You don't ever have to fill it, you just kind of wind up with max ammo from picking it up over several months.

Anyone on PC want to grind out a few rally races in the near future to unlock the metallic car colors? I've been meaning to do this since 2013 but never got around to it.

It probably didn't help that for whatever reason their website wasn't loading for the past four or so hours.

I was doing exactly that, but it wouldn't work :shrug:

I caved like a weak fool and repurchased my missing Monroe. The car itself plus full mods cost $830k which I hope to see back from R* :(

yes

What's more hosed is the inability to manually set the game to only join invite only sessions. It would make load times near instant because the entire reason load times are so horrendous is the game loading in all other players. This method or forcing you into open districts when you exit any sort of lobby is one of the greatest online game design blunders of this decade.

What is additionally hosed up is the game continually throwing me players in matchmaking who cannot speak english much less manage to not die on a normal difficulty mission.

Make a new PSN or XBL account. Play the story mode intro on the console. Link the console PSN or XBL account to your PC rockstar social account. Enjoy your CRX.

Speaking of which I'd like to find a goon who can do this for me on a throwaway PSN/XBL account considering I don't have any consoles.

It wasn't bad for me, usually about 3K to fully stock up. Then I bought the homing launcher and shot all those off. In addition to some other pub stomping, my full ammo ended up costing 17K.

At one point I considered draining all my bullets and seeing how much it would cost to fully restock them. I started with the musket. You can probably imagine how far I got before I gave up.

The musket uses the same ammo as some of the rifles. shooting with the rifles makes the musket ammo go down. I would suggest you give it another shot.

or just empty and re-buy one clip and do the math.

could be 100k+ depending on your current ammo supply and how much ammo you can carry.

It's cheaper to fill at ammunation IF you have discounts because of commendations, etc. I lost all my commendations in the transfer so instead of paying $475 for a sticky, it's back up to $600. :(

Also the speed at which you can buy stickies in Ammunation is loving slow compared to the consoles.

Has anyone ever gotten an invite for a random heist to work, or an invite to a friends game to work? Every single time I've tried it I get "player is no longer in session" or "session full" even when my friend is sitting 3 feet away IRL and I can see he is still in the session alone.

Its as if the only way to play with friends for PC at the moment is through crews

Are heists supposed to be a multi-part endeavor? I always seem to end up in the final part. Also what are the cars with pink semi-circle around them?

Yes. Each heist has 4-5 setup missions before the actual heist itself. You don't need the same people in the crew the entire time which has its pluses and negatives.

Rockstar really needs to get on the ball and make an option for disabling getting booted back to singleplayer when game is full/host disconnected/cannot connect to game/cannot find a public lobby/etc. I'm playing multiplayer, I don't want it to waste time loading singleplayer when I'm not going to play singleplayer. At present, this game is more like GTA: Loading Screen.

Yeah it's pretty infuriating. I don't know who decided to implement the kick back to single player from multiplayer but it's loving stupid as hell. If I wanted to play single player, I'd be in single player already!

There are so many mind boggling design choices in this game

It should be noted that pink doesn't mean crew member. Crew color means crew member. It's just that every goon crew picked pink because it stands out.

You only see the half-circle for crew members with LLJK as their active crew. If I'm LLJK and you're say WEZL, I won't see it and you won't see mine even thought we're in both crews.

I had great success using the Camping the Stairs mumble to coordinate/play with goons last night; there's a thread in PGS with all the access information. The CTS mumble has a bunch of channels for GTAV, so jump in one and ask if they have space (if they're doing heists).

Just did the math on this.


pewpew total: $174505

Sniper $72593
rifle $17998
smg $18831
machine $11348
pistol $23747
minigun $14999
shotgun $14999


boom total: $48750

grenade launcher: $5000
Proximity: $5000
sticky: $15000
homing: $3750
teargas: $3750
Grenade: $6250
rocket: $10000

grand total $223255

$73k of that is the sniper rifle, the marksman rifle uses the same ammo and shoots about 144 rounds per minute including reloading, so it would take 69.4 minutes of holding the trigger down to deplete all that sniper rifle ammo.

Yes, bring up the social club menu and make sure the Game Settings tab is set to friends because Rockstar are incompetent and have chosen to have a seperate tab for this one single privacy option instead of listing it under the privacy tab with everything else.

When I did this I didn't write down the price to refill, but I did mark the time: it took about 3 hours of continuously shooting every ammo class I had using the fastest weapon for each ammo type (eg assault shotgun for shotgun ammo, marksman rifle for sniper ammo, etc)
