Molotov The Bear 0 Report post Posted March 23, 2005 It's really not that hard. If you keep doing the other stuff during the time doing the Booze run mission, your rank should go up and the # of bottles you can carry will go up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Iron Nick Report post Posted March 23, 2005 I get the wine running first mission thing, and it expects me to run 2 bottles across country 50 times? Fuck that noise. At the Scum level it's just two but at Pee Wee it's 5 and at Thug (where I am right now), it's 10, so it's a lot easier. I now have 35 bottles. By the way, buying wine in NYC before selling it in California for an higher price is good as it helps cover the expenses. How much do we get when it's done? I hope it's worth it.

Der Kommissar 0 Report post Posted March 23, 2005 By the way, buying wine in NYC before selling it in California for an higher price is good as it helps cover the expenses. I am not sure how much more it would cost in travel expenses, but wine is even cheaper in Louisiana. As a matter of fact, I have made a decent chunk of change buying rum in California and selling it in Louisiana, then buying wine in Louisiana and selling it in California.

It differs, I think. I think I got like 280k and 4,000 bullets. I did that too (buy wine in NY and sell it in Cali, then buy wine in Cali for the mission), works great.

Guest Iron Nick Report post Posted March 23, 2005 Oh, I didn't tought about where you were located. I'm in NYC so... But I really recommand buying the cheapest stuff in your local place and selling it for the highest price where you go for the mission. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I didnt bother going amywhere besides back and forth between Cali and NY, but that works too. Wine in NY's like $80 and you can sell it in cali for like $150 (when I did the mission) which helped make mission money back pretty easily. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Iron Nick Report post Posted March 23, 2005 Last time the wine in NY was about 74 and in Cali was 295, pretty good I think. By the way, I don't have a gun yet, but since I'll have bullets, are bullets good for all kinds of gun? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Special K 0 Report post Posted March 23, 2005 Quicky: besides starting the mission, pickpocketing and playing blackjack, is there anything to do as a Scum? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Molotov The Bear 0 Report post Posted March 23, 2005 By the way, I don't have a gun yet, but since I'll have bullets, are bullets good for all kinds of gun? Yeah. And for the missions where you have to kill people, just buy the cheapest gun (Highstandard .22), you dont need anything fancy. Quicky: besides starting the mission, pickpocketing and playing blackjack, is there anything to do as a Scum? You should be able to do the other gambling games. But aside from that and Booze running, not really. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Iron Nick Report post Posted March 23, 2005 Being a Scum is very boring. Once you're a Pee Wee it's a little better but not that much. Thug is kinda cool though, especially since yesterday at the same time I was just pickpocketting (and making huge money, like 4 bucks, oh yeah). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest 5.0Fanatic Report post Posted March 23, 2005 I just leveled up to thug and made an assload in stocks, I bought like a hundred shares each of gillete and arrowhead, and withen an hour or so they went up like 25 points each. I got like $17000 which is easily the most money I've ever had. I also go tthe .22 and a Doberman watching my back Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jingus 0 Report post Posted March 23, 2005 Does this game let you play for free forever, or does it do the "one month gratis THEN PAY, YOU FREELOADING SCUM" bullshit that Gang Warz did? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Ill One 0 Report post Posted March 23, 2005 Forever. It just does the whole "if you want special points, send money." Once you get past the first mission and stop being pee-wee it's really fun. Edit: Just sold my thirty-something cars back into the game with the Duesy and Beaufords for sale to players. The only frustrating part of the game I've ran into is when you go into the shooting range. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Molotov The Bear 0 Report post Posted March 27, 2005 Does this game let you play for free forever, or does it do the "one month gratis THEN PAY, YOU FREELOADING SCUM" bullshit that Gang Warz did? The game's technically still in "beta," but they've been in beta for a year+ now so I dont see that changing anytime soon. Right now the game lets you play completely free. The only real problem is the "resets" that happen every once in awhile. That's why they setup the Swiss Bank because if/when they have to reset again you can save all your money in the Swiss account and keep it after the reset.
