This page is about the operation of a Air Freight Cargo business. For the property itself, see Hangars.

FreeTradeShippingCo-GTAO-LogoSquare

Free Trade Shipping Co is a secure website featured in Grand Theft Auto Online as part of the Smugglers Run update available in Free Mode sessions.

Description[]

The site is the tool used by the GTA Online Protagonist to manage their smuggling operations from their hangar in order to generate income from sourcing and selling contraband. It can be accessed via an IFruit Computer located in the office in the hangar.

Functionality[]

If the player has not set up the business, they need to select the option "Set Up" and begin the supply job mission, or they have the option of skipping the mission by paying Ron to source the suppiles for them. Once the suppiles are secured, full access is granted.

Overview[]

FreeTradeShippingCo-GTAO-Main Screen

The main page displays the following info:

  • Stock levels of each contraband type
  • Total stock out of a capacity of 50.
  • Statistics covering steal and sale success rates, earnings and bonuses and rival crates stolen

Set up[]

The setup is required to start the hangar business. The player must steal a Mogul from the Bikers containing cargo. After bringing the Mogul to the hangar the player will receive three random Air Freight Cargo crates and the Free Trade Shipping Co network will be fully accessible to the player.

FreeTradeShippingCo-GTAO-Source Screen

The source page provides 8 contraband types that are available to the player to steal:

  • Narcotics
  • Chemicals
  • Medical Supplies
  • Animal Materials
  • Art & Antiques
  • Jewelry & Gemstones
  • Tobacco & Alcohol
  • Counterfeit Goods

Ron Jakowski explains that each class of goods has varying degrees of difficulty to source, for example "Poisonous untaxed alcohol and tobacco" is easier to obtain than "mind-focusing and totally harmless narcotic stimulants".

Completing source missions unlocks trade prices on the 7 initial DLC aircraft at Elitás Travel and Warstock Cache & Carry in multiples of three (the set-up supply job counts as one of the first three). After the 7 initial aircraft included, so far another 7 drip-fed aircraft also have trade prices if the required number of source missions are completed, resulting in a total of 42 source missions.

Sell[]
