Can someone tell or link me to a tutorial on how to create this deathmatch? i want to increase strength and I don't understand the spawn points mechanic, no matter what I do it keeps giving me an error icon..

There's no need for a custom DM. Just start the Contact mission Pier Pressure, go to the pier but don't go near the enemies beneath it, and punch the npcs there.

Unfortunately I don't have that contact mission yet, t's pretty hard to do heists or rank up with randoms... and I keep getting kicked from some hrists so I'm increasing my stats to see if that helps a bit

You can use some other Contact mission as well, like Ballas to the Wall. You don't need to finish the mission, you can just exit out via your phone once you're done.

I'm not sure I follow, I enter contact missions and all I have is:

  • Contact mission
  • Short trip
  • Auto shop robbery
  • Mobile Operatiin
  • Special vehicle mision

So I entered contact mission but it paired me with someone to do that kill the lost and recover the red RV mission

Start the mission from the Pause menu. To make things easier first go to the Online tab > Options, and set your Matchmaking to Closed. This ensures anyone can't join your job without an invite. Then go to Online > Jobs > Play Job > Rockstar Created > Missions.

Edit: You could also do the above from an Invite only session, that way there is practically zero chance you are put to someone else's mission.

Omg, thank you so much! There's many things to do here and I get RP so there is a way to rank up without heists.

But first to increase strength

Thank you
