Anyone want to join me for some SHANCing? I can provide a CEO Buzzard for someone while I'll be in a Pegasus Savage

PS4

By the way: I'd like this method of money making to be as unknown as possible. So, unless someone's already done it at GTAForums or somewhere like that, let's keep it to ourselves, mmkay? Helps reduce the chances someone at R* goes along to fix it.

Totally agree.

You could have at least have linked the video itself...

-----------------
I'm going to share my experience with the Stunt Races, so far i have only done 5 different stunt races and non of them are Premium one's.

Spoiler: huge number off images..

The first one i have done was just me alone in the Progen Tyrus (McLaren F1) since no one wanted to join in and i just decided to try it out to learn how exactly it works. Just a 2 Laps race around "downtown". Nothing much to say apart from imaging how it would be with all the players.

So i just jumped into an invite for a stunt race and it was with bikes this time. I chose the Bait 801RR for the race because why not.

So i started the race and already 2 players got disconnected so it became a 10 player race. I started in the 6th place but almost everyone overtook me and made me second to the last position but then overtook the other players up to 4th place since the other players crashed/fell out after the first jump.

I stayed at 4th-5th until half way through the second lap where i became 2nd place and then the guy in the 1st place fall down making me in 1st place all the way to victory.

I thought i was lucky to get anywhere near the "podium finish" let alone the first place so couple days later...like couple hours ago, i decided to do 3 races. Each with different types of vehicles: Rally cars, Fiat 500 look-alike and the motorbikes.

Well it turns out that ether the players sucked so much or i actually good at it which's unlikely. They reached to the point they couldn't complete the race and even gave a dislike. I won 2nd in this race with a "stock" Tropos Rallye (Lancia FTW!) as i don't own one while some other's were in their own customized sports cars.

The second race was a total walk in the park, probably the easiest race so far.

And then the third one was a more involving since there were overtakes all around the races and everyone were "pushing" each other. The first 4 players including me were so close to each other until i and the 4th guy screw up at the end. I also took the new chopper as it was new and it looked bad ass IMO (same could be said to pretty much every other vehicle added in the DLC and wait, can i say the a without any problem?).

If it weren't for the screw up then i could have won this race as well. It seems that there's always the guy at the last place who's goes to annoy the other players, at least what i have learned from this and pretty much every single race in GTA Online...

So, I had a go at some of the other unreleased vehicles, which are the Lynx, the current gen Contender, and the Cliffhanger.

The Lynx is really bog standard sports flair, probably in the realms of the Coquette and the Alpha in terms of performance. It is very customizable, as you already know.

The Contender is in the SUV class, and it feels, turns and accelerates like it can compete with the Armored XLS. I have my eyes on it, since I quite like the F-150 Raptor. And you can take the cab off.. which is unfortunately the only thing you can customize.

I don't have much to say about the Cliffhanger. It's like these new off road bikes just spit and makes the Sanchez look bad..

Just got in a lobby for it. Social Club name is also my name here.

Bought myself a swift, 1.5 million, regret nothing because...



If only it was armed

I believe that a SHANC session with 4+ people can produce $2.2m/hr.

We were able to average about 1.5 min (occasionally as low as 1 min) per headhunter session last night with two savages. About $800k in one hour. Remember don't spread this technique around.

Sounds better than heist glitching.

 

[DurWinning]

Anybody up for doing that on the Xbox One? I spent most of my cash on the McLaren F1 clone.

 

[xXKingJoshXx]

Can someone explain or link me to a post that explains the "SHANC" thing?

Oh well. Call me when it's possible to do on the Osiris.

By the way, it appears that this shenanigan which I thought was a one time thing..

Found a rather interesting bug.

I finished a small Hostile Takeover and headed for the flight school for daily duty.

After that's that, I ended up in a small, near empty room: perfect for cargo transfer. Strangely my CEO carried over to this session.

But since I don't like partaking in that, I waited the 5 minute cooldown for Headhunter, and got in a Savage to.. well.. savage the opposition.

After that's taken care of, I head straight to the job menu and checked for cooldown. I see my Headhunter all ready to go again, with no cooldown.

Okay, small oversight in code. Headhunter round 2 done, and.. ready for another one with no cooldown.

Guess what I did for the next 20 minutes?

I managed to make it happen again! Can I hear at least 400k per (unfortunately tedious) hour when done with a Savage.

I decided to try the Premium races. Ended up winning on the first try $100000 and 15700RP 👍 It makes me like my Elegy RH8R even more. The second "R" is obviously for "Race"

For those interested in some rally courses have a look at these (PS4):

This thingy majiggy you got going on looks half decent. Currently my only money making online is when the nice Scots man and the danish guy need a 4th for a heist and I conveniently step in to just wait at the bank. This could be good for solo.

I'd recommend having someone else as it's kind of a bitch to do solo, but it can be done

Holy 🤬!! 2/2 👍

How do people end up in huge races populated by 20-30 people who don't cheat? You know the type that broughy is always in? Racers!

I joined his NODO crew but can never seem to get in a lobby with similar players, and to be honest I prefer being in the GTP crew but the racing scene doesnt seem as big.

I took part in 15 races earlier and every single one was ruined by idiots ramming.

 

[Christian_C]

Is anyone running a SHANC session on ps4 now and mind sending me an invite?

I usually only ram if rammed. And I think out of like 20 races i've won maybe 2 of them.

I've also noticed the amount of separation in races. In a 16 person race, there's like 7 or 8 guys who are really far behind, a few guys afk, than the top 4 are usually within a couple seconds of eachother, than the middle is spread out.

I might have to try that.

Is it winner take all?

EDIT: Just did one, I won, thanks to my trusty un-sellable glitched Zentorno that I've wanted to get rid of forever. The downside is that there is a 48 minute cooldown after one. Didn't see how much everyone else won though.

 

[maxi25]

I need a BIG favor right now. I've been doing the daily stuff for nearly a month (day 24 or 25) and need to do a one-on-one deathmatch to complete the objectives for today. I'd really like to get this done and not have to start over again. Is there anyone willing to help out? Please. I'm on ps3.

No prob I'm like one of 3 people still on PS3 and I know the struggle.

Still thanks for helping out. If you ever need anything just let me know okay?

 

[sparkytooth]

I don't usually bother much with daily objectives because of my broken controller impeding wheelies but sure I'll let you know.

Almost. The winner gets $100k. The rest get nothing
