real money via Shark Cards would cost........ £49,000.

He said the whole thing was run like a proper criminal enterprise, incredibly well organised and efficient, quite ironic considering it's in a GTA game.

Just goes to show what happens when you let your players run the 'servers' because you're too cheap to provide dedicated servers, and the game is running on the PC platform so can be modded.

Tell him to buy loads of stuff immediately. There's a good chance R* will unwind the exploit and reclaim cash, but they never seem to reclaim purchases. You can buy tons of cars, wait a bit, watch your excess dodgy money evaporate, then sell the cars again.

Alternatively, they might just ban his entire account. That's a thing now. There's warnings when you sign in.

Yes that was one of the pieces of advice they gave, to put a load of cash in assets that can be sold back to vendors in the game should Rockstar come along and reclaim all the cash.

Why he carried on to a nonsensical amount like billions of dollars I have no idea, $100M would be enough I'd have thought, and perhaps less likely to attract attention.

The chat he heard suggested that they tend to do a sweep of cash reclaiming when there's a new wave of DLC ready to drop, but beyond that not much tends to happen.

I know nowt of the multiplayer. Do you need to grind money for missions and stuff? Can you do the mishes solo? Are there mishes, I’m assuming there’s something to do besides roam about shooting randoms.

The multiplayer content is entirely made up of stealing cargo planes.

Sooooo, there’s DLC missions to play through? There isn’t an overarching story or nothing, just can you do X, Y & Z?

Sort of. You can do "jobs", which are along the lines of "You and some randos (or on your own, if you want) go here and kill everyone and then go here and pick X up then go here to drop it off". Or you can race against randos, or shoot randos, and stuff like that.

You can also do a "heist" which are four-player harder missions which involve planning and teamwork. There's a new one of them dropping tomorrow, which is why people are excited.

Or you can just dick around with your mates in one of the most lovely sandpits ever created.

Ahh, it’s the Heists that I was interested in. How many of these Heists are there now then? Is there a significant number of these available or not?

5 right now. You'd have to play a bit before you could go on one, too (but only a few hours, I reckon).

It got a new hip hop radio station too!? That’s so cool.

They must be making a killing from those shark cards.

They were up to $500M a while ago, as memory serves.

Was ok. Not as well done (and far easier) than the Pacific bank job, for example. However that didn’t have flying deloreans.

The buy in is expensive. I had to get a nuclear bunker first, the cheapest of which was the only one I could afford at 1.2m. Then the funding was another 65k. This put us at the northern tip of the island so a hell of a lot of driving.

However! It is titled Act I, so there will be more to see here.

I think it was my favorite heist actually, mainly because the DeLorean bit was so fucking awesome.

I must have the delorian. Also enjoyed completing large parts of one mission by simply flying a Chinook back and forth at an extremely leisurely pace, some times carrying a muscle car, sometimes an ambulance.

I don't think the DeLorean will be as good when it's not in the Heist.

We probably would have done it quicker had we not done the obligatory stealth mission with grenade launchers.
