Think I'll have to give the Races a good shot tomorrow. Saving for my Ruiner.

 

[Dan]

Speaking of the Ruiner 2000, have you guys found any good customization combos for it? Also, I heard there was a discount for the executive garage things. Should I buy one now, then wait for a discount on the Ruiner 2000?

Anyone want to have a GTA car meet sometime thought it would be a cool idea.

Sure, I work from 8-4 your time so would be online from around 7pm again your time.

New PC is finally up and running. Once I drive it up to uni and get everything running, I'm gonna install GTA V and catch up with about two years worth of missed updates. I know that GTA on PC is supposed to be full of hackers but I'm going to ask in any case, is there anyone who still plays online on PC?

I do sometimes, if I can get on when my brother does as he's the only other person I know who plays regardless of the update schedule (otherwise I know loads of people who'll play for a couple of days after an update). Hackers are indeed everywhere but I find they're more likely to shower you with money than they are to screw with you, but you do get screwed with on occasion.

 

[ProjectWHaT]

I've been playing a lot on PC recently because of the new updates.

I've earned at least $500,000 from doing stunt races today alone. The payouts are great for wins with a full lobby. People seem to like joining @Sting's lobbies, and it made it that much easier with the races on non-contact. No crashes to set you back in the field! A few were contact heavy, but I've noticed that the Nero Custom is pretty quick for races with longer straights. Ended up doing a race on Downtown Loop, and crashed off at the first loop, falling all the way to the back of the pack. Three laps later, I was already back into 2nd...behind @Sting of course.

It's even better when the randoms can't drive. Ended up in a Splits compact race, using my custom Brioso, with Destroy Last Place on, at night, for four laps. Started dead last in the field, watched as all but three cars crashed in the first turn (full lobby, mind you) and took the kead less than 30 seconds later. Drove the rest of the race with a nine second gap to second place, earning an easy $49,000. The best part was the kid complaining about his Brioso for the entire race. "Oh my god, why does it drift so much? Why won't it stop drifting? Wow, it's still drifting!"

Kid, edjumacate yourself. You were getting oversteer. Oversteer is a condition where the back end of the car becomes free and loses traction. That loss of traction, is what is used as a basis for "Drifting".

Kids these days!

 

[m8h3r]

I never and I mean neeeeevvvveeerrrrrrrr have the in game chat on, I'll party myself alone before listening to the 🤬 spewed by the GTA kids.

I'm still around being the sole Crew Commissioner on PC (i think). But it's hard to schedule when you're halfway across the world, no?

this is when you should have given Hammond's description of oversteer to the kid

I would love to! However, I work every day from 2-10 PM EST except thursdays and fridays, and I generally can't play from 4:45-7:00 PM on both of those days.

 

[mustafur]

I'll prefer if we wait until we can get as many people on at once.

 

[Flash_Sweden]

Scratch this then haha I figured it would only give me a 15 minute cool down still.

You could sell them one by one. If you sell a single car, the cooldown is only ~8 minutes. The only time you really need help is when/if you're selling collections. And don't sell in a solo public lobby. If you do, you'll get NPC's shooting at you.

You do know that you can turn the ingame chat off through the interactionmenu?

The best races are done in sportsclass with non-contact. No slipstream (obviously) and no catch-up.

 

[SomePlayaDude]

The best way to do these new Import Export jobs is with the ye olde Cargobob.

Good high flying will make you appreciate it when you see that repair cost at a minimum.

 

[Sting]

Yesterday was extremely productive.

$635,000 in race winnings.
Up to level 305
Gained my 500th race win, keeping my wins higher than my losses for now. Believe my losses is 488.
Got used to the Nero Custom as a race car. It's OK.

 

[Dan]

Which is stronger; Machine Pistol (Tec-9), or the AP Pistol? The SMG always felt like a full-auto peashooter with horrible accuracy, so I've completely thrown it away as it's almost useless for drive-bys*. I never had a chance to use the Machine Pistol, but the AP Pistol has been my number one choice for vehicle-based missions. What are some pros and cons of each gun that you guys have noticed?

*Unless you need to kill a target in a vehicle without blowing up said vehicle. In this scenario, it works pretty well in Rooftop Rumble while chasing the black Cheval Fugitive.

 

[SomePlayaDude]

The AP Pistol is stronger due to having a higher fire rate benefiting for the game meta of all weapons getting the "one headshot = one kill" rule.

 

[Yauma9]

Best feeling: Winning multiple non-contact, no slipstrean nor catch up races through raw driving skill. (And I found at least 3 other actually good drivers!)

Worst feeling: Doing 90 MPH maximum on what's supposed to be a Le Mans Prototype due to catch up.

Catch up pouring ketchup in the tank.

 

[yabiggoose]

Catchup more like poo.

 

[m8h3r]

Catchup in a room of 15+ with really shockingly bad drivers I somehow beat by 35 seconds over two laps of city air. Now that was a slow stock Tampa.

 

[ProjectWHaT]

I was doing a stunt race the other day and the was a large jump. I was ahead so everyone behind had catch up. When I landed I saw a shadow of a car go in front. So I thought "okay, that's fine". Then the car lands upside down in front of me. I drove into it because it happened to quickly. He somehow didn't explode. I had to reverse and drive around him, losing a couple places. When I looked behind, be was still upside down like a turtle on its back. Wtf??

 

[SomePlayaDude]

In these past 3 days, I have earned a net gain of 4 million from exporting.

And I'm also ready to announce my winner of this DLC's SecuroServ selection. It took me some time, but the pros of this vehicle got clearer and clearer after each session driving it.

 

[eran0004]

Why are random players typically useless? All I need, literally, is someone to keep an airplane in the air while I kill everyone on the ground, but not even that can they do

 

[calvins48]

I wish we could sell properties. I've got 4 apartments and I really only need 1 or 2...

 

[Cowboy]

Decided to sell my RE-7B and buy this joyful thing.

I actually quite like it, and it's fast!

 

[mustafur]

For those that can't be Bothered with Standard and Mid Range cars when sourcing a Vehicle for the car warehouse I made a video to help you out:

 

[ScottPuss20]

People, if you want a cheap supercar which can actually give the more expensive ones a run for their money, buy the Ocelot Penetrator. I've had a very high win rate in stunt races with it, much greater than my Banshee 900R. Seriously, I have no idea why these things are so uncommon, it's a really fast car. Highly recommend it...

Well it was a bit of a grind but the 32 car import export thing does work. For those who don't know here is a concise explanation. Obviously I didn't find this myself. It's all over the various GTA forums but thought I'd share it here incase anyone hasn't seen it.

How to only get a high end car to steal:

• Spend a few hours filling up your import/export garage with 1 each of the 32 different steal-able models available.
• For example, 1 zentorno, 1 X80, 1 Roosevelt, 1 Mamba, 1 Sultan etc etc.
• It doesn't matter if there are different colour variants of each. Just get one of each however they come.
• Once you have 32 different cars you can then sell one and the next time you steal a car it will be the one you just sold.
• For example, sell a T20 for 100k profit (as it stands now with the bonus) go to your office, source a new vehicle and it will be another T20.
• You can then just deal with high end cars. Sell one, steal one and so on.
• As long as you have 32 different cars it'll work.
• So even though I have 32 cars in my garage I'm only interested in selling a top end cars in order to steal another one back. The other 31 cars will stay there untouched.

I made 2 million tonight doing that with the cargo bob. it's a bit repetitive but its nice knowing you're only dealing with high end cars and 100k each time. It's up to you if you want to do it but I find dealing with low/middle value cars a waste of time.

It's a far cry from the Adder, the Nero. Based on what I did with mod menus, you can actually paint the stock rims.

QUICKIE: I'm going to be on in a few to export some of me high end cars and throw in some VIP work (PC). If you find me, then you'll have to catch me
