Early money making guide

## **Securing early funding in GTA Online: The shortest route from no capital to CEO**

**The key to early economic activities in GTA Online** is to secure seed money through **one-time high-reward missions (collectibles/challenges)** and then invest first in highly efficient profit-making facilities such as **Cosatka (Cayo Perico Raid) or Office**.

### **1. One-time bonus mission (complete on the first day)**

Being a complete beginner with nothing is the best way to earn money for guns and body armor. Check your phone messages carefully.

* **Bounty hunting & Treasure Hunt:** Check the text message or email you receive from Maude, set your goal, and complete the mission. You can get **Stone Axe, Double Action Revolver, and Navy Revolver**, and if you complete the challenge to fill the number with these, they will give you **$250,000** per item. If you add it all up, you can earn close to $1 million just from this alone.

* **First visit to Diamond Casino:** Go to the casino and spin the lucky wheel every day. Sometimes you win a car or money jackpot.

### **2. Perform the 'First Dose' mission**

This mission can be started by going to the place marked **'D'** on the map.

* **Advantages:** The mission difficulty is moderate and the rewards are good. If you complete all 6, you will receive a huge truck called **'Brickshade 6x6'** for free, and this is the base for installing the **Acid Lab**, which will help you make money later.

* **Bonus:** If you complete the last mission, you will also receive a free 'Virtue', the electric car with the highest acceleration in existence. It's hard to save money to buy a car in the beginning.

### **3. Install 'Acid Lab' (First Fixed Income)**

Once you have completed the first dose, install acid lab equipment on the truck you received earlier (about $750,000).

* **Reason:** This is the easiest business to sell on your own. If you supply the ingredients, the product will be made on its own, and later you can deliver it on a motorcycle and that's it. It is the lifeline of early solo players.

### **4. Go to purchase 'Kosatka (submarine)'**

Once you have accumulated about $2.2 million, don't look back and buy **Kosatka** from the military website.

* **Cayo Perico Raid:** This is the mission where you can earn the most money as a solo player in GTA Online history. Every time you beat a game, you get over $1 million. Once you buy this, you can practically say that you no longer have to worry about money.

### **5. Other tips**

* **Be careful of public sessions:** There are a lot of regulars who kill newbies when they see them, so in the beginning, create **'invitation-only sessions'** and work on them. The profits come in the same way, so let's earn comfortably without being disturbed.

* **Check the weekly bonus:** Missions that give double profits change every Thursday. If you focus on that, your ranking and money will rise at lightning speed.

** One-line summary:** Earn a lot of money through the treasure hunt challenge, beat the first dose, run the acid lab, and the moment you buy a submarine (Kosatka), your life will flourish.
