So much error.

Nah the optimal route is to go to the Del Perro pier, steal some jetskis and take the water the rest of the way up to the boat.

Say, do you know how to do the walk?
God drat, so pissed. I have been trying to unlock the Savage for ages, and the one time I finally get to play the convoy mission, the pubbies in the game are loving idiots who pretty much just stood there and got shot to death. If I can finish that one mission, I wouldn't give a poo poo about anything else.

Same except I need the insurgents. I've spent god knows how long doing all the stupid setup missions for that heist over and over again. The pubbies always bail out after doing only 1 setup. No one joins heists when I host. Goons are rare on the Xbone when I'm on.

The worst part is once I finish the 3rd heist, they should all be unlocked for me as I've done everything except the actual Humane Lab Heist or whatever its called.

Ha! Had this exact thing the other day.

I sent out more friend requests and added myself to that PS4 list in the OP, hopefully now I can make some headway into the Trevor heist. Every attempt at the boat mission was ruined either by no one joining or 12 year olds who can't understand "don't stand there and let people shoot you".

Hope this gets another beefy update soon-ish, still can't do the Heists and free roam is just unfun armoured car fights :( Heists update made a few baby steps towards there being fun things to do in the world (daily objectives) but for the MMO-like persistent world they made Online sound like, there just isn't enough content in the year+ it's been out

Its straight free money with an armored kuruma, just do it out of order and ground troops cant hurt you.

Ignore the plane, drive straight to the base and jump the fence. Destroy the lazers, get in chopper and leave, fly plane to destination helipad. Get out of chopper get in plane, get out of plane and get in chopper. As soon as you get back in chopper on helipad you win.

Speaking of armored cars, people have figured out how to get Trevor's Duke O' Death into GTA Online.

There's no way in hell I'm replaying GTA5 after getting platinum on the PS3 version but for you people who've taken the dive can get yourself a new toy.

I need two more xbros to run a heist with me and my non goon friend. Should be around 5pm central time. I will split this poo poo evenly, as I really have only done two heists and want some of that sweet mad-cap action. Gt is Beastie Bomber, any help is appreciated, and we have mics.

If all that's holding you back is playing until you get to Trevor I don't think you have to (unless that's part of the glitch) since you can grab it with anyone. Hell in my game Trevor is the only one that doesn't have the Duke O' Death.

Was missing you though. I'm not sure how, I'm fairly sure we've played together several times but maybe just because we are both in LLJK. I recognize the GT anyways. I've just added you (I'm Matazar).

Finally, after a good many attempts got my Insurgent today, I think I prefer the Kuruma though. I don't think there's anything more satisfying than stalking random players and if you're able to shoot out their tyres, do so repeatedly while following and playing clown-horn every time they skid out or crash, repeat every time they try jack a new car or until they blow you up.

I think this already got patched, I just tried it a couple of times and every single time it said "Heist Member Died" (it could've been one of the other people on the mission but I tried 3 times and every time it popped up when I tried to get into my garage, so it's a little more than a coincidence)

Just ride the bikes! It's not that hard! Use your brakes! be cautious instead of going balls out, there's no need to!

If everyone stays on the bikes there or no roadblocks and they never really shoot at you. You just have to be not totally poo poo at riding a bike.

I've barked up this tree forever but nobody wants to accept it. Getting on the bike and following Lester's path is pretty much guaranteed success, and I don't even use the brakes until the mountain path.

I'm poo poo at everything :(((( But yeah hopefully over this holy-rear end weekend we'll get to give it another shot and I can finish that heist. That'll leave me with just the Humane Labs raid to do before I can give it a rest and happily go on freemode rampages with the rest of y'all.

This but gently caress the mountain path, make a left before the ambush tress bridge and drive the bike straight to the boat.

If anyone gets in a car or doubles up on a bike it gets a good deal harder for everyone because it dramatically changes cop spawns. Everyone needs to stay on bikes. One rear end in a top hat moron doing it "The easy way" fucks everyone in the rear end.

MY LIFE FOR YOU!
Well, I have learned that the trick to dealing with R* support is to just be firm and persistent. For some reason when I transferred my character, all my cars in my garage disappeared, including my Stinger GT. I contacted support and they gave me a questionnaire that I filled out. They came back with "we can't verify the problem. Sorry." When I questioned that, they gave me $100,000. When I said "thanks I guess, it just sucks that the 850,000 vehicle that I worked hard to get because money is a pain to get in this game is gone" they gave me $900,000 more. So problem solved. I now have enough money to get the GT again.

Me too. PS4, powerswift. my own personal heisting stuff is in the middle of series A but i'll do whatever. it's just too frustrating with randoms because there's always one guy who thinks standing out in the open trying to take a heli out with the pistol is a good idea.

edit: if we can get 4 together, maybe we could try a fast run through prison break.

Not if you're the guy out in front. The guy way out in front of everyone else gets like, one cop spawn every 20 seconds and no gunfire.

Also I will heist with anyone and everyone tonight and probably even pay attention between Pillars of Eternity fights.
