I'm down for high end living, and allowing the start of a Heist in Paleto Bay.

Long commutes all the time. And a free teleport to there when you have a finale up.

Question

Just made a online character in the ps3 and got him to level 4 So now when i load this character to the ps4 version i will get the railgun right? And can i use the railgun offline?

 

[jstickboy13]

AS far as I know the railgun in not available online

 

[SomePlayaDude]

I don't think it's worth transferring a level 4.

 

[Chikane_GTR]

AS far as I know the railgun in not available online

???? i thought it was to returning players


@SomePlayaDude

Have to start somewhere im new to this online gta stuff

 

[SomePlayaDude]

The railgun is for returning players, but NOT for Online.

It's an incredibly strong, but expensive, tool for single player. And you get it about halfway in the game.

 

[Crumpet]

You see the weirdest things when out on the road...

They were just chopping each other with Machetes on a mountain at midnight in the middle of nowhere.

IGN saying the festive surprise has been rolled out. I'm online in the UK just now and no update.

Scratch that, the clothing is in, I was expecting a car thats all. The update was applied without downloading a patch.

 

[SomePlayaDude]

Yes update.

No snow.. yet?

 

[STI9]

@SomePlayaDude no snow yet sorry

 

[SomePlayaDude]

Spoiler

I believe the Railgun unlocks after Minor Turbulence, the mission where you crash a Crop Duster into the rear of a Cargo Plane and hijack it.

 

[SomePlayaDude]

Or you know. You can buy it off the Ammunation after that mission

 

[DVNTST8]

I get this in every single session I connect to. If I'm lucky I will stay for around 40 minutes before it gets me, usually it's 15-20'. And on top of that, if I try to find a new session I time out while loading. *grumpy*

@Carl the Sloth, I can assure you that Paleto Bay is one of the most peaceful and welcoming places there can be in GTAO. I have an apartment there (4401 Procopio) and it's saved me from a lot of bounty hunters. Paleto is also good for roleplaying (if that's your cup of tea) and hanging out with friends without worrying about griefers.

I used to have a place in Paleto Bay, it was nice. Might get it again. Might trade in the Del Perro place for it (got a place in the hills for heists).

Usually not too much tomfoolery out there. Would like a decent place in the country.



As for the session folks 'leaving en masse', it happens to me on occasion (often).

thanks guys i got it i didn't have a Rockstar Games Social Club account so i made one then log into the ps3 version follow by the ps4 version in there it was HAPPY DAYS

 

[Marcus Garvey]

No Tampa?

No reports of the Tampa yet. R* included a rather vague reference to a 'gift' coming for Christmas other than snowfall, so there is speculation about the Tampa as a possibility. Nothing Confirmed. I'm hoping for them to add a white FRC so Santa can dodge cones in style.

 

[Jahgee]

The festive horns are great, my Tampa will for sure have one, and I redid my Rhapsody to be Christmas themed.

I dont know if this has been posted before or if I'm being a noob. I think I have found the Heavy Revolvers party piece. Shoot a car in the rear 3/4 panel, roughly where the fuel filller cap is (either side doesn't matter) and the car just detonates, sometimes 1-3 hits. I discovered it by randomly one hitting a pursuing baller.

So, how many is that for an Insurgent? 30?

 

[Sage Ages]

Is there any way to skip the animation for pulling down the hammer on the revolver?

 

[Dan]

Could the revolver be a good substitute for the Heavy Pistol? Also, I haven't heard much about the Tec-9. What are it's benefits and drawbacks?

 

[STI9]

Dont think so @Custom878
This is the first I've actually properly used it and it is MIGHTY.

 

[STI9]

@CallmeDan It has a smaller clip and lower fire rate but does a bit more damage, I rarely hear people use it to be honest

 

[Sage Ages]

What are it's benefits and drawbacks?

It does 4 times the damage of the heavy pistol, but it has a huge amount of recoil which kills the fire rate, and it only fires in single action (hammer is pulled down after each shot) which kills the fire rate. You have to use this thing from a prepared position if you want to get kills with it.

It doesn't seem like that useful of a weapon if you can easily get blasted by a player using an automatic weapon in the time it takes to line up your shot and pull back the hammer.

I can see it's potential in deathmatches, but it's about as practical as you would expect a hand cannon to be.


Also, it somehow does more damage and has more recoil than the .50 pistol, despite it being larger and firing a (presumably) smaller caliber.

So... this new winter "update" is not comming for ps3, right?
