If this were real life, I would have piloted this helicopter with you still in it.

when you reach a higher level you get grenades and remote bombs, it's not terribly high. A lot of people have this car

which makes you nigh impervious to bullets so if you see one with those windows your odds of killing the driver are very slim (not impossible but slim)

It's also a car that's loving annoying at times as the armor windows won't let you shoot at certain angles, and you can't toss remote bombs out of it.

I know it's normal for cars to go missing in SP but is it normal for fully insured and tracked cars to go missing in GTA:O? Pretty sure one of my muscle cars has just vanished into thin air.

Make sure it's not in the insurance company or impound. somes cars don't show up in my garage but show up in the list my mechanic can deliver.

the "injured" facial expression is unexpectedly useful to make you look inbred
in a way a wood panelled station wagon is more practical because it's got 4 seats but can't compete with a duneloader with a load of junk in the back for having "the look"

as i thought though, levelling a new character is a completely pointless hardship and about all alts are good for is different player profiles on the same account

You can buy a Stallion from the Southern San Andreas Super Autos website on your phone. It'll cost you 71k. I don't think you can buy a hard top variant but the convertible is available.

At what point does this happen, because I've been spending money as fast as I get it. I have a high-end apartment, garage is almost full of cars, fully-stocked weapon wheel and full ammo, a bunch of clothes... but then I got the pre-order bonus too so mileage may vary.

Thanks from me too! I didn't go with the crew respray but I did add the decal, some pink neons, a clown horn and dollar sign rims.

Big thanks to the Prison Break crew as well for putting up with me as a clueless demo on my first run. Can't help but feel I may be spoiled for future runs with that quick landing tactic.

buying cheaper cars is a bad idea since it always leads to regret when you want something more armored/faster. Unless there's some novelty value to it.

This can also apply to the front stoop of a High Mental State player when they're in their fancy apartment. I tried it once, there was a guy with a red skull who'd stopped to get a car out of his garage, and I peppered the ground outside with proximity mines and also waited with a homing launcher. He came out, spawned ahead of the mines but I was ready with the launcher and blew the poo poo out of his van. Then I went passive... feels good, man.

I might make that my hobby now :getin:

e: also you might be wondering about insurance costs? The payout for killing a red skull player overwrites that pretty handily.

VV Oh yeah? I thought I remembered there being no red cash deduction. Neat!

Red Skull = Bounty = No Insurance Payout


Also, if you really want to gently caress with people, wait till they go into a store and huck a Prox Mine above the front door. Maybe start beating on their car with a bat if you want to speed the process up.

New players have no idea how good they have it as compared to console launch. It was a complete disaster. Sure, it's still wonky as gently caress, and even so is still a hundred times better than the early days.
