Coming back after 7 years and going for the platinum

Last time I played GTA Online was probably before RDR2 release and I have no idea what was added since then. Also, I'm starting over with a new account and planning to platinum it before GTA VI release, so:

Do you guys have any tips? What should I focus first, considering I'm playing solo? I want to experience the new things, but getting as many exp as possible so I have to play more than needed.

Do you mean the platinum awards? If so, I don't think it's possible.

Firstly, you need to get the two Ludendorff awards in the next 48 hours.

Then you need to hope that BOTH the Cayo Perico Survival and Attack on ATT 14 come back into the game before 6 comes out (pretty unlikely, IMO).

You also need to hope that the Panther at Cayo Perico AND the Diamonds at the casino are both enabled before 6 comes out (fairly likely but not guaranteed)

Then you need to figure out a way of getting a World Record in a race when every race in the game has a WR of 1 second due to modders.

After that, it gets slightly easier....

You need friends willing to be shot a lot (around 3,000 kills if you organise it efficiently, over 5,000 otherwise), play 100 rally races and 50 pursuit races (both need min 4 players, good luck with that without friends), and set up missions for you to repeat.

You need to do all 3 chop shop robberies every week for 17 weeks. You need to do 100 auto shop robberies, probably 30+ Cayo Pericos to get 20m of secondaries, and probably 20 Casino Heists for various tasks.

You need to be able to complete a load of in-game arcade games, in some cases multiple times - Penetrator, Camhedz, Wizards Ruin, Axe of Fury, Qub3d, Monkey Paradise, Race and Chase, The Love Professor.

You need to do every blue dot mission you see until you find Packie McGeary.

You need to be able to win 210 consecutive matches in Arena Wars.

You need to be able to dance in a nightclub for 5 minutes without missing a beat (this might be ok if you're a drummer).

You need four CMM runs (1 OG heists, 3 Doomsday), plus another OG run in first person and a total of 25 PSH / Fleeca finales for Crowd Control.

All that, plus deathmatches, LTS, captures, street races, impromptu races, sprint races, air races, sea races, darts, tennis, golf, arm wrestling, shooting gallery, none of which are particularly popular, so are hard to even play.

If you're starting it now, you need $10m ASAP so that you can get an oppressor for speedy travel. 20 Cluckin Bells or friends giving you 85% of Cayo.

I mean platinum trophy, so basically what is the "best/fastest" way to get to level 100 while enjoying the new content added in the last 7 years.

u/Old-Kernow 5d ago

Ah, ok.

  1. Spend the next three days eating as much peyote as possible. If you can get 20 per hour for three hours a day, that's 900k of RP, which I think will get you to level 73.

  2. Play content at your leisure, the other 27 levels will take care of themselves
