They were recently nerfed to be less available (5 minute cooldown before you can call another one) and were also made 10mph slower... but yeah, they're still stupid.

Picked up a Tezeract the other day and I don't know if it's just my driving style or what, but it's floaty as hell. Literally, completely overshot the finish line target area on the Chiliad downhill race. Weird but useful combination of slippery and sticky going around corners, like some sort of deliberately and precisely-controlled oversteer. Which could even be an intentional feature given that the thing is 100% electric.

Also I got the Ocelot Ardent from the casino wheel, but the livery can only be changed/removed wtih the MOC or Avenger and :lol: to that.

The X-80 Proto is a lot like that where it's strangely floaty when it should be hugging the pavement; I strongly dislike that handling characteristic and avoid any vehicle in game that behaves like it. Also lmao about your ardent; I guess it's just gonna be covered in mistletoe vomit forever then huh?

Free Duke O'Death for christmas? Interesting choice from Daddy Rockstar this year. Last christmas was the Vapid Clique iirc so if it's the armored Dukes this year that's quite a change.

The fun thing is you can get as many free ones as you want, so you can forget you already have one and get like 6 before you remember, and you never remember which one is the upgraded one.

I think the most expensive car I've had in the game is still the beach van I fully upgraded for some reason

Oh absolutely, best car I ever had for races until I got the Massacro (Racecar). I need to get on this new heist so I can get a Pariah and have a go-to Sports class without livery.

Been selling off redundant cars and oof, really wish I hadn't bothered to upgrade the casino Komoda. That was a waste.

But no one's ever active on Goon Theft Auto, seems

Welp, made 88k out of a potential 190 something off the first attempt at the casino heist I managed to drop into. It was the big con approach, and it's a pretty even mix of "this seems doable" and "gently caress you too Rockstar." At least the guards you encounter don't take a thousand bullets each like they seem to in the other heists.

I dropped in on one of those too. We made it all the way back to the stairs when a guard starts shooting at us. I kill him, get informed I have alerted the guards then 6 came out of nowhere in a kill circle around me and that was that.

In my own heist I'm going aggro mainly because I think its going to play that way anyways so I might as well have the good stuff for it.

Big con is by far the easiest, you can make it in and out of the casino undetected by making one stealth takedown. Going loud is the second easiest imo, with silent and stealthy being the most annoying fiddly failfest because of gta's floaty controls and garbage stealth system

I haven’t had time yet, but I’m wondering if stealthy becomes the way to go on hard mode with a decent team for maximizing payout.

I name this haircut "The Sad Rhino".
I watched a YouTube vid with 4 people doing the sneaky approach... it looked fun as hell, but you could tell they played together a lot and had voice chat. Without it I have no idea how you’d do it.
Knowing who’s gonna go for what in the vault looked like a real process, then staying in stealth mode the whole time outside the vault going in and getting away would be tough.

But I’ll bet it feels great when you pull it off perfectly... like for real. I might try some tomorrow. I have it ready to go and will jump in the discord if I decide to

Did 2 man gold stealthy the other day and got out with just over 2m of 2.5m total. But it was our first time and we had like ten restarts figuring it out. Soon as we got in the vault I hit the keypads while they got the two carts in the main room. Got all but two carts and probably could have gotten part of the last two if we really pushed it, but we left with about 30sec to go.

Still think big con with gruppe sechs entry is by far easier

Inspector Hound
Jul 14, 2003

I haven't tried the others, but the con seemed like it could be done. We got hosed when someone got seen right before the vault, we got lost on the way to the roof and went downstairs instead (or maybe that was just the plan the whole time, I only dropped in for the finale) and we got shot up bad getting to the getaway cars. Then I got stuck in the oil field trying to hide from the cops and missed the car switch, whose purpose I cannot begin to divine even now.

I can't remember my PSN right now, I'll post it later and be down for heists probably Thursday/Friday, maybe tomorrow, I'd like to run this again or do the Bogdan thing everyone keeps hinting at

If you go loud at any point, escaping the casino and losing the wanted level is as easy as driving into the sewers. There's an entrance just south of the casino that some of the setup missions take you to.

The cops don't like going in there, they seem to only come in on foot so it's easy to break line of sight and just wait it out.

Spotted before the vault? Is that some bugstars poo poo, because with the security outfit you shouldn't be at risk until after you climb the stairs on your way out, unless you deliberately attack someone.

Yeah. Sewers and proxy mine the top of a ramp. Just below the top of it so they can't see it coming. There's some pipes on the ceiling you could also hide proxies behind. I'm not sure it's perfect because I bet you can speed through them but it's always worked for me.

I've found the best way of dealing with Oppressor mk2s is with Oppressor mk2s. Chaff counter measure. As long as you have map awareness you'll beat anything that doesn't have chaff. Flares are pretty useless unless you missed someone targeting you with a homing rocket launcher. Again, map awareness would solve that.

The 5 minute cooldown does not count for using your mechanic for calling an Oppressor. If someone is really determined they're going to be a pain in the rear end regardless.
