Ducking has saved my rear end so many times. Yesterday this guy was chasing me while I drove around, ducked, and spent at least 5 clips into my car before I stickied him. Today this guy can after me, I ducked, went around some hedges to park and get out to use car as cover. My friend and I just lit him up as he turned the corner :black101:

This isn't true anymore on PS4/Bone. You can set the in car scheme to "aim + shoot" which makes L1 aim and L2 fire in a vehicle you are driving. It's quite nice actually.

rub it in why don't ya, all you next-gen jerks :arghfist::(

that's pretty cool, actually. Good on Rockstar for making an actual improvement to gameplay!

The best part of ducking is it gives you a fighting chance when trying to run down pubbies who are on foot. I can normally kill them before they can kill me if I duck as I approach at full speed.

I seem to have a problem with doing jazz hands when anyone approaches. Although the other day I managed to get 3 people around me in their cars, we were all doing donuts until I put a bomb on each car, drove off, and detonated.

yeah that's my list. I didn't know the Sweeper used LMG ammo - I've never paid attention to ammo since I got 9999 of everything a year ago and just push the buy all ammo button all the time. :v:

I just changed it (removed the Sweeper from SMG, edited a couple things to compensate) so you might want to update geeves.


I think the micro has its place for killing drivers without blowing up cars -- basically only on missions. The AP is more accurate but the way drivebys work with the stupid "can't aim unless you're already shooting" poo poo sometimes the micro is a safer choice. In general, the AP pistol is better, absolutely.

I was going to mentioned the L1+R1 but someone got to that, however I think it should be noted on guns, I straight up see npcs die a lot faster with less bullets using the advanced rifle, damned what the stats say. The bullpup is just garbage, looks stupid, especially with the extended clip and the special carbine is cooler, for being a G36 knockoff.

The rifles that are available at level 1 (assuming you somehow bypass lemar's race, insuring the car, robbing the store and the doing the drug sting, before getting to 5) Marksman, Combat shotgun (new saiga-12 ripoff), pistol, SNS pistol, Heavy pistol, Sawed-off shotty and I think the bullpup shotgun. I am not sure of the melee weapons, most were unlocked when I had access to the ammunation on my new character.

I should mentioned I think I was like 6 or 7 at the time, when I had first access due to owning the poo poo out of the scrubs also at level 1, and stealing all the kills and extra little bits of RP that would level me faster.

Oh absolutely! Using my car as a 3500lb sledhgehammer is much more effective now! I can probably go 4/5 even if they see me coming as long as I have some speed. With a bulletproof helmet on I rarely get killed driving past people anymore when ducking.

That is legit as gently caress, cool. I just got the bullet proof helmet for my guy, in hope of trying to look more "war journalist zombie", if that can even make sense.

I do love the idea, of going around recently as a passive mode player but in a cab and having the cabbie shot or I am driving and picking up people with a bounty and trying to cab them around, away from the mayhem.

All helmets give you some headshot protection, not sure if the Bulletproof Helmets are better than others in that regard. People seem to think so.

Rudimentary testing let me survive 2 headshots while wearing it, so yeah. Surviving 2 headshots makes a huge difference when you are ducking in a car and someone is shooting at you.

I actually had to shoot a guy 3 times with the sniper rifle the other day, and the second shot I swear was a headshot, without a helmet. He stood still for the thirdshot, I think he knew he was done, or trying to use some snacks.

Oddly he was in cover. At the LCS, taking cover on the east side, from where I was shooting, instead of the opposite rooftop that has since been hosed over for sniping. (the one with slanted rooftop, just west of DT LCS)

So is it too much to ask for, that GTA5.5/6/hopefully vice city, should have a ton of copy and paste, interiors just for functionality of gas station, strip club, gun store? I just don't see why the mom and pop Wine Merchant can't be robbed just the same as a gas station.

While it could be lag, maybe my "headshot" was off? I am not entirely sure how accurate the sniper is with the silencer. I prefer the heavy, but I am using what I have on my low level.

I do admit I have gotten a ridiculously crazy kill, from long distance sniping someone, when they seemed passed the LoS in one of those fancy super cars, I just took a random shot; last chance--last shot in the clip--why not, nothing to lose, and connected. I really should have gone passive instantly and tried to do sharefactory, since it was pretty rad, and I typically save a bunch of the that stuff.

I did the glitch awhile back to get my own Darth Vader helmet/mask setup and how I remember it going was you needed to set the helmet as the one your character puts on while riding a bike/ATV then get on an ATV, then while your character is putting on the helmet you have to enter that menu where you can equip hats/masks/helmets/etc and quickly select the mask you want while your character is putting on the helmet.

I'm noticing this a lot on the PS4. The other thing is, I'll hit them and as I watch through the scope, they just stand there and suddenly fall over seconds after I've hit them instead of immediately. I'm guessing it's the lag.

And then when we were all in a lobby together on Monday night and BitBasher was driving around in the riot van, it was skipping all over the place like crazy.

I found that although I hadn't been accepted I had instead recieved an invite to join - check that?

Also server lag - it definitely exists, especially at high speeds. Taking the Zentorno out on the freeway will cause cars to warp and flicker in and out all over the place. I imagine thats caused by server load and should improve with time. I've noticed I've been getting into games and lobbies much quicker this week so I assume the initial rush of new players is over (or at least until Christmas).
