I've finally gotten a good recording of a peculiar "pulling effect" of sticky-bomb mechanics I've been trying to explain for a while. On a vehicle that can survive a sticky explosion, the vehicle is actually pulled in the direction of the explosion, not away from it.

I'd never even noticed this until the CEO update, specifically the Cargo Vehicles. Most of the time a single sticky bomb will destroy most civilian vehicles, but the ones used for special cargo are much tougher than the regular counterparts; I'd estimate about a 400% increase in durability. This allows the Camper, VW van and other normally very weak vehicles to survive up to 4 sticky bombs before they explode. However they haven't altered the weight of the vehicles at all and you can really see the pulling effect from the second bomb in this video.

This is pretty much a textbook ground based crate kill too. I missed with the first sticky, hitting the rear instead of the side, but the second one is perfect, pulls the rear of the camper 90 degrees toward the side of the explosion. The next bomb goes high on the side to knock the vehicle on its side, then destroy it with bombs to the undercarriage. Unfortunately traffic that had been panicked by the explosions knocked the camper down the road spoiling a sweet smoldering corpse selfie.

Earlier I noticed a pubbie asking for money so I put a bounty on him, and then claimed the bounty. Then he spawned a tank to kill me, so I sent a mugger who stole the tank from him. Am I doing this right?

Lombank is the best, and anyone who chooses Maze Bank West has played themselves. The roof is nice and flat, with only a few steps up to the helipad, as opposed to the disgusting labyrinthine layout that West has. There's enough empty roof space on Lombank to land 2-3 helicopters or even a plane. Plus, the view is amazing.

I'm glad I moved operations to Lombank, it's good. My Buzzard doesn't respawn on the roof as faithfully as it did at Maze Bank for some reason, but if I stand on the ledge and summon it, it will spawn on the helipad about half of the time

Is the physics glitch with the tank barrel and the destructible roof reliable? Can you launch a player or vehicle in a predetermined direction of is it just kinda wherever?

No real rhyme or reason to its reaction, though I would suspect both the vehicle being launched and it's initial position probably play a part. Haven't tested that.

My video game life is far too deprived of good times like this and I need to fix that soon.

Still, playing that race last night being stuck on the lawn mower was the most hilarious form of torture imaginable.

TBH, I'm really just chasing the dream of getting a tank on top of a building and firing down on the huddled masses. Or getting a tank on a yacht.

edit - something just occurred to me. When the CEO content was first released, one of my small warehouses was raided by NPCs and I lost like 3 crates before I got there. I stopped running crates b/c I was effected by the bug where I got no money for the sell missions. Ever since that bug was fixed I've not experienced or even heard about a warehouse raid, and I've put an embarrassing amount of hours into this FEDEX simulator.

Mine too, but I haven't had any since the stunt update

Edit: it could be the way that I'm doing it though, I'm either running a crate or doing Headhunter or something pretty much the whole time

E2: I have a pocket watch and some loving egg or something in one warehouse, I really hope that doesn't get raided :ohdear:

I'm on a Gargoyle kick lately. I'll still use the hydra for sell missions and if I'm outnumbered badly, but the editor really isn't designed for the speed of the jet and you have to put like 40 markers in even a short clip to keep the camera up with the action.

The gargoyle is hands down my favorite vehicle in this game. Its fast, maneuverable and brakes well. It also hops right over anything you can clear with the front tire including oncoming traffic and the freeway dividers. Plus, I feel cool when I cruise around on it and I look cool in my Crate-Hate clips. Also double barrel shotgun blasts to the face.
