One spawns at the furthest west mod shop in the parking lot. I had been looking for one, found it there, got excited, turned it around to slap insurance and a tracker on it and some dickhole blew me up. I found it there again later the same day.

Yes. The Cargobob is not a vehicle you can buy standard. You could get it a long time ago with some GTAO internet browser fuckery but Rockstar, to my recollection, has never officially put the Cargobob up for sale.

This made it hilarious when they released those infographics when the PS4/Xbone versions dropped and they revealed that the Cargobob is like the 5th most owned helicopter in the game.

Pickup Sticks can be really hard mission so if that was your first time piloting a helicopter you did pretty good. My cousin was pretty skeptical at first but by the time we got to the Frigit warehouse he was convinced you knew what you were doing. :v:

I am lvl 180 and I regularly see cargobob spawns. It seems totally random now. I see pretty much an even mix of cargobobs, buzzards, and Mavericks/froggers.

Edit: I see the cargobob at sandy shores airfield more often than anywhere else.

That's encouraging. I just hope it's not because you happen to be in proximity with a lower level person tho.

I was only like 3 beers deep then so I was like mad pumped up to give it a shot. I am aware of L1 and R1 so that makes me 100% better than most pilots imo

I had a lot of fun doing a different thing per area. 1st one I just circled it, 2nd I think I landed dropped you guys off then took up hovered and came down since you wrecked the baddies. Same with the 3rd the fourth was fun as heck. I actually had to get out and pop some shots at some fools. Picking that guy up off the rooftop felt cool as heck No man left behind ya know.

So what are the best cars for each of the classes?

We should really put together something for the OP, because this is a perennial question.

Something like "best for racing," and "pretty good/has a notable feature" so people don't just pick the same cars over and over.

something like this maybe? but for all classes:

quote:

Super:
Best for racing: Zentorno
Second best for racing: Entity XF

Other Notable Supers:
Adder (highest top speed in the class/game?)
Voltic (lowish top speed, incredible acceleration)

quote:

Sports:
Best for racing: Massacro
Second best for racing: ???

Other notable sports cars:
Sultan RS: really solid performance, cheap insurance, 4-door. You should have one of these.
Carbonizzare: very fun to drive, high top speed, good performance, RWD only so I hope you know how to control torque!

I'm thinking something like this would get you an idea of what cars are cool to have as well as which ones are the pro min/max racing best-in-class.

e: also it might be worth having "cars to avoid in this class" if there even are any, like cars that are so bad they aren't worth it at all.

It's fast, handles well, accelerates well. Basically, it's a little more forgiving than a Carbonizzare. If you're good with the Carbonizzare's quirks there isn't a huge reason to get one for missions/driving/funtimes.

I'm still gonna agree with Croccers, it's simple enough to weed out which car sucks balls in each class, but as far as they go, pick the one you think looks coolest. Driving skill is more important than speed for a lot of races.

You've gotta jump it a certain distance while landing on all 4 wheels, it's difficult to judge because single player mode actually slows down when you do them, online doesn't as you know.

You have to land where they want you to land. They don't tell you where that is. If you're hitting a jump at full speed and landing it but still failing the stunt jump, I guess try jumping shorter?

For example, those big ramps at the airport that look like some kind of advertisement require you to land on the roof of the parking structure. I only learned this by accident while trying to backflip a motorcycle off one and landing on the roof.

Normally I'd have cleared the roof and died when the bike landed.

I ended up doing all the stunt jumps this time around and the absolute worst one is either the prison jump or the lighthouse jump. Both stick you in absolutely lovely situations and I can't decide which one is worse.

I wonder if the race Stunt Jump glitch still works. Pick an official race that has a stunt jump in it's circuit. Instead of finishing the race just turn around and keep hitting the Stunt Jump. The race where you drop from the elevated road near the IAA/FIB buildings to the street was the quickest one.
I'm permanently stuck on -3 Stunt Jump Remaining.

It's so weird to see posts like this, to each their own, but racing is easily my favorite activity besides steal a police van and chase randoms. And it's totally because of the clusterfuckery. I keep putting it off but my goal is to make a long rear end highway race, call it death race 2000 and then play that in GTA Race with traffic and no catch up until the wheels fall off. It's like midnite club 3 but with guns and fake cars and more "rubbin is racing".


Edit: The Glamorous song? Yea, thatll be in there a few days. If Non stop pop is ruining your life with ear worms give VBR or Mirror Park a shot, itll replace the thing stuck in your head with a slightly different riff stuck in your head.

Often I found that I was going too fast on jumps and missing the perfect spot by overshooting it. A fully upgraded super is going to be too fast at top speed for a lot of them. Also I found that it didn't always require 4 wheels but it is important to hit at least 1 front and 1 back wheel and get the other 2 down very quickly after.

I used the zentorno, usually at about 3/4 speed. Sultan is also good for a lot of these.

Some of the landing spots are pretty small. Some are very forgiving. I used a YouTube guide to get a good idea of the sweet spot on ones I was having trouble with.

Just yet another in a long line of design decisions in GTA:O that leaves pretty much everyone scratching their drat heads :shrug:
The only reasoning that I could ever see them holding out on it was for future DLC but since the phone glitch allowed a number of us to grab it perhaps it got put on the back burner. But the fact that they put all the time into making the skycrane with the big rear end magnet on it, and then only allow it for like a mission and a ½ in single player just further promotes more head scratching.



At this point I want to make the little :shrug: arms on the :rockstar: logo.

Honestly for me this is one is the things that makes sense that they don't have. They still can't get their poo poo together with stable servers after an entire year of beta testing and a few hundred millions in their pockets from it. How are they going to get vehicles to behave physics wise?

Didn't that crash the game/servers? If so, they patched it because programming is hard, not because they hate fun (they do hate fun though).
