Possibly the most underrated vehicle in GTA online

I took it to the training grounds in Paleto Bay

I like the Crusader a lot, but I'm dissapointed that the Mesa can't get the same upgrades that this has.

Is the Mesa good at anything?

 

[SomePlayaDude]

The Mesa is your typical SUV.

However, the Merryweather Mesa has excellent ground clearance like the Insurgent and Sandking.. but that's about it.

mine which I made matte black primary and lime green on the outside roll bars makes it look pretty cool .

Is the dilettante good at anything? XD

 

[SomePlayaDude]

It's good at being.. something. *cough*patheticanduglyuntilwegetaGT300kitfromBenny's*cough*

Speaking of weird things we want to see as a Benny's convert, someone on Reddit suggested a Super variant of the Minivan. I'm down for it, as you already know my chocolate Minivan *tears*. But here's the kicker: make it like the Renault Espace F1.

Now that's what I call Super!

I remember driving a few Mesa's in the first few months of GTA V on the PS3. It was miserably slow on the street, and even worse off road. Some of the SUVs in this game are actually good in their own ways. The Patriot is one of your best options for off-roading. If my memory serves correctly, the Cavalcades were reasonably fast.

*cough*patheticanduglyuntilwegetaGT300kitfromBenny's*cough*

Which will only cost a small loan of eight millyun dollars.

The Merryweather Mesa is excellent at rolling over multiple times with minimal effort.

The Cavalcade was once in my garage back in the PS3 days, but it was outmatched by the Dubsta in almost every way when I went to climb Chilliad. And then.. sold!

The Patriot is a living understeering thing, all because of the tall suspension that gives it smooth offroad performance. It's tall, but not exactly tall enough to cross rivers. I think it's like any offroading SUV.. let's see if I can go find my water clearance test sheet..

Spoiler: Water clearance test sheet from the Cars thread

SCORE GUIDE, using the picture below as a reference:

1 - By the lake's n shape.
2 - By the lake's u shape.
3 - reaching the pier.
4 - at the boat docks.
5 - just past the docks.

All cars travel at 10 mph, so they can't overshoot when sunk. All cars have stock suspension. 3 tests are taken, and the furthest result is chosen if it's not horribly offset.

The lake's depth deepens at a non constant rate between 1 and 3, but gets constantly deeper from then on. Just past 5 is the death zone for all but probably the HVY Dune (which is not included due to it's massiveness, if that's a word).

Benefactor Dubsta - 1
Benefactor Dubsta 6x6 - 4
BF Bifta - 1
BF Dune Buggy - 1
BF Injection - 2
Bravado Bison - 3
Bravado Dune Loader - 4
Bravado Paradise - 3
Bravado Rat Loader - 1
Canis Bodhi - 4
Canis Kalahari - 1
Canis Mesa - 3
Canis Merryweather Mesa - 5
Cheval Marshall/Vapid "The Liberator" - 5
Cheval Picador - 1
Coil Brawler - 1
Declasse Gang Burrito - 2
Declasse Granger - 2
Declasse Rancher XL - 2
Dundreary Landstalker - 2
Enus Huntley S - 1
Gallivanter Baller (Both 1 & 2) - 3, Baller 1 slightly better.
HVY Insurgent (Both Truck and Pickup) - 5
Karin BeeJay XL - 4
Karin Rebel (Both Dirty and Clean) - 2
Mammoth Patriot - 3
Nagasaki Blazer (Both regular and Hot Rod) - Really?
Rhino Tank - 3, dies immediately when goes too deep, no leniency on a cockpit receiving water, unlike all others.
Vapid Bobcat XL - 1
Vapid Guardian - 5
Vapid Sadler - 4
Vapid Sandking (Both SWB and XL) - 5

Come to think of it... I didn't try out the Cavalcade.

Which will only cost a small loan of eight millyun dollars.

Hahah-NO.

But seeing that they did it to the Sabre, then they encourage shark carding and do it to the game's Prius. Then you have it match times with the Bati and Akuma!

P2W!! RIP in T20, is McLaren too unfast for yu.

Out of nowhere, this kind of reminds me of the Race Class in NFS Most Wanted Criterion: You get the Ariel Atom Mugen, the BAC Mono, the Caterham Superlight, and then suddenly: the M3 GTR Most Wanted.

Perfect for FailRace!

To be honest, the only reason I still have mine is just because it rolling over and hitting people in troll off road races that require momentum on hills pisses them off. At one point a friend I play with used to ban them in our races just because of them flipping and hitting people in random spots. That prompted me and others to use them to spite him even though it guaranteed a DNF most of the time. The guy's rage made it all worth it though.

 

[250 GTO]

Have u figured out when to quit? Lol

So I Finally figured out when to quit

Thx for the help. Next time you host, and I get the money

 

[ApexDrift123]

You know the cargo plane ( the massive one ) capture that can be downloaded from SC ? My friend downloaded it my friends played it

I was reluctant because I dident wanna get banned because of it . Can a ban happen or is it just the makers themselves?

You're good. 👍

 

[SomePlayaDude]

There won't be a ban issued to driving spawned things. Ages ago before the last banwave, I've driven in blimps, invincible Armored Kurumas, a chromed turbo'd Liberator, a green LAZER in the color of Mountain Dew.. and so on.

Today's session alone, I flew one of those cargo planes in free roam myself.

There was a modder that was spawning stuff at the airport. Alongside a whole repertoire of different colored BMXs and Batis, there's 3 cargo planes and a chrome Titan.

 

[ApexDrift123]

You're good. 👍

So I won't ?

 

[superstreet556]

So I won't ?

You won't get banned.

So, I'm not sure about the other consoles, but there's going to be some outage. From their Twitter..

"Grand Theft Auto Online will be undergoing maintenance this Wednesday, April 27 at 1:00 AM EDT/5:00 AM UTC, for approximately 5 hours."

Then, we have people on Reddit speculating things like this..

Considering they never do anything maintenance wise to last gen am I free to assume we have a free reign on modding now?

 

[Fallen_log]

Nevermind.

 

[ApexDrift123]

Seems social club is down for maintenance too . I can't get on .

 

[SomePlayaDude]

Maintenance is over for all services, so you can get back to it.

As for..

I saw a GoGo Monkey Blista Compact in the lobby today, so I'm not expecting hackers to be gone altogether.

Might have been a returning player

That Blista is only available in singleplayer. They used a mod menu/trainer to spawn it online.

 

[SomePlayaDude]

Back after the maintenance, and already I have us a short story starring the Riot Van, of all our favorite underused tools.

So, I was cruising by with the Riot Van and had this slightly red blip come for me. Of all the driver types, it had to be a Minivan brother that had to be the scrub trying to get a quick kill on me with some stickies.

And first sticky..

*BOOM*


BLEEP! No good. Alright. Maybe just a bare miss. So a second one..

*BOOM*


Dang! Maybe missed again. By the time he had that third sticky out and about, I slowly drove up to the poor Minivan, and placed the one sticky that sends poor Minivan Custom to the Mors.


*BOOM*


The best part? Well, I was still roaming about, and this guy probably deduced that I might be a hacker and had an invincible Riot Van. The moment I wanted to come close with my own Minivan and greet my brother, he just goes all NOPE and keeps his distance.

And we all know that it takes 8-9 stickies to destroy one Riot Van. But ever tried any other explosive like an RPG? Or even a grenade? Takes one hit. Yes! One hit!

That, my fellow mates is one backing of the term: "Knowledge is power".

Found this on reddit. It's pretty cool. It would be kind of freaky to come across it, though.
