Yes, you can continue earning money in GTA 5’s campaign mode even after completing the main storyline. There are several methods to amass wealth, ranging from completing side missions to strategically manipulating the stock market.
One lucrative approach involves focusing on Michael’s Epsilon missions. Completing these missions quickly and correctly can yield over $2 million. However, choices made during these missions are irreversible, so following a guide is recommended to ensure maximum payout.
The stock market presents another opportunity for significant financial gain. While seemingly random, certain in-game events, like random encounters, can influence stock prices. Exploiting this requires some foresight or using guides that detail these events and their corresponding stock market effects.
Completing the main storyline also unlocks the most efficient money-making method: Franklin’s assassination missions. It’s crucial to only complete the mandatory first mission and then consult a guide for optimal stock market manipulation. By investing in specific stocks before each mission and selling after, players can generate massive profits. This method, however, requires careful saving and reloading to avoid potential losses. While it’s possible to tackle these missions linearly, delaying them until after the main story allows for a more strategic approach.
Even without relying on assassination missions, consistent stock market manipulation can lead to substantial wealth. The key is to buy low and sell high, capitalizing on market fluctuations. Saving before investing and avoiding saving while holding stocks mitigates the risk of losses. Patience and small, consistent gains of 1-2% can accumulate significant wealth over time. The game does have mechanics to prevent excessive exploitation, highlighting the need for a strategic approach. For instance, waiting 5-7 days after a price drop before buying often leads to a rebound and profit the following day.
