My friends are trying to do Pacific Standard and were curious how to correctly do the Karuma trick. I've done it legitimately before, but I'm hoping that I can get my friends a relatively painless payout.

So someone correct me if I'm missing something, but from what I've read:

  • You need to own the apartment near where the bikes are stowed. May not actually be required but much more useful than trying to get to any other apartment.
  • The apartment owner needs to own an armored Karuma and have it assigned to that garage.
  • You need the money bag carrier to step out of the bank long enough to trigger the waypoints for the escape route, and then have them duck back in.
  • The others (the car owner is enough, really) need to go to where the bikes are. Destroying the bikes is optional? I've seen videos of it with and without destroying the bikes. Also some sources say the car owner must be in the Crowd Control role--the Hacker would not be able to make it work.
  • The car owner needs to climb up to where their apartment front door is located and go in. They can buzz in their friends in if they like but it's not necessary? I've read that there can be some inconsistency about getting into your apartment at this step?
  • Take the Karuma back to the bank and collect Mr. or Mrs. Moneybags for the trip up the mountain.

Do I have any misapprehensions in this list?

I could've sworn the Kuruma needed to be in a specific car slot too.

Unless I unknowingly did this by coincidence this is not the case... in that rare chance, my kuruma is in what I would call slot #2.

Not sure if coupe mentioned it but afaik the best place for the money bag man is in the back seat, holding the button to crouch to minimize any possibly of a stray bullet.

I'm not sure exactly how it happens, but it appears to be a glitch & not so much "they're taking my outfits away!" No idea how exactly the glitch triggers though. I think it has something to do with outfit select screens on jobs that have them.. I haven't purposely tried to trigger it, but every time I've lost my outfits has been in the middle of a heist & always when I'm holding the push to talk button in between the heist lobby & the outfit select screen.

It does not. And titties method is the super boring version. Leave the bagman at the bank by himself so the other three dudes at least get to shoot some cops.

yeah if ur kuruma driver is any good you'll have plenty of time to click cops AND drive the kuruma but standing in the bank is boring as gently caress so we just leave that to moneybags

i didn't mention titties method cause it seemed like marshmallow had watched vids about the normal kuruma trick. I didn't want to confuse him so he could look like a pro in front of his friends :)

the kuruma doesn't need to be in any particular slot in the garage but the best seat for moneybags is gonna be the rear passenger seat imo

which is good in a game like gta where the goal is to see who can explode the prettiest so you can hit that share button

or whatever button PC players have, maybe it's also a share button!

Finally got myself a PS4 copy in the black friday sale, transferred my old characters over, still have my dead hooker money and am still in LLJK.

Unfortunately I have absolutely no idea what to do next. Last time I played was pre-heists, like 4th of July update back on 360. Any advice for how to try and get back into things?

add the ps4 regulars to your rockstar friends and check this thread for get togethers. they seem to have a fun time.

in the meantime you should probably check out those heists (you can join someone elses as muscle or buy an apartment with a heist planning room and launch your own) they're pretty well made. the order is; fleeca, prison break, series a, humane labs then pacific standard.

The Buzzard is on sale for half price.

If you don't own a Buzzard, you should buy it now.

If you don't have enough money or are too low level, you have about a week to grind Pacific Standard every chance you can (with goons) or do missions to level up to rank 43.

Get it. It's worth it.

If you prefer to get your GTA opinions from reddit instead of goons, check out https://www.reddit.com/r/gtaonline/comments/5flgf8/the_buzzard_is_on_sale_dont_ask_just_buy_it/ for exactly what I posted only longer.

Well, now you can take out a loan for shark cards to buy expensive motorcycle club properties, bikes and outfits. Free roam is where it's at, these days.

Besides that and the usual new vehicle every two weeks there are a handful of new adversarial and deathmatch modes.

If you've only got a couple hours a day, that's enough to do a Pacific Standard which will net you about $300,000 - $350,000. There's usually goons ready to heist in the evenings so pop in to Discord. Alternately, you can just be a helper like me and experience the missions/sells without the headache of watching some idiot crash land your sell plane and losing half of a warehouse!

Every now and then. Not as an organized thing or anything, a few pop in from time to time to chat. It's open if you guys want to have a place to organize though I imagine PSN offers something.

I seriously hope this isn't just some ramp car that spawns on specific missions, but something I can buy and drive around the gameworld at any time, and also modify in the garage.

edit: vv I'm sure it runs fine for you all, but my PC was rock solid for years until right around when I installed Discord. Despite telling it to not run at startup, it asks my permission to run every time I restart, presumably to check its settings to see if the user requested it to run at startup or not because if I tell it okay it can run, it doesn't actually start up. Most annoying is that I've had several Explorer crashes since it's installation, where previously I'd only have to restart for windows 7 updates once a month. Sorry I'm not in love with this buggy web 2.0 interface with its hilarious startup memes :P
