  3. You can technically buy any arcade, but Videogeddon is the best choice as it's the cheapest one in Los Santos proper. The only renovations that matter are in Extras and a Garage:
    • Living Quarters in Extras allows you to spawn at your Arcade
    • High Score Screens in Extras will encourage rage quits and addictions in players
    • Garage will allow you to store vehicles at the Arcade
  4. You'll have to be a CEO before you can continue with setting up your arcade. The only mission you can start at this point is the Setup Mission for the arcade.
  5. Follow the in-game instructions, as this is a straightforward mission—simply go to the location noted in game, track down a stolen truck and steal it back, then drive it back to the arcade.
    • After doing this mission, Lester will introduce you to the Diamond Casino heist, and your arcade will be fully operational.
