I'd get the Nero if I were you. You'll have more use of that than the R2k. The R2k is fun, but not really useful. My Nero has almost payed for itself by now by being good for racing. Oh, and mine isn't Benny-fied.

The R2K seems like it would be a hell of a lot more fun because of the jump ability and parachute, but I do like to make money in stunt races from time to time. I guess it'll be the Nero, because I'm dying to drive a Chiron VGT.

2x Money from Contact Missions?

May buy a stock Specter...Spectre...whatever; kinda want onw just for the engine note, especially on start up.

I've just been called a modder and told I was reported for driving the new duke o'death. Seems like it's too much hard work for people to scroll down on the warstock website to see it on there. I guess if it's not at the top of the page then it must not be available...Idiot!

The R2k is more fun, but the Nero is more worth the cash. Especially since it's easier to make it pay for it self by racing. And your personal R2k has only 8 rockets. After you've used them, you'll have to go to your carwarehouse and reload. The one you use during Fully loaded (the CEO-work) has unlimited rockets, but you'll only have for 30 (or 20) minutes.
Not to mention that the Nero (non-Bennyfied) is ~1/4 of the price of an R2k.

Who said I would ever use the weapons system? I avoid public lobbies unless it's absolutely necessary for me to be in one. Too many glitchy AI, low framerates, disconnections, and toxic players.

 

[GT5Power]

Holy 🤬 I just decided to grind to buy a Nero and it goes on discount. Thanks R*!

 

[SomePlayaDude]

Guess who's buying a Marshall?

And another one?

And another one?

And another one?

And another one?

Finally got the Dodo online, and it's pretty neat being able to land on water. I just wish that I could extend the landing gear while in water, so I can taxi onto beaches or the ramp at the Vespucci helipad. :/

If you time it just right as you approach the shore you can get the wheels down at the edge to run up on land. I'm lazy about it so many times I leave it just slightly beached like a boat on the shore anyway. As well, you can often rock it back and forth while engaging the landing gear to get the gear down on certain surfaces if you happen to land on the pontoons. The Dodo is one of my most oft-used vehicles.

 

[SomePlayaDude]

Dodo top tip:

Don't do this to people.

 

[pokemonfan58]

You know considering that the gun running dlc is going to focus on military oriented stuff, the fact that Rockstar added in the flip car from the 6th Fast and the Furious movie I think it was the movie the car was in *aka the ramp buggy* as well as adding in some F&F inspired wraps for the Elegy Retro Custom, the Sultan RS, and the Banshee 900r, I'm getting a feeling that Rockstar is going to consider adding in the ripshaw from Fate of the Furious into the game. If it does that'll be interesting.

If they do add it I wonder if they'll keep the remote controlled turret or make it to where a player needs to control it.

 

[SomePlayaDude]

I expect a Batmobile alike to pop up. Specifically the Tumbler from the Christian Bale saga.

Question is though, could they add more SV's without modifying the warehouse in some way OR allowing us to sell SV's?
I hope they do add more but unless they are Pegasus vehicles, chances are there will be upgrades to the warehouse to buy - if you own all the current SV's that is.

Wouldn't surprise me if they just duplicated the SV garage so when you entered it asked you if you want to enter garage 1 or 2....maybe.

 

[Crumpet]

I purchased a Duke O'Death and immediately became involved in vehicular conflict with an owl in a Sabre Turbo.

There is some space. They just need to move some props out of the way.

🤬 that owl.

Has anyone here ever had the misfortune of trying to do Headhunter and two randoms decide to protect the target in that hotel across from the golf course? Those two arseholes brought forward my first aneurysm by a few days.

 

[Sage Ages]

Initial impressions of the DoD: It's an explosive resistant Kuruma with a smaller hit box and less passenger space. Shooting is a little awkward, but you're practically invulnerable from the right side of the car.

Edit: Homing missiles seem to be fine. RPGs will still destroy it.

I do Sightseer instead, I can manage it in under 5 minutes in my Buzzard provided the packages aren't ridiculously far apart. Is Headhunter better?

Got the DoD as well but had to log off, I'm going to try it now. Getting the free Dodo and Kraken too.

 

[MMX]

Headhunter is quicker, for me anyway. Sightseer usually has me going from one end of the map, to the other.

 

[Sage Ages]

The DoD can get armor upgrades at LSC. Full armor will allow it to survive a hit with an RPG.

Meh, the HL sees much more use than the RPG. Now, is it as bulletproof as the Kuruma? Which car is better to use in freemode?

 

[gnomefromnome]

Potshot, $14630 for 3 minutes for work. Got $9975, too fast lol, magic # is 4 minutes for 19k.

Woah, woah, woah, woah, woah. The Dodo and Kraken are free, too?

 

[rallymorten]

TIL everyone who's bought any of that used-to-be-not-free-but-is-free-now content will get a refund for it all.

Maybe the early stages of that is what we've seen over the past few weeks and months? Maybe?

 

[GT5Power]

Yes.

Nice. I'll be awaiting a nice, fat, digital check, then.

🤬 that owl.

I see what you did there

Getting the free Dodo and Kraken too.

Woah I didn't notice them!

 

[Sage Ages]

Everything that was exclusive to returning players is now free to them. Finally gave me the motivation to "buy" the Stallion and Blista Compact.

Speaking of which, I hate the wheel choices on the Blista. They make the already narrow wheels even smaller and it looks ridiculous.
