Funny enough that this behaviour is spotted due to changes from a BIKER update.

I'm practically semi retired mainly because of R*'s new evil ban policy that has caught several innocents due to script kiddies going on full assault in most public rooms. I'm staying in Crew rooms here on out until I hear news of it getting better, and an apology as well.

The Youga Classic is out for 200k. It was a long week, but a happy day for SBD to finally come back to SPD.. or was it the other way round?

By the way, people who want a legit Mystery Machine color to go with the livery will require me direct control of the crew color for now but given unfortunate circumstances.. ehh. I'll finalize the hex coding tomorrow.

SBD

I wish. A dauntless would be fantastic fun on GTA.

@Jahgee is still in the crew.

 

[SomePlayaDude]

It's probably a long shot, but I'm requesting to temporarily change the crew color for a small time, if that's OK. For Scooby Doo related reasons. I'll post the (revised) hex for it when I can.

Youga classic with modern interior! Nice one R*

 

[CSMDuty11]

The fact the Youga Classic has a non-'60s interior, as well as badges that outright say "Youga Classic" leads me to believe that, in-universe, it is a re-launched version of an actual classic Youga from back then.
But to be honest, i really shouldn't be thinking this deep about a virtual van.

Restomod.

The railgun is in the new adversary mode? *Was originally a single player only gun* Interesting... Might want to check this out once I get back home.

 

[SomePlayaDude]

The Railgun also appeared in that adversary mode where you.. umm.. have to hunt the Beast and his beasty friends.. I think?

See the doubt? It's to show how much we actually care about these.

 

[Dan]

I don't see why the Railgun shouldn't be brought into free roam anyway. We have tons of explosives already. Yeah, the Railgun is hitscan. So what? As far as I know, the Rhino's cannon is hitscan as well. All Rockstar would have to do is increase the price (they never have a problem doing this) for the gun and the ammo, and then lower the total ammo capacity. Perhaps less than the RPG. If they want to go the extra mile, make it unlocked after completing the Humane Labs Heist.

 

[SomePlayaDude]

Rhino cannon is projectile, but a pretty fast one. Really hard to notice unless you play with it a lot in Director Mode.

I think the Railgun would have a place in free roam to do the one thing nothing else (since the sniper rifle range nerf in the Bikers update) can do reliably: kill jets. Just that make each shot worth like 1k each or something. And slow the reloading.

I agree that it would be a really effective option when fighting against Jets and probably even better than the homing launcher if you use it right. The Railgun is hitscan and its bullets travels at high speeds unlike the Homing launcher where it takes time before the missile could even hit a jet and not only that but almost every player you encounter using a jet knows about the trick on avoiding the missiles. Only if the jet is coming straight towards your direction would it be more effective to take out the jet using the Homing Launcher if you can launch a missile before the pilot takes you out with the cannons.

It would still be way too convenient/accessible to be a balanced weapon, and ammo capacity means nothing since they introduced the ability to buy ammo from the interaction menu.

If R* can put cooldowns on car deliveries, there's nothing stopping them from creating one for explosive purchases.

There was a sniper nerf? Perhaps I really need to check GTAF and Se7ensins more.

 

[Sage Ages]

Snipers haven't changed as far as I can tell.

 

[MisterWhiskers]

Yesss they added a Tornado hot rod, just checked yesterday after not playing for a while. Kinda sucks how the rear wheels can't be changed, though.

 

[Davidies]

Welp. Today I decided I want to go into GTA Online again, which did mean I had to reinstall the entire game. No problem. What is a problem though, is that whenever I launch the game, it says ''Logged in [Offline]'' which means I can't go online at all. My connection is fine, so I'm guessing it's a problem with the game.

Is this a known problem?

EDIT: It seems to have been a problem with the mods of my previous installation causing Windows Firewall to completely blacklist it. Maybe it works now.

Does the discount also apply to the Windsor Drop?

Aside from obvious Buzzard recommendations, the Desert Raid is the one I welcome in anyone's garage. I remember that I bought that and the Brioso the day I started making full use of SHANC.

The memories of that.. and such fun peppy cars

As someone who already has the erm other one, forgot the name, would it be worth getting the Desert Raid?

The trophy truck?
I think they are basically the same, pretty sure on bruffy's vid they had the same lap time.
