If you're on PC then the likelihood is pretty high. The semi-transparent car / player sounds like passive mode, from which he shouldn't be able to shoot. However, it could just be a glitch, like this:

You sure that was god mode? On the Xbox One I've occasionally gone into Passive, done a mission, come back out and still be passive as far as no one being able to shoot me, but can still shoot back at them/use explosives/etc.

I AM THE HEAT MISER
Just posting to say I have had a ton of fun this past week trophy hunting on the ps4. I've been doing the stunt jump and aerial challenges online while also doing the survive a bounty trophy. poo poo gets hectic when the stunt jumps are close to dots on the radar!! Haven't had so much fun online in a long time trying to escape from pubbies as they want that sweet $GTA$ bounty money! 'Off the radar' is really useful.

In short give it a go if you get bored of heisting!!

Nah it probably is a hacker. pc hackers often appear transparent as that seems to be how the god mode hack works.

I was following some guy around playing my musical horn and then he tried to shoot at me but couldn't because I was in passive mode. He then went behind cover and 5 seconds later popped out and shot me dead even though I was in passive mode (and he had already tried to shoot me).

I'm pretty sure that guy was up to something. I've seen a few suspicious people on the Xbox One including one guy who was doing the old shoot rpgs from your pistol hack.

It's one of the few contact missions that lets you use a whole 6 people, and since you get money and rp multipliers for the more people playing a mission (and more if they're your friends and even more if they're crew), it can end up with a lot more money for the time played.

Obviously if you can only get 4 dudes together it won't pay out more than most.

It's also easily solo-able with as little as a sniper rifle.

On top of that, it's the first one in the list if you start it from the menus!

Yeah this happens a bunch. You can normally just go into passive yourself to stop it. Head over to the Crew thread and get yourself a goon tag. And get on Mumble! Camping the Stairs details are in PGS.. All the cool shenanigans go down there. And some less cool shenanigans, admittedly.

another game at nationwide arena. everybody keeps asking me if they can fuck the cannon. buddy, they don't even let me fuck it

Anybody ever had the game glitch when you're supposed to be in somebody's apartment waiting to do a heist? I was in the apartment, which never fully loaded. As a result, I fell about 15 stories before hitting my head on a level which loaded, then free-fell the rest of the way to "You Committed Suicide". :wtc:

Tony Montana posted:

Please tell me what the best parts of the game are. I'm new and don't have your obvious experience

I like doing the heists (at least I'm not to the point where they're boring yet) and any collaborative missions (the one where you steal the C-130 from LSIA is a good time). I loved Cops 'n Crooks on GTA IV, so missions like the one near Paleto where you have two teams trying to run the cocaine to the white water rafting place are fun to me. I had a surprising amount of fun doing Survival in Sandy Shores one time, too.

The issue there is that seemingly nobody wants to do anything other than Heists/Setups anymore.

e- I also recently noticed that there's no stun gun in the game. I miss tazing random people on the street or pretending to be tough with AI who come at me only to get momentarily electrified. :(

I'm disappointed that there isn't a destruction derby game mode. Something like the destruction derby in Vice City, except multiplayer.

Could perhaps set something up in LMS,. Does LMS let you set individual spawn points, or does it just set a spawn zone and you spawn within a few meters of its center?

So since Prison Break is double XP, what is the best range for demolitions to stay back at to help with the escape? Whenever I play, I usually try to shoot down jets because I always get nervous about flying too close to the prison.

Are there any videos of it?

Over on the Xbox One there's been a couple of Last Team Standing jobs entitled things like "bumper cars" that are on some of the western highway super high bridges, and have ramps into the play area from the two team sides, and then ramps lining the bridge sides to make it easy to knock someone off the edge.

Depending on which cars are included, you'll either die right away on hitting the water or explosives in the water below, or you can survive, but you got like 60 seconds to grab something off the shorelines and get back up top before you're timed out of that round.

You could probably also build something similar using a few of the flatter roofed skyscrapers and some containers/buildings to hang off the sides to stage cars on.

In all fairness, if Top Gear has taught me anything it's that half the time when a new supercar comes out, they spent roughly a dollar on the interior.

Every time I've tried PB as demolitions, it's been more a case of "for fucks sake pilot, stop flying several miles away from me so I can shoot down the people firing loving missiles at you", to this day I have only ever completed PB as the inmate.

Ill be on later tonight probably 6:30 or 7 pst and hope to run or play some prison breaks. They are apparently 37.5k per setup on hard and double the normal for finale.

The problem with playlists is that no one takes the bull by the penis and organizes it.

I am down for either of these but preferably the prison break. Keep in mind that at some point they added a cooldown to heists, not sure how long you're locked out but you can't do the same one back-to-back.

Just tell your pilot to loop around and fly right behind the enemy Lazer. E-Z mode and it means Demo can then hover right along the ring road that runs outside the prison and rain missiles on the cops inside.

Today's exploits included climbing to the top of Chiliad in the game's best off road vehicle:



And having fun in a boat NEAR the ocean, because driving a jetski out to the point that vehicles cut out and having it sink below the pitiless waves with you still sat on it made a whole lot of real life fears burst out all at once, and I've never been able to go into the ocean in GTA V without it scaring the living daylights out of me since.



I also tried to make a second character, but had to stop after the station erupted with explosions and prevented me from ever seeing the character's face, for some reason.

This. Getting behind the jets as the pilot is a piece of cake, so let the pilot deal with the jets while you blitz the prison then take out the police (helicopters in particular). Don't get too close to the prison though, or you're in danger of being shot down.

I stumbled across this randomly when attempting PB - only problem I found was a couple of times the jet heads off randomly out over the city way away from the airfield that the heli is stationed on, and then you've got to dodge its missile when heading back to where your team mate in the heli is, this confused and enraged my team of randoms to no end :derp:
