As you can see, you’re increasing your Gold payout by stopping the timer at 12 minutes and starting a new activity as soon as you possibly can. If you do a single mission for 25 minutes, you’ll earn 0.44 Gold. If you look at the numbers above closely, you’ll see that 12 minutes is actually the ideal time for any activity, because Gold earnings start dropping off after that.ĭon’t believe me? If you can complete two missions at the 12-minute mark (a total of 24 minutes), you’ll earn 0.64 Gold. People who want to maximize their Gold earning will start an activity, then set a timer and attempt to complete the activity just after the 12-minute mark. Gold payouts used to vary by activity, but Rockstar has streamlined the payout system so that all of these activities pay consistent Gold amounts. So the longer you take to do any Gold-earning activity, the more you’ll be paid.
In any activity that pays out Gold, you are rewarded for how long you play.
