GTA Online Agents of Sabotage: 5 huge mistakes to avoid
1) Missing optional objectives
Buying the Darnell Bros Garment Factory gives access to four FIB Files. These are the heist-like jobs mentioned earlier, and each includes three setup missions and a finale. Although there is a clear objective in all four finales, there are a few optional objectives too.
They won't be mentioned by the game, so you must research them beforehand. Completing all optional objectives in a FIB Files finale offers extra money, and none of them are too complicated; hence, you should try going for all of them.
2) Picking up the main target first in The Fine Art File
The Fine Art File is one of the four GTA Online Agents of Sabotage FIB Files. Its finale tasks players with breaking into a penthouse, locating a hidden room, and stealing the contents inside. The main target will be placed in a display cabinet. However, there are two more cabinets in that room that can be looted.
Do not pick up the main target first, as it sits on a pressure plate. Once picked up, a gas will be released in the room that will reduce your health rapidly, making it nearly impossible to loot the other two cabinets. Looting all three cabinets is one of The Fine Art File's optional objectives, so keep this in mind.
3) Not using the Darnell Inc app
If you have been playing GTA Online for a long time, you might be accustomed to heading back to a business property after one mission to launch the next one. While there are several fast vehicles in the game, going back and forth can prove tiresome.
Luckily, an app named Darnell Inc will be added to your in-game phone after the introductory cutscene of the Darnell Bros Garment Factory business, allowing you to launch any FIB File mission remotely.
4) Playing FIB Files too frequently
Only four FIB Files have been added with the GTA Online Agents of Sabotage update. Additionally, one of them, The Priority File, can only be played once a week. Although they are all quite fun, playing them too frequently can quickly make them boring.
Hence, it is best to take up some other activity, such as heists, business runs, or Salvage Yard Robberies in between, to prevent the gameplay loop from becoming too repetitive. You can also check out the time-limited holiday-themed events such as finding all GTA 5 Snowmen locations, or GTA Online Yeti Hunt clue locations.
5) Buying the Dinka Jester RR Widebody without prior research
As mentioned, the Agents of Sabotage update introduced a few vehicles; one of them is the Dinka Jester RR Widebody. While the regular Dinka Jester RR is a popular ride, its new variant has some major drawbacks.
Dinka Jester RR Widebody's top speed is slower than that of the regular variant. Moreover, it barely has any visual customization options, and isn't even compatible with Drift Tuning, unlike the regular Jester RR. Furthermore, it costs $2,290,000, which is pretty expensive.
Those who can afford the Jester RR Widebody easily may consider getting it if they like it. However, those on a budget would be better off looking for other options, such as any of the 5 best snow vehicles in GTA Online (since the game's map is experiencing snowfall at the moment).
