Description[]
“
What's the hesitation here, compadre? You like money right? Set up the business to start manufacturing weapons.
”
— Agent 14's text to owners of newly unlocked bunkers
Go to the laptop to begin the setup mission for the Gunrunning Business.
Supplies are required to keep the arms manufacturing process within the Bunker running. When supplies are obtained, staff will begin to strip down the supplies obtained, and create new weapons and projects which will then be sold on. Supplies can also be used as research; research allows the player to modify new weaponized vehicles added with the Gunrunning update, such as new weaponry, exclusive liveries and bodywork modifications for these vehicles.
Completing resupply missions is required to start Mobile Operations, assuming the player owns a Mobile Operations Center, in a similar manner to Vehicle Cargo does to Special Vehicle Work. There is no way to check how many resupplies have been made, although a percentile rate of success is displayed on the Disruption Logistics computer.
When supplies are brought into the bunker, the level of supplies indicated at the bottom right of the HUD will go up. When the supplies level is full, it can take up to 2 hours for all supplies to be used, and even less time if further upgrades to the Bunker are made.
Supply missions, along with everything else Gunrunning-related, can be carried out and collected as either a Motorcycle Club member/president, or as a Organization associate/CEO.
Supplies will only be used up, and by consequence, manufacturing/research will not advance while the player is offline. It will continue the next time the player logs into a session.
Buy Supplies[]
Buying supplies is a simple way of obtaining supplies, and only requires the player to click a button on the web page. The player simply makes the purchase and is free to leave and do other activities, and the stock will be delivered in 10 minutes.
Supplies are on route to the Bunker and will arrive shortly. Manufacturing will restart once they arrive.
Buying supplies varies in price but is never free of charge, and can vary between $15,000 and $75,000. The amount purchased is one full bar, or 100 units. The convenience will result in less profit, but arguably can be offset by the time saved for the player.
“
Your purchased supplies have arrived. Just so you know, paying for supplies means less profit.
”
— Agent 14's reminder text
Steal Supplies[]
The other way of obtaining supplies is by stealing them. Stealing supplies is free of charge, but often requires lengthy drives and carefulness upon delivering. A resupply mission can be started in the Resupply menu of Disruption Logistics. Once selected, the player will immediately spawn outside the bunker with their active personal vehicle nearby. Agent 14 will regularly call the player informing them on the situation. Once the phone call has been initiated, a GPS marker indicating the primary location will be marked on the map. Resupply missions can often be as far as 8 miles away, depending on the bunker location, but the first mission will always be relatively easy.
The first mission will consist of the player stealing a parked Duneloader loaded with ammunition supplies outside an Ammu-Nation. The player can choose to drive the vehicle back, which can take up to 6 minutes depending on the route chosen and the bunker's location, or alternatively use a Cargobob to transport it back. Enemies can sometimes spawn in pairs along the journey back, similar to Vehicle Cargo missions, every once in a while. For this instance and only this instance will the supply bar be completely filled up from one mission.
Stealing supplies is free of charge, like Vehicle Cargo. The player will always be given 30 minutes to obtain the supplies and bring them back to the bunker. In most circ*mstances, the player can die as many times as they want, but must note that dying may jeopardize the mission, especially on long journeys back, or during a shootout. There are circ*mstances where dying will cause the mission to be failed, such as the use of the Railgun, where the player's death will result in the supplies being destroyed, and thus the mission failing.
There is also the consideration that most resupply missions only fill the supply bar by 1/5th, or 20 units, while a few give 2/5ths, or 40 units—it can take up to five missions to get one full supply bar of 100 units—and assuming the bunker is set to manufacturing only, will convert it into 4 and 8 units of stock. Not only that but while a resupply mission is active, production on stock is paused until the supplies from that mission is brought back to the bunker.
Unlike Vehicle Cargo or Special Cargo supply missions, Gunrunning Supplies have no cooldown timer after delivery, although the player cannot start another resupply mission if the supply bar is full.
Completing a certain amount of steal supply missions will unlock Mobile Operations, missions launched from the Mobile Operations Center. Even if the player does not own a MOC, completed resupply missions will retroactively unlock the corresponding missions if a MOC is bought in the future.
Steal Supplies Mission Types[]
Main article: /Steal Missions
Alien Egg[]
“
Here we go. Find the supplies then take them to the lab. And make sure they're not too damaged in the process.
”
— Agent 14.
Altruist Cult[]
“
Okay, looks like those whackjobs, the Altruists, might have the supplies you're after up in the Chiliad Mountain State Wilderness. Go up there, and get'em out.
”
— Agent 14
Cartel Hideout[]
“
You know it's one thing for the cartel to build an army over the border it's another thing to raise one in our backyard. These guys have been stockpiling arms in an old mine. Don't know quite what they're up to, but take 'em out for me, and take the supplies for yourself.
”
— Agent 14
Clandestine[]
“
Our readings indicate a large stockpile of weapons on a cargo ship on Elysian Island.
”
— Agent 14
Merryweather Convoy[]
“
The supplies we're after are being moved by a Merryweather convoy. Stop the convoy, get the supplies, drop them at the bunker. You at the point? Convoy's incoming.
”
— Agent 14
Helicopter Packages[]
“
Bring down the transport before they fly out of the state and you can salvage the hardware. We've allocated a Technical Aqua for your use. Take our Technical Aqua and bring down those transport helos. Then it's a salvage job.
”
— Agent 14
Railgun[]
“
You've got the greenlight to resupply with some railguns they've got at Humane Labs. We might have to work alongside Merryweather, but we don't want them packing railguns.
”
— Agent 14
Rhino Tank[]
“
Your lab team's crying out to break down a tank for parts, so you're gonna deliver for them. You know what the techs in the lab are really itching to break down? A tank. Can you drive a tank? I hope so, 'cause that's how these supplies are coming.
”
— Agent 14
Truck Packages[]
“
When I hear arms are moving around the state at the behest of hostile governments, it just... it upsets me, ok? You're going to get in a buggy, bring down these shipments, and collect cargo.
”
— Agent 14
Rival Competition[]
“
This one's more like quid pro quo, you take out some bad actors for me, I've got an easy resupply for you. It's a good deal all around.
”
— Agent 14
Technical Custom[]
“
Okay, the supplies are a vehicle, well a vehicle with a minigun bolted to the back. The lab thinks there's some milage in breaking down a Technical pickup with a minigun on the back. You seen those Technical pickup trucks with miniguns in their beds? You're after some of those today. We're looking to resupply with Technical pickup trucks complete with miniguns, the Lost are holding at their facility.
”
— Agent 14
Youga Classic[]
“
Somebody hasn't been servicing their vehicle. At least the supplies are good. Get them back to the bunker and we're done.
”
— Agent 14.
Distract Police[]
“
This one's right out of the playbook.
What we need's being watched by the police.
One of you's creating as much of a diversion as possible.
When the cops take the bait, the rest of you take the goods.
We good? Good.
”
— Agent 14.
Ballistic Equipment[]
“
Your supplies are holding at LSIA, miniguns, ballistic armor shipping to a war zone.
Get in there and get them back to your bunker and let's keep the world order just the way it is thank you.
”
— Agent 14
Flight Data[]
“
Good news. Today is one of those days when the public and private sectors join hands and achieve something truly wonderful for the American people.
One of your rival arms dealers is on the agency's hit list. We're just tying up a full seizure of their assets.
The one thing we don't have access to is their R&D data. They're running it out of the country on an unregistered flight due to leave American airspace sometime in the next twenty-four hours. We need to you[sic](Spoken:"you to") break into one of their sites, track that aircraft, and hack that data. You do that, we give you a generous share of their confiscated stock.
Sending you the site's location now. I'll be in touch.
”
— Agent 14
Smuggled Arms[]
“
In the intelligence community, sometimes it's about letting good things come to you. Like smuggled arms. If you happen to know exactly when and where a consignment is due to enter Los Santos; and if you happen to know they use a cargo plane to perform low-level drops just off the coast; and if you happen to know exactly where they keep the boat they use to pick up the goods... Like I say, sometimes you just need to be in the right place at the right time...
”
— Agent 14.
Sell Supplies[]
Main article: Supplies/Sell Missions
Once the player has created stock from gathered supplies, they are able to export it to buyers. The sell missions work very similar to Motorcycle Club's Business sell missions, while the structure is essentially the same as Special Cargo sell missions. The missions vary in structure, however they all involve dropping and delivering packages across Blaine County and/or Los Santos.
