The level 80 guy will act just as retarded as the level 8 guy. Play golf. Fist-fighting NPCs and punching occupied vehicles used to do a lot but R* has done everything to ensure that you can't readily grind secondary stats while ignoring disappearing closet and garage items, horrifying skin cancer, and giant meteors tumbling from the heavens and into downtown. Also, while the level 80 dude acts just like the level 8 dude, the level 80 dude has like 40% more health and armor each.

I have found that I must play 9-18 holes of golf everyday, and that the variables hardly mean dick. A +2 wind will drift the same as a +5. I'll play one round -2, play it again with same conditions, and be +4. I love it. Also found out while on a Jason Vorheese rampage that a playboy style mansion is across the street. I saw a topless chick with an impressive rack in the grotto and felt compelled to kill with a knife.

Fastest way to train strength is probably to launch a Geralt mission and drive to the beach area. There's tons of surfers and bodybuilders there that fight back, and take a few hits to go down, and you'll never get the police on you while on a Geralt mission. It's pretty boring, though. Mostly because it takes like 20 punches to go up one percent.

Actively punching dudes is probably the wrong way of going about it tbh, since if you just run along the boardwalk punching people in the back of the head while they flee you can more easily autopilot it while watching a show or listening to a podcast. Ducking incoming punches requires more concentration on the boring task.

I've been trying to do this lately and whenever I go there, the beach is almost abandoned, save for the odd chick in a bikini, homeless guy, or surfer. Are there some missions that just cut down the population or something? I have literally never seen bodybuilders at the beach (even in the little muscle beach analogue).

Start up any random Gerald mission and hit up the beach. The muscle guys work out on the equipment from dawn till dusk and can eat the most punches. Farm them until nightfall then run up and down the sidewalk punching hobos and hookers until sunrise. e: Speaking of strength, does anyone know if it affects rolling when you hit the ground after a fall? Have been doing Pacific Standard with some buddies and kept yelling at them to roll after they climb over the walls in the alley. They claimed that they were mashing the button, but they would always just splat and spew out cash. I have max strength and they all had less than one bar. Not sure if there really is a connection there or if they're just retards. Mondian fucked around with this message at 17:57 on May 20, 2015 |

I've never gotten the impression that it was an active thing, just based on whether you're trying to jump too far. Supposedly strength makes you more durable in the sense of taking physical (non-bullet) punishment and I feel like I take less fall damage than players with low strength. It might affect it in that way. Edit: Like the game knows if you're gonna fall too far as soon as you jump, my dude does the ragdoll faceplant poo poo as soon as I crest a jump that is too high up. He doesn't ragdoll when you actually hit the ground, the game decided long before that.

Considering there is no button to engage a falling roll and there's only one spot you can climb that fence without splatting, you probably shouldn't be yelling at your friends.

Are you kidding? You hit spacebar. Both of the walls you climb over you can avoid taking damage on. The first wall you go over has a landing midway that covers half the wall, the second wall you can roll when you go over anywhere along it. Those falls aren't far enough to rag-doll and you can't roll at the end of a fall where you are rag-dolling anyway. Its not even ten feet and I was rolling and avoiding damage each time, while my three teammates never could, despite mashing spacebar.

You have to leap that fence far enough to the left. There's a large section near the edge of the building you jump to that you will enter a splat animation because it wants you to fall all the way, even if you jumped onto the building. There is no button to engage a falling roll, it just happens at a certain height and out of circumstances like the above.

Golf seeems to be the only thing that noticeably increased my stregth in a short amount of time. Playing 9 holes or 1 hole didn't make any noticeable difference in stregth gain. Playing alone or with another player didn't matter either. So playing the shortest hole (# 6) repeatedly gave me 1 stregth bar after 20 minutes. The only thing slowing down grinding stregth this way is the fact I have to load after every hole. And you make no money amd little RP too.

You're right that there's no button and that the roll is passive, but there is something to it. Here's a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OeiL_8ZUrxc 100% of the time I follow that path and that is the outcome. Quick recovery, no damage taken. When my three teammates followed the exact same path, they would fall flat on their loving faces and take damage every single time.

The roll has to do with sprinting, I'm never mashing anything when I roll. That guy seems to be sprinting the entire time. Speaking of which, if you are using mouse and keyboard, don't be mashing sprint. Took me a while to realize it since I switch between gamepad and mouse so often, but there's no button tap mechanic to sprinting. If you are tapping the button, you are just toggling sprint on and off. Is this how it works if you end up binding sprint to L3? I haven't figured out how to heavy bike sprint with the mouse and keyboard. I also can't quite figure out swimming, is there some sort of sprint with that on the surface? Cause I just seem to dive underwater whenever I try.Keshik posted:Jesus Christ this loving game is 99.99996% sitting in a goddamned lobby waiting for three people to join you, then praying one of them doesn't loving decide to quit the moment you get to the next heist setup screen, thus crashing to not back to the previous screen, not even back into the GTA Online session, but back into loving STORY MODE SO YOU HAVE TO RELOAD GTA ONLINE AGAIN SO IT TAKES loving FOREVER Do some solo missions. What rank are you? As you rank up, stuff starts to unlock in the world like gang attacks and armored trucks and stuff. Take a chill pill and just drive around for a bit. I said come in! posted:This why i'll never touch heists. They were cooler in the single player. Finally did my first heist last night. My buddy unlocked his high end apartment so we did the Fleeca job together. We managed to do almost do it on the first go except at the very end it was kind of unclear as to how the game wanted you to escape so I tried to get creative and ended up missing whatever time limit was on there when I got stuck for a few seconds. Kinda don't see the point of the helicopter escape, the police have helicopters too and the Armored Kuruma is almost certainly more durable than that helicopter. Also if I was being lifted off anyway, why not use the helicopter as the getaway vehicle to begin with? The whole drive up I was trying to call in my jetski in hopes of using that, but was ultimately disappointed. SolidSnakesBandana fucked around with this message at 19:02 on May 20, 2015 |

My best rando heist story was raiding the yacht for Series A. Everything went fine besides one death until we went to escape the cops on the jetskis. One of the randos jumped in the water and couldn't figure out how to surface, so he just swam in circles while everyone yelled at him until he drowned and we failed.

I've had 2 pubbie heists go well, out of probably 30-40. I've had 99% of my Goon heists (orchestrated via Mumble. GET IN MUMBLE) go well. I joined one pubbie heists and a lvl 3 was in it. Quit straight away and the host texted me and said "Come back". Just told him no way, heisting at level 3 is a bad idea as the guy has no health and hardly any armor.

Even going into it blind as a pilot I realized I could just fly in circles constantly and never get shot down, it's honestly the easiest and least stressful part of that heist. I really don't like being in the actual prison itself, because the shootout is so long that it chews through all 4 of my super heavy armor, even when I'm in cover 100% of the time and only popping out to kill a dude or two. I really don't get how you avoid getting randomly headshot.

I want to get better at flying helicopters. And planes, but mostly helicopters. I'm awful with them, even with flying skill around, I dunno, 85.

Go passive (or join a solo session) and practice hopping from rooftop to rooftop in downtown LS. Once you get the hang of landing/taking off in tight spaces, practice flying under the bridges in the canal. Eventually you should be able to fly under all of them that are wide enough for your rotors to clear. Most people don't use the yaw controls enough (shoulder buttons on your gamepad). It makes small corrections much much easier.

If you're doing missions/heists and don't care if there are no random people, start online with one of the solo/friends only/invite only lobby types and you will load much faster back in after exiting to free roam. It does mean you need to load up single player when you first start the game to set it to that, but the faster load times over all makes up for it.
