I got rid of it.

It'll never leave you. It will follow you on your quest to kill fake video game people no matter how many times you try to throw it away. It will always be your loyal companion.

Car mod updates:

Midnight Purple and Brushed steel. My only purple car.

Harbor blue with Sea Green pearl (Which is quickly becoming my favorite pearl).

Replaced the brushed black steel with Wine Red.

Race Yellow matches the letters perfectly.

And, a couple questions.

Let's say, theoretically, that this one guy pissed me off. Theoretically, he left his car at the helipads in Vespucci. Theoretically, I pushed his ugly pure gold Osiris in the water with my Insurgent. Does he pay, or is it no charge?

And, I'm in a dead crew right now. I got an invite to a crew with only three members in it, but they seem active and friendly. Should I move? Story on how I met them will be in the best/worst you've dealt with thread.

Are you completely sure? Have you gotten shot at when in a vehicle? Did it not hurt you? If it's doing what you're saying then you're lucky, you can get in a vehicle and not be shot out instantly.

I know you're vulnerable in vehicles. No message pops up saying it's disabled in the vehicle, but as soon as I exit, the ten second countdown starts and then it's disabled.

Ok. I'd prefer if it would be a more powerful weapon. However, since it's always going to remain in my inventory, I might as well make it useful.

Well, you can only do so much with a gold plated 9mm pistol. At least the firing rate is quick.

So uh
Got 8 million dollars shot at me on top of Mt. Chilliad. I've already spent 5 million of it and I regret nothing.

[edwinpr]

Well...okay. I guess I have to try again.

UPDATE: Another session, another crate.

 

[maxi25]

I never seem to be able to find crates. When they do spawn someone else always gets to them first.

Download xLag onto a computer, run it when a crate message pops up. If done properly, you'll lag out of the session but remain online. You'll be in a public session by yourself. It doesn't affect anyone but you, so it's harmless

 

[JR98]

Could R* not ban you for doing that though?

Ban you for what? It's the same as if you had crap internet which caused it. All your doing on your end is slowing your own internet down

I had the fortunate luck that for some reason my internet causes me to end with empty lobbies with special crates.

That explains all of the disconnections recently. Someone's gonna pay!

 

[Dagger311]

Anyone else notice their cars can take more than one explosion now? My Kuruma and Virgo took one head on, right where the engine is, and didn't even start smoking.

 

[SomePlayaDude]

More than one explosion?

Gotta try overcooking a grenade on my 100 Armored Bullet then.

*increase stakes mode activate*

While I'm inside!

 

[JR98]

or stick 5 sticky bombs on a swat van. Perfect bounty hunter vehicle

Nonetheless got upgraded to a PS4 yesterday and got GTA as well, what are the main differences between last gen and next gen GTA?

First person, draw distance, textures and a few extra vehicles

Passive mode is actually useful.

Just in case you weren't aware, if you're ever presented with the opportunity of shooting down a smuggler plane/helicopter, take Shia LaBeouf's advice and DO IT!!!

Seriously, though. Do it. I got $21,000 and $27,000 for shooting down the helicopter, and I get exactly $30,000 each time for shooting down the plane.

 

[Sage Ages]

All the easy-money activities happen whenever I'm on the other side of the map.

Que? I only get $7000 for shooting a plane down. Might as well sell a Maserati at LS as it gives me the same price and is cheaper. Or go for a Ranger Rover...

 

[SomePlayaDude]

Always what i do with these smugglers is this: crashed my aircraft to it.

Half the time it wouldn't get me my money, half the time, it would..

 

[Dan]

I had a funny glitch with the helicopter a few days ago. I was chasing it out to Sandy Shores and when I finally arrived, I noticed it stopped moving over the Alamo Sea. I pulled out my Heavy Sniper and put a few shots into it. I moved closer, and fired again and it blew up. Easy money.

Most of the time, I will just use my Stinger missile because I can't be bothered to line up my shots on a moving target.

 

[Sage Ages]

Did they make it so that you can shoot an RPG out of a helicopter recently? I just saw someone shoot an RPG out of a helicopter recently.

Ever since heists. RPGs, Snipers, and a Homing Launcher IIRC.

Interesting. That opens up a lot of opportunities.

That it does, Savage is pretty mean with a pilot and two rpgs on the side.

 

[SomePlayaDude]

I own a Buzzard, and i want my brothers to own a combat helicopter like me to breeze the typical Jobs.

So, what should I recommend? Buzzard, Valkyrie or Savage?
