Best/Worst You've Dealt With in GTA Online

[SomePlayaDude]

Alright, I've now got some more info regarding the control tower spot.

One thing is that it's near damn impossible to get in without Lester's cop bribe. Why? 5 guards at the door. A Kuruma scrub driveby could get the guards, but there's Rhinos. Which rules out that, and any other possibility (except supreme Insurgent skills, but that's pushing it far).

Once inside, you want to to get to the top. There's a stairwell that leads to the top, with a small mid section in between (with a guard). Once at the top, you have to eliminate some guards as you come up, and worse: a guard form the back. To improve survival before your bribe runs out, kill them fast. It'll be a while before they can get to you.

To keep up with the times, it's unfortunate that I haven't got a "feature SPD moment, starring SPD, by SPD" in a while aside from awesome freemode events.

@SomePlayaDude: Is it possible to enter the control tower on last gen? That would become my top bounty survival post if it can be done.

And please, get yourself a bounty because I like the stories.

It should be possible, unless things changed since R* hates fun.

Three easy sewer entrances:

1: The opening next to the highway during the jewelry store heist which takes you below the Union Depository.
2: The opening across the street from the 3 Alta Street apartment complex.
3: The openings in the LS River. You can either enter from the ones on the west side, or enter the one all the way at the top.

Which one is that again?

 

[Dan]

Which one is that again?

The building or the opening? The building is immediately south-west of the Maze Bank Tower, and directly to the west of the Mile High Club. The opening is about 100 feet from a train platform at the base of the Mile High Club.

Update on the guy who put a bounty on me. Today while I was playing WWE 2K15 he finally decided to respond back with some of the worst English mankind has yet to see.

Yeah, yet again another bad experience with randoms who's doing it for the "lulz". I had to block his username to avoid breaking the AUP.

Oh, right. I forgot about that one.

Had an interesting session last night. It was a Free Mode Event evening, with me vs a level 456 player.

> Dead Drop was first. Drove to the package in my Zentorno. Foe arrives in his T20 with a sticky bomb ready to throw. I fire in his direction and manage to blow up the sticky...and his 27 grand insured car. Made out to Grapeseed to deliver. 20 grand but that 27 grand insured T20 sure hit the wallet. Of course I had a few closing in on the package and I had to fend them off till I make it to Sandy Shores.

> Hold the Wheel popped up, surprisingly at Grapeseed. It was a tractor and my new foe and one other battled for control and I managed to be the last in the driver seat when time ran out. 9 grand sure made it in the black for me. Just as I drove away, level 456 blew up my Zentorno and scored himself a 9 grand insurance bill.

> Up next was fly under the most bridges. I was in the lead at the start but some scrub shot me out of my copter as I passed under a bridge. It took a few minutes to get another one and flew out towards Sandy Shores and regained a slim lead. But on the way out I hit a few bridges and just as I cleared a bridge the engine quit and didn't even score a point. With just a minute 40 seconds left I was able to tie with 1st place with an even score but still got second place.

> Drive the longest without crashing. Managed to call up my Zentorno and went almost 3/4 the around the map when time ran out and won another event. Surprisingly level 456 came in second, and probably peeved that I beat him again. He got Hydra and just as I thought I got away, he scored a rocket hit...and another 9 grand Mors bill for my Zen.

> I found out that the Savage is not that good in the Criminal Damage as it's quite fragile and only mustered a 3rd place. Meanwhile my lobby foe was over by the ship yard racking up points, I drove nearby and just as the event ended I blew him and his Hydra up.....so basically in between all these events mr. Hydra would kill me a few times before I was able to disable it with the Homing Launcher or mini gun.

> Last of the night was Penned In. I had the Armored Kuruma, Mr. Hydra had his Insurgent, and 2 others in a Kuruma and Turismo played bumper cars but none of us won as the dome disappeared with no one inside. Mr. Hydra/Insurgent aka level 456 chased me through the country side until he finally blew up my Kuruma with a final Insurance charge of 6 grand. In the end it was 19 kills for him and 13 for me.

What is with people wanting to kill me specifically recently? Yesterday I had two seperate people trying to blow me up by throwing proximity mines outside the clothes store and my garage respectively, and today when I was driving down from Paleto bay I was attacked by two seperate jet players, along with one perfect fool who decided to pull up beside my Insurgent in his Infernus and immediately detonate a stickybomb.

It's probably because of your high rank, or they think the GTP crew is like the IGN crew, aka full of scrubs as far as I know.

Hey, you can't spell "ignorant" without "IGN."

 

[gnomefromnome]

I was in the lead for Driving in reverse the longest at LS Airport, when some scrub came in and started shooting at me. I had to turn around to avoid dying, and ended up in 4th place with a lousy 2 grand. Ended up blowing him up... And his T20.

I did make up for the insurance bill by winning Fly low for the longest distance and King of the Castle.

 

[GT5Power]

Cruising around, a wild scrub appears, scrub shoots me dead.

His chrome Adder is now sleeping with the fishes (ty Cargobob).

Can you avoid paying the insurance by doing that?

 

[GT5Power]

Yep. I'm surprised this little workaround still exists (not that I want it not to ).

 

[SomePlayaDude]

I wonder if Cargobob can grab anything while in Passive mode?

*evil SPD intensifies*

Nope, the hook is disabled while in passive.

 

[e rikkie]

Nope, the hook is disabled while in passive.

but what if you are in the bob, deploy the hook and then activate passive.... will the hook disappear???

 

[TexRex]

It might only go limp.

 

[ViscousTraction]

I'm pretty sure your whole helicopter would be a hologram/non-collision which would disable you from coming into contact with other vehicles (including use of the hook).

when you are in passive, and the other is not, when the other is IN his car, his car is a ghost, when he exits his vehicle then his car un-ghosts and you should be able to pick it up

btw, did you know you can put stickies on ghosted cars

Whether or not he is in the car you still wouldn't be able to pick up the car. I've tried it before and the hook is disabled while in passive mode.

As for stickies on ghosted cars; I know. Nearly every random tries to sticky bomb me while I'm in passive

 

[chrisjohnson93]

There is only 1 way to find out.

 

[Sage Ages]

The Cargobob hook doesn't work in passive mode. That's that. There really isn't an reason to be in passive mode in one until people start bringing out the vehicle weapons.

 

[TexRex]

So yeah, I had to do a Vehicle Deathmatch for my dailies and got an invite this morning to the Rhino battle in Sandy Shores--I pounced on it even though it was set to 20 minutes. Once it started, my opponent was ghosted as if in passive mode (I couldn't do any damage to it) and had at least a 2x firing rate and faster vehicle movement.

🤬

First job I've quit.

If one of my daily objectives is a job, I usually just use the on call function. Isn't always the best thing to do though, I often end up in rigged player made jobs or '$1000000000000000 MONEY HAXXX RP 420BLAZEIT SUBSCRIBE I BANG UR MOM' jobs which are always awful. Most of the time I try and stay in them if I can just because I'll at least get some kind of money at the end of it.

Alright, I had a good laugh with that one.

 

[gnomefromnome]

So...trying the Time Trial last night. Bushes, telephone poles and trees made it difficult. And cars that just happen to pull out in front of you. Not to mention the finish line just happens to be on the other side of the fence. I must have hit it wrong and bailed off my motorcycle.

I also finished just about 2:04.956, just 1/2 second from the 2:04:40 time. I finally able to complete with a time of 2:02.527

EDIT: oh yea. Hunt the Beast. Took him out with a Heavy Sniper shot for 22 grand. Wasn't even close enough to see the details or supposed sounds of The Beast.

The "Worst" to end all "Worst"'s...

I ran into a kid who must have been around 9 years old singing Wrecking Ball on his headset... I went off the radar and parked my Bullet in Vinewood Hills where he was hanging out in Franklin's yard. I thought a sniper shot to the head would get the point across, but NOPE. He just carried on and tried to kill me in his armoured Kuruma. Fortunately I stopped him with a well placed sticky bomb (I didn't even care about the 6500-odd dollars it was worth). He shouted into his mic: "Alright, if you just kill me ONE more time...". K den. To the airport I go. I drove past the helipads to spawn a Buzzard, got into it and headed for his location (I also accidentally killed a player in his Entity on the way there; I thought I had locked onto a cop car!). One missile killed both him and his buddy. He was raging at this point. One drive-by kill later he left the session. Mission accomplished.

Also, that moment when you beat Zentornos to the mission objective in a Panto of all things
