How to quickly earn money and experience in GTA Online?

Rockstar has developed a very comprehensive online mode for GTA V players who are looking for a multiplayer experience outside of the story mode and roleplay. This mode offers a wide variety of opportunities, allowing players to become beginner thieves or professionals in managing bunkers, offices, or nightclubs, thus creating a lively life in Los Santos. However, it is often difficult to navigate this world and know how to invest to earn money and experience quickly. This guide provides progression hints to help players not get lost and maximize their earnings in GTA Online.

Vehicles, weapons, and first steps

To start the game, the introduction is, of course, the first step. During the first missions given by Lamar, Gerald, and Simeon, the player will discover the different activities available in Los Santos, such as drug theft, vehicle modification, races, etc. These missions will also unlock different buildings in the game, such as LS Customs, grocery stores, clothing stores, etc. By completing these missions, the player can save money as well as receive a weapon and a car. Robbing grocery stores can also be an interesting way to earn money at the beginning of the game. Quick activities, such as races, can also earn money. However, the wait time to start an activity can be quite long.

At this stage, it is crucial not to waste money and to save it to buy the first useful buildings. The basic gun is simple but effective for early missions. It is possible to steal quality cars from the streets. The first investment should be a garage to store vehicles, costing between 25,000 and 30,000 GTA$ for the cheapest. Regarding cars, the Elegy RH-8 can be obtained for free on Legendary Motorsport simply by signing up for the Rockstar Social Club.

Investing in GTA Online

Once you have accumulated around 200,000 GTA$ by performing various activities available from the beginning of the game, it's time to consider investing. The wise choice would be to buy the headquarters of a motorcycle club because it not only unlocks new missions but also allows you to acquire the first production buildings that are the most reliable and efficient way to earn money. However, it is important to note that it is better to buy the buildings at the lowest price offered because those with higher prices generally have little differences, except for their location on the map and appearance.

There are five production buildings available: the counterfeit money factory, the weed farm, the forgery, the methamphetamine lab, and the cocaine lockup. These buildings are offered at three different price levels, with a higher return for the more expensive buildings.

Invest in the motorcycle club headquarters to unlock new missions and buy the first production buildings, such as the counterfeit money factory, weed farm, forgery, methamphetamine lab, and cocaine lockup. Personal and production upgrades are important to increase production and sales. Bunkers are expensive and less profitable, while the luxury apartment can be useful for group heists.

The hangar and nightclub are not profitable investments, while the facility should be reserved for later in the game. Offices are more significant investments to purchase warehouses and vehicle warehouses, and import/export missions for cars are the best ways to earn money. Heists are the most profitable missions but require a reliable team of friends to succeed. Ultimately, these investments are essential to earn money and progress in the constantly evolving world of GTA V Online.
