I tried to make a sleeper Regina but it's still agonizingly slow even with every performance upgrade :( it's nice to stare at in my garage but I'd never take it out in the lobby.

I'll probably have to go with a Warrener even though I'd prefer something more gigantic and obnoxious.

Honestly I've grabbed a bati and not looked back. Yeah I'm toast if I get shot, but chases are super exciting because if I don't zip down alleys or pop a wheelie to go flying up a cliff then it's all over.

Plus people get irrationally mad in jobs when I refuse to hop in their car. Sometimes they change their tune after I driveby shotgun whoever was chasing them, but mostly they stay mad which is fine because seriously I feel safer on a motorcycle than in the passengar seat

Please tell me I can get the musket on the 360. Also it's depressing only being able to play on the 360 since there's like 30 goons left and I'm not sure if they're active.

My advice is don't let your motherboard die two days after buying this for the pc. :saddowns:

The musket was released with the independence day update so you should still be allowed to buy it, unless you were actually required to buy it on independence day and you did not.

I've used all 10 slots, and I need at least 10 more. Every time I level up, I visit the clothes store straight away, to see what's unlocked. Earlier this week I spent half the evening hanging out in the store, dressing up my character.

To me, this game is pretty much The Sims with guns.

The Tommy Gun was released two Valentine's Days' ago. As far as I know, it wasn't released again this past February, so if you didn't get last year, you can't.
I would imagine there will be a paid DLC down the road to bring the special holiday/loyalty items to everyone.

On the moon... they don't make Neo Kobe Pizza.

I forgot to mention it but that article I linked about the PC version stuff coming to consoles also has a preview picture of some of the new content coming in future updates. According to Rockstar, they will have "some very cool new toys" for us to spend our money on, which I imagine starts at 5 digits minimum because the Heists update started rolling out 4-5 figure clothing items. C.R.E.A.M.

Buy a Guardian, paint it something loud, and slam it to the ground along with all the powertrain mods. It is surprisingly quick for it's size.

I'll find that car doing 100 down some back alley but when I need it it's never around.

Wiki says that pier parking and observatory but I have never found it there ever. I usually find it in Vinewood in someone's driveway in those hilly neighborhoods

Depends on the car and where you found it.

Landstalkers and F620s give good returns, FQ2s give some decent change (also common as poo poo).

It's a consistent salary, at the very least.

If it's an F620, it's 12k. There is an achievement for exporting vehicles. But nothing special.

Simeon's missions usually pay around 7k for the cars that aren't hard to find, minus any damages and minus ~780 for paint, oh yea and you have to get rid of a 2 star police rating once you take the car and drive all the way to the southern docks. So, they are actually kind of awful. Selling a Baller or Felon every 45 minutes is way easier and pays more.

I always do the F620 when it's requested because the payout is good and it spawns without fail at the lower pier parking lot.

The PC version exclusive content is coming to consoles. "The Lab" radio station is coming to all four platforms and the Rockstar Editor is coming to PS4 and Xbone in a future title update.

Lock And Load is legitimately one of my favourite songs in the game. It's a surprisingly good station!

E: For GTA5 hardcore difficulty mode, try driving a Blade in first person. Not challenging enough? Make your character duck down in his seat. In oncoming traffic :black101:

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:
Also you can't be in passive anymore. It disables it and will kick you out of passive for getting in the vehicle. I found this out the hard way, by getting bombed 2 times, while I knew I was suppose to be in passive mode. Kind of fun and makes going after whoever is in one, more fun. Just wish it wasn't so much a haha you wasted money on a paint job, rather than just get the car there in one piece.

I usually steal the high priority export vehicle, put a remote bomb in it at LSC and then let someone else steal it.

Right before they get to Simeon's place I send them a text that just says "Boom" and detonate it.


I also used to keep a stock-looking Phoenix on PS3 to do this with. It was my personal car (insured) but it was also rare so I could count on pubbies blasting me and stealing it if they saw me in it.

I used to like taking the vehicle and putting an ignition bomb in it. Then I would just drive around until someone killed me for it and then once they got in thinking they were going to make some money, boom.

Also selling to Simeon doesn't take into account any mods on the car. I found one of the modded Sentinel XS spawns in Vinewood, which sells for just under $15k at a mod shop. It happened to be on Simeon's list, so I took it to him (in perfect condition) thinking I might get bonus cash, but no, it only paid out the normal $9k.

According to goons you simply shoot him in the head through the narrow slit while he is driving at 80 mph then dive out the way before the car hits you. But yeah GTA Online is basically Bad Decisions: The Video Game so gently caress you.

Me and a friend are grinding the Fleeca heist elite challenge every day now. It pays pretty well, at about an average of 120k per run, which isn't bad for 20 min of work. You can only do it once a day though.

The restrictions are ridiculously strict, for the Fleeca heist you pretty much have to start from the Alta St apartment, otherwise you'll fail on the time limit.

I like freeroam because I get to be a dick it's just kind of a downer when I finally manage to do something about an armored vehicle then lose all my loving money.

If i'm broke do they get anything? Ammo is cheap and I don't need much else so if I can be broke and still wage jihad then it's all good.

Yeah the Fleeca one i could see as being doable because there is not shooting involved, but i don't understand how the Prison Break one is possible. Can you do it with the mission set to easy? I've never done easy but maybe you can just run and gun through all the Noose then?

The design choice to be able to get the armored Kuruma outside of the Fleeca Heist is what is truly the bad decision, as it trivializes all of the NPCs that don't have explosives... Which I think is all of them.
