Introduction
The Bikers update allowed players to lead their own motorcycle club, run contact missions and manage five new businesses. Despite updates over the years, Bikers still remains one of the worst business decisions in Grand Theft Auto Online. Notorious for players stealing supplies, waiting for product to build, and suffered through infamous "Post OP Van" delivery missions. While Bikers isn't as bad as it used to be, the reality is you will be setting up the MC Businesses to funnel into your Nightclub.
Clubhouse Locations and Upgrades
When it comes to the clubhouse location, it really doesn’t matter in terms of convenience for missions. It comes down to practical reasons such as access to highway, role play and proximity to other businesses. If you want a city base, Pillbox Hill and Downtown Vinewood are the top choices due to their central Los Santos locations. If you prefer the desert, Great Chaparral is the best pick for Blaine County, placing you right in the heart of Sandy Shores
Typical layout for the Clubhouse
| Customization | Price | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Mural | Free - $180,000 | There are two layouts, the mural will be different depending on which Clubhouse is bought. Purely cosmetic is this option. |
| Style | Free - Various | Another cosmetic choice, one being poorer looking and the other more expensive looking. |
| Club Emblem | Free - $62,000 | Cosmetic choice that will be shown from the Clubhouse wall. |
| Club Name | Free - $50,000 | Works similar to the CEO Office name. Free at first, with various fonts to choose from. |
| Gun Locker | $320,0000 | Allows custom weapon loadouts from the interactive menu. |
| Custom Bike Shop | $530,000 | Players can customise their bikes within the shop, and is used for Bike Service. |
Bike Service
Similarly to the Auto Shop, customers bring in bikes, you customize them to specification and deliver them for a quick $50,000. Simple and recommended for a filler in any money grind.
Bar Resupply
Walking up to your clubhouse bar and launching a 5-10 minute truck delivery refills your bar. This generates a passive $5,000 every 48 minutes, which is deposited into your Clubhouse wall safe (caps at $100,000).
All MC Businesses within the Blaine County and Alamo Sea region.
MC Business Locations and Upgrades
There are five businesses to be bought in Grand Theft Auto Online. Coke Lockup, Meth Lab, Counterfeit Cash, Weed Farm and Document Forgery. Of those five, the Coke Lockup is the only one worth the effort, although, Meth Lab and Counterfeit Cash are also a solid second choices. The return of investment for the others just isn’t there, and this is despite some boosts to profits from Rockstar Games. To maximize efficiency, purchase all your businesses in the Blaine County and Alamo Sea region. They are the cheapest to buy, and their far-sale delivery routes head into the city, rather than forcing slow delivery trucks to climb winding desert hills (thought this isn't always the case).
| Coke Lockup | Meth Lab | Counterfeit Cash | Weed Farm | Document Forgary | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Blaine County | $975,000 | $910,000 | $845,000 | $715,000 | $650,000 |
| Paleto Bay | $1,098,000 | $1,024,800 | $951,600 | $805,200 | $732,000 |
| Elysian Island | $1,462,500 | $1,365,000 | $1,267,500 | $1,072,500 | $975,000 |
| Los Santos | $1,852,500 | $1,729,000 | $1,605,000 | $1,358,500 | $1,235,500 |
If you want to make this an active business, only bother investing in the upgrades (Staff and Equipment) for the Coke Lockup. It requires a steep initial financial investment, but it fits nicely into a standard money-grind routine.
| Coke Lockup | Meth Lab | Counterfeit Cash | Weed Farm | Document Forgary | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Equipment | $935,000 | $1,100,000 | $880,000 | $990,000 | $550,000 |
| Staff | $390,000 | $331,500 | $273,000 | $273,000 | $195,000 |
| Security | $570,000 | $513,000 | $456,000 | $313,500 | $285,000 |
Sourcing Materials
Building product for your MC businesses works similarly to the Bunker or the Acid Lab. You have three ways to secure supplies:
- The Original Way (Stealing): Sourcing materials manually via the Open Road computer or Master Control Terminal can trigger long and tedious missions. Skip this entirely, your time is better spent making money elsewhere.
- Buying Supplies: Spending $75,000 to buy a full bar of supplies from the Open Road laptop or Master Control Terminal is the most efficient choice. It frees you up to work on high-paying active content while your staff produces product in the background.
- Stash House: Added in the Los Santos Drug Wars update, a daily purple target icon will appear on your map. Raiding this Stash House rewards you with a full supply bar for one of your businesses completely free. Note that the business chosen is randomized and includes the Bunker and Acid Lab if you own them.
Once you have secured supplies, you will need to wait several hours for the staff to make your product. Similar to Bunker and Acid Lab, you should work on other content until it is full. Remember that is accrues when playing the game, and will pause if you log off.
Selling Product
Recent updates extended the sell timer to 45 minutes and Rockstar finally removed the Post OP Vans from the rotation entirely. However, there is still chance to get the equally slow Trashmasters or Dodo Sea Planes. Feel free to ignore the slow sell missions and simply find a new session. Otherwise, lock in and take your time delivering each package, ensuring you do not destroy the vehicle. As seen above, profits vary, so use your time wisely when running MC Businesses.
- Always sell to Los Santos for the 50% bonus profit.
- Unless you want the experience, ideally find a new session if Trashmasters or Dodo delivery vehicles spawn. You will lose a small amount of your product as a penalty, but it saves your sanity.
Are the MC Businesses worth it in 2026?
Overall, the MC Businesses can be fun but are often time consuming and see a lack of return for investment. You will want these businesses for your Nightclub but beyond that, your are unlikely to actively use them. With that said, a little persistence and strategic use of sell missions or dealers, there can be profit. Good luck out there!
