Los Santos Guide • Updated 2026
After years of updates and changes, GTA Online can be overwhelming for new and returning players. This FAQ covers the most common questions we hear from the community.
Q: How do I make my first million dollars fast?
A: Complete the tutorial, do contact missions until you can buy a high-end apartment, run the Fleeca Job, then save for the Kosatka submarine. Cayo Perico Heist is the fastest path to your first million.
Q: What should I buy first?
A: High-end apartment ($205,000) → Armored Kuruma ($525,000) → CEO Office ($1,000,000) → Kosatka ($2,200,000). In that exact order.
Q: Which business is best for passive income?
A: The Nightclub. With equipment and staff upgrades, it generates $80,000-$160,000 per hour while you do other activities. No supplies needed.
Q: Should I steal or buy supplies?
A: Buy supplies. The time spent stealing supplies is better spent on activities that earn more money.
Q: What's the fastest way to level up?
A: Double RP events are fastest. Stunt races and contact missions are consistent alternatives.
Q: Is Shark Cards worth it?
A: No. A $20 Shark Card gives you 200,000 GTA dollars. The same amount can be earned in 30 minutes with Cayo Perico.
