What to do when you get teamed up for a mission with someone who is clearly away from the screen?

Well, I pushed him onto the tram rails and waited for the tram to arrive.

Sadly, the tram driver actually brakes to avoid obstacles like this. So I completed the mission on my own and then went with plan b: parachuting race!

Unfortunately, he regained consciousness already halfway through the second jump, but up until that point I had a blast!

I thought the tram drivers will get impatient if you stand too long and will run you over.

I'm totally down with whatever car we get later.

XA-21 is definitely a purchase for me. If this car does come out, and you by chance want to race it, buy a non stock engine block, since that for some reason is the spoiler option, like the bikes and their belt covers.

The Nightshark will maybe come with some new research (armor paneling), while the Ardent probably won't. Both of these will have the terrible built in machine gun, but you can swap to your driveby weapons along them: a big plus that I wish the Blazer Aqua would adopt soon.

I guess they were more patient than I was

 

[Sage Ages]

tfw people accuse you of modding even though you have complete potato aim.

 

[SomePlayaDude]

The Nightshark is out for 1.245 million.

Being the absolute replacement for the vanilla Insurgent, my favorite traits of this car comes from the sound, the changeable side exhaust, and the ability to choose drive by weapons or the terrible front machine guns.

 

[rallymorten]

OK, so today was the Nightshark.

Take what I said yesterday and apply that to the next two weeks.

In other news, associates and such once again gets 2x money, Overtime Shootout (aka a less interesting version of Overtime Rumble) is out, there's 25% off a variety of stuff including Phantom/Hauler Custom to tow your MOC, ammo types, vehicular weapons research, MOC turrets and general customisation and the Vagner.

R* really need to stop having discounts on things I just bought. This is the third time that they've done this since the yachts were on sale.

 

[SomePlayaDude]

The Nightshark is probably now the best armored vehicle for one reason:

On the map, it will NOT show the special icon for big armored trucks, but the regular blip you would see if you're driving just about any other normal vehicle.

Two things, just had a random texting me asking for a money drop! Is that even possible on PS4?

And how can I unlock the metal paints when no one ever does rally races?!

 

[SkyArkz23]

And how can I unlock the metal paints when no one ever does rally races?!

you just gotta get stupid lucky. I can help but we still need a couple more people to actually start one

 

[rallymorten]

Randoms gotta random.

For starters, legit money flings itself at you more than ever before.

Second, there's apparently a new glitch that involves blowing a car up twice and then "transferring" its sale price to a car off the streets. If people are *that* desperate, it's an option.

how can I unlock the metal paints when no one ever does rally races?!

I'm willing to help with that.

I believe it's going to take at least one more person, though, which, in the process of typing out this message, might just have fixed itself.

 

[Sage Ages]

Can I join as well?

 

[leeislee]

Can I join as well?

I'm guessing there has to be a few other entrants to register the win?

 

[Sage Ages]

At least two different teams.

 

[leeislee]

At least two different teams.

We may have to try again later when more crew members turn up

 

[rallymorten]

We're currently looking at two teams of two.

If me and my brother painfully obviously trading victories to unlock all the stuff that just requires you to win races in general counts, this should be good to go.

 

[SomePlayaDude]

You can do it on a custom track if somebody has no idea how Criminal Records is laid out.

im open as well. might as well do it while everyone is still available

 

[leeislee]

Well Custom878 and I are hanging around now so if anyone becomes available let me know and I'll start a race up

 

[SkyArkz23]

try sending that invite again. it didnt let me join you

 

[Sage Ages]

Edit: Join Lee.

 

[leeislee]

Invites sent. So far there are 3 crew members waiting and a random

 

[rallymorten]

Don't think I've got one.

Oh well, the thought's got to count for something, right?

Edit: 1337 h4ck1ng sk1llz later, I'm in.

 

[leeislee]

If we can get enough people to.unlock the metal paint for me I can also help anyone with any unlocks if needed

 

[Sage Ages]

Me and Lee already got a win (I have no idea how the unlocks work, but we should both have it now), so someone else should go now.

 

[m8h3r]

We're unknowing participating I've let the missus have the second character and she joined the first thing that popped up. You got 1 go out of us haha.

 

[Marcus Garvey]

If we can get enough people to.unlock the metal paint for me I can also help anyone with any unlocks if needed

It'll be at least an hour and half before I'm online, but if you've got nobody by then I'll hop in for you. Easiest used to be Criminal Records set on rally.

 

[leeislee]

This is chaos. I can see randoms winning it

 

[m8h3r]

I'll join back, turns out she doesn't like it

I'll let you get some wins if I'm in the drivers seat.

 

[leeislee]

Custom and I have got the unlock (I think) so if anyone wants a win let us know otherwise It will end in chaos hehe
