Step by step
- 1Buy a bunker near where you usually play (Chumash is popular but pricier).
- 2Buy Equipment and Staff upgrades first — they raise both speed and value.
- 3Set staff to Manufacturing only.
- 4Buy supplies instead of stealing if your time is worth more than the cost.
- 5Sell to Los Santos (more money) when the lobby is quiet.
Common mistakes
- Leaving staff split between research and manufacturing.
- Selling full stock alone in a busy lobby — it can need several vehicles.
- Skipping the equipment upgrade.
Section 01
The brief
A bunker is strongest when production runs behind other work. The operating decision is when to sell, not how often to stare at stock.
- Equipment and Staff upgrades raise both production speed and stock value — buy them before anything cosmetic
- Research splits your staff and halves production; keep staff on manufacturing unless you are deliberately researching
- A full bunker sells for roughly $1.05M into Los Santos
Section 02
Recommended route
Buy supplies, leave for active work, and return at a stock level that still produces a manageable sale fleet.
- Buy a bunker near your usual play area; Chumash and Farmhouse are the convenient picks
- Set staff to manufacturing only, then buy supplies rather than stealing them
- Leave the bunker running while you do active work, then return to sell
- Sell to Los Santos for the distance bonus, in an invite-only session
Section 03
What good looks like
The bunker adds dependable background income without dictating the whole session.
- Around twelve hours of upgraded production turning into a single clean sale
- No sale ever failed because the vehicle fleet outnumbered your crew

What experienced players do differently
- Solo players can buy a single supply batch ($75,000) and sell that partial stock as one guaranteed delivery vehicle — far safer than a full-stock multi-vehicle sale
- Bunker sale vehicles scale to stock, so selling at roughly a quarter full keeps it to one trip
- Research completed once is permanent across the account, so finish it before switching to pure manufacturing
