Narcotics, Medical Supplies & Chemicals Sell for $7.85 Million – The Most Profitable Hangar Cargo in GTA Online
With the Los Santos Drug Wars update making major changes to hangar cargo profits, dedicated GTA Online players have been crunching the numbers to determine the absolute best options for making money with this business.
Most Valuable Hangar Cargo Source Missions
After extensive testing across all the various cargo types, three stand out from the rest by a huge margin:
- Narcotics
- Medical Supplies
- Chemicals
By filling up an entire large warehouse (111 crates) with just one of these products and selling with the new high demand bonus active, profits can hit $7,858,500.
That‘s over $5 million more than some other cargo types like animal materials or counterfeit goods can bring in. Here‘s a comparison across all the various products:
| Cargo Type | Normal Profit | High Demand Profit |
|---|---|---|
| Narcotics | $5,070,000 | $7,858,500 |
| Medical Supplies | $5,070,000 | $7,858,500 |
| Chemicals | $5,070,000 | $7,858,500 |
| Tobacco & Alcohol | $2,220,000 | $5,670,000 |
| Counterfeit Goods | $2,220,000 | $5,670,000 |
| Art & Antiques | $2,030,000 | $4,060,000 |
| Animal Materials | $2,030,000 | $4,060,000 |
| Jewelry & Gemstones | $2,030,000 | $4,060,000 |
With potential profits of nearly $8 million from a single sale, focusing efforts on just narcotics, chemicals or medical supplies is by far the most lucrative move.
Just be aware that with such large shipments, you‘ll need a crew for delivery vehicles unless selling smaller amounts.
Best Hangar Locations
While cargo profits are not determined by location, having an optimally located hangar can still make life easier when sourcing supplies across Los Santos or selling stock.
Fort Zancudo Hangar A2 – At $3.25 million, it‘s the most expensive option but placing your business on a military base cuts down greatly on griefer attacks during missions.
Fort Zancudo Hangar 3499 – Nearly as good of a choice for $400k less at $2.65 million. Still safely within base confines.
LSIA Hangar 1 – For those looking for value, this is $1.52 million with easy runway access right at Los Santos International Airport.
I‘d only recommend a basic LSIA hangar for solo players or smaller groups without major Online enemies. The added defense and security of Fort Zancudo makes either A2 or 3499 the best investment if you‘ll be selling in populated sessions with rivals around.
Should You Buy a Hangar for Business?
With a fully upgraded hangar capable of generating nearly $8 million per sale, investing in this property for business can prove wise if willing to put in some work.
However, sourcing hangar cargo should not be rushed like simpler grinding options. Missions can be time consuming and frustrating to fail. As a solo player, it‘s tough recommending hangar cargo as a top money maker due to the large sales forcing multiple vehicles. Having patient associates to share the delivery workload solves this issue.
At the end of the day, those who enjoy slowly amassing an awesome aircraft collection over time may love the hangar business despite lower hourly rates compared to running bunkers or CEO crates in intense grind sessions. Just don‘t expect to make $10+ million every week without serious dedication.
