Are you a grinder in GTA Online? Let me show you a smart method to do VIP work.
What is the Wave Method?
The Wave Method was originally detailed in a Reddit post. It's a certain sequence for basic VIP jobs which let you shorten or bypass the cooldown periods between them. It involves 3 types of VIP work: Headhunter, Hostile Takeover and Sightseer. The method helps the player with two types of cooldowns:
- the time between the same VIP jobs (10-20 minutes),
- the time between two different type of VIP jobs (5 minutes).
The game changed a lot since 2016, and it affected the cooldown times, too. It means the original method needed a little a tweak.
My sequence for the Wave
- Start a Headhunter and complete it.
- Wait for the 5 minute cooldown to pass.
- Start a Hostile Takeover and complete it.
- There should be a 5 minute cooldown but if Hostile Takeover took you more than 5 minutes to complete, you should be able to start the next one right away.
- Start a Headhunter and complete it.
- Wait for the 5 minute cooldown to pass.
- Start a Sightseer and complete it.
- After you completed it, you can start another Headhunter without cooldown.
- Repeat steps 1-7.
What I use
To earn the most money you need to complete the VIP jobs fast. I mostly use a Hydra for the missions, but an Opressor MK2 or a Buzzard will do.
If you are a lower-level player with less resources, you can find Buzzards in the usual freemode spawn places (helipads), or you can steal a Lazer fighter jet from the Fort Zancudo base after you called Lester to keep the cops away from you.
One more thing: I usually start the missions from the city, and the Hostile Takeover from the LSIA.
