Each of the challenges can be done with the list of weapons once you choose handgun, assault rifle, etc.
Oh, I thought each weapon had it's own set of challenges. I was doing all of the basic weapons first.
Why is swimming controls so BAD? I went out to try the money case exploit in the water... after about the 5th brief case I died because my guy kept swimming around the case.. or out to sea because THE CONTROLS ARE SOOO BAD!
Honestly I think doing it this way is so stupidly frustrating I think I'm just gonna go exploit the assassin missions instead.

Trick/spoiler:Every time you switch characters all characters get 100% oxygen. This means that if you are running out of air, switch to another character, then back to the one you were using and he has full air.
Also works for health and i think vehicle repair.
don't think it works for health, i've switched multiple times from character to character within a mission and their health does not regenerate. maybe outside of a mission?
I like all the random antics Trevor's getting into whenever you switch to him. Michael and Franklin aren't usually doing much, with some rare exceptions. One time I switched to Michael, and he's sitting at a restaurant, and starts looking around all confused and saying "but I wanted to have dessert..." right as I took control of him. It made me laugh, in a breaking the fourth wall kind of way.
But Trevor. Every time I switch to Trevor I get something awesome. He's waking up half-naked in a dumpster, or he's chasing some poor scared hobo, or he's drunkenly wobbling down the freeway, or he's pitching a gang member off an overpass, or he's picking a fight with the jocks at muscle beach, or he's spooning one of his buddies and whispering "next time, you'll be the big spoon" in his ear, or he's getting a lapdance at the strip club... Taking control of Trevor is like walking in on the start of an episode of Cops.
Small spoiler within:Trevor's the funniest video game character I've seen in ages.In the mission for the billionaire who steals cars where Trevor is in the police helicopter and Franklin is on the ground, I get the car with Franklin, drive it to the airport and drop the car off. I'm leaving the airport and the mission is passed, so I figure, hell, I'm nowhere near the next mission, I'll switch to Trevor and start it with him. I switch over, he's still in the police helicopter flying over the city, but one of the doors is wide open and Trevor is leaning out shouting "Hope you have a soft landing!" at the police officer he's just thrown out. I completely lost my shit at that point.
Flying is pretty awful, at least for helicopters.
Made some clever market investments and now have over $1 billion on Franklin. I am going to start buying up property now and probably a boat. I've finished the main story. I found the best way to invest was to crash a stock (blow up their planes, rob their stores, whatever) then invest when they are very low; wait a few days (go into the save menu to pass time quickly, you don't have to save) then sell when the stock rebounds and normalizes (everything but LifeInvader recovers). I went from $25 million to $1.14 billion in like an hour last night on Franklin and over $400 million each on the other two.
Every time I switch to him he is running from the cops. =( So annoying.
One thing that I find kind of annoying is if you break a law and get one star, the cops shoot at you. If you resist and run, you automatically get 2 stars. What am I supposed to do? Let them kill me?
Wow.. Which stores did you rob to get their stocks to plummet and then invest?
I just finished the main story and unfortunately did all of the Lester assassination missions and missed investing in a couple of them - was a complete noob so I now have only ~$30M for all three characters (strictly from the last heist)!
Are there any other ways to make quick money in the game?
Martin's wife was kidnapped by trevor and now neither he nor michael can enter the city without martin's men after them. How can I resolve this?
There has to be a way outside of missions to do it. I am going to try and see tonight when I get home. I will test a few different companies and their stock.I think impacting the stock market outside of missions cannot be done. The LCN just does not move quickly at all, irrespective of whether you blow up assets or not.
