I'm not sure that introducing new and unexpected game mechanics right in the middle of a heist is a great idea. The steps everyone needs to do during the heist should probably be explained in your heist room no?

I'm looking at you, fecking drill.

I'm looking at you, surprises I got being demolitions on prison break final.

But it was fun. Surprises.

(Of course I haven't done the prison guard/prisoner bit :v:)

Yeah I was just admiring my handiwork in setting that bus on fire when all of a sudden I had to steal a helicopter!

Incidentally, to the Goons I did Prison Break with earlier, sorry I died, a Cop in a helicopter rammed me from out of nowhere.

I found the trick after loving it up for a minute is that you cant have the trigger all the way down, you gotta hold it half-most way down and it wont overheat.

Just using it like a gun will overheat it and make everyone frustrated.

For those who need those sweet, sweet GTA bucks, the sad trombone glitch is back:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qwx6YDDwxMQ

Essentially:
- Buy a rusted Karin Rebel
- Go to LCS
- Go to Wheels>Wheel Type>Off Road>Stock Rims - Raider Raider rims will cost $5,000
- Go To Horns>Sad Trombone - the price WILL show but it won't charge you.
- Sell the Rebel
- You will make $34,000 per car and bypass the 46 minute wait.

It worked on PS4.

Oh my. Finally. Isn't the rebel only like 8k to buy already? That's a pretty sweet profit. But how is it bypassing the wait? I don't recall being able to sell owned cars back to back.

^^^^re: the drill. I did it the exact opposite way you're describing. I held the drill speed at full and just pressed the stick forward slightly. Worked better than trying to tap the speed.

I just jumped on and ran through it for about 30 minutes, and sold 15. I have a 10-car garage right by the LCS - 2 Popular Street. It sells for a net gain of 34k - I forgot to mention that.

Yes - it costs 3k, plus the tires for 5k - 8k total.

So, have heists made this game playable beyond using it as a way to talk to my out-of-town friends or am I better off just using Xbox party chat while I play something else?

For the record I quit playing a month or so after Online released. My friends continued to play for a while until boredom set in maybe four-five months ago. Will I be seriously hindered by my stats or does that not really matter?

Two tips for the wise:

2. If there's someone hanging around your neighborhood you don't know, shoot him.

The only stat that matters is stealth. Also weapons like the rocket launcher are gated by level, however you can buy weapons introduced via update at whatever level, like the special carbine.

I am starting to fully understand just how bad pubbies are at driving. Like the time one drove at full speed into the side of a bus because having an ontherwise empty road and loads of warning somehow wasn't quite enough.


I do like the way that Paige has become Lester's buddy. I always hired her in single player.

I think that your characters face changing might have something to do with the face bandana. My guy looked normal until I put on a face bandana, now he looks like some normal guy instead of a life-sized Good Guy Doll. I tried the edit appearance glitch from http://www.reddit.com/r/gtaglitches/comments/22vhl0/how_to_change_your_online_characters_appearance/ but it doesn't seem to be working. Goddamnit Rockstar.

1. Create a new character.
2. Level to 6.
3. Exit online.
4. Enter online.
5. At confirmation to edit, disconnect.
6. Re-enter online through choose character.
7. Select character you wish to edit.


It's for current gen - I used it awhile back (December maybe) and it still worked.

I think I'll farm credits :(

Unable to sell a duped Dubsta but I assume that's due to servers going poopy

The medals earned give different RP bonuses. Unless you're asking how they're decided, and it's weighted by who completes objectives, who drives mission vehicles, headshots, shot accuracy, and not taking damage.

I am sure a hacker knows all about rewarding and accomplished behavior. I mean, raping a chick with some mickeys is the same is getting laid right? Same result amirite guys? Nothing like work and not having to do it and get that sweet sweet payoff. :smug:
Selling tons of rebels in hopes I get to keep this cash. Then heist cuts won't be a big deal if someone wants to do a legit 0% payout later tonight.

Getting the unable to save error a lot as of now. So who knows if this is worth it.
I'm using my 10 car garage near the airport and the LSC that is like right next door. With the help of the mechanic I can get like 4 sold in under 10 minutes.
