GTA Online Guide: What To Buy After The Tutorial?

People usually underestimated the challenges in GTA Online after their completion of GTA 5's story mode. Because of that, they are often confused after the tutorial ends, as there are just so many things to do.

Since the game has been around for 8 years, a lot of old players have accumulated a massive amount of vehicles and weapons. Because of that, catching up and get on equal footing with them is not easy. In this guide, we would list out the top 5 most useful items you need to buy after GTA Online tutorial.

1 - Special Carbine

Price: $14,750

After a few contact missions and other misc quests, players are likely to have a certain amount of cash in their bank account. The first proper gun that they need to buy in the shop is the Special Carbine, one of the most cost-effective weapons in the game.

It is fairly accurate, with decent damage, rate of fire, and range. The best part, however, is the cheap cost - it costs as much as a clothes item.

2 - Sticky Bombs

Price: $600

These sticky explosives are essential in any situation in the world of GTA Online. They are the highest damage item that you can get for just $600 - the explosion could easily destroy enemies on foot or heavily damage vehicles.

You don't have to worry about aiming much, as the sticky bomb attaches itself to anything it hit. Some armored vehicles are more resistant to the explosion, but nothing another sticky bomb cannot fix.
