Hostile Takeover: Merryweather Base

hi in this video we’re going through the Merryweather base variant of the
Hostile takeover VIP work in GTA 5 online for a solo 50 Grand or so
hi and welcome back my name’s Dan and I’m an old grumpy Gamer Grand Theft Auto is a truly massive
game between GTA 5 and the constant updates from Rockstar for GTA online there’s no shortage of
new content and interesting things to do join me then as we look at the Merryweather base variant
of the Hostile takeover VIP work in GTA 5 online before we dive in if you’re new to the channel we
do how-to guides news and giveaways so consider subscribing and ringing the bell this app today
so this is a wild little free mode mission that you can do whenever you have 10 minutes
spare and feel like causing some chaos if I’m honest it isn’t the easiest way to earn 50 thou
but it’s a heck of a lot of fun and can be done completely solo this works in a standard free
mode session and an invite-only Lobby sadly you can’t do this mission in a Solo or crew
session though one of the really neat things about the Hostile takeover missions is they
can be done without any purchases but before you get started I highly recommend you have
heavy automatic a motorcycle and full snacks and armor right so first things first we’ll need to
register as a VIP of some description head to your interaction menu down to securoserv then either
register as a VIP or register as a CEO and enter an organization name if you’re prompted to you’ll
see a quick notification along with the rest of the lobby assuming you’re good to go head back to
the interaction menu then go to the first option which will be securoserv VIP or securoserv CEO
VIP work hostile takeover then set the location to the Merryweather base and finally start you’ll see
a new market pop up on the map so head on over once we get close we want to hang back a touch
and do a little bit of an assessment what’s the best method for Ingress how’s the egress can we
see any potential threats and is there anything in the way and most importantly how can we get
as close to the briefcase as possible without attracting attention now I’ll be honest I’ve
tried this a number of different ways with varying degrees of success but the best method I’ve found
which is to say the least ineffective is to head to the very western side of the compound and ride
down until you get to the end of this large lean to thing with the vertical planning jump off the
bike make sure you’ve got full health and armor then lock in your heavy Auto and Peg the guards
just inside the door inspect the Gantry for guards then start making your way through the place we’re
heading for the office at the top of the Gantry so make your way up the stairs then through the
door where you’ll meet some more resistance and then finally into the main office once you’ve
collected the briefcase make your way down the stairs post haste jump on your bike then get
the heck out of Dodge now here’s the fun part the getaway to be honest as tempting as it is
to engage the cops SWAT the Army Merryweather or whoever else turns up you really don’t want
to just drive as fast and as well as you can and if you get wasted don’t worry too much just make
your way back to the briefcase collect it and grab the closest vehicle you can to get moving
as quick as possible you’ve got time so use it and most importantly Don’t Panic now unlike a
lot of other VIP work you don’t have to lose your attackers here just head to your drop-off Point
regardless of any opposition once you get there drive into the yellow marker and you’ll get a cool
50 Grand or so dropped in your account and any remaining warrant size will be immediately cleared
after that you’ll have a bit of a cooldown and you’re good to go again and thanks for watching
