Not so long ago for GTA 5 Online the next global update "Arms Trade" has been released, which significantly expands the opportunities for players involved in business. And if earlier you could only sell drugs, stolen cars and fake documents, now you can earn money by creating and modifying weapons of various types, using them for yourself too!
Overview of the "Arms Trade" update
This update opens the way for you to the black market for weapons, where you can not only sell, but also buy various modifications and equipment of different types of weapons. The basis for creating a business will be the purchase of a bunker, in which all the main actions to create, improve, manage modifications and personnel will take place.
The bunker is not only a place to manage a business, but also a huge command center in which you can control your vehicles, and in particular an armored truck or, as it is called, a "mobile command center".
In addition to the bunker and the command center, special vehicles equipped with powerful weapons and armor.
How to start a business in the Arms Trade update?
And so, in order to start earning, you first need to invest money by purchasing equipment, a bunker, and become the chef or president of a motorcycle club. Actually, what do you want? But first things first!
1. You need to become a boss or president of a motorcycle club in order to be able to buy additional buildings, warehouses. If you haven't already done so, be sure to register your company and activate it. We will conditionally assume that you have been in a gang for a long time or have your own business, because. this feature became available in the previous updates of the game!
2. Now you need to purchase a bunker, in which all the activity for the production of modifications for weapons will take place. Your mobile command center will also be stored here, as well as some purchasable vehicles, if you wish. There are a large number of bunkers available for purchase on the map when searching for real estate, but we recommend that you purchase one of two: Raton Canyon or Chumash. In total, 11 bunkers are available for you to buy, but of all Raton is the cheapest, but it is reliably protected by mountains surrounded around. This saves you from possible air raids, of which there are a lot in the game. From here you can quickly get to the main points that will appear after the start of the missions, so, in general, this is a very good place to buy, and also cheap!
3. It should be noted right away that the arms trade cannot be the main source of income. No matter how the players build illusions, hundreds of user tests have already been carried out, which once again prove that the most effective way earning money in GTA 5 Online is still the mission of exporting vehicles and delivering cargo, which are combined and alternated with each other. If you do not have time to combine all these areas of activity, then go only to the arms trade. Here you will first need to invest well in primary purchases so that you can then receive a more or less normal income. We advise you to reinvest profits in research boosting in order to get access to all weapon modifications as quickly as possible.
4. Each research takes about 4-6 hours on average, and it also depends on the number of improvements that you have installed in the bunker. Again, if you want to level up faster, level up the bunker first! Initially, modifications will not be available to you, of which there were 45 after the release of the update (most likely, new ones will be added). You can pay to speed up research, but each such payment will cost you 225,000 bucks. That is, in order to quickly upgrade all the research, you will have to “pour in” about 10 million more!
5. For effective development, we advise you to activate research in the afternoon or in the morning, and trade in the late afternoon. Why, you ask? In the game, these two actions occupy the same queue, so you cannot activate them at the same time. For the same reason, all your workers in the bunker are involved. Suppose you decide to send most of the workers to the development of weapons. But in the future, you will be selling a lot fewer weapons, and for a longer amount of time. Here you need to think over your earnings in advance! Try to combine trading and research according to the scheme that we have presented. If there is an extra 10 million - invest in speeding up research.
6. Play with friends. If you go through missions with weapons alone, you will spend a lot more time on transportation, and in general on completing missions. In the game, most of the resupply missions are multi-player, so it will be difficult to complete them alone. Sometimes you will have to replay the mission, although this could be done several times faster with your partners.
7. In the Arms Trade update, there are no multipliers for the amount of products sold. If in other missions you were given bonuses for a large amount of goods, then here it does not affect the total revenue in any way. But on the other hand, the profit directly depends on the place where your weapons are sold. On the this moment the most profitable option is Los Santos, where you can sell weapons without modifications for 7500 bucks, and with all modifications for 10500 bucks.
Secrets and tips in the Arms Trade update
First, if you decide to purchase new military equipment, you can significantly reduce the cost of purchasing it in the mobile operations center. Complete missions in your command center, and after completing them, you will be given discounts on the purchase of various vehicles from this update. Trust me, it's worth the wait!
Secondly, when you purchase a command center, modules in it will be available to you. There are five in total, but you can only connect three to choose from. We advise you to connect such a bunch: command center, weapons and garage. In the command center, you will have access to turrets for shelling, and in the process of completing missions, you can increase their number. In the weapon room, it will be possible to quickly purchase and receive weapons with various modifications. And the garage will allow you to transport any car with you, whether it's a regular sports car or vehicles from the update, for example, an armored personnel carrier!
Thirdly, if you buy a bunker through the Maze Bank website, you will be given two more T-shirts with a cap as a gift. Small bonus, but free!
Fourthly, if you have very little money, then you can not buy a mobile command post. It is not needed for the production and sale of weapons! But it is necessary to complete missions, and for them, as a rule, they give good cash. Yes, and we have already said earlier that after completing the missions you will be given a discount on the purchase military equipment from the same update.
As you can see, the update is very interesting and global, and it requires good expenses. If you play GTA 5 Online and decide to make money, then start now, because in the future Rockstar plans to release a number of updates, where the purchase of equipment and other updates will cost you not a few million, but already tens of millions, so you need to save money already now, investing them in profitable schemes!

After choosing the location of the bunker, you will be asked to upgrade it. For an additional fee, you can customize the style of the bunker, private room, shooting range, gun cabinet and vehicles.
Bunker capabilities
When you first enter, you will be met by Agent 14, who is moving out of this bunker to a more convenient location. Although he tells you to forget about him, as if he never existed, however, as you work with the bunker, he will call you and send messages.
At the entrance and exit of the bunker you will be met by golf carts (if purchased), as well as a small parking lot for your personal transport.
If you go back, you can go to the work area, where your staff will be busy creating weapons for sale and developing modifications to your new technology. This area contains your workstation and bin control laptop.
The apartments are located opposite your workplace. There is a wardrobe and a bed.
The gun cabinet is located at the entrance to your apartment. You need to get close to them for the interaction button to appear.
Approaching the shooting range, you will have the opportunity to complete tests for weapons of the Mk II series. After successfully completing all the levels of the challenge, you will receive several T-shirts, an increase in the stock of throwing weapons and the ability to replenish supplies in the bunker. To pass the tests, try to shoot at the heads of the targets, limited bursts (3-4 bullets) and without misses. In addition, use modified weapons, for example, with a larger magazine, so as not to waste time on additional reloading.
Mobile command post
You can buy PKP on the in-game website www.warstock-cache-and-carry.com. It allows you to upgrade some weapons to the Mk II series, improve military vehicles, and also open access to special tasks, thanks to which you will receive a discount on some vehicles.
When purchasing a control panel, you will be prompted to upgrade it. It is recommended to select Custom Hauler, Command Center, Weapon Bay and Auto Repair.
The mobile command post can be used both in the bunker and in any other place. It can be called through the Interaction Menu [M]. After developing an appropriate improvement, it will be possible to place two turrets in the back of the PKP.
Weapon modification to version Mk II
You will have access to 6 types of weapons for improvement. By modifying conventional weapons, they will be replaced with Mk II, blocking access to the regular version. But you can also return to it.
The differences of the modified weapon are the ability to replace the standard magazine with special ones:
- Standard store - no benefits;
- High-capacity magazine - an enlarged version of the standard magazine;
- Tracer bullets are a smaller option compared to the standard magazine. Your bullets will be brighter and will fly out to match the colors of the weapon;
- Incendiary bullets are a smaller variant compared to the standard magazine. Sets the target on fire, but not always. If the target caught fire successfully, then the area of fire will be the same as with a Molotov cocktail;
- Expanding bullets are a smaller version compared to the standard magazine. Increases damage to targets without body armor;
- Cartridges TsMO - reduced compared to the standard magazine option. Increases damage to vehicles and armored glass;
- Explosive cartridges - a smaller version compared to the standard magazine. They explode on contact with any surface. They destroy vehicles, including armored ones, helicopters and planes with 2-4 shots (depending on their durability).
Ammunition can be replenished both through the control panel and through the Interaction Menu, except for explosive cartridges. Ammo prices for boost weapon magazines are higher. Explosive rounds are only available on heavy sniper rifle.
Modernization of the bunker and extraction of raw materials
Raw materials can be bought, but you can, of course, steal. The purchase of raw materials starts at $75,000 and below, depending on how much raw material you currently have in the bunker.
Options for the delivery of raw materials to the bunker here, of course, are also different. Here are some examples:
- Steal raw materials from altruists. We arrive at the point, kill them and take them.
- Convoy attack. Several Insurgents will accompany 1 or 2 vehicles (depending on the number of partners). Drivers can be killed with a sniper rifle.
- Destroy certain targets and then get the coordinates of the location of the raw materials.
- Destroy the helicopters, one of them may contain raw materials.
- Destroy the trucks, one of them may contain raw materials.
As in the clubhouse, you can upgrade the bunker with:
- Equipment - 1.155.000$
- Staff - $598.500
- Security - $351.000
Production of weapons and development of modifications
Development of modifications. At the moment, 51 modifications are available for development in the bunker, among them: camouflages, improved weapons for vehicles, modifications for weapons of the Mk II series, improved armor for vehicles, as well as ballistic equipment. Development is completely random, meaning you won't be able to choose what gets developed first. To skip development from the very beginning, you will need $225,000 or less, depending on how far development has progressed. During development, raw materials are spent.
Arms production. With a full bunker upgrade, a full weapon sale will start at $700,000 and go up to $1,050,000, depending on the choice of sale (in the city or outside the city). You will need at least 1 more player to sell, but as with the clubhouse, there can also be different delivery options, up to 4 players.
You can assign staff to a particular task, while the inactive one will not give you any "rewards". With the distribution of staff equally, production and development will move more slowly.
In update GTA Online « arms trade» Simple street savvy will not be enough to build a thriving business. For new dangerous missions, you will certainly need new, more powerful vehicles and weapons to deal with the feds and competitors. Deliver weapons to customers in Los Santos and Blaine County and you'll be rewarded with cash and powerful new upgrades, mods and heavy weaponry to boot. In this article we will talk about the new products that you will find in " arms trade».
It all starts with a bunker - a huge underground complex for your new business. Here any chef, boss or president of a motorcycle club can start a successful career as an arms dealer.
To carry out dangerous mobile operations, the arms dealer would need to invest in a mobile command post (MCP). Previously, only gangs of professional killers and intelligence agencies of nuclear rogue countries had such powerful equipment. The control panel can be stored in a bunker; it's modular, so you can easily set up a vehicle and weapons workshop, a luxurious living quarters, or even a command center inside. A workshop for upgrading weapons and modifying vehicles with weapons (you can even install turrets on your PKP that your fighters can stand behind) is also at your complete disposal. All this is transported by a reliable tractor, which in turn can be modified.
Vehicles with weapons are a completely new type of vehicle that you can buy and modify. Collect a whole collection of such vehicles, and take on missions the one that best suits the specific situation - from an amphibious armored personnel carrier with a gun to a mobile trailer with anti-aircraft guns to terrify all pilots. On vehicles with weapons, you can even complete tasks to sell weapons to customers.
Why limit yourself to manufacturing and selling? Put your men in white coats in charge of developing new weapons and gain access to a whole host of additional upgrades - unique weapon mods, fancy weapon vehicle mods and formidable upgrades for your mobile command post.
Rockstar Games published a series of screenshots and a piece of information on the future addition GTA Online: Gunrunning. To enter the arms business, the head of a criminal organization, the president of a motorcycle club or a VIP will need their own bunker - a huge underground hub, from where the affairs of the new enterprise will be managed.
To control operations in the field, it will be proposed to purchase a Mobile Operations Center (MOC). This HQ on wheels is made up of various modules, including an auto repair shop, weapons workshop, luxurious personal quarters and a control center, and allows you to upgrade and personalize your arsenal and modify paramilitary vehicles, including the gun turrets of the MOC itself. The mobile center can be stored in a bunker, and will move around the state using a tractor with a semi-trailer.
Paramilitary transport - separate view vehicles that can be stored and modified at will. This category includes both a cannon-equipped amphibious armored personnel carrier and a mini-air defense trailer that can cause more than one pilot to litter the territory of San Andreas with debris. Paramilitary vehicles can be taken to work as a means of cover during the operation.
In addition to the production of weapons for sale, the staff of the bunker is capable of doing other things. White Collars can be tasked with developing new types of upgrades and modifications to weapons, vehicles, and a mobile command center.
