So I just started online for ps3. Question. What happens to the money you don't bank if you quit? Is it auto banked or lost? And when you die how much cash gets dropped. Seriously I'm new at this tell me everything I need to know about money in online

What do you suggest a beginner do in terms of saving up money? I didn't even realize I was losing so much cash dying though why would it be different from sp I suppose. So should spend it immediately on property or what

Property quesiton, I had a bounty on me and stayed at my 2 car garage (the one by the LS Customs on the east side). Had a couple guys trying to mark me and one rang my bell. That was kinda dramatic but they couldn't get in since I wasn't that stupid. I was curious though what happens when you do? Does it let them in as if it were an enterable property they spawn into or does it open the door like a regular door? What happens when they do? Rockstar didn't let you pull weapons on your own property for some genius reason.

Some random NPC put a 9000 dollar bounty on me for stealing her car. I've found that when evading your head being collected, grabbing a boat and standing out at sea with it works really well. So I call up Lester and tell him to point out a boat to me.

When I get to the dot he marked, I find it's a goddamn submarine. :monocle:

I dived down to the depths of the ocean offshore and I now have people waiting for me on the beach/swimming down to get me. I highly recommend doing this. All I'm missing is some popcorn.

I figure it's also an excellent way to go ahead and grab the "Evade your bounty for a day" achievement.

Edit: HMS Goonsub in action



Just the other day I was chasing a bounty who did just that. I see him in the middle of the Blaine County lake and I'm thinking he's in a chopper or something, so I grab myself a chopper at the airfield, which turns out to be a chinook. I tried to lift a car so i can drop it on him in case he's swimming but don't remember which button it was so I go without it. When I reach him I realize he's in fact underwater in what I think is a car. I'm sitting there in my chopper thinking "What the gently caress, you can get infinite breathing?!?! This is bullshit! Nothing is infinite in this game so why should breathing be?!?!"

And then I realize he's in a loving submarine. So I land my chopper and affix some sticky bombs to it hoping to basically depth charge the gently caress out of him using a giant loving seagull explosive. I crash my chopper appr where he is but he starts sailing off and when I blow up the chopper no dice. Would have been cool if it worked. So now I'm loving stranded in the lake with nothing but a knife, but now he decides to surface which is great because I can board his sub and try to sticky bomb it, but WAIT he's getting out and he's gonna machine gun me! I try diving and avoiding and this goes on back and forth a bit and eventually he kills me. His bounty ends but I'm still pissed off and I want to kill him on principle. So im shadowing the lake waiting for him to gently caress up, I even try looking for boats on the docks and NOTHING. Eventually I see that for some reason someone else is in the sub and he's swimming so I whip out the handy Barrett sniper rifle I got from survival missions and waste the fucker. gently caress the bounty, gently caress the money, vengeance is mine! Later I whip out my minigun and blow up the guy in the sub too because gently caress that sub.

As much bitching as I do about leveling and unlocks, it does make you get creative when you have a bounty who's a slippery fucker. Honestly sticky bombs for me are a slice of heaven. I can't tell you how many times I've used those things to kill bounties or people just following me because they are pissed or just want "pubbie" to stomp

I think your characters share a bank account, someone mentioned earlier a scam where you create a 2nd character who holds all the cash as kind of an offshore account to save money on free roam deaths.

Is this still doable or did they fix it? If your "offshore" account has the money banked is it "saved"?

Is there a guide that tells you what missions pay out? I can no longer count with my fingers how many Goddamn missions I've had to chase a loving car cross country, die or lose the car for some lovely reason and then do it again all for poo poo pay. There needs to be trigger warnings for cross country loving chases. It's no wonder single player missions cut you off when a car gets away, it's a mercy kill really

Apartments are safe hiding spots in case you have a bounty. The high end ones also have windows, so you can watch the chaos below if stuff is going on near you. Also, you can use the TVs to watch what other players are up to in multi if you're busy doing real-life stuff and need some entertainment.

As someone who hid out in a garage when I had a bounty on me, a part of me wishes there was a way to break in still. At least when someone is in a sub you can try and get creative with choppers and stuff, I don't know. Burglary should be a thing. Maybe cuz I'm not a mansion owning Republican yet

I wrote a bunch of stuff about the car sale glitch and decided to delete it all just to say this:

GTA5:O is about 100x more fun when you don't worry about money anymore. If there was a guarantee that you'd get away with it, I'd suggest everyone use the car sale glitch. I think the fun I've gotten out of it is worth any character wipe or dunce cap I'll ever receive. The fact I no longer need to grind boring missions and turn this game into a job just highlights how broken the current system is anyway. I'll be double-dipping for the PC version, so it's not like my console character's gonna matter after that.

Yesterday was honestly the first time in forever that I laughed playing Online. It kinda struck me because of how often I find myself just screaming at the drat screen. I think it had to do with something happening to someone I wanted to hurt in the game. That tends to be a thing. I think it was sticky bomb related because I swear HALF the entertainment I've achieved in this game is sticky bomb related

I think the biggest problem for me is the tendency to keep up with the joneses, you get killed by a guy in a chopper and wish you had a chopper, nevermind the fact that I killed the guy just as easily as vice versa. You come at someone with an RPG and you miss, they're gonna put you down with a pistol easy. I'm still loathe to have a "just have fun" attitude as raging at people seems to be the main driving force right now, I should probably join a goon crew and think outside the box
