god, if any modders read this thread, please PM me if you're willing to remove my weapons. a hacker had the galaxy brain idea to give me every weapon when i was in an otherwise empty lobby even though im above level 120, meaning i have every weapon i already need but nlw have weapons i never bought and don't need. they don't even show up in the menu to buy ammo and I can't put them in my gun locker. i couldn't even ise the weapons in that lobby since he put a giant ramp on me which made me unable to accurately aim weapons sonce i couldn't see. I've tried doing the workaround rockstar suggested of draining all my ammo for those types then doing a job, but it was better at draining 45k from me than helping me.

of all the ways to get owned in gtao this feels like such a stupid one and then rockstar support just made it worse somehow. im incredulous at how dumb all of this has been, especially since rockstar support took 5 days to get back to me only to end up owning me even harder. this is so abstractly stupid

Close the game and come back, they should be gone. If, for whatever reason they're not, just use F9 (I think!) to drop your currently held weapon. It will only permanently remove weapons you personally haven't bought before.

As a seperate thing, I know using a Gun Locker works if you ever have all of your weapons removed from you. Just "Hide all, show all" them.

You all aren't up at 10PM PST in enough numbers on the random nights I'm free to do it. but thank you for trying.

also I don't want to be an rear end to others in my frequent frustrations if somehow there was. I've stuck to splatoon for a long long time because the lack of communication in that game was a feature not a bug to me.

one of the issues with that is that rockstar has too high of an IQ to let you drop seasonal weapons even if they're not seasonal anymore. would be nice to drop the laser minigun and laser combat mg. i mentioned on this page that i contacted rockstar 5 days ago about this and i think if i played gtao for a week straight without even closing the game once i would end up being too self-loathing to look at the weapons in my inventory I don't want or need as anything other than punishment and discouragement from ever wanting to play. ive absolutely restarted the game since this happened

The drift yosemite is a definite let-down, that's for sure. A pubbie let me drive his(fully modded) and I had nothing but disappointing words for my experience. It's got style for days but no substance. Anyone who wants that sort of hoonigan experience will be much better served by the drift tampa, which was the first and still the better of the pair.

Diamonds are now legit in the casino heist world. Supposedly the first time you scope vault contents this week you'll get diamonds, and then after that they settle to a "normal" 8% chance in the regular rotation. Potential take is a few bucks more than gold/art but mechanically they work like the cash carts(fast grab but more on each cart)

Extremely same

If you need a conversation piece next to your drift tampa, its got a VERY similar same livery on it

IMO the looks didn't do it for me. Don't like the wheel arches, feel like they clash with the body style. All but one of the hoods had exposed turbos and cutouts. Couple of the liverys are some good lookin rust if that's your thing

Performance? Yikes. Maybe it was jumping it straightaway to full engine, tranny and turbo, but there was nooooooooo get up and go to it. Slides for days. Going up the hills back to my apartment was a laughable experience, I had to go back and get a good run up. It's basically the same experience as driving on snow in the game

I will say though Cage there is one addendum that must be made to my post about the V-STR. There is in fact something about it that I dislike. Almost an intense dislike you could say.

That thing in question is the luminosity of its headlights while driving at night. The headlights feel intentionally weak, which lessens my enjoyment of driving the V-STR at night. It is kind of infuriating that Rockstar makes such a delightful car and then handicaps it by giving it weak-rear end headlights. Everything else about the vehicle I'm enamored with but those headlights disappoint me every time.

Does buying "white" lights at the arena war modshop help at all?

I actually find turning off car lights helpful sometimes when its dark enough. Something distracting about how they never light things up far enough ahead.

I like anything with more than 2 headlights on the front. The pigalle has my favorite version. (6!!! Plus theyre tinted yellow)

I think on most cars the arena white vs LSC xenon lights are pretty close to light output, but different cars have different profiles

Best reason to use the arena white lights is that this is what will match undercar white neons

Ha! Same... I’ve been playing around with different color headlights from the arena workshop on a ton of my cars.

I’ll try to grab a picture, but I’m kind of proud of how my VTR looks:
Matte silver with salmon pink pearlescent
Pink headlights

It floats at high speed like it should, accelerates fast if you can modulate the accelerator without breaking the wheels loose, and it brakes well. I like the VTR

I bought the Honda and hate it. I can’t stand front wheel drive cars in this game for the most part. Pigalle notwithstanding of course :)

I like to mix & match the colored headlights with neons to match the livery. Drift Tampa is a good example, how the lion and green/yellow paint is slanted. I put the yellow for neons on the side, and green for headlights, to keep the flow

Love the variety of headlights in the game and options for light bars and accesory lights, wish it was more consistent on them actually working. Recent example is the Zaba stupid box thing. You've got normal headlights in the grille area, these you can color. There's a light bar across the top, forget if this actually works or not. Then there's also an option for white aux lights on the fenders. Sometimes these use the same color as the headlights, sometimes these just use white. On the Zhaba, doesn't matter they don't work. Oh yeah you could also do orange aux lights on the fenders, but they don't work either. And you know of course you can't demo anything without buying it, especially the $50,000 colored headlights. :rockstar:

Even in this era of endless vehicular choices in Los Santos, the Pigalle is still one of the greats. By style and performance it is still a worthwhile driving experience and everyone should get the chance to enjoy it at least once. You won't be disappointed.

Pigalle good car aye.

I never bought one but I've nicked a couple and they're real fun to drive.

It does have weird headlighs though, if you put them on full beam it somehow illuminates less of the road, like you turned off the headlights and turned on a roof rack or something.

The colored headlights don't always look right because the colored light is like on top of the original light, and the original white/blue light sometimes peek out on the edges and in the reflections.

Red headlights look rad on the armored Kuruma and Insurgent though

Three reasons why the Neo feels bugged:

1. Bouncy Advanced Handling Flag mean this thing handles horribly over tiny bumps. I've done front-flips hitting curbs at speed.
2. Lazy, low-poly liveries with jagged textures. SERIOUSLY, LOOK AT THESE




3. Lastly, perhaps the laziest thing - like nobody at Rockstar even bothered driving this thing once at night before it was released. The default low-beam isn't centered on the road, aiming almost completely downwards. The beams aren't parallel or mirrored:


Just gross overall. Available for purchase from Legendary Motorsport for $1,875,000.

Doesn't the Omnis have insanely low off-road traction loss, as in close-to-zero? It feels like it loses absolutely no traction when you take it off-road.
