Career Progress tips for tiers and rewards
The first of the GTA Online Career Progress tips is to treat each category as a checklist. Higher tiers pay out more valuable rewards, so finishing a tier before switching category keeps you moving toward clothing items such as the KnoWay Hoodie, the Bottom Dollar Jacket or the Cluckin’ Bell Tee. The categories run from update content (KnoWay Out, The Cluckin’ Bell Farm Raid, Agents of Sabotage, The Chop Shop, The Contract) to general activities (Racing, Deathmatches, Survivals, Adversary Modes, Vehicle Enthusiast, Weapons Expert).

Career Builder: plan your first purchase
New characters on the Expanded and Enhanced Editions no longer play the old tutorial. In the Career Builder a cutscene shows a vault being blown open and $4,000,000 lands in your account. You then pick one of four paths: Executive, Gunrunner, Nightclub Owner or Biker. Each path lets you buy a business property with some packaged upgrades, vehicles and weapons, and the Criminal Enterprise Starter Pack discount also applies.
Executive path: office prices
| Office | Price |
|---|---|
| Maze Bank West | $1,000,000 |
| Maze Bank West plus Money Safe | $1,335,000 |
| Maze Bank West plus Gun Locker | $1,520,000 |
| Maze Bank West plus Accommodation | $1,795,000 |
| Maze Bank West plus Garage (10 vehicle) | $2,150,000 |
| Arcadius Business Center | $2,250,000 |
| Arcadius Business Center plus Money Safe | $2,585,000 |
| Arcadius Business Center plus Gun Locker | $2,770,000 |
The Executive path also includes a warehouse. You choose from eight: the Convenience Store Lockup at $250,000 is the cheapest, and the Derrière Lingerie Backlot at $902,000 and the Gee Warehouse at $880,000 are the two biggest at 42 crates each.
Gunrunner path: bunker prices
Seven bunkers are on offer, from Paleto Forest at $1,165,000 up to Smoke Tree Road at $2,205,000. The Grand Senora Oilfields, Grand Senora Desert, Thomson Scrapyard and Farmhouse bunkers are not available in the Career Builder.
