7 things you should never do if you play GTA Online solo

GTA Online is a multiplayer title, but many fans prefer playing it solo. Rockstar Games has added a lot of solo-friendly content to it lately, which has driven it more towards a single-player experience. If you wish to take up the challenges of Grand Theft Auto 5's online mode alone, you can do so, but there are a few things you should avoid.

This article lists seven things you should never do if you play GTA Online solo. These aren't exactly hard and fast rules, but keeping them in mind can help you enjoy the game in the best way possible.

Selling in Public sessions and other things you should never do as a solo GTA Online player

1) Sell high amounts of Bunker product

The Bunker can help you make a lot of money in Grand Theft Auto Online, and it is also very solo-friendly. However, deciding to sell a high amount of product can spawn multiple sale vehicles.

Since business sell missions are timed, completing them with multiple sale vehicles alone can be very difficult. Instead, you can sell your business product in small batches.


2) Sell high amounts of MC Business product

GTA Online MC Businesses also function like the Bunker. Starting their sell missions with a lot of product in stock can also spawn multiple sale vehicles, posing the same challenge as before.

Once again, the trick here is to sell your product in small batches.


3) Sell in Public sessions

Regardless of the business or the amount of product, selling in a Public session can be a nightmare. This is because the game will inform all other players in the session of your activity, prompting them to attack you.

Griefers are still among the biggest problems in GTA Online, and they will most likely try to interfere in sell missions and destroy your product.


4) Spend too much on lavish items

There are a lot of attractive commodities in Grand Theft Auto Online, such as luxury yachts, apartments, clothes, super cars, aircraft and more. However, buying them can quickly drain your Maze Bank account.

As a solo player, it is only you who will have to make purchases for heist prerequisites, business properties, and other important things. They will eventually aid in making money, but the initial investment is quite hefty, so you must spend wisely, at least in the initial stages of your journey.


5) Buy the Insurgent Pick-Up Custom

The Insurgent Pick-Up Custom is an expensive, albeit very useful vehicle. It has good explosive resistance and even boasts a turret. That said, the driver cannot access the weapon unless they leave the steering wheel, and switching between the two can be a hassle for solo GTA Online players.

You can instead go for something like the Nightshark, which also has exhibits explosive resistance and has machine guns that can be operated without leaving the wheel.


6) Buy the Arcade

The Arcade is a poor business in terms of revenue generation, and its main purpose is setting up the Diamond Casino Heist in GTA Online.

Although this heist pays very well, it cannot be done solo, so there is no reason for solo players to buy an Arcade.


7) Grief

Solo player or not, no one should grief (killing players for no reason or interfering in their missions) others. This kind of behavior is somewhat promoted by the game itself but can be very frustrating for fellow community members.

While there are many griefers in the title's player base, choosing not to bother others unprovoked creates a healthy environment and lets everyone have a good time.
