Interesting. The orange ball that sits on top of the juice stands near Grapeseed and the observatory no longer despawns when you roll or drive it away. It only despawned after I died.




I was able to take this one into Los Santos for a round of bowling on the freeway. I guess this means that we can also have car soccer matches now.

I had a strange bug earlier today when I was exiting my garage. I left in my Sandking at the same time as another player who was on foot did. My Sandking ran him over, but instead of stopping at the end of the driveway and returning control to me, it continued on to the street. The truck then turned back towards the building and scraped the wall on the side of the driveway. I tried to exit the truck or to drive away, but I couldn't as I was still in the animation. I had to wait and watch for 5 minutes as my truck slowly pulled forward, cranked the wheel, reverse, and crank back over and over again until it finally reached the street.

I've had another one that I've been able to reproduce fairly consistently. On the Potshot mission, I've been stopping the van by blocking the brige and yanking the van driver to the ground. If you shoot him with a high powered weapon, the game will attempt to push him though the bridge, but then fail, causing him to spasm.

Probably going down a hill or something, try topping your car out on a highway and it doesn't work.

By the time you're going 140 down a hill you're going so remarkably fast that you are almost guaranteed to crash the car before you decide to slow down.

It might be a speed record you set on the 360/PS3 that was carried over when you did the character transfer. The Rockstar Social Club lists my top speed on the XBOne as 18,894.69 MPH in the fire truck, but I set that when I was doing the gate launches on the 360.

What outfit do you need to wear to be able to get the free festive hats? They're all greyed out saying my outfit isn't compatible. I'm dressed as a bloody elf. That should be enough.

Does your character have a ponytail? I couldn't select many of the hats until I changed my hairstyle.

I had a strange bug with the crate drops today. I picked up a crate in one lobby, and switched characters. In the new lobby, I got the 'A crate has dropped' notification as soon as I left my garage. I thought that I would be too late, but I drove over to the crate anyways. I was the first to arrive at the crate, even though I had to drive from Del Perro Heights to the beach north of Fort Zancudo. It was as if no-one else had received the crate message.

The crate wasn't there, even though it showed on the mini-map. I drove over the spot where it should have been, and then the package fell from the sky without a crate. I picked it up, and it had all the items that should be in a special crate.

Just a quick heads up for those still looking for them, the current special crate has the Patriot beer hat. I managed to snag one, switched sessions, and immediately had another crate drop and snagged that one as well.

There is a glitch within the LSC menus that adds the 'Sad Trombone' horn to your cars for free, and it works on the modded Dubstas. If you take the car there, go to the Suspension settings and make sure it has the stock suspension. Then, go to the horn menu and you should see a checkmark beside the trombone horn. Select it, and it will equip it for free. You can now sell the car for an additional 10k. On the Dubsta, this made the sale price $34,000.

Can I get the hearse as my personal vehicle and if so how do I reliably spawn it?

The hearse will spawn if another player who has one takes it over to the graveyard or church parking lots. You can then take the spawned car over to your garage or LSC.

Some rumblings on the GTA Forums: Looks like they did update the tuneables file and nerfed the Sad Trombone price. Instead of 23k the horn is now 12k and Dubstas are selling for about 7k less at 29k. Still free to add apparently, but I think it was changed to stop the Rebel / Rat Loader selling in the short term. Being R* the price will probably return to normal once a patch is released.



I just sold a modded yellow Sandking for 23k instead of the usual 30k it brings in. The horn was still free as you noted.

Obviously what this game needs is a proper vehicle registration system. All new cars will require a trip to both the DMV office conveniently located in Paleto Bay and to the Mors Mutual insurance office located by the Los Santos International airport. Failure to do so will mean an immediate 3-star wanted level and a hefty fine.

The $250k crew challenges appear to be back. I just did one on XB1 that was a fake Criminal Records that forced you to reverse twice at the finish line and that was locked to first person SUVs.

edit: I found another fake Criminal Records 250k race. This one is a single lap super car race that has cargo containers blocking the road and an deceptively low time. My guess is that they are creating a challenge with a custom race, setting a time, and then going back and editing the race to put in a barrier.

Just confirmed the method I used to get the cop uniform in free roam works on the trash collector outfit as well:
  1. Play the setup mission with the uniform you want, be on that team
  2. Complete the setup mission, get put in free roam
  3. Start any Capture mission (once it starts, you're put back into the uniform)
  4. Change glasses once any time during the capture
  5. When the capture ends, select Free Roam
  6. Be in free roam with uniform

It hasn't been working for me. Every time I've tried it today I keep going back to my street clothes when I join the capture mission.
