Why are you getting so few RP from winning? I get 650 RP when I finish like 6th or something.

Wow, I have to say managing to steal a sheriff SUV solo was one of the trickiest / most rewarding experiences I've had with GTA. I finally got it by parking an SUV in front of the doors of a clothes store and killing cops that would enter one by one. Eventually the NOOSE guys started coming in, so after I killed about four of them I called Lester to remove my wanted level. I then ran outside and jumped right in one with about 30 cops standing right there, who all began to open fire then chase me all the way back to LS. I'll chase down pubbies telling them to pull over with pride now.

Regarding apartments, with the upcoming 500k$ settlement I'm going to buy a fancier one. Most of the views for the 10-car apartments are there, in case anyone wonders : http://www.gamepur.com/news/12373-gta-online-apartment-list-prices-garage-size-interior-and-exterior-views.html

What is the general consensus on best apartment/location/view? I already heard that the 391k one is considered the best, but it looks like the view from Richards Majestic Apt 51 (253k GTA$) is pretty cool because you can see a park and the hills, and also part of the city. Being cheaper, you can also grab a pretty nice luxury car to go along with it! Apart from the views, is there a location problem? Like, are utilities like LS customs or Ammu-nation very far away to justify the lower price?

Do those with 6-car garages have any view at all, or are they shuttered like the cheap 2-car ones?

Some were wondering, it seems like level 25 is the milestone for the cargobob no longer spawning. Just hit it and Sandy Shores is only giving me Titans. Goodbye most fun chopper :(

Hopefully Rockstar will work in some different spawning positions or add the cargobob to the website so you can buy it.

I bought the Majestic Apt 51 and I really like the view and location, got a nice view over the golf course and the hills. It's really close to a mod shop too -- about a 30 second drive from the garage -- which is pretty good.

The 6-car ones have no view at all, only the 10-cars.

What's the easiest way to get a sheriff SUV?

Start shooting everything in the tunnel in the upper right of the map. Do it until you have 4 stars. Make sure you kill some suv people, then call lester to get wanted off. Now wait for police to leave and you have free suv to drive off. Sometimes you might have to shoot the people in suv to get it though, which triggers cops again.

Criminal records, 3 laps, only 2 players, first lap slow (~38 sec), 2nd lap faster (beat first by 4 sec. ~33 sec), 3rd lap fastest (beat 2nd lap by 4 sec, ~25 sec). Traffic,wanted,custom all on, catchup off. Split times to personal (this is prob most important). Weather and time both current. Slipstreaming and the order you place in the race have no effect. Angrygreek and I just leveled up 13 levels this morning doing it. It basically doesn't save your personal lap records properly so each race it thinks you broke the record. So you can brake the record each lap for each race.

Definitely starts spawning way earlier. Possibly at 21/22.

Or, you know, maybe we're all being duped and each session we just get a different spawn seed which has just happened to coincide with us leveling up. It's possible..

Regarding Criminal Records,

There isn't much to do. I think only setting that matters is the split one (Personal). The RP comes from beating your lap record which I think is bugged (never saves) so as long as your laps are faster you should be getting ~2 bars of XP per lap. Me and 3 others would just dick around and ram each other with no real goal in mind and we'd all be leveling every 3-4 races. Sometimes the 2nd lap wouldn't trigger because we'd gently caress the times or something but it was 90% 4-5 bars per race.

Went from 37-45 in those few hours but I can't get Martin to give me missions.

Update on criminal records exp glitch:

I've been running it with Angry_Greek.

They capped RP at 5k per mission overnight.

Do all those settings but only 2 laps.

They main key is to do your slower lap first, then your fastest lap last. The fastest lap has to beat the first lap by at least 4 seconds. You can do it on 3 laps, first lap slowest, 2nd lap faster, 3rd lap fastest. All seperated by at least 5 seconds. But since they capped it at 5k, 2 laps will do it. Doesn't matter who wins.

So you get like 3k your first lap, 1.5k your second, but I've been doing 3 laps. Do you need the 3rd lap for the 1.5k on the second lap to count?

Great, that seals the deal. I'll always be able to upgrade later on if I get tired! I'll buy this with the first half of the settlement, the second half will be invested in a luxury car.

Btw, it will need to be a luxury car with 4-doors to adequately represent when out with the crew: so, Dewbauchee Exemplar or Enus Super Diamond? The first is fast and nimble but not good looking (compared to the Carbonizzare or Coquette anyways), the second I never drove but looks positively awesome. I love me a fancy Rolls Royce.

Okay, so the end of the race rp won't match what I actually receive because it's coming from bonuses?

I understand that but like I said we tried all the classes and none of the numbers moved. It also doesn't show up as a custom vehicle to be used in the race for any of the classes either yet it has race based unlocked.

The Merryweather Mesa is in the 'Off Road' class. You can check the class of any vehicle by pressing down.

It appears as a custom car option in Off Road races (the ones where you race in a Dune Buggy, Sanchez, etc.), but not sure about race wins or unlocking mods for it.

I've been farming the Survival job. After Wave 10 it ends and you get $20,000 and like 1850 RP.

I don't know how to screenshot it, but it's the one that looks like a 7-11. It is one you can rob I'm pretty sure in the normal free roam. There's some cactus to the right of the door. You have to jump up on the cactus then quickly jump again; your character will do the wall climb thing as if climbing up a short ledge into the roof. There's a broken roof panel above the cactus in question.

Try not to tell all the pubbies, yeah? I want to do it a little more tomorrow before it gets fixed.

Does anyone have the link to the video this is shown in? I searched a few pages back but couldn't see it.

I have a dumb car question, is there anything in the game that's based on (or just similar to) a Subaru Impreza WRX? I don't know poo poo about cars, but I kind of like the idea of something that is fast and is also good at tearing around off-road.

Or failing that one specifically, is there a good rally styled car?

Shotguns have about the same effective range as a handgun in real life. Most video games grossly exaggerate their spread in what I can only assume is an attempt to differentiate them from other weapons. As it stands, they are already less effective than rifles at mid-long ranges, but very strong at short-medium ranges. Given the low rate of fire of a shotgun, a good pistol user could drop a shotgun user no problem as long as the shotgun didn't make hamburger out of them with the first shot. I'm not sure how it plays out with the assault shotgun since I only got it last night, but even that gun has a slower fire rate than the AP pistol which tears people up.

The shotguns in this game work exactly like shotguns should, instead of the utter stupidity that represents them in most video games. At 15 yards a shotgun will put every pellet into a target if you can aim.

I don't know what to tell you, I could not get it work first but now I am getting a rank up every 2 races.

What I did notice though, sometimes after the first lap it won't show the RP bar and on the final lap you obviously don't get to see it. In both cases it still adds the RP. However, I am running on 3 laps and never get the max RP message and I always see the RP bar on the second lap.
