Grand Theft Auto V (Xbox One)

If you're reading my solution, you either have never played GTA V before the xbox one version came out (like me) or you did not complete rank 100 on the xbox 360 version and are hoping to find a "quick and easy" way on the xbox one version to finish rank 100 off. As far as I know, there is no "quick and easy" way like the methods that were around when the game first released on xbox 360. If you were looking for a quick and easy way to reach rank 100 by reading this solution, you can already look elsewhere, because I never could find any quick way of doing this achievement.

*Rank 100 requires 1,584,350 rp*

There is the obvious method: Close this tab and just play the game online normally. If you play the game long enough just playing "normally" (and it could take a LONG time) you will eventually get rank 100 or even rank 1000 if you actually want to max out your rank.

Another method: Put together a dedicated group on here or from your friends list and just play missions. Not all missions are available from the beginning so unless you are playing with someone who is a higher level, you will need to play what is available to you and just keep playing the missions that are easiest/funnest for you. Hard mode gives you extra rp and cash so if you can handle it, put the missions on hard. If you find that you can complete a mission in 2 minutes, then just wait at the end of the mission and let 3 or 4 minutes go by. Rockstar changed how you are rewarded so that if you take 5-6 minutes on a mission, you will get more than you would if you beat it in 2 minutes. There are only a couple of issues with this method. Unless you like playing solo on hard, then you are depending on having partners willing to play at the time you are, or needing to play with randoms. The other issue is that you can't simply find a mission that you like and just hit replay on the mission after you finish, like you can when you play deathmatches or races.

The method I used (still took about 90 hours): Before I continue, I would only recommend this to someone who wants to do some reading, homework, handheld gaming, doing something on a second screen because this method only requires that you play for about a minute, rate the mission, then hit replay, wait, repeat.

This can be done solo. Get all other miscellaneous online achievements so you get rp toward rank 100 while doing those. In the start menu, go to online > jobs > host job > rockstar created (or bookmarks after you bookmark it) > races > Criminal Records. If you have a Rockstar social club account, you can also just go this link (it links to their site) http://rsg.ms/e93832c and hit the "add to game" button to have it added to your bookmarks. If you have played GTA V on 360, then you probably know the "Criminal Records" race well, because this used to be the one of the go-to methods for quickly getting rank 100... Then Rockstar butchered the rp payout for everything. Host "Criminal Records" and set matchmaking to "closed"; you don't want people ending the race early. Set it to two laps and pick a custom vehicle or rent a super-class vehicle. You have two main options here; you can do two laps at the beginning of the race, but stop just before the finish line of the second lap, then wait until the race timer has hit 4 minutes, then finish the race. You could also let the race start and then wait until about 3 minutes has gone by and then complete both laps (if you will finish before the race timer hits 4 minutes, then stop and let it hit 4 minutes, then finish the race). The reason you need to wait for 4 minutes to go by is because that is when this race reaches its maximum rp payout (the max cash payout is at 8 minutes). Try not to crash during at least one of the laps so you can get 100 extra rp during the lap (the bonus only happens once per race).

If you are just starting out (rank 1-30), this race only gives out about 800 rp for 4 minutes. the rp given out increases by 10 rp per rank and every 4 ranks or so it will increase by 15. If you get the clean lap bonus and rate the race everytime before you vote to restart the race, you will slowly gain rp faster and faster. The only reason I would recommend it is because you only have to drive for a minute per race and then let the controller sit for 3 minutes either at the beginning of the race or just before the finish line. This method will drive you up a wall after a while but if you just do this on the side while you're doing something else, you get to do that and get rp. DO NOT finish the race before 4 minutes is up, but you can go over 10 minutes if needed. 15 minutes of inactivity will boot you from the race so if you plan to go away from the game for 15 minutes a lot, then you need to rubber band your controller. If you completely optimize this method, finishing at the 4 minute marker everytime and having decent loading times, you could probably finish rank 100 faster than I did (it took me about 90 hours). Toward the beginning of your ranks, you can get around 10k rp per hour, but toward the end you can get 17k+ rp per hour. It will not be quick, but you will get there.

Those are the methods I can think of. If you know a currently faster method, then feel free to comment it or create your own solution that you think is better. If you plan to just be looking at your screen the entire time you play this game, I would recommend you playing missions by yourself or with partners/randoms instead of grinding "Criminal Records" because you will be sick of looking at "Criminal Records" after just 2 or 3 races.

I have just been playing online normally so have naturally ranked up to around level 50 or so through Heists, Missions and Races etc.

Since the CEO work has been released I find this the best way to rank up quickly. On Average a Crate buying mission rewards around 2500RP and a Crate selling mission rewards around 5600RP.

If you work as an associate for a CEO and you stay in their vicinity you also get 200RP every minute or so.

If you are looking for something different and fun and that will massively help you level up then doing CEO work is currently the best way in my opinion.

More detail on the Special Cargo buy/sell crate method. As this is the best way to gain RP.

First you’ll need an office. You can purchase one with your phone at Dynasty 8 Executive. Then access the computer in your office and purchase 3-4 small warehouses. Select the warehouses to buy crates.

I find it best to buy two crates instead of three because sometimes you have to deliver them separately and it takes longer. You can exit the office in a helicopter if you have one (you can get a free Frogger from Elitas Travel on your phone).

So buy two crates and deliver them to the warehouse. After delivering them, access the laptop in that warehouse and sell one crate at a time (it’s important you sell one at a time because you get much more RP for sell missions). Doing it this way you’ll be able to do two sell missions before having to buy more crates for that warehouse.

Once you’ve bought two crates and sold one for a warehouse, repeat for the next warehouse until you’ve done all four. There’s a cooldown time before you’re able to do another sell mission per warehouse. Rotating between warehouses bypasses this.

After buying and selling at each warehouse, do another cycle of just selling to empty each warehouse. Once that’s done repeat the buy/sell process.

For the sell missions you’ll either be doing them via truck, boat or plane. You can have a helicopter delivered to you anywhere by calling Merryweather, selecting Helicopter Pickup, then killing the pilot and stealing the heli.

If you have a buy mission where you have to pick up the crates separately, you could alternatively pause the game and Find New Session but this may waste more time than just using a heli to complete the mission.

Another useful note is if you purchase an Accommodation for your office you’ll be able to set it as a spawn location.

I managed to get from rank 75 to 100 through boosting this capture method (RP glitch) for several hours over 2 days.

This is how I managed to use this method to begin with:

I had a job invite on my screen one day when I spawned into my facility about an AFK RP glitch. I decided to check it out. After the job had been completed I was able to bookmark the job by pressing LB. To play this again - press the window button, scroll to online, then jobs, go to my jobs, then capture.

You would of course have to act on this quick if you get lucky to get an invite to this job as Rockstar tend to remove these types of game mode glitches quickly.

Below is a video of the RP glitch in action (ignore the commentary).
