Looting Vehicles

[joaquim]

Does anyone know any good places to farm vehicles. I've tried the Devilish Taxis and Lowriders in the Junkyard but got nothing. I'm currently in the process of cutting my mafia down by a lot so I wanted to see how much equipment I had that has at least 7 attack or defense. This is what I got.

Guns: 214
Melee: 117
Armor: 329
Vehicles: 48

So as you can see, I'm in desperate need of vehicle help.

buy them with respect points.

buy them with respect points.

I'm waiting for the Excelero to unlock untill I buy vehicles with respect points, but thanks anyway.

[Boom]

Keep doing lowriders it'll work trust me!

Just buy cars like the one for 35k I think it's 5attack and 4deffence. Then go loot the spiked hammer at the church in old Juan and get 13attack and 8 deffence at a better real drop rate.

I farm double deckers 18/14
I have about 16 of them

[Hank]

Gun safes seem to be giving me the best drop rates around...up to 64 enhanced bikes

Buy the camaros for a quick fix and worry about topping your vehicles out later as you go

Not bad how long have you looted them?

(If i'm wrong on any of my math, please call me out so I can fix it promptly or just be quiet all together)

The spot I went to before I realize just how low the drop rate was:

Chinatown - Tea House
Description: Set up Opium Trade
Energy Required: 190
Equipment Requirement: 14xMace = $44,800
Reward: Armored Police Van (4/19)
Drop Rate: .03 per click/per 1,000 energy: .16
Average energy for 1 drop: 6,250

Even with 6,250 per drop I still managed to pull together 20 before I unlocked other areas with armor that I could farm, and they are also PVP loot, but then you still have to see if the other player even has them.

The other vehicle i'm attempting to get is:

Empire Airport - City Bus
Description: Hijack
Energy Required: (3x215 = 645)
Equipment Required*: 62 x Street Knife, 21 x Fire Axe ($660,000)
Reward: Double Decker (18/12)
Drop Rate: .1/per 1,000 energy: .16

Average energy for 1 drop: 6,250

Honestly I feel like my math is flawed on the average because I managed to obtain 15 police vans this way (the rest from PVP) and I've already secured 1 Double Decker from the City Bus. Neither of these are exactly the easiest to obtain, and in this case I would highly suggest saving respect for the Excelero or even just going back and buying a few of the Race Bikes for 325R. Honestly if you only buy 20 or 30 they can really help keep you advancing until you can start replacing your vehicles with the much more costly excelero. 13/12 for a vehicle is never bad even in the long run, I actually started putting a few more in my inventory because i was out of vehicles to keep my mafia outfitted with vehicles. To be honest, there are really not that many high end vehicles that in my opinion are "farmable" to the extent the M4A1 was, however these are the closest things that are tangible in my opinion. If you really want a vehicle to be farmed, you're only really looking at sub 10 attack and/or defense vehicles, they seem to be the only ones really that offer up halfway decent drop rates.

* I thought I spent $598,000 on these items but the spreadsheet that I have here gave me the numbers for $660,000...Maybe i'm losing my mind

Personally, I prefer dumping most RPs on CW and a little amount rest on Yamaha and sawn off to keep my status health.

A 250 mafia size player can have your stats with no problem. Which means you are extreme weak right now. And with your IpH, its hard to afford any worth cash item.

Saving RP for exelero needs you to have a very low mafia size and build your defense along with gatlings and so on. For your situation, I'm afraid it is not wise to do so...You dont want to see red news all the time right?

The tea house at Chinatown spits out a police armoured van
I get a fairly good drop rate - well when I first started it was better but you can also get this vehicle from pvp

[Sasha54]

I get a very good rate of Devilish taxis from junkyard

Also Auto Row - one of the dealerships gives a low rider and the crushed cars at the junkyard give the grey armoured van
