Does anyone remember how to do the helmet+mask glitch? I was rocking a white helmet with pig mask on the PS3 but I don't remember how to do it.

Also did the transfer reset character appeareance? I kind of clicked through it and my character looks nothing like I remember. Can I change the appearance or am I poo poo out of luck?

At first it should give a close approximation of what your character looked like. And you definitely can change it when you import your character and your ALT. I don't know about changing it after that, however. After I switched from 360-> PS4 I only had the one opportunity at import to change appearance.

This happens to me when I resume GTA after using the new PS4 suspend feature. Closing GTA from the dashboard and then reopening it solves the problem for me. It's pretty annoying though.

Rockstar's said they want to do something like that in the future. I can't imagine it won't be in the next big expansion (which will supposedly be based around casino gambling and pink slip racing).

I just got invited to the group and I want to make sure to be a good member. Anyone have a quick list of things that "pubby" players do that I should avoid? In general I try not to be a dumb rear end unless it is understood by all members playing AND is funny.

Are you older than 10? Do you have at least a vague understanding of how this game works? If so, you're ahead of a ton of pubbies.

Just completed the Fleeca job and i'm rocking the Armored Kuruma now, that thing fuckin' owns. I still need to host a Heist so I can unlock the next ones, might try that this weekend. Which job gets you the Technical with the turret in the bed, and how much does it cost? I can't imagine it's anywhere near as expensive as the Insurgent, and after seeing my friend use his on PS4 I kinda want that one too :v:

One of the Trevor series A set-ups. it's $925k. the gun is more powerful than the insurgent, but the gunner is super exposed.

In general, people in either run from armored karumas. it's easy to headshot the gunner of either, then the driver is yours for the taking.

Last month it came up from one of those people who pokes around in the GTA updates and found evidence of casino gaming, lotteries, and car betting after the last update. It's really irritating to find the original source because of all these loving DomisLive/other copycats making videos about it but that's supposedly going to be the next step for GTAO.

There's been nothing to substantiate this. People went crazy with the rumor because they saw real estate signs on some large houses and on a website. It was for the Trevor side mission where he meets a corrupt realtor.

You can usually steal most cars except for the high end ones and get a free tracker by taking them into your garage, but you'll still need to take them to a mod shop to buy insurance. If you don't have one of the high end apartments yet with a 10 car garage and Heist room, buy one of those. If you do have one... save your money? Heists unlock extra special vehicles and they're expensive as hell. My Armored Kuruma was $525k.

Pretty sure you can buy a Sultan now. At least, I think they added that in one of the expansions. Check the Super Auto site maybe? I'm not 100% sure.

You can't steal any high-end cars off the street and keep them or sell them the same goes for police cars and other emergency vehicles. My first car was a Dominator which was pretty solid, there isn't really a must have car in general. Its all about preference as there are cars that are going to out perform others for doing different things - but with that being said a Sultan RS is pretty awesome at everything.

I don't think you can buy them online (unless they changed it at some point) so you have to steal one.
