Does anyone know if the new cars will only be available at the holidays? Really wish I didn't blow my cash on that stupid sub... And now I gotta buy turbos again. Guess I can buy now and upgrade later.

Swapping turbos out seemed pretty unnecessary. I won every single land race against pubbies since launch and left my turbos on for it. I just didn't want to waste the cash swapping them off and on.

Pretty sure the new cars are not limited time only. The only cars I can remember that were that way were announced that way.

I have to admit, I'll use prox mines to be a total degenerate rear end in a top hat, but I think putting them in is a mistake. It's griefer orgasm worthy. I'll be tossing them on the sidewalk outside shops every time I see a player in a shop when I drive past. You can't pull out your gun in a shop to get rid of them.

Are there performance upgrades on the new Jester and Massacro? Worth getting the new ones if I have the old ones?

Either way I'm so getting on this when I have some time. Which will probably not be today.

AT mines + pubs = what I can only imagine a shitload of fun.

There was what? A half dozen or more Goons running around when that guy was strafing us with the jet? If that same incident happened tonight then we would have seen smoke trails from a half dozen or more missiles being fired from various places within a couple mile radius. I can picture it.

oh hey, i actually sniped that fucker out of the jet once. It was the absolute highlight of my GTA career :D

I fired at least that many rounds at him but I'm not even sure if I hit the jet. Do you have to lead the target like in that one SP mission or is it a lazer beam if he's in your crosshairs?

I have no idea, someone who's better than me can probably answer though. I just kept shooting and aiming at him as best as i could.

I think someone said before there is no lead time though? it just hits where you aim instantly? IDK :shrug:

Comedy is basically self-deprecation.
The Maniac Cop lives for Christmas! I'm unreasonably psyched to get these new masks and sweaters. If only I could put down Dragon Age: Inquisition...

For the little bit I was there for Sandy Shores Airfield was a loving war zone. Me and M_P_5 just joined in with the intention of doing some missions but we couldn't stop ourselves from getting involved. I wish I could find out why I only get NAT type errors when me and M_P_5 are in a party with others, it's pretty annoying.

No, you do not need to lead targets. The sniper rifle is hitscan as far as I can tell.

As previous experience says, stats are probably the poorest indicator of what the car is actually capable of.
If you're not into min/maxing it simply means try out the cars for yourself. Try a few races with each car. Whichever feels the best to you just go with it.

If you are into min/maxing by all means let someone else tell you what to drive... Although admittedly knowing the top speed is actually helpful.

The (Racecar) variants don't seem to be any faster, and don't come with any upgrades built-in or anything. I think it's just the livery. I have too much money from my "dead hooker in the car" exploit days, so ... whatevs.


You can't change the livery, but you can change the colors underneath.

What are the best locations for apartments in GTA:O?

I currently have an apartment in Eclipse Towers but with the recent increase in property limits I was thinking of picking up another two. Do your cars get repaired automatically in any of the garages or only the high end ones? Same deal, can I get a mechanic to deliver any of my cars, or is that only a high end apartment feature?

Money is not an issue as I stocked up on GTA funbux through the gamestop half off sale.
