5 accountable ways to spend $2 million in GTA Online in 2024
1) Buy important weapons
Every new player must try to acquire the best weapons in GTA Online as soon as possible. Rockstar Games currently offers over 100 weapons, but not all of them are worth buying. Every beginner should try to acquire the following weapons as soon as possible in the game:
- Tactical SMG - $325,000
- Military Rifle - $397,500
- Up-n-Atomizer - $399,000
- Homing Launcher - $75,000
- Minigun - $47,000
- Heavy Sniper Mk II - $38,150+$165,375
- Combat MG Mk II - $14,800+$119,000
- Special Carbine Mk I - $14,750+$135,000
Even if you buy most of these together, you'll still have money left. It is worth noting that the Mk II weapons will require you to first acquire the base weapons and then upgrade them.
2) Buy businesses and properties
Getting the best businesses in GTA Online is a must-do for all new players in 2024. They help you establish a steady flow of cash for future use. Note that most of the time, you’ll have to spend money to make money in the game. So, get these businesses and properties as soon as possible:
- Little Seoul Agency - $2,010,000
- Eclipse Towers, Penthouse Suite 3 - $1,100,000
- La Mesa Auto Shop - $1,920,000
Each of these properties unlocks various ways to make money in GTA Online, so you should own them immediately.
3) Buy important vehicles
The Grand Theft Auto series is incomplete without vehicles and GTA Online follows suit. However, Rockstar Games is notorious for charging exorbitant rates for vehicles in the multiplayer game which may shock new players. Therefore, the following are a few vehicles you should buy within $2 million:
- Nagasaki Buzzard Attack Chopper - $1,750,000
- Canis Terminus - $1,877,500
- Karin Kuruma (Armored) - $698,250/$525,000
These vehicles are tested by the community and proven to be the best among their classes.
4) Buy upgrades
In parallel to buying businesses and cars in GTA Online, it's important to upgrade them. Rockstar charges extra for upgrades, so spend your money wisely. If you buy the Agency business, get the Agency Armory and the Vehicle Workshop upgrades.
While the Armory works as a personal Ammu-Nation, you can equip Imani Tech features in the Vehicle Workshop. The Canis Termius is one of the best GTA Online Imani Tech vehicles that can be upgraded in the Agency Vehicle Workshop. While other garages offer basic modifications, Imani Tech mods are only available in the Agency.
5) Invest in the Hangar business
The Hangar is one of the notable GTA Online businesses worth every penny. The cheapest Hangar starts at $1.2 million and can go up to $3.25 million. However, beginners should invest in the Fort Zancudo Hangar 3497 which costs $2,085,000.
If you grind the business properly, it can easily generate around $3 million per product batch. Rockstar also made it solo-friendly so that everyone can grind the business at any time.
