Without getting added to the cheater pool? What about unlocking things. Because if you can cheat those race 50 requirements I would do that in a heart beat.

Fuck you say?
They did an astonishingly good job with the heists and it feels incredibly baller to pull them off successfully. I'm lucky enough to be rolling with a group of competent friends on voice comms, so we'll always manage to beat it, but man is it a lot of fun to see how they turn out. It's impressive how people fall into natural roles: I've become the go-to guy for helicopter objectives, one of my friends is a natural airplane pilot, and some of my buddies are much better at shooting and stealth than me. Really good stuff.

I wish there were more regular missions that were available for 6+ players vs AI, though. It's silly that 4 is the ballpark figure, I can't get everyone involved with that limit.

> BEWARE, COWARD :ovr:


Whereas my friends I've been trying to heist with (at least one in particular, though it's a bit hard to tell) are pretty fuckin incompetent. I want to get on with this heist so I can unlock the rest of them for myself (and get some money), but I don't want to cheese them off in turn because I skipped a mission on them. Is there a way to redo only a particular heist setup mission (or finale) or do I have to do the whole heist?

For a game with a cash shop this is an amazing oversight.

Its likely you could use cheat engine to alter your number of races of won, but it'd be a pain in the rear end to isolate the value.

Obviously, I have no idea if this is true or not, but doing this in a solo session may not get you added to the cheater pool since solo sessions might be considered single player.

Some people in the goon crew are great, a few are pretty bad about this. I generally don't kill others in the crew, but every so often there's someone who's just a jackass I guess who teamkills constantly.

I would imagine the entire reason the game validates on the rockstar social club is so they could ban cheaters game keys and lock out online.

The money and level stuff doesn't even matter. The cheating in races, and making yourself invincible poo poo that ruins everybody elses game is the big problem.

WARNING! At the moment, it's not clear if this mod could get you banned for cheating. Since the mod works in GTA 5 Online, and changes the memory settings, it could be viewed as a figurative cheat and possibly result in a ban. Frankly, it could also be seen as a literal cheat, since you'll have a more expansive view than other players. Use this mod at your own risk! Better yet, let someone else use it at their own risk and wait to see if anything bad happens to them.

Buy a high end apartment to host the heists if you wanna be the leader. The DLC weapons on the right wall at Ammunation are all fairly solid and aren't rank locked.

Wow it is entirely too easy to get griefed in this game. Walk into gun store, walk out to get sniped by a dude camping across the street since the map gives you no idea of what is outside the bounds of the building.

First thing is, go passive if you are doing mundane things. The first rule of not getting griefed/trolled in gtao, the wild west of doing mundane tasks. Like imagine if there was a psychopath out there that knew that you could stop them and knew where you were via a phone app, and saw you were passive buying groceries unaware, why wouldn't they kill you? I guess the other thing is, they can still kill you in passive if they shoot the clerk from outside of the building and you are still inside, that is just the rotten life in Los Santos.

Alternative, just press some button on the bottom right corner from local map, to full scale city map. PS4, is like options, or the touch pad.

Anyone up for going through every heist with a single team and getting all those 100k and million rewards? Same team, in order, etc. Maybe over the course of a day or two? Maybe even in first person mode? I'd also like to do the elite heist challenges sometime. Got one goon, need two more. I'll host.

3 Alta St's apartments are great for being among the cheapest apartments that can still do heists, and being right across from a subway entrance to use to dodge the cops in (your interaction menu lets you set a quick gps route to your properties, so setting one to home gets you right across from the entrance). It's also right on one of the roads that go down to the airport, is a quick jaunt from one of the los santos customs sites.

Is anyone else using a DS4 for this? I know at one point I was able to use it to fly planes but lately I've been unable to get it to work for some reason. I use Xinput Mapper (version 1.22 I think?) and I know the ds4 is reading because I tested in Dark Souls 2 and also when I press the the ps4 home button it shows an xbox controller logo. Any ideas?

Is there an issue with online heists having sync issues where you will go into the objective point and the game just sits there? Cannot access any menus or back out when it happens, and it forces me to force the client closed.

It is natively supported. BUT dealing with the DS4 in other games finally pissed me off completely and I went and got the first seemingly-good third party controller I've ever seen (because I have bad luck with plain 360 controllers) and have been much happier since

if you're in full screen, alt-tab out and back in and it should fix it. if you're windowed, alt+enter goes full screen, then alt tab to fix, then alt enter to go back to window

The most significant thing this trick/fix works for is the bug at the end of the Flecca Job's first setup mission that breaks at the very end when you attempt to enter your garage.

On my first run through of the heists I hosed myself by force quitting when that happened and I missed out on the credit for the two awards that give an extra 1 million each. Fortunately you can fix the credit for the playing with the same friends one by just replaying it, but fair warning to anyone trying for that award money: force quitting fucks up credit tracking.

GTA Online is a case study into how not to manage an online game. The lobby system makes the game pretty much unplayable if you want to do stuff, and they decided that giving people access to invincible cars would be a great addition to free roam. From what i've heard it's still better than GTA 4's multiplayer, so maybe in 5 years they'll be able to get something playable with GTA VI. At least the heists are fun.

Is there any way to have the game throw you into an invite only session by default?

This scenario happens to me quite frequently:
1.) I'm in an invite only session in my apartment, specifically looking to do an instanced multiplayer mission
2.) Attempt to join game invite
3.) Game is full and or or has left the lobby
4.) GTAV transfers me into a public online session instead of just kicking me back to the invite only session I was just in

Same thing happens when an instanced mission ends and I want to go back to freeroam. There's no option to join a crew only or invite only session until I load into the public one.

It's the one major gripe I have about GTA:O and could easily be solved by having a setting to always move to an invite-only session. Also for the record it's not the fact that I have to interact with other players, it's the loading 20+ other people into the game which takes forever compared to an instant load on an invite-only session.

Agreed. The game seems to not prioritize low latency players either. I'm frequently paired with people using chinese and cyrillic characters in text chat.

because USB hardware interfaces are pretty complex? Especially when you're trying to take a peripheral with drivers specifically designed for very specific hardware (PS4) and trying to port that over to a huge variety of different computer hardware.
