Best/Worst You've Dealt With in GTA Online

[pokemonfan58]

Good: Having some fun doing the final heist with my friends last night and after completing it, I bought a Armored Kuruma.

Bad: First joined a lobby this morning and immediately got killed by two kids in a Jet which sent me swearing and into passive mode.

Wow.

The worst. Taking on 2 brothers. Well, they're PSNs were the same, except one was *5 and the other was *6. These two had an armed Insurgent and a Valkerie, and were killing everyone on sight. First I was in a Mallard and dive bombed the helicopter. That worked great and disabled it. There was a Hydra that chased around the map. Then one of those armed Rebels showed up, and we were able to destroy the Insurgent. Finally the owner of the Rebel distracted them with a Frogger enough for me to target them with the Homing Launcher and blew up the Valkerie.

Oh and there was a user that exploited a clothing glitch that rendered him near invisible, except his boots and head.

Tried to kill a bounty, the asshole had a username with "ISIS Leader" as part of it, plus he was hacking. Rapidly-changing the color of their Marquis and traveling at 500 MPH. Dumbass.

EDIT: Even better! I still can't sell my Sandking XL!

EDIT 2: Why, in the name of everything vidya gaemz would R* allow low-level players to buy STINGER MISSILES? This breaks the game! Lock it to level 100 players ONLY like the RPG! Come on!

I really want to hear more of that story. Although whoever thought that would be a cool thing to add to their username as well as hacking the game needs rehab. 👎 👎

Question, what console did this happen on?

 

[gnomefromnome]

Oh yeah. Saw a new way to troll players. This person called Merryweather for a helicopter pick up. He got in, directed the pilot to your position. Now, while the copter is in motion, it'll show the normal icon. But for some reason once it's stationary, that user in the copter has no icon. Once I figured it out...buy being killed a few times, I noticed he was heading for another victim and I tailed him. I brought up the heavy sniper and fired at the helicopter, thus spooking the pilot and he started to fly erratically, and eventually I disabled it.

So does the clothes glitch actually do anything, like do bullets not register or something?

 

[prisonermonkeys]

I did the race around the prison today, and one of the other players - some guy near to level 400 - showed up in a custom Zentorno. His idea of "racing" was to pitch everyone into a spin. He didn't need to, since he could comfortably blitz the field. But he was too clever for his own good, and wiped out on the final lap when he ran wide and hit a telegraph pole while I slipped past and won.

Anyway, he stayed on for the next job, but decided that rather than do the job, he would deliberately fail the mission by killing everyone. After he did it several times, it became obvious that he was trolling, and everyone quit. His response to this was to set massive bounties on everyone involved, and then re-set them as soon as we were killed. He also got into the habit of destroying personal vehicles. Finally, he gave me a poor rating on my gamercard. And all because he lost a race because he's a poor driver.

No, but he's a much harder target to spot.

Ahh right fair enough.

Was continuing my GTA Online playthrough on a new character when I got spawned in the desert. I went to drive away, accidentally hit a spawning player and a bunch of level 45's chased me in wrecked cop cars. When all you have is a pistol and a sawn off shotgun and they have Uzi's and AK's, there ain't much you can do:

 

[Beeblebrox237]

I love the EMP steal mission. Unfortunately, nobody on GTA has any flying ability, and they seem to lack even basic common sense.

 

[gnomefromnome]

Fun thing to do: Get in your Turismo and ram Insurgents. Most of the time it'll tip them over and disorient them. I can usually ram one about 3 times until they blow me up lol

 

[Leadfoot530]

I'm in utter disbelief and frustrated with this game today:

First off, I join a session of Rockets vs. Insurgents, whom I somehow managed to connect to a server with people from Mexico, I think, sounded Spanish. Anyhow, the lag was so bad between me and them, I clearly knocked two of them off the platform, to only have their bobdies disappear and reappear back ontop of the platform...

Secondly, joined a mission where you had to steal two SUVs out of the sewer tunnel. I manage to make it down, when an enemy spawn behind an area I just cleared and kills me. As if it couldn't get any eorse, we only had one life, and the level 122 and level 23 had no idea how to get into the sewer tunnel!

I just wanna make 50k, is that so much to ask!?!?!?

 

[Stavingo]

Ahh the Insurgents and Rockets LTS, it's the worst to deal with when you have lag sometimes

 

[gnomefromnome]

Fun thing to do: If you're cornered by 2 or more players, bring up your phone and select Continue Heist. This'll teleport you back to your apartment, your car should be restored and you can also regain your health, buy ammo and armor. Plus you'll still be in the same session and confuse those who were after you lol

Was attempting to do Humane finale but quit because the randoms were complete and utter idiots. First try one of the idiots didn't know how to deploy his parachute (go figure) and died (even sent me a question asking how to deploy a chute ). Second try the gunner jumps out with the rest of the team. WTF?! (we fail unsurprisingly). Third try the trigger happy idiots kill one of the "staff" by the helicopter. Fourth try the same gunner idiot jumps out again 🤬. There may have been a fifth in there but I didn't care as I left on my own. Seriously some people don't know 🤬.

It's actually a good tactic for the gunner to jump out and provide ground support. The homing launcher is much easier to use than the Valkyrie guns.

I was manning the side gun, and the host had the sense to put the guy with the highest flying skill in the pilot role. Unfortunately, he kept pivoting in mid-air so that I was always facing the wrong way. Somehow the ground team managed to get to the cove despite us, at which point the pilot landed on them.

But you see he then ran inside with the ground team instead of helping me take care of the reinforcements. Result was automatic fail of the mission.

Ah. Nevermind then.

I once tried the Humane Labs finale with randoms and there was someone who didn't realize that you had to equip the rebreather before going through the cooling tunnel until I told them on the third attempt.

anyone on a PS3

Even better when you job hop 👍

What a freak. I remember last year, probably either before the business update or high life update got release, some moron thought it was a good thing to turn my whole life upside down who thinks he's all try hard this and that and kicked me in the nuts on GTA Online with a score of 20-1. He got my ass mad enough that whenever I join a lobby with this guy, I knew that the rest of my day was going to be like being forced to play 30 hours of superman 64 flying through rings, he picked on me a lot and is probably the reason why my friend deleted me after I got a PS4 since he was close friends with that jerk but I was close friends with him too and known him since early 2013. While that's not confirmed that my friend deleted me over because of this jerk, the jerk himself did told him about something which I can't explain at the moment but it was something nasty I know of. When you see a guy like this, you know that this person has no job in real life. Oh but what if he has a job? Yeah. His job is to go full moron and bully others online.

If you were with me when I was in that lobby with that person, I'd be sending you messages up the arse to screw this guy up. Last time am I ever going to talk about this guy. This guy has given me aids.

Joined a random Prison Break, I'm the pilot. 2 restarts and I didn't even take off yet. 3rd try, the Buzzard gets nailed by a Lazer. Tough luck, happened to me once. For this group it was 5th time is the charm.

 

[Stavingo]

5th time? Wow how long did it take to get to the 5th attempt?

 

[JR98]

5th time? Wow how long did it take to get to the 5th attempt?

Well first 2 were likely 10 seconds each, likely 5-10 minutes for the 3rd.

 

[Stavingo]

At least they didn't waste too much time then

 

[Dagger311]

Good: Completing the criminal mastermind challenge, and ending up with $20,000,000.

Bad: All the trouble we had with the criminal mastermind challenge. We only had to restart once, when the leader of the group got shot down in the EmP mission on the aircraft carrier in the Humane Labs raid.

Some other stuff that happened:

Station setup for Prison break: Partner ran up with his pistol drawn. We had to wait for theother team so they could kill them for us.

The Walter White lookalike that you bust out of prison took his sweet time getting in the plane. I didn't know he wasn't in until I heard shouting in Arabian over my mic, and one guy saying "Go back, go back!"

Deliver EMP setup for Humane labs, the same leader blew the getaway van up (The one next to the garage you put the Insurgent in), so we had to run out. In utility vests.

Humane labs finale: Pilot almost killed me with rotors trying to land on the beach. Landed on a nearby cliff that we had to climb up.

Pacific standard bikes setup: Four crashes total, each time, whoever crashed closed application instead of risking a death. This one was by far the longest we took on any single heist or setup.

Pacific finale: General mayhem, and the guy in charge of getting us into his garage (And Kuruma) left his apartment by accident, making us restart.

All in all, it was a blast, and well worth it.
