Bunker: sale values, manufacturing and research

Manufacturing

Manufacturing produces stock to sell. Research uses supplies to unlock upgrades. If you want your bunker working toward a sale, check its staff assignment before spending time on resupply. Rockstar explains the distinction in Getting Started in Gunrunning Research.

The bunker laptop manages the business, including staff, resupply and sales. Gunrunning update notes.

You can buy supplies or bring them back from Supply Missions. Both feed the bunker's manufacturing or research activity. Rockstar's supplies explanation. Compare the purchase cost you see with the time you would spend sourcing and what else you want to play; neither choice is automatically the most profitable for every player.

Quote your bunker stock

Use the calculator for a bunker with Equipment and Staff upgrades, selling in a private session at the reviewed base values. Choose whole stock units, or use the quarter, half and full shortcuts, then select Blaine County or Los Santos.

This is the sale quote before costs and delivery. It does not predict how long production takes, how many delivery vehicles you will get, or whether a full sale suits your team. Event and GTA+ bonuses are excluded.

One purchased supply batch

With Equipment and Staff upgrades, staff assigned to Manufacturing only, empty stock and empty supplies, a full supply purchase is quoted at GTA$75,000. See the original empty-supply screen at 2:31.

The reviewed base model turns that batch into 20 stock units in 2 hours 20 minutes of production. Start the production clock when supplies are available and remain online with the business able to manufacture. This is an ideal timer calculation; check the stock actually produced before selling. It excludes research, bonuses and mansion boosts. Current model, original manufacturing test report.

One modeled batch · GTA$
Amount	Blaine County	Los Santos
Stock sale quote	140,000	210,000
Purchased supplies	75,000	75,000
Quote after supply cost	65,000	135,000

The last row subtracts the supply purchase from the stock quote. Other expenses and failed or incomplete deliveries are outside this estimate. Supply arrival, travel and the sale mission add time beyond production, so the table does not establish earnings per hour. Original production and sale formulas.

Research

Research is useful when your goal is an upgrade unlock. Some Mk II weapon modifications and ammunition types require research, as documented in the Gunrunning update notes. Treat that progress separately from sale stock when judging what your bunker has produced.

Agent 14 research missions

Bunker owners can call Agent 14 to launch Bunker Research missions. This gives you an active mission route alongside the facility's staff assignment. Rockstar added it in The Criminal Enterprises update.

For the session you play in, use the newer private-session business access rules. The older research support article still mentions a public session; that restriction was superseded by the private-business change.

Follow the weapon path

For the Mobile Operations Center's weapon workshop and the distinction between conversion and component unlocks, read Mk II weapons: the workshop and research. Before choosing research, identify the upgrade you want; before choosing manufacturing, check your plan for selling its stock.
