Yep. The pull of the Liberator was just too great. As of last year, I was big into monster trucks and whatnot, but I din't have the funds for it. This year, I'm not so much into the trucks anymore, but I had rhe funds, so why not?

You can always go for those tricky smuggler planes and helicopters. 30K per takedown.

But its finding a session that's bareable for long enough to do that.

Invite only man. 👍

Edit: Seems people already replied. Answered before scrolling down.

All wins will count for all classes. Each class just requires a different amount of wins.

Sure enough. 👍

I unlocked free Chrome Rims for the Bikes Category. All you need to do is kill 200 enemies while having your Night vision Goggles on and activated.

Got that last weekend doing the Humane labs finale.

Just offer to lead, most people will let you because they don't know about it.

Quick question: Do I have to complete all heists to have heist vehicles in singleplayer? When PSN's offline, I'd like to still be able to mess around with an Insurgent in singleplayer, but I'm unable to, even though I own one online.

They aren't in single player

I thought people were saying you had to play the heists/setups to unlock them offline.

I could be wrong, but I remember a bunch of people bitching that they weren't able to use them in Single Player

 

[Sage Ages]

Most of those vehicles were designed for two or more players, so I can see why they aren't in SP.

See now everyone is saying these planes are good money but I've done 5 now and never got more than 7000. I've tried minigunning, homing, Normal rocket launcher and buzzard but never more than 7000.

I think they would be OP in SP lol...

 

[STI9]

I shot down a smuggler plane in a closed friend session (only me and one other person in it) with a buzzard and got 15k. Maybe it depends on your level? Im 145ish I think.

 

[SomePlayaDude]

The value of these smugglers gradually increase 3k after every death, then caps at 30k.

So if I did multiple in one room would it increase?

 

[SomePlayaDude]

Well, I'm getting 30k every one I shot.

Ergo: it's account recorded. You reach 30k, you'll get 30k after, always.

And remember: kamikaze won't work if your explosion didn't kill. Just reach a good spot and use your sniper.

I suppose I should get around to talking to Trevor if I want to try to take advantage of these. I have a love/hate relationship with Trevor though--I love that I hate him.

Rewarded for takedown only or must I retrieve something after takedown?

Just knock 'em out of the sky. You're best bet would be to shoot them down. I've been flying into them with unarmed helis, which is probably around a 50-50 kill count. They need to either blow up, or spiral out of the air. I've gotten a few that say that the "smuggler vehical has crash" which resaults in no payout, a d a lot of swearing on my end.

I'd shoot them down with homing launchers all day if they actually worked. Half of my rockets track the vehical until about 50 feet from hitting it, then fly off infront of it. 30k isn't that great when you spend half of it buying back all the rockets that missed for no good reason.

To make money preventing Trevor to have a GTA Online player meal, all you need is a barbershop singing to you:

Buzzard..

Like i mentioned on here a few days ago, I often find myself in an empty lobby and find myself busy with smuggler planes every 3/5 minutes.

Last night i was in an invite only lobby hoping to take some photos when the same thing happened. Smuggler planes every 3/5 minutes. So jumping in my Hydra i can take them out with one shot for 30 grand a time. 1.2 million dollars later i went to bed.

Easy money even if they spawn every 20 minutes because with Lester's distracting the police, Smuggler cars/bikes etc etc you can earn plenty of money.

However i have seen this that's worth a try:

1, Enter an Invite only session
2, Wait for a smuggler plane to spawn
3, Take it down
4, Change your glasses
5, Wait for the orange save icon to appear and disappear
6, Press start/option
7, Go to Creator
8, When Creator loads press start/option and go back to Invite only session
9, Wait anywhere from 5-10 minutes until another smuggler plane appears
10, Repeat steps 3 - 9

It may not work for everyone and it may take longer than 5-10 minutes to respawn but I hope it'll work or you. Good luck

Makes me wish R* would bring back the flamethrower.

Can anyone confirm if being in any form of aircraft will lessen the chance of smuggler aircraft spawning? I'm asking this because I can't tell if sitting inside or standing outside my Hydra affects the spawn rates.

 

[AnthonyD1993]

I think they just spawn randomly no matter what.

 

[leeislee]

Well i'm guessing what's happening to me regarding the smuggler planes is rare. They're not random for me, they're like clockwork.

But that's me. I'm enjoying the money while it lasts

 

[TexRex]

Got one! I was testing the Lester "find me a helicopter" function, found an Annihilator at Trevor's helipad (the one in story mode), flew it around for a few minutes and then got the notification that the plane was making its pass. Would've been nice if the Annihilator had more than guns but I still managed to get it done.

See above.

Once I watched the video I just couldn't hide it.

@leeislee Which platform are you on? I'd like to try this method as well.

I'm on PS4 mate. Don't see why it wouldn't work on other platforms.

Alright. It's just that some glitches work only on newer systems (Helmet and mask, for example ), although I don't know if you could really call this a "glitch."
