Lasagna Miracle
Hahahahaha. That was amazing. Every moment of my lovely race performances were made up through my Gandalf'ing the tunnel on Horse Factory.

It's a loving challenge in itself to stay on top of those containers with the constant ramping of trucks trying to murder me. And when you run out of sticky's, it gets even tougher. But I persevered!

E: Red, I assume by "lasagna miracle," you meant Lapsus Memoriae. In which case, I'm free any time baby.

I don't think they spawn on their own in current gen. Find someone that already has one to make one spawn.

Pretty much no one uses tanks anymore because they've been nerfed into the ground.

Dudes waiting with a tank at the central Los Santos mod shop back when hacking was in full flower I will grant, they were on every session I will grant, but definitely not being shot at within blocks of leaving apartments,

During the infinite cash + buy anything from the website at any level days on PS3 there was usually a small battalion of tanks making a circuit around the most populated downtown residential district and camping garage doors. I just wanted to ride my bmx bike at the skate park god drat it

Maybe this is a stupid question but how do people know where a special crate is going to drop? I usually grab a jet or chopper to get ready for it and by the time the icon appears on the map, somebody's already right next to it.

They're probably just driving directly there in a fast car instead of calling Pegasus, navigating the menus, driving to the pick-up, and then flying to the drop point.

That's why you gotta get in a Buzzard or something when you see the indicator at like 3 hours to go, just to get that thing ready.

What I meant was I'm flying in the jet or helicopter before it drops, I start all this at the "10 minute" notification. Some people are just where the icon is going to hit before it hits. I figured you could see the plane flying over or something, but I never have.

Oh, well the crate spawning anywhere on the map means some people are just gonna turn up luckier than others. This one time I was just floating in the air waiting for the crate to spawn and it literally spawned in my exact location, so all I had to do was land and take it long before anyone got there. Sometimes you just can't win because some dude was chilling out in Blaine County and it happened to land there.

There's an indicator way before the crate icon appears, it's a green circle on the map and it's marked by a huge plume of red smoke.

Imagine how much more sad and lonely we would be if not for the hard work of lowtax. Here's $12.95 to his aid.
There will also be 3-5 enemy AI around with body armour and assault rifles, disengage passive mode ahead of arrival. What I like to do is to be airborne high above the notHollywood sign in a helicopter, keeping watch for other helicopters or planes and taking out competitors if I need to.

They are predetermined locations.

There are a few locations missing from this map (most notably, the Grapeseed airport, one on the eastern shore line, and south side of the Maze Building) but this covers most of them. I've seen a better map, I'll try to find it.

Can you get any types of crate drops in Closed Friend/Crew/Solo servers? I know for a fact I got a "Special crate drop in 3 hours" notification exactly 1 time while I was sitting in my Closed Friend server, but nothing ever came about it. I have never gotten another one since.

Yes you can get all kinds of crate drops in closed friend/crew sessions. Don't think you can get them in full solo.

The thing is that if you hop between normal servers frequently, you have a high chance of stumbling in when whatever timer ticks over to start a new crate process, while sitting in a closed session you might wait hours before it triggers.

Added it to my bookmarked jobs. I'll give it a run.

I'm also going to fix that one race that the checkpoint "bled" through to the lower floor. Needs better barriers. Also that one jump into the construction yard obviously needs guide walls as well (I think I meant to put them there, just forgot to do so.)

Stupid question regarding map creation. I'd love to re-create Bro Nerds Boom and Zoom. Are the weapons I make available in the map level dependent ? I don't want to make a "ATV deathmatch with sticky bombs and shotguns in the beach" if I cant use them.

Nope. Nothing is locked in the creator.

Sometimes, higher level weapons will be replaced by plain pistols if none of the people playing a map are high enough level for them.

Re: tank chat, what is someone suppose to do with one, other than kill cops? Surely not players or anything constructive in that sense.

Has anyone trolled a lobby having a bunch of tanks but all being in passive mode, doing nothing but just racing or something obtuse as stunt jumping?

Just went into 2 different public lobbies

1) guy yelling at his baby SHUT UP when it started crying then going casually back into the convo he was having

2) some guy and his son describing anything as gay and everyone as human being. By the voice the kid was around 12. Not that I'm surprised about age, I just don't see a lot of father-son bonding in this game so this was nice :unsmith:

I had public chat turned off, it really only came on sometimes when I was killed, someone had like 2-3 seconds to gloat while I respawned. I turned on chat for everyone last night and figured it's a great way to target people to kill. I don't like killing people randomly in general, but when everyone is being called a human being by some level 40 guy with a sniper rifle, it makes a great target for my fighter jet. Bonus points if you stay silent while he screams in frustration.

I suck at phrasing questions properly. If I make a map and use weapons above my current player level, will I be able to use said weapons if I play the map ?

Sometimes you will, sometimes you won't. You seem to end up with the high level weapons reduced to pistols only most often when you're a low level player and you're playing with exclusvely other low level players, but when you have at least one level 120 dude in with you then they'll all be available.

Forced weapon choices will also always work, so even if you're level 2 you can still use a minigun if the deathmatch is set with that as a the forced weapon (though you may not be able to pick up any more ammo).
