Fallout 4 Player Loses Their Power Armor on the Old Ironsides Ship

For far cry 7’s rumored time limit to work, players need to constantly have an impact on it, paper mario: the thousand-year door remake fixes 20 year old mistake, quick links, what is a superyacht life, mission 1: overboard, mission 2: salvage, mission 3: all hands, mission 4: icebreaker, mission 5: bon voyage.

Unlike most entries in the Grand Theft Auto franchise, Grand Theft Online allows players to breathe life into their characters and explore Southern San Andreas as their own crime lords-to-be. Now outside the confines of the stories of usual Grand Theft Auto protagonists, GTA Online players are left to their own devices to make a name for themselves with a rising criminal empire. That, or just go have explosive mayhem with their friends.

RELATED: GTA Online: Most Important Updates In The Game's History

Thankfully, players who want a genuine GTA experience can rely on missions to give them a semblance of sanity in the game’s setting. One such quest is “A Superyacht Life,” which in itself is a series of six missions that players can pursue with up to three friends. What makes “A Superyacht Life” one of the most memorable quest lines in the hit online installment, and how can players complete it?

Available through the Los Santos Summer Special update released in 2020, “A Superyacht Life” is a questline given to a player or up to four players. This questline is primarily set in the Galaxy Super Yacht , an expensive GTA Online vehicle that players will eventually own.

Similar to other questlines in GTA Online , the ones provided in A Superyacht Life revolve around an interconnected plot point. Players must assist the quest-giver, Captain Brendan Darcy, in various duties involving the usage of the Galaxy Super Yacht. These include undersea missions, cargo retrieval, and even fulfilling the goals of high-end clients.

Accessing The Quests

Players can access "A Superyacht Life" from the Bridge of the Galaxy Super Yacht. From here, they should head to the Captain’s Workstation to load the current mission available to them.

Alternatively, players may be able to use their smartphone to call Captain Brendan Darcy and then choose a Request Job. The current available mission in the series should be made accessible to players. Both these options are available as long as players haven’t completed the questline in full.

When players access this mission, a distressed Captain Darcy informs the player that someone has stolen the yacht’s jetskis (another expensive GTA Online vehicle ) as well as important documents related to both the Captain and the players. The documents specify that they are “permanent residents of international waters.”

First, head to the Vespucci Canals, the last known location of the joyriders. The waterworks can prove tricky ground to eliminate the thieves at first, but the area provides both decent cover and a lot of openings to shoot opponents.

RELATED: Grand Theft Auto 6: Potential Benefits Of Sticking With Multiple Protagonists

The Captain will then inform players that the thieves were part of a Puerto Del Sol yacht club, which means players have to exact revenge against them. To do this, they need to head to the yacht club and sink the 10 boats located there. Players need to do this fast, as one of the boats may attempt to sail away from danger. This second objective is tricky, as this part of the mission is done with a Wanted level that doesn’t lower. The yacht club also has medium-level Security Guards. Moreover, the mission is only completed once players lose their Wanted level as well.

After a successful encounter with thieves, the Captain sends players to their second Grand Theft Auto mission . "Salvage" resembles a more modern take on sea exploration, albeit with a dash of wanton violence. The Captain informs a player of a distress call that has come from a sunken supply ship, the Olifantus, not too far from them. Should they make it in time, they will be able to retrieve the cargo and the loot for themselves.

Retrieving Supplies

Players are first directed to a dredge barge just south of the yacht. Go underwater towards the shipwreck and slowly retrieve the supplies. Players can’t stay underwater for too long, though. They are able to rise and swim back courtesy of Rebreathers, around 10 of which are provided. Players may also use their own scuba suit for this portion of the game.

Dealing With The Kkangpae

The Captain, via a call, congratulates the player after their retrieval of the cargo. Unfortunately, the sound of glass breaking can be heard, as well as the implication that part of the cargo has been stolen. Players have to go back to the ship, only to see it hijacked by the Kkangpae. They will also notice some enemies riding Dinghies circling their yacht. The confrontation with the Kkangpae is tricky, as players find themselves surrounded. There is no time limit for rescuing the Captain though, so players can take their time.

After eliminating the Kkangpae, players will receive a call from an unknown number with the Captain on the line. He will explain that the Kkangpae took him and the bartender hostage as revenge for the yacht destruction in the previous mission. Players will be directed to a peninsula near Cape Catfish, with one area designated as a hostage site. Be careful during this portion of the mission, as the player's travel towards the peninsula will have them encounter various Kkangpae. Not only that, they need to steer clear of the hostage site, as the Captain and bartender will be executed once players are seen at a particular distance. Eliminating the hostiles stealthily will complete the mission.

The adventures of the players and the Galaxy Super Yacht take a wilder turn fitting the Grand Theft Auto name courtesy of the third mission. When players accept their mission, the Captain tells the player of a business deal they have to salvage involving the Pacific Country Club. Apparently, an unknown party has started setting club members' cars on fire, and it’s up to players to stop this. Despite its straightforward nature, the mission has a particular complexity that players need to consider.

Stealing The Tula

First, go to the LSIA to steal a Tula (an aerial firefighting plane) from the coast guard before the fire department is able to respond to the situation. When players arrive at the airport, around 10 Coast Guard members are patrolling the area. Players will notice stealth visibility cones in their minimaps, all from the Coast Guard members. Players need to steal the Tula quietly, as getting spotted will give players 2 Stars in Wanted levels.

Once players do steal the Tula, they will notice a new part of the HUD: a “Water Remaining” gauge. Players need to land on water periodically to refill it, and should do so until they have around eight water gauges. This serves as “water bombs” to wipe out the fire in the garage. After filling up the bars, players will get a text message warning them to stay out of this problem.

RELATED: Grand Theft Auto 6: Side Activities The Open World Should Include

Putting Out Fires

Players will notice eight burning cars when they arrive at the country club, all of which they have to extinguish. This becomes challenging as Kkangpae try to destroy the Tula from the ground. The added challenge here is that players only have five minutes to save all these vehicles.

When players finish this segment, the Captain will tell players that they need to go to the Pipeline Inn nearby to save yet another set of vehicles. This time around, players need to save six more vehicles within another five minutes while enemies try to destroy the Tula. After putting out all the fires, the Captain will tell players to bring the Tula back to the yacht for disposal. The mission ends when the player lands the Tula near the yacht.

Despite the difficulty of the mission, failing and restarting does get players next to the Tula without any enemies present. This allows them to simply load the Tula with water and proceed with the rest of the mission.

In the fourth mission, the Captain has begun formulating a plan for exacting vengeance against the Kkangpae for the previous mission’s kidnapping. This becomes a more action-packed take on the questline, akin to more standard missions in the title.

First, players have to go to the Fridgit Cold Storage warehouse inside the Cypress Flats. The mission will tell them to destroy all AC units that maintain the temperature of the gang’s products. During this part of the mission, the Kkangpae will attack players from Frogger choppers from the skies and from other rooftops. Players new to GTA Online need to be careful here, as they might be overwhelmed.

Next, players are asked to steal Benson, a product that the gang is currently preparing to deliver. The Captain will then tell players to deliver the product to the buyer themselves. During the process of delivery, the Kkangpae will still try to chase and attack the players from various directions and from different vehicles. The buyer is located in Del Perro’s Hedera Hotel, in an alley behind the structure. The mission is completed after players exit the vehicle.

Bon Voyage takes place during a heavy thunderstorm. At the start of this mission, the Captain tells players that the heavy rain has shut down both yacht’s engines and generators. Even the power onboard will go down, and the helicopter aboard the expensive GTA Online yacht explodes while waves of enemies slowly arrive.

The yacht usually has anti-aircraft systems, but the lack of electricity means they’re non-functional. Only the players are able to defend the yacht. This is perhaps the most difficult confrontation in the questline. Enemies will be coming from multiple fronts: enemies already onboard, those arriving from the sea, and those rappelling down from choppers.

There will be three waves of enemies of progressing difficulty. Unfortunately, players won’t be able to enter the interior of the yacht. However, players will continuously see Body Armor and Health pack pickups on the top deck just outside the bridge’s entry to give them the occasional boost.

After the second wave, the Captain will realize that the attackers are once again the Kkangpae. When players reach the third wave, the Captain will finally get power back on the yacht and activate the defenses. This gives players an offensive boost, as the Captain will be able to handle threats from the skies. After players clear the remaining threats from the boats and on the ground, they will finally complete the mission.

Grand Theft Auto Online was released for the PS4, Xbox One, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PS3, PC, and Xbox 360.

GTA V Last Mission: Endings

Grand Theft Auto V has three possible endings that you can choose from, each with significantly different outcomes for the GTA 5 last mission.

It has been confirmed that Ending C (Deathwish) is the canon ending of GTA V, and it's recommended to choose it if you don't want to lose access to one of the main characters.

70 . Something Sensible (Ending A)

Franklin has to make a choice.

WARNING: If you pick this ending, you will permanently lose access to Trevor from this point forward.

70 . The Time's Come (Ending B)

WARNING: If you pick this ending, you will permanently lose access to Michael from this point forward.

70 . The Third Way (Ending C)

Michael, Franklin, and Trevor take down all their enemies: ambush FIB agents and Merryweather mercenaries at the foundry in Murrieta Heights, then target Wei Cheng, Stretch, Steve Haines and Devin Weston.

Lester's Assassinations (Side Missions)

The following are the  GTA V's Assassination Missions given by Lester Crest to Franklin. Only the first (" The Hotel Assassination ") is required for story progression, which is why it's also listed as a main story mission above.

The other four Assassinations are optional, and it's strongly advised to play them after finishing the main storyline , in order to make the most profit out of the stock market investment.

1. The Hotel Assassination

2. The Multi Target Assassination

Lester tasks Franklin to take down four corrupt jurors that are planning to throw a class-action lawsuit against Redwood Cigarettes.

3. The Vice Assassination

Franklin must find and kill Jackson Skinner, the head of product development at Facade. 

4. The Bus Assassination

Lester asks Franklin to assassinate a man called Isaac Penny, who is about to take a controlling share in the Vapid Motor Company. 

5. The Construction Assassination

In the last Assassination, Lester tells Franklin to take down Enzo Bonelli, a mafia member turned real estate developer. 

Note:  Even though  Lester's Assassination Missions  are optional (not required for story progression), they're still counted under the main "Missions" checklist, and they're still needed for 100% completion of the game.

How many missions are in GTA 5?

Despite the GTA V in-game statistics stating that the game has 69 missions , there are actually many more missions available, with branching paths and three possible endings. 

There are actually 83 available story missions in total in GTA 5, which you can find all listed on this page. However, due to the branching nature of Heist approaches, only  74 missions  are played in a single playthrough, while the others can be accessed by selecting different paths.

So why does the game's checklist show "only" 69 missions instead of 74? Well, Rockstar has decided to not include the  "Fire Truck" and "BZ Gas Grenades" heist setups in their listing, and they also don't count the 3 optional "Family Missions" that Micheal can do. This is probably so they could make a reference to the "69" number on purpose, in typical Rockstar fashion.

What do Mission Icon Colors mean in GTA 5?

Since GTA V features three playable protagonists, the game indicates with unique colors on the map the missions that can be started by the different characters:

• A blue icon on the map shows missions that can be started by Michael
• A green icon on the map shows missions that can be started by Franklin
• An orange icon on the map icon shows missions that can be started by Trevor
• If you see a question mark on the map, it's a Strangers & Freaks  side mission.

You can also see the number of missions currently available for each protagonist when switching between them via the Character Wheel.

How to Replay Missions in GTA 5

Grand Theft Auto V features mission scoring, with specific objectives (such as time, damage, accuracy, etc.) required to achieve the  Gold Medal in a mission.

Just completing a mission will give you a Bronze Medal by default. You earn a Silver Medal by meeting at least one objective, but you must complete 100% of the objectives to earn a Gold Medal.

To improve your score, you can replay the missions you already completed, by accessing the Pause Menu and going to the "Game" tab.

It's important to note that you can complete each Gold Medal requirement in multiple playthroughs of the mission - you don't need to obtain them all in one single playthrough.

Earning at least 70 Gold Medals between Missions and Strangers & Freaks is required for the  "Solid Gold, Baby!" Achievement / Trophy .

How to Play All Endings in GTA 5

If you would like to play all three endings in Grand Theft Auto V in a single playthrough, and experience what each ending has to offer, the game allows you to do so.

After completing one of the endings, you will find the ability to play the two other endings by accessing the Pause Menu, going to "Game" > Replay Mission", and scrolling all the way to the bottom.

However, this won't change the original choice you made during the course of the playthrough.

If you're unsure on what ending to choose, it's advised to first  make a save in a separate slot after completing "The Big Score" mission. At this point, you are free to experiment with choosing and playing any of the three endings, knowing that you always have a previously saved game that you can return to choose a different ending.

Unless you want to lose access to Michael or Trevor after the end of the story, we strongly recommend choosing  Ending C (Deathwish) , as that's also been confirmed to be the canon ending of the game.

More GTA 5 Side Missions

In addition to the main GTA 5 Story Mode, GTA V also features other optional side missions and activities that can be played.

These include Strangers & Freaks missions , which involve interesting characters that Michael, Franklin, or Trevor can encounter outside the main story.

There are also many  Hobbies & Pastimes and Random Events that you can take part in if you want to fully complete the game.

Grand Theft Auto 5 (GTA V) is back and its Story Mode is more massive than ever. Know the ways of Los Santos and complete this epic open-world adventure with Franklin, Trevor, and Michael. This wikiHow teaches you the basics of playing the Grand Theft Auto V story mode.

How to Do Story Missions in GTA V

Open the mini-map and look for missions marked with letters. Blue letters are missions for Michael, green are missions for Franklin, and orange are missions for Trevor. Drive or walk over the yellow circle on the ground at a location to start the mission.

Learning the Basics

• Walking: Use the left stick on game consoles or WSAD keys on PC to move your character. Use the right stick or mouse to steer your character and change your mouse view.
• Sprint: Tap "X" (Playstation), "A" (Xbox), or Left Shift (PC) to sprint.
• Jump: Press "Square" (Playstation), "X" {Xbox), or Spacebar (PC) to jump will walking forward.
• Light melee attack: Press "Square" (Playstation), "B" (Xbox), or "R" (PC) to perform a light melee attack
• Heavy melee attack: Press "X" (Playstation), "A" (Xbox) or "O" (PC) to perform a heavy melee attack while fighting.

• Open Weapon Wheel : Press and hold "L1" (Playstation), "LB" (Xbox), or "Tab" key to open the weapon wheel. Use the left stick or mouse to select a weapon. Select the fist to go unarmed.
• Aim your weapon: Press and hold "L2" (Playstation), "LT" (Xbox), or the right mouse button (PC) to aim your weapon.
• Fire your weapon: Press "R2" (Playstation), "RT" (Xbox), or the left mouse button (PC) to fire your weapon.
• Reload your weapon: Press "Circle" (Playstation), "B" (Xbox), or "R" (PC) to reload your weapon.

• On game consoles, press and hold the down button on the directional pad to display the character switch menu. Use the left stick to select your character.
• On PC, press and hold the left "Alt" key to display the character select screen. Use the mouse to select your character.

• Enter and exit vehicles: Stand next to a vehicle and press "Triangle" (PlayStation), "Y" (Xbox), or "F" (PC) to enter and exit a vehicle.
• Accelerate: Press "R2" (Playstation), RT (Xbox) or "W" (PC)to go apply gas in a vehicle.
• Break/Reverse: Press "L2" (Playstation), "LT" (Xbox) or "S" (PC) to break and reverse while driving.
• Steer: Tap the left stick left and right on game consoles or the "A" and "D" buttons (PC) to steer while driving.
• Aim while driving: Press "L1" (Playstation), "LB" (Xbox), or "Y" (PC) to aim while driving.
• Fire weapons while driving: Press "R1" (Playstation), "RB" (Xbox) or the left mouse button (PC) to fire while driving.

• Michael is good with guns. His special ability is activating a “bullet time” effect that slows down everything around you but your shooting speed stays the same.
• Franklin has the steadiest hands when it comes to driving. His special ability is somewhat similar to Michael but only while he is driving. This makes him the best driver in the game.
• Trevor is the pilot in the group. He can maneuver aircraft with super ease. His special ability is going into “rage” mode. While in rage mode, he inflicts more melee damage and takes less damage from enemies.

• You can change clothes in the changing area of your character's safe house. The safe house is marked with an icon that resembles a house on the map.
• Just like your characters, you can also customize all your owned vehicles such as cars and motorcycles.

• To open the map, press "Options" (Playstation), the menu button (Xbox), or "P" (PC) to pause your game in display the map. Click (PC), press "X" (Playstation) or "A" to set a custom marker on the map.
• Take note of map icons. There are several map icons that will be available on the map. There are icons for missions, special events, shops, and even where your other characters are while you’re playing. Take note of these icons so you’d know where to go when you need to reach a certain location.
• You can also pin a location anywhere in the map and the game will produce the shortest path from your location to your pinned destination. Really comes in handy.

• You should also take precautions even outside a vehicle. If a pedestrian sees you doing something inappropriate – police will be contacted immediately. Same as if you do something stupid in front of a police officer.

Taking Missions

• Most of the missions are usually dangerous and involves shooting and car chases. That being said, you will need to upgrade your weapon once in a while. You can buy weapons and other combat-related stuff from Ammu-Nation.
• You should also need to upgrade your vehicles, or at least the one you always use as a getaway vehicle. I can’t stress enough how many police chases you will encounter in GTA V so it is in your best interest that you get yourself a dependable vehicle.

Finishing Story Mode

• After officially finishing the game, you can still roam around and look for easter eggs that are scattered in GTA V. The most popular ones are locating UFO’s and hunting down Bigfoot, or you can even explore the FIB Building! Go ahead, grab some heat, and have fun!
• Once you complete the game, you're ready for GTA Online. You'll be playing with other GTA players in GTA Online, so you'll need everything you've learned from the Story Mode.

Gold Medal Walkthrough of All Story Missions in Grand Theft Auto V

The storyline in GTA V consists of approximately 70 missions, the exact number depends on your choice in the course of the game. Walkthroughs of  Heists and Lester’s Assassinations are in separate sections for convenience, but Heists and the first assassination are also story missions.

All story missions, except Prologue , are evaluated according to certain criteria. The evaluation system is similar to that used in  TBoGT . The result of the mission is estimated as a percentage: the more conditions are fulfilled, the closer the result to 100%. Also, upon completion of the mission, the player is awarded a bronze, silver or gold medal.

Top 15 Mods for Custom Boats & Yachts in GTA 5

For centuries, fancy boats and yachts have been a symbol of wealth and power – and it’s no different in GTA 5’s Los Santos.

There’s something about owning their own sailing vessel that makes men and women alike happily open their wallets and purses – or risk their lives stealing a ship.

Alternatively, you can just download a mod.

If you’ve found your way here, you understand the melancholic beauty of the sea – or perhaps you just like speedy boats that go “brr.” In any case, you’ll find a lot to love in these mods.

15. Nagasaki Blazer Aqua

Check Out This Mod

The Nagasaki Blazer is one of the coolest vehicles in GTA Online.

Regrettably, it never made it into the single-player portion of GTA 5 – until now.

With the Nagasaki Blazer Aqua, you don’t need to waste time switching vehicles from land to sea. Just drive into the ocean, and the ATV will give way to a Jet Ski so you can enjoy the adrenaline of riding the waves.

It’s handy to escape low Wanted levels, so give it a try!

14. Boat-Mobile

When someone mentions amphibious vehicles, the average person will think of a car or bike that can also float on water like a boat.

But what about a boat that can also drive on land?

The Boat-Mobile is, at the same time, one of the most ridiculous and extraordinary custom vehicles I’ve ever seen.

On water, it looks like any other small boat – on land, it’s a sailor’s idea of a monster truck.

13. Shark Jet-Ski

But if you’re looking for something truly absurd, you can’t go wrong with the Shark Jet-Ski.

Imagine the fear in local law enforcement’s eyes when they see a total madman approaching on a giant shark! They might just run away instead of chasing after you.

Riding on this beast reminds me of playing Pokémon Ruby & Sapphire and riding my Sharpedo by using Surf – though this might be a little bit larger.

Welcome to Shark Week.

12. Rapid Boat

Enough with the joke boats. Let’s get into the good stuff!

Called simply the “Rapid Boat,” this graceful vessel is all about speed and style.

With enough space for only a small squad and maybe some duffle bags full of cash, this boat is perfect for a successful criminal who dabbles in smuggling.

It’ll get you and the team from point A to point B in no time, and you’ll look like a true professional as you approach the coast.

11. Aeroboat SV12 (2018)

Some people like to ride the waves.

Others want to cut through them like a hot knife through butter.

The Aeroboat SV12 flies over the waters like an arrow thanks to its sharp, thin body shape and mighty V12 Rolls-Royce engine refitted from – get ready – a WW2 British Spitfire fighter aircraft.

If it’s good for fighting fascists, it’ll be great for eluding the somewhat heavy-handed police of the San Andreas state.

Stylish, potent, and luxurious – the Aeroboat SV12 is a marvel of modern engineering.

10. Boat Thai Zing

While there has been a slight shift throughout the years, it’s evident to everybody that the mainstream gaming industry makes games primarily for a Western audience.

One way non-American or European gamers have to bring some of their personal spice to their favorite games is through modding – and the Thai Zing boat is a beautiful example.

This unusually-shaped boat takes inspiration from traditional Thai boat crafting and merges it with a modern motorboat.

The vibrant wooden textures and Thai script on the boat’s sides give it an exotic appeal – at least in the context of Los Santos – and will help diversify your seafaring vessel collection.

9. Riva Aquariva Super

A more traditionally Western but not less appealing design can be found on the Riva Aquariva Super.

Manufactured by Italian yacht company Riva, the Aquariva Super inherits many design elements from the classic Riva Aquarama, which contributes to its timeless appeal.

With sleek, elegant lines, the Aquariva Super can seduce the most discerning customers – or yacht robbers, depending on how you got your hands on this boat.

While definitely potent enough to outrun the Coast Guard if need be, this boat was built for luxury and comfort.

8. Nagasaki Vortex

My favorite type of maritime vessel has to be the hovercraft – a lightweight boat propelled forward by a massive fan on its rear.

To call it “maritime” might be a bit of a stretch.

Hovercrafts are commonly seen in swamps, shallow rivers, and coastal waters. Take one to the high seas, and the chances of getting blown away or capsized by a large wave are close to 100%.

Luckily, GTA 5 doesn’t have realistic wind physics or anything of the sort – so the sleek Nagasaki Vortex can comfortably operate like any other boat.

If you like this spiffy hovercraft, make sure to check out this US Navy Hovercraft as well.

7. USS Missouri

The polar opposite of the light and juvenile Nagasaki Vortex would be something cumbersome, unwieldy, and definitely not meant to transport a single person.

It would be something like the USS Missouri.

The Missouri – also known as the BB-63 – is an Iowa-class battleship introduced toward the end of World War 2. It was used to rain devastation on the Japanese islands of Iwo Jima and Okinawa in 1945, and later continued to see action during the Korean War between 1950 and 1953.

Now, it comes to the coasts of Los Santos to inspire the populace with its massive figure sailing slowly against the sunset.

6. US Bogue-Class Escort Carrier

Another massive chunk of metal assembled during WW2 that’ll make a great addition to the waters of San Andreas state is the Bogue-Class Escort Carrier.

Finally, you can reenact the original Top Gun!

With a detailed model, gorgeous textures, and accurate specs – from size to top speed – this add-on will turn the waters of Los Santos and Blaine County into a World of Warships match.

This mod includes ten different liveries representing multiple specific carriers, including the USS Bogue, the USS Copahee, the USS Nassau, and the USS Breton.

5. The Batboat

Everyone knows about the Batmobile – but had you heard about the Batboat?

Gotham City’s law enforcement seems chronically out-of-their-depth when it comes to any and all criminal activity, and the Coast Guard isn’t any better.

So, of course, Batman has a bad-ass boat.

This version lacks the original’s ability to submerge itself, but it looks terrific while speeding over the waves off the coast of Los Santos.

Hopefully Batman won’t mind you taking it for a ride.

4. Amels 200 Yacht

A successful criminal likes nothing more than living it up in international waters on a hyper-luxurious yacht.

Conceived by notorious yacht designer Tim Heywood and brought to life by Damen Yachting, the Amels 200 is a 60m-long leisure paradise with enough space for 12 guests – or more if you don’t care about security measures.

With sweeping exterior lines, sumptuous curves, and an athletic personality, the Amels 200 is the perfect modern yacht.

My favorite part has to be the little balcony on the side of the boat. Whether you use it to lounge in style, sweet-talk your latest conquest, or as a platform to dive into the sea – it’s simply sublime.

3. Explorer Yacht

So it finally happened.

The feds are onto you.

They have the pictures, the videos, the receipts…

They’re coming for you, and your only chance of escaping is stocking up on fuel and sailing to international waters, hoping you’re a good enough sailor to make it to Cuba or Trinidad.

It’s time to bring out the Explorer Yacht.

Explorer Yachts are designed to give their owner the freedom to roam around the world’s oceans without restrictions – hence the hull’s unique shape compared to most other yachts.

This remarkable add-on features high-quality sculpting on exteriors and interiors alike and is highly customizable in color. If you had to live in it for the next few weeks, you could do worse.

2. Sea Ray 650 Fly

The Sea Ray 650 Fly is precisely what I think of when someone uses the word “yacht.”

It’s sporty, luxurious, and looks like it costs more than I’ll make in my entire lifetime.

Released by Sea Ray in 2015, this modern flybridge boat overflows with beauty and sophistication. Every line serves a visual purpose, and they all come together to create something that looks more like a sea creature than an artificial vehicle.

This elegant beast will take you anywhere you want to go in extreme comfort and style.

1. HMS Victory

Modern boats and yachts are marvels of engineering and design – but in truth, they can’t hold a candle to the absolute swag of classic wooden ships from the Age of Sail.

Her Majesty’s Ship “Victory” was one of the largest, most devastating ships of the line in the English Royal Navy from 1765 to 1824. She served as the navy’s flagship in many operations and is the oldest naval ship still in commission.

At full sail, this enormous battleship looks downright majestic.

It’s the kind of thing that’ll make you want to leave the life of a petty criminal behind to become a glorious pirate, scurvy notwithstanding.

The Coast Guard won’t dare approach you when you have 104 cannons trained on their puny boats.

How To Make Money In GTA 5 Story Mode?

GTA 5 features a robust open world that lets you partake in several activities including buying shiny new sports cars, surviving the ensuing forces of the LSPD, completing heists, buying new businesses to run, and more.

Most of these activities require you to have a set amount of money, which, if you’re a newcomer or simply aren’t aware of all the avenues you can make money through, can be very difficult. In this guide, we’ll go over the ten best ways on how to make money in GTA 5’s story mode.

1. Rob stores

GTA 5 features the ability to rob a store including jewelry stores, convenience stores, and even clothing outlets. Get in the store and sweep the cash counter for all you can carry. You will also have to successfully evade the police to keep the cash.

2. Loot security vans

While playing GTA 5, be on the lookout for security vans that pop up now and then as part of the game’s random events . They are relatively easy to identify because of their green and white paint job. You can blow open the rear doors of these vans to loot all the cash.

Intercepting a security van will attract the ire of the law, so make sure you have a vehicle handy to quickly flee the scene

3. Purchase a business

Like its predecessors, GTA 5 allows the players to start their own business. Players will be able to buy houses, warehouses, and businesses to set themselves up as a permanent source of income.

You’ll occasionally get called upon to help out with the business, so make sure you complete these missions to keep the money flowing.

4. Find collectibles

There are several collectibles scattered throughout the world of Grand Theft Auto V. Finding these collectibles and Hidden Packages will net you unique rewards along with some extra cash. There is a total of 4 collections you can complete in the game which include:

• Letter Scraps
• Spaceship Parts
• Submarine Pieces
• Nuclear Waste

Take Chop along with you to make finding these collectibles relatively easy

5. Invest in the stock market

One of the best ways to earn big bucks in GTA 5 is by investing in the stock exchange. There are two main Stock Exchanges in the game: LCN and BAWSAQ. Check your phone at regular intervals to keep up with them.

LCN stock market is directly influenced by the events during the game. Pay attention to what’s going on around you, whenever your actions are closely associated with some company listed in that stock market. Listen to the radio for stock tips, they help.

Listen to the pre- and post-mission briefings attentively, and you might get clues about how the upcoming events will affect the stock market.

For example, during assassination missions, you will get rid of certain people to influence stock prices. This is a perfect opportunity to make some quick cash since you will be the one influencing the market.

BAWSAQ is a Rockstar Social Club-run stock market that is directly influenced by the overall GTA 5 community. For example, if the whole community decides to rob a certain car type, it will affect the stock related to it on BAQSAQ.

You can also directly affect stock prices by destroying the rival of the company you have invested in. For example, you could invest in an automobile company and then destroy the cars of all its rivals.

Similarly, if you want to buy the stock cheap and sell high: the first step would be to destroy the company’s assets; the second step would be to buy its stock because its price will be low due to losses in the first step, and finally, destroy its rival’s assets to restore its price.

6. Complete Strangers & Freaks / Random Events

Strangers and Freaks are character-specific side missions that pop up on your mini-map at different intervals. These missions are fairly simple and don’t require too much effort. At most, you will be asked to deliver a car, assassinate someone, or steal a package. Completing these missions successfully will reward you for your efforts.

Similarly, Random Events occur when you’re out and about in the world. Sometimes, you’ll witness a robbery taking place in front of you, and you’ll be asked to recover the cash. When it comes to recovering cash, you should consider an alternative. Instead of returning the money recovered, keep it because that’s more profitable.

7. Rob Citizens

While free roaming the city, you will come across many ATMs. Lurk around the area, wait for someone to use these machines and then rob them for all their belongings to get their hard-earned cash. NPCs routinely withdraw tens of thousands of dollars at once, so if you’re at the right place at the right time, you can win big.

8. Play Races

Cars and races have been a part of the Grand Theft Auto series, and they are back in GTA 5. Equip yourself with a decent vehicle and jump straight into a race for extra cash. You can participate in Street Racing and  Sea Racing and even complete a Trialathon. If you’re still wondering about how to make money in GTA 5, try this. This is one of the most fun ways to do so.

9. Find hidden packages

If you feel like swimming, you can go to the sea floor around the San Andreas area to look for hidden packages around the wreckage:

• Plane Crash
• Crop Duster Wreck
• Aged Cargo Plane
• Sunken Tugboat

10. Complete the main story heists

Nothing gets you more money than carrying out a heist in GTA 5. The peril is certainly there but it is worth the rewards. Make sure you thoroughly consider all strategies to make sure you make out with the maximum amount of money.
