Nightclub

A separate warehouse operated by technicians. Upgrades in linked businesses do not speed it up — the Nightclub's own Equipment Upgrade is what matters.

Nightclub: from meeting Tony to a warehouse sale

BUSINESS STEP BY STEP • COMPLETE WALKTHROUGH

A complete route separating three easily confused systems: club setup and popularity, the technician-dependent warehouse, and the separate sale of accrued goods.

Start here

The correct menu, location and first entry point for the Nightclub.

Location

Find Tony Prince's T marker on the map, then buy one of ten locations through Maze Bank Foreclosures.

Marker

After purchase, your Nightclub has its own club/music marker. Use the main entrance and meet Tony in the office.

What to do there

Register as CEO/VIP or MC President, use the office computer and complete all three Setup items before normal management.

If the start is missing
  • If T is missing, check map-blip filters and Tony's message; the property purchase does not require another warehouse first.
  • If the computer is locked, finish active work and register an organisation or MC.
  • Do not confuse the first DJ with a warehouse technician: Solomun opens the club, while a technician handles basement goods.

From zero to the first payout

Buy the club, complete Staff, Equipment and Solomun, then separately start one warehouse category with a technician and an active feeder business.

  1. 01
    1. Meet Tony and buy a NightclubThe cheapest property costs $1,080,000; decor and extra floors do not block opening.
  2. 02
    2. Setup: StaffCollect three staff members from their marked points and return them in the club vehicle without destroying it.
  3. 03
    3. Setup: EquipmentRecover the required club equipment and deliver it to the service entrance.
  4. 04
    4. Setup: SolomunCollect Solomun at LSIA and bring him to the club to finish opening.
  5. 05
    5. Provide an active feederComplete setup for at least a Bunker, Hangar/Special Cargo or one of the five MC businesses; an unconfigured purchase is not enough.
  6. 06
    6. Assign a technicianIn Warehouse Management, choose the matching category and assign the first free technician.
  7. 07
    7. Accrue and sell the first batchAfter goods appear, choose Sell Goods and complete one delivery in an invite-only session.

The three club-opening jobs

Every step states the objective, actions, completion condition and a safe way back after a mistake.

  1. 01

    Setup — Staff

    Goal

    Collect the three people who form the club's initial staff.

    Key actions
    1. Launch Staff from the computer's Setup list.
    2. Drive the club vehicle to each marked person and wait for them to board.
    3. Return to the yellow point at the club without abandoning the vehicle.
    Completion point

    Tony confirms the crew and the Staff item becomes complete.

    What it unlocks next

    Allows the remaining opening items; it does not start warehouse technicians yet.

    How to recover the run

    If a staff member will not board, stop close to the marker and clear immediate threats. If transport is destroyed, relaunch Staff from the computer.

  2. 02

    Setup — Equipment

    Goal

    Deliver the lighting and equipment required to open the venue.

    Key actions
    1. Select Equipment on the computer and travel to the marked equipment vehicle.
    2. Secure the vehicle and exit route before leaving.
    3. Deliver the equipment to the club's service point while ignoring respawning pursuit.
    Completion point

    On reaching the point, equipment unloads and the Equipment item becomes complete.

    What it unlocks next

    Prepares the physical venue; the first DJ remains.

    How to recover the run

    If the vehicle gets stuck, recover it only while still functional. If destroyed, return to the computer and relaunch the job.

  3. 03

    Setup — Solomun

    Goal

    Collect the first resident DJ and complete the official opening.

    Key actions
    1. Launch Solomun after Staff and Equipment.
    2. Travel to LSIA, take the marked vehicle with the DJ and follow HUD instructions.
    3. Bring Solomun to the club and complete the opening scene.
    Completion point

    The club begins operating and the computer changes from Setup to full Nightclub Management.

    What it unlocks next

    Popularity, the safe, additional DJs and Warehouse Management.

    How to recover the run

    If transport stops responding, return to the last active marker; after failure, relaunch only Solomun rather than repeating Staff or Equipment.

Requirements, purchase and entry budget

The Nightclub alone starts its front and popularity safe, but the warehouse needs at least one active feeder. The cheapest new feeder route is a Clubhouse plus Document Forgery at $850,000.

01

Nightclub — front and basement

Status

From $1,080,000. Opens the club, office, first storage level and first technician; decor is optional.

  1. Buy a location through Maze Bank Foreclosures.
  2. Complete Staff, Equipment and Solomun from the computer.
Result

The venue and popularity operate, but the warehouse accrues no category without a feeder business.

02

Active feeder business

Status

Cheapest new path: $200,000 Clubhouse + $650,000 Document Forgery = $850,000. An existing active feeder costs $0.

  1. Complete feeder setup and keep it active; it needs no own supplies or product.
  2. Assign the matching category: Cargo/Shipments, Sporting Goods or the relevant MC product.
Result

The first technician begins independently accruing one Nightclub category.

03

Expansion — after the first sale

Status

The $1,425,000 Equipment Upgrade, extra technicians, floors and delivery vehicles are separate purchases; they do not block the first category.

  1. Verify one stream first.
  2. Add a technician only alongside another active feeder.
Result

Expansion increases parallel accrual or capacity but never replaces active feeders.

First complete cycle

After setup, complete these actions in the Nightclub before attempting the first settlement.

  1. 01

    Open Warehouse Management

    Action

    Use the upstairs office computer or basement terminal and choose Warehouse Management.

    How to verify

    The screen should show seven categories, technicians and locked/available feeders.

    How to recover the run

    If only Setup appears, finish Staff, Equipment and Solomun. If the computer is locked, register an organisation/MC.

  2. 02

    Assign the first technician

    Action

    Select the category matching an active business and assign the free technician.

    How to verify

    The technician portrait must appear beside the category and status must not report a missing feeder.

    How to recover the run

    If the category is locked, visit the feeder, complete its setup or restart it after Shutdown, then return to the Nightclub.

  3. 03

    Verify the first goods

    Action

    Play online away from the interior and return later to the computer or physical warehouse.

    How to verify

    The assigned category count should rise without changing feeder Supplies/Product.

    How to recover the run

    If goods do not rise, unassign and reassign the technician, verify the feeder is active and change session. Do not buy feeder supplies as a workaround.

Technicians, feeders and warehouse accrual

A technician copies a category into the basement without consuming feeder Supplies or Product; a full category or shut-down feeder stops only that stream.

INDEPENDENT WAREHOUSEConsumes no feeder supplies

The feeder must be active after setup but may have empty own bars.

PARALLELISM1 technician = 1 category

An extra technician cannot duplicate one category; assign them to another feeder.

WHAT STOPS ITFull category or shut-down feeder

Reassign after a category fills or sell a batch; other categories can keep running.

Choose sourcing method and pace

Technician accrual

$0 supplies

Once assigned correctly, you buy or steal nothing for the Nightclub Warehouse.

Beginner recommendation

This is the beginner baseline: start with one reliable category and verify it before expanding.

Active goods sourcing

Time cost, not Supplies

Calling Yohan or completing a Business Battle may add goods directly; this is separate from technician operation.

Beginner recommendation

Use only to accelerate a chosen batch; do not use it instead of fixing a broken assignment.

BASELINE, NOT AN EVENTThe payout above uses the baseline model. Popularity/safe income, Special Orders and temporary multipliers are separate layers.

Upgrades after the first cycle

Upgrades are separate purchases. This guide identifies those that change operating results and those that affect only convenience or risk.

Action

After the first batch, open Nightclub Upgrades and Warehouse Management.

Goal

The Nightclub Equipment Upgrade speeds its warehouse; Equipment upgrades in feeders do not speed technicians.

Condition / timing

Purchases have no cooldown. Hire another technician only when another active category is available.

How to check progress

Warehouse Management shows assigned technicians, category capacity and current goods.

Decision order

01

Equipment Upgrade

Speeds Nightclub Warehouse accrual only.

Practical note

Costs $1,425,000; optional for the first category, high priority for regular warehouse use.

02

Warehouse Technicians

Allow several different categories to accrue simultaneously.

Practical note

Each needs a separate active feeder; hiring alone does not unlock a category.

03

Storage & Delivery Vehicles

Floors raise capacity and the correct vehicle handles a larger batch.

Practical note

Do not expand capacity before starting streams. Upgrade the used delivery vehicle before a large public sale.

Purchase / decision

Order: working category → Equipment Upgrade → next feeder + technician → capacity and vehicle for larger sales.

What it actually changes
  • Nightclub Equipment shortens accrual.
  • Technicians increase parallel categories.
  • Staff affects club popularity, not warehouse speed.

Solo or crew — concrete assignment

Batch size and delivery-vehicle count matter more than the warehouse's nominal maximum value.

SOLO — one delivery

Every Nightclub sale uses one delivery vehicle, making the first and regular run naturally solo.

CONCRETE ROLES
  • The owner drives, performs required interactions and protects vehicle health.
  • Before launch, the owner matches armor and weapons on the relevant Speedo/Mule/Pounder to batch size.
SAFETY LIMIT

Do not launch a batch whose required vehicle has not been purchased or prepared; the computer indicates the needed transport.

DUO–QUAD — escort

Helpers receive no separate delivery vehicles; they clear the route and escort one shipment.

CONCRETE ROLES
  • The driver stays with the goods and completes all points.
  • Escort moves ahead, clears roadblocks/NPCs and stays near the current objective.
SAFETY LIMIT

Do not split the crew across distant objectives unless the HUD presents an active off-vehicle interaction.

First Nightclub Warehouse sale

Check batch state and team first, then deliberately choose a session and launch settlement from the correct terminal.

Prepare the session
  1. Check Goods, the assigned delivery vehicle and its basement upgrades.
  2. Use Invite Only for the first run; treat the public bonus as separate risk.
  3. When choosing a Special Order, verify it does not consume a category reserved for a larger planned batch.
Launching the sale
  1. Choose Sell Goods or a specific Special Order on the computer.
  2. Confirm the value and vehicle selected by the goods threshold.
  3. Enter the vehicle in the delivery garage; the timer and objectives appear on the HUD.
Sale vehicle

Always one vehicle: Speedo Custom for smaller, Mule Custom for medium or Pounder Custom for large batches; the computer selects by quantity.

Safety or public-session bonus

Invite-only session — first run

Benefit

The single vehicle can complete the route without rivals; NPCs and mission conditions still apply.

Risk / failure condition

No rival-player bonus; mechanics and baseline settlement remain unchanged.

Public session — deliberate risk

Benefit

A rival-count high-demand bonus may apply; it is not part of this guide's baseline values.

Risk / failure condition

The vehicle carrying the whole batch is one failure point; fit armor and do not assume Ghost/Off Radar always hides cargo.

Delivery families and response

01

Single buyer

How to recognise it

The HUD shows one distant destination, usually with pursuit or roadblocks en route.

Action

Use wide roads, push through lighter roadblocks and do not exit for endless NPC waves.

Tip

In the heavier Pounder, avoid steep shortcuts; losing momentum costs more than a few road seconds.

Risk / failure condition

Destroying the only vehicle loses its assigned batch.

How to recover the run

If stuck, use vehicle mass/traction or escort help; exit only in safety, and after destruction inspect saved warehouse state before restarting.

02

Split drops

How to recognise it

The map shows several stops to visit in free or prescribed order.

Action

Build a loop around the map, perform interactions only after fully stopping and watch the timer.

Tip

Take the farthest cluster first so the route ends nearer the city and better roads.

Risk / failure condition

A missed stop or timeout can reduce/lose settlement even with an intact vehicle.

How to recover the run

If the HUD does not register a stop, reverse and enter again in the indicated direction rather than leaving for the next target.

03

Route with extra handling

How to recognise it

The mission asks you to identify a vehicle/client, follow a target, use a Cargobob or conceal the shipment.

Action

Read the current objective before moving; complete the interaction first, then deliver the correct vehicle or container.

Tip

Escort handles enemies, but the driver does not abandon the goods vehicle without an explicit HUD instruction.

Risk / failure condition

Destroying a required support vehicle or choosing the wrong target can block progression.

How to recover the run

Return to the last active marker and reread the objective. If required equipment was destroyed, accept failure and inspect actual Goods after Freemode.

Delivery and settlement

On completion, Tony's system fee is reflected in the existing financial model; do not combine this settlement with the popularity safe or a weekly multiplier.

What to do next

A repeatable loop after the first successful payout, with cost and risk checked before the next start.

  1. 01

    Check capped categories

    When one fills, reassign the technician or prepare a sale instead of waiting without accrual.

  2. 02

    Add feeder and technician together

    A new feeder alone or a technician alone does not create a second stream.

  3. 03

    Sell at a manageable threshold

    One vehicle handles any batch, but larger classes must be purchased and prepared first.

  4. 04

    Separate club from warehouse

    Popularity feeds the safe; technicians feed Goods. Each system has separate controls.

Common mistakes and fixes

Buying only the Nightclub

Fix

Complete an active feeder's setup and assign the first technician to its category.

Upgrading a feeder for Nightclub speed

Fix

Nightclub Warehouse speed changes through its own Equipment Upgrade, not feeder Equipment.

Technician on a full category

Fix

Sell goods or move the technician to another open active feeder.

Checklist: have / done / ready to settle

HAVE

  • An opened Nightclub

  • At least one active feeder after setup

DONE

  • Staff, Equipment and Solomun

  • A technician assigned to the matching category

  • Verified Goods growth

READY TO SELL

  • Goods visible in Warehouse Management

  • The correct delivery vehicle and chosen session

Common blockers and recovery

Repair the business or current mission state; do not repurchase a property as a workaround.

Problem

The computer still shows Setup

Check in order
  1. Check Staff, Equipment and Solomun separately.
  2. Finish active work and return to the computer while registered.
How to recover the run

Launch only the incomplete item; completed opening jobs need not be repeated.

Problem

A warehouse category is locked

Check in order
  1. Confirm ownership of the actual feeder, not merely a related parent property.
  2. Visit the feeder and verify completed setup and no Shut Down status.
How to recover the run

Start/reconfigure the feeder, change session and only then assign the technician in the Nightclub.

Problem

A technician is assigned but goods do not grow

Check in order
  1. Check whether the category is full.
  2. Verify feeder activity; its own Supplies are not required.
  3. Unassign and reassign the technician.
How to recover the run

After reassignment, change session and remain online. If another category grows, move the technician there and revisit the problematic feeder.

Problem

The sale did not settle

Check in order
  1. Check that every required stop registered before timeout.
  2. After Freemode, inspect actual Goods and bank balance.
How to recover the run

Repair or buy the required vehicle before another launch, rebuild only missing goods and retry in Invite Only.

03

Expanded informational overview

Guide scopeThis section organizes the complete cycle: requirements, phases, figures and dependencies. The detailed operation flow is in the walkthrough above.

Activity formatBusiness with a production or accrual cycle
Payout modelOwner proceeds plus a separate reward for each helper. The sale value is not split equally.
Separate warehouse system

Nightclub technicians accrue separate stock. Upgrades in linked businesses do not speed up the warehouse; the Nightclub's own equipment upgrade does.

04

How the full cycle works

This section complements the walkthrough with full-cycle dependencies: unlock, preparations, finale, settlement and the next available attempt.

01

Purchase and unlock

The base requirement is Nightclub; the minimum entry cost is shown in the financial panel.

02

Setup

The business must be configured and remain active. Upgrades should be evaluated separately from the property price.

03

Production / accrual

The full time model uses 20 hrs as the typical cycle.

04

Sale or collection

The panel separates owner proceeds, costs, commissions and extra helper rewards.

05

Next cycle

There is no separate sale cooldown; another full result requires a new production cycle.

05

What affects the result

Stock or service value

The range shows small, typical and full variants where value is variable.

Supplies and commissions

Supply costs and agent fees are deducted before the owner's result.

Owner versus helper

Owner proceeds plus a separate reward for each helper. The sale value is not split equally.

Full time

The comparison uses 20 hrs / 20 hrs / 2 days 18 hrs 40 min for the complete cycle.

Main strengths

  • Can combine active sales with passive value accrual.
  • Helpers do not automatically reduce the owner's proceeds.

Constraints

  • Purchase payback depends on regular use.
  • A helper's reward can be far lower than the owner's proceeds and is shown separately.
