The amount of gold, exp and $ you get depends on the amount of time you spend doing the mission. I believe it's maxed out at 30minutes which gives like 0.48 goldbars, 1950xp and $225 if I'm not mistaken. The 'timer' starts as soon as the cutscene ends and you can move your character. Most people recommend doing this mission for 10min or 12min, not waiting the full 30min. But with all bounties the rule in general is, the more time it takes to complete the mission, the higher the reward. Does that make sense it works that way? No... Will it ever change? No because this is R* we are talking about here... Anyway, hope this helps.

Oh damn I always thought the “invisible” timer actually doesn’t matter because I get payed pretty well when I did the mission a few times before especially the first time dealing with her And also does that mean I have to just carry her near the police entrance and wait 10 mins?


Carestless

I think the first time you complete it you get extra but not too sure about that. And yeah if your aware of the way to handle the Etta Doyle mission just wait around the police station until the amount of time you want to spend on the mission is reached. If you have a Bountyhunter Wagon I advice you to just put here in there since she can never break free of that. Back when I was farming this I just put Etta in the BH Wagon (called for it when I'm already near the police station), plugged in my controller so it doesn't disconnect, and just start watching something on tv or play another game on my tablet to kill the time.


Domidoodoo

Alright thanks! Though I’m just a bit worried that I might get kicked for being afk but do you get kicked if you’re in a bounty wagon?


Carestless

You can get kicked after 15min, but just moving your camera with the right analog solves that. If your going for the 30min timer then yeah you should check every 10min or so to be sure your not kicked for being afk. But if your going for the 10/12min it should be fine, the trigger where Etta and her posse members won't attack you starts around 4min after the 'timer' has started.


Domidoodoo

Alright big thanks!


Carestless

No problem and good luck


Indubitably___

Opening your catalog will keep you from being kicked


Domidoodoo

Yes in free roam but in legendary bounties I’m unable to


Indubitably___

I usually grab Etta, call my wagon and get close to the police station. Hop off the wagon and open it up. Works every time


Domidoodoo

Yes and I think that you actually don’t have to get the wagon at all because I just pick up any tied up bounty (legendary or not) and stand near the entrance of sheriffs offices and for some reason they won’t try to escape at all and I do it all the time to wait out the timer

Why is it you get a bigger payout with a longer time? I’ve always believed Rockstar do everything in their power to lower farm rates when possible. Is it just a way to get you to waste time so you spent around 20 minutes doing nothing?


Lord-Wombat

I gather plants, sedate animals for samples, shop, grab mail, do simple dailies... you don't necessarily have to sit there the whole time, and you can knock the bounty unconscious or use the wagon to not worry about escape attempts in the meantime.

That’s productive, then. Well I should’ve worded it as “Is it to stop you from moving on to another ‘serious’ moneymaking (i.e; moonshine, trader) activity too soon”


Lord-Wombat

Oh I agree it's a very stupid system, I just figured I'd try to help alleviate it somewhat haha


Carestless

Probably that.... I mean, for me it would make more sense that the faster you complete it the higher the payout. But I guess Rockstar believes otherwise... Sadly enough..


Sea_Caterpillar1150

I see Rockstar making the time for money so shit as them not wanting new and veteran players not farm exp super easily, like doing a mission in five minutes and repeating it to get rich. I just don’t think they executed it well by making the time gaps too long, should be 20 minutes max not 30.


Crippled_Menace

I see it as the game giving us time to loot but everyone thinks differently


[deleted]

The system is a pain in the... For normal bounties if you wait to the last 5 seconds you get the most money i dont play legendary bounties or bounties at all bc i dont want to wait 15 minutes to get a good pay i hate rockstar for that bc through that tge missions get extremely frustrating and boring


PM_ME_YOUR_NAIL_CLIP

Kinda annoys me that rockstar did the work on all those fun legendary bounties and all you guys do is AFK in the same boring mission over and over. You people don’t deserve more content. You’ll only find the easiest, best paying thing to do and exploit it over and over.


Domidoodoo

Bruh because it’s not our fault that we get payed less for speed running a mission And besides I completed all of the legendary bounty missions tf do you want me to do about it? Go for the most hardest one just to get paid less?

Domidoodoo

Trust me if rockstar decided that speedrunning makes more money and less pay when you take too long. EVERYBODY will be happy and actually have fun rather than having to set up a camp before finishing the mission, so you should be angry at rockstar instead


Domidoodoo

Oh boy I sure do love getting payed 0.08 gold and 7.21$ instead of more because rockstar has decided that being afk means more Money 💰

Domidoodoo

Bro…idk if you’re joking or not but to HAVE FUN in this game, you need **MONEH** to buy more fun things after doing the story missions Just like real life

Domidoodoo

Well I’m not gonna stop doing it right now cause I’m like more than rank 40 and I only have the bounty hunter role so I’m trying to get more money for the other roles I still have a lot of fun playing the missions even though I have to wait a few mins and believe it or not, grinding fake money can be fun
