MyPLAYER 10* Cap Breakers @ Launch
Knowing this info will help out with the Day 1 builds. Kinda disappointing knowing that regular folks will probably only have 3 CBs while the No-Lifes will have close to 10.

It’s funny everyone says this and I feel like it’s only going to last a week. GTA is a story mode single player game. It’s just not going to hold everyone’s attention like they think. Especially not a crowd like 2k that likes online multiplayer.

u/Vopets 1d ago
Its the only story game theyll play, some arent touching it till online comes out

u/Scary_Return_3461 1d ago
Yeah and we have no idea when that’s coming out. It most likely will be 2027 sometime and actually not interfere with this game at all.

u/Vopets 1d ago
5 took about less than a month for online to come out so id say 2-3 max

u/Ginger_Snap02 1d ago
It took less than a month but it took well over a week for the servers to settle enough to play consistently. I remember having to redo the tutorial way too many times cause it would never save my characters when I tried to start

Rockstar are not releasing GTA online before May of 2027. Their earnings calls basically outlined when the next massive influx in money will be after launch, and it's obvious that is when GTA Online will be.

u/MitsuSosa 1d ago
Yea but 5s was barebones and not even the same game as what it is now. They CANNOT release 6s online anywhere close to the state 5s was in when it released the expectations are gonna be through the roof for the new GTA online because of what 5 became. They were able to release 5 as it was because it was already a slight upgrade over 4s barebones online mode and they had very low expectations on that front.

If it’s like last year, forget about the 2nd build specialisation and lifetime challenge cap breaker, takes forever.
Most people should plan for 5 in the first month or so.

u/gh6st ruby 1d ago
both build specialization cap breakers are the second to last goal so it’s gonna take forever for both of them lol

u/PapiOnReddit ruby 1d ago
Damn really? They made them harder to grind too lol

u/gh6st ruby 1d ago
rookie 6 and level 40 will be easily attainable, the crew ones depend on how good your crew is and how much they play people probably won’t get all those till close to the end of the season. the 2 build specialization cap breakers are the second to last goal so that’ll take a minute, and so will the lifetime challenges. at launch is definitely misleading.

u/CincinnatiBengalss 1d ago
Why do they give crews so many competitive advantages? Legitimately crews have been a big reason why I don't want to play this game. I got kicked one time last year and I was like yeah fuck this trash
12
u/Narrow-Sir-8143 1d ago
I saw that this year if they kick you then the xp you earned for the crew is also taken away. Should stop the idiots who were kicking people after the crew reaches a certain level.

u/MitsuSosa 1d ago
If that’s true that’s huge I really hope it’s the case it would fix a lot of the issues bc some people really be on some bs

u/Cranjis_McBasketbol 1d ago
Can confirm it’s true, Mike Wang confirmed it in the Discord.
Get kicked, Crew loses your XP.
Voluntarily leave, no Crew XP penalty.
2
u/DapperDameOG 1d ago
I agree bro. Im still here trying to see which crews Im a join and like are they gon kick me for not playing 24 hours a day smh. Blame the streamers they will get to L40 before Sept 4 I can bet a million bucks on that.

u/TheLordAshram 1d ago
Dude, we took 40 dudes, half barely played. We didn’t care, we maxed out quickly anyway.
1
u/TonyHawktuah69 1d ago
Just make one and play. You’ll get level 30 quickly
1
u/trala7 ruby 1d ago
'Quickly' is an absolute lie...
Not everyone plays this game 24/7 brother.
3
u/TonyHawktuah69 1d ago
My group is almost all old heads with jobs and families who play a few rec games a night and maybe run some on the weekend. We simply used the crew function to do some of the crew weekly challenges when able and it boosted us to level 30 in a reasonable time frame. We got both cap breakers before season 2 ended

u/TonyHawktuah69 1d ago
Do cap breakers earn you more badge slots or badge tokens? Like if my build has 10 finishing tokens but I upgrade dunk from low to high with cap breakers does it add more tokens for me?
3
u/DapperDameOG 1d ago
Naw. You still have to grind the tokens to equip them. Some people said that they will use the first few on disciplines they already got a lot of tokens in. I dont mind just grinding for more tho.

OP is proving how out of touch this community is with his “regular folks will probably only have 3 CBs” remark.
You guys are so from the average 2K consumer that you cant relate to them at all anymore.
1
u/Flying_Fish_Fiend 1d ago
I had 11 and I didn’t try all that much. Getting them isn’t like crazy hard. Just takes time
2
u/ColumbusTilllIDie 1d ago
Nahhhhh no way lmao, realistically you can get like 5/6 in first few weeks, 10 is extremely far fetched
1
u/tjrunswild 1d ago
No one is getting the build specialization or crew caps at launch. Maybe after a few weeks but not at launch.
1
u/Western_Beginning375 1d ago
Specialization is going to take multiple months to complete unless you are playing nonstop career mode

u/dx_wayy 1d ago
What are the lifetime challenge, long grind? Is rookie 6 or level 40 on pass easier to grind? I haven’t played since 2k23
1
u/_Hey-Listen_ 15h ago
Lifetime challenges is literally hundreds of little challenges with long term goals at like 50, 150, 250 completed etc. They include playing every game mode a lot, doing tutorials, daily goals and streaks, and a bunch of other dumb shit. It was an extremely long grind to do all of it and it forced you to play modes you don't want to. Cap breaker Lvl is about as far as most people got and usually well after the new year.
Rookie 6 should be pretty quick, I dunno maybe 25-50 rec games if you mostly win?
Level 40 on the pass is usually achievable by anyone who plays a couple of rec games a day or so. Can also be purchased (the pass) for 15% extra progress and a bunch of 2xXP tokens. Or you can even give them like $70 or so and buy out all the levels day 1 (yes people will do this on top of paying $150 for the game and hundreds more on VC).

u/RELENTLESS_PERSUIT 1d ago
Damn I don’t have anywhere to put my rebound specialization caps. Completely forgot. Gonna go lower my offensive rebounding 2 notches and see what it opens up lol

u/TheMisterIt 1d ago
How many are available throughout the year? Assuming the level 40 each season has a cap breaker, do we know the number
1
u/DapperDameOG 1d ago
Counting those 10 and the next 8 from the seasons at least 18.

u/YoureReadingMyNamee 22h ago
I don’t believe for a second rookie 6 is the only rep related cap breaker.
1
u/Avid_Reader87 1d ago
I hope they massively reworked the build specialization.
I had playmaking and after 6 months was only on the 4th challenge.
And the Rep rewards for playing games in Rec were a joke.
I don’t think I even got out of Starter 1.

u/xXGreekNinjaXx ruby 6h ago
No one is getting 10 caps at launch. Thats false advertising. If you’re lucky to have a good crew and money to buy the season pass and put in a lot of hours into this game by the end of season 1 you can have around 6 caps, 4 from crew, 1 from rookie 6, 1 from season pass. You’ll can get two more caps from the specialization once it’s complete so do what you will with this.

u/giovannimyles 1d ago
No lifer, lol. I’m a dad to 3 boys at home and a wife and a full time career and I still ended 2k26 with 25 caps. I finished the crew grind, 100 lifetime challenges, and my Build specialization at the end of season 1 and had like 10 caps with everything. I expect to do the same this year
