Summary of "My Top 10 Best Investments In GTA 5 Online! (Solo Player)"
Top 10 best solo-player investments in GTA Online
Overview
- This list is a summary of a creator’s top 10 recommended purchases for solo GTA Online players. Each entry explains why it’s worth buying, how it helps with money-making or efficiency, and gives practical tips and numbers (payout ranges, cooldowns, workflows) where relevant.
Top 10 investments (in order)
1) Kosatka submarine
- Why buy: Grants access to the Cayo Perico Heist (the creator’s top solo money method) and stores the Sparrow helicopter.
- Money / time: Solo payouts roughly $800k–$1.6M. Solo runs take about 45–60 minutes with a ~2.5-hour cooldown.
- Tip: Use the Sparrow to speed up prep and exits to grind the heist faster.
2) The Agency
- Why buy: Offers four money streams and useful services.
- “Dr. Drake” contract (large multi-mission heist): ~ $1.1M payout in ~1.5 hours solo.
- Security contracts: short 5–10 minute missions paying ~$30k–$60k.
- Payphone hits (unlock after 3 security contracts): assassination missions that can pay up to ~$445k with ~10-minute cooldown.
- Agency wall safe: passive daily deposit that scales with completed security contracts (up to ~$20k/day when maxed).
- Other benefits: Armory (Mk II weapons/upgrades), vehicle workshop (armor/lock-on jammers), reception services (limo fast travel, free heli).
- Tip: Combine security contracts, payphone hits, and the wall safe to maximize income.
3) Acid Lab + Nightclub (paired)
- Acid Lab
- Unlock: Requires completing specific missions/story chain and meeting buy requirements (as described in the video).
- Income: Creator claims up to ~$100k/hr solo with simple resupply and sell cycles.
- Nightclub
- Income streams:
- Nightclub wall safe: up to ~$50k per in-game day at max popularity.
- Nightclub warehouse (via hired technicians): up to ~$50k/hr if all 5 technicians are assigned and equipment is upgraded.
- Combined claim: With the acid lab and nightclub optimized, the creator states roughly ~$200k/hr passive is possible.
- Extra: Owning a nightclub lets you buy the Terrorbyte and ties into upgrades for the Oppressor Mk II.
- Income streams:
- Tip: Keep nightclub popularity and technician assignments optimized for steady passive income.
4) Oppressor Mk II and Sparrow aircraft
- Oppressor Mk II: Exceptional mobility, handling, and missile-equipped loadouts — ideal for missions, travel, and combat.
- Sparrow: Very fast helicopter (stored in the Kosatka); useful for speeding up Cayo Perico prep and travel.
- Tip: Prioritize the Oppressor Mk II for mobility; add the Sparrow if you own the Kosatka.
5) Auto Shop
- Values:
- Auto Shop contracts: short heist-style jobs (~20–25 minutes solo) with typical payouts of ~$150k–$170k (some exceptions higher).
- The shop: unlocks all vehicle mods and allows cheaper customization.
- Tip: Use the Auto Shop both as a steady heist source and as a place to modify cars affordably.
6) Personal Quarters
- Benefit: Set your spawn location at a chosen property. In an invite-only session you can “session warp” to that property in ~5–10 seconds.
- Tip: Buy quarters in frequently used businesses to save significant travel time.
7) High-end apartments
- Primary value: Enable AFK methods that keep passive businesses producing while you’re away (the game continues to register you as online).
- Tip: Use location-specific AFK methods (spectating, cutscenes, etc.) to let nightclubs/MC businesses and other passive sources run while you do other tasks.
8) Salvage Yard
- Income streams:
- Salvage Yard robberies (heist-like finales): pay ~ $250k–$500k each, available once per real-life week, take ~45–60 minutes.
- Tow/salvage missions (using a tow truck): payouts around ~$30k–$65k each.
- Salvage Yard wall safe / passive payouts: small passive income scaling with towing activity.
- Special feature: Claimable vehicles — sometimes stolen robbery vehicles can be bought cheaply (reported ~$10k–$20k) even though they normally cost $1M–$2M+, saving you millions over time.
- Tip: Run timed robberies and check robbery finales for low-cost buyouts to recoup the Salvage Yard cost quickly.
9) Arcade
- Reasons to buy:
- Unlocks the Diamond Casino Heist (replayable heist content).
- Master Control Terminal (MCT): centralizes management — resupply or manage nightclub, MC businesses, vehicle/special cargo, hangar cargo, etc., from one terminal.
- Note: The Terrorbyte can also include an MCT, so the Terabyte and Arcade are comparable in function.
- Tip: If you value centralized business management and repeated heist runs, the Arcade (or Terabyte) is time-saving.
10) Armored vehicles & weapons
- Vehicles: Duke o’ Death (free/early option) and Armored Kuruma (creator’s preferred choice) — both offer heavy protection for missions.
- Weapons: Prioritize high-impact weapons such as Combat MG, Special Carbine Mk II, Assault Shotgun, Railgun, Machine Pistol, and Mk II upgrades where useful.
- Tip: An armored vehicle plus the right weapons dramatically speed up mission completion and survivability — essential for efficient grinding.
Other practical tips and recurring themes
- Passive income and time efficiency are core: buy properties and upgrades that let you make money while offline or reduce downtime (personal quarters, AFK-friendly apartments, MCT).
- Prioritize the Kosatka/Cayo Perico Heist and Oppressor Mk II for fastest solo money and mobility.
- Use the Arcade/Terabyte MCT to centralize resupply/management and avoid traveling to each business location.
- Claimable vehicles from the Salvage Yard can quickly recoup its cost — check robbery finales for low-cost buyouts.
- Combine short contracts (Auto Shop, Agency security/payphone) with passive production cycles to maximize hourly returns.
