Like I said, doing missions without quitting out early gives you "good sport" credit, and once you've done that enough it's nearly impossible to drain all that out to go to bad sport.

I get the 2k good sport reward constantly, despite having no qualms about killing others and blowing up their cars.

The best ones is when I get a $2k bonus right after blowing up a couple of other players cars.

LUBE UP YOUR BUTT posted:

can someone explain the persistence of weapons for me?

I bought the g36 and sometimes after missions it changes into a galil (i cant remember what the in game names are)

also i had a stock pistol but now apparently I have a combat pistol when I never bought any?

also for some reason I have mini uzi or a shotgun sometimes, neither of which I bought?

do guns you pick up stay with you for a certain amount of time regardless of dying?

As titties said, weapons you pick up sticks for that session. Sometimes you get to keep them over several sessions, but restarting the game should wipe them. But it can't quite make up it's mind about it. I got to keep some weapons I picked up during a survival until I quit the game yesterday, just couldn't buy more ammo for the RPG or minigun. I also have all the melee weapons after a hacker gave me all guns, even the ones you pay for. The only melee weapon I have paid for is the hatchet, the rest is from "who-knows".

One weapon I really wish would stick is the stun gun. There is a really really good reason that gun is not in GTA Online. You can stunlock anyone, it reloads faster then the stunned-on-the-ground animation. If you get into a session with a hacker (there usually is one even if they are not obvious), try asking for all weapons.

Rockstar, please make the "Cops turn a blind eye" last longer and no cooldown. Maybe let you choose for how long, with the cost scaling up? 5000 for 3 minutes, 25000 for 15 minutes, 100000 for an hour? And stop giving me stars when the cops are chasing someone else and bump into me.

What are some good tips for doing better in races? My record is abysmal.

Don't crash, racing lines and that jazz. In general, try not to be in the crowd of dumbwits that is going to crash everyone. Use normal brakes the last second, instead of handbrake. Either make sure custom vehicles is off, or trade races until you get all the performance upgrades, so you at least start out equal. Entity FX is still good, despite the newer more expensive cars.

Awfully nice flying weather tonight, wasn't it?

The "knock off 3-4 tires off a Kuruma, open a door and spin around" bug?

Did it yesterday with a friend, it's hilarious.

In short, use a tank and drive over the wheels on an armoured Kuruma until the wheels come off. Do not drive over the area people sit in, as that blows up the car. Keep trying, the wheels do come off.
Get minimum three of them off, then you can spin around in some hilarious circles, as if you were on ice. To launch yourself, keep one of the doors open, and start spinning, and you will be thrown around. Spin around means accelerate, brake and turn either way.

Forgot to mention, PC. Playing just normally right now.

I've hit rank 11 now. Seems a little better if I queue specifically for races or deathmatch or something. Otherwise not really. I guess sometimes I just get random blind invites cause I got some rank 45 story missions out of the blue and no one decided to kick me from those (they seem really straightforward anyway).

So what exactly do low level people do anyway? Just queue random stuff and just do whatever I guess? I also assume all the DLC weapons are worth picking up as I can get them whenever, right?

I don't take "this game sucks" rants seriously from people who have played a game for hundreds of hours and obviously enjoyed themselves. The main reason I quit is because literally every single person I met in the game was driving a stupid Armored Kuruma, and I loving haaaaate those stupid cars... does everyone still drive them? Would anyone like to be friends with me and play this game with the pledge of never using an Armored Kuruma unless forced to?

I never drive mine, and I only drive my Insurgent if I'm trying to ram peoples cars into weird shapes... If that helps.

I can't wait to play this Halloween update in 2 weeks.

Are they Steam or R*SC copies, or a combination of both?

If they're both Steam copies, just switch Steam accounts and hope for the best.
If they're R*SC copies, I don't know how that works, but I guess switch accounts when you run the launcher.
If they're a combination, you'll probably have to redownload the entire game :( The exe files for both versions have different authentication methods (the Steam one has to communicate with the Steam servers). (This is an assumption, I don't have access to the R*SC GTA5 files to compare hashes)
I have no idea if the PC version comes in any other formats.

All the multi gigabyte files are interchangeable between steam and rsc, including the updates folder. Saves you 58 GB or so. Start the download on either client, stop it, copy all files over 50MB, restart downloader and it should figure it out.

They should be identical, but there's no guarantee. Would need to compare hashes (which steam will do, if you copy the files over, then tell it to validate game files). But if it misses something, who knows if the game will accuse you of modding your files and ban you. It's rockstar...
But my point of having to redownload the game is that you'll have two 65gb install folders. Even 1 instance of 65gb being used is a lot for a game (30-40gb seems to be common).

I'm kind of curious... if you have a Steam copy of gta5, can you use the regular R*SC downloader to download and run the game, or will it require that you use Steam? If Rockstar does future updates on Steam maintenance days, it would be nice to avoid the Steam authentication handshake headache that occurred with the lowrider update.

I copied the .rpf files from my Steam install to my RSC install when I installed it. Checked that the files were there, downloaded the rest, and my RSC install was ready in 5 minutes (+ copying nearly 60 GB of files). Steam install is my main game, the RSC install was for my extra lend-out account, that I used hacks to max out stats and unlocks, cause friends need toys to play with when the borrow the account, and gently caress grinding that twice.

Funny enough, when Rockstar did the banwave in August, that account got hit (of course). They took all the money, but they didn't reset any stats or unlocks. Which was pretty nice of them actually.

Can hackers just full on crash your game now? I've had three separate occasions where I've pissed a hacker off, and then had a hard crash following being ejected from my vehicle.

Should I just download hacks and preemptively crash other hackers games in self defense? Or is there another way that the game can actually be enjoyable again?

They have always been able to crash you, mainly by spawning clones or something. And do not join them, you will either get banned yourself or become one of them. Play in invite only sessions and invite all the LLJK you can muster, stay in the mumble, avoid pubbie lobbies, add all the fun players to your friend list, take care of those precious few good guys.

A little over an hour if everyone has their poo poo together

You can do Pacific Standard in well under an hour if one of you use a mod menu. God mode, never wanted and teleport to mission objective/marker makes it very very very fast.

In unrelated news, seems like both my accounts got hit. Lender account got a month, giving it away to the dude that used it the most once the ban is over, no point getting it permabanned. Main account got a two weeker, fair enough. Had spent all the money anyway, just curious what is left of my garage. If they don't touch it, I have a couple of million in modded Moonbeams.

For other modders, lending account straight up spawned bags of money.

Main account spawned vehicles for the lobby, god mode during heist, never wanted, spawned moonbeams to replace in garage while in private session and gave all weapons to goons. Both were auto-banned, but not while in a session.

We're on PS4 so no mod menu for us. Also, I've posted about this before but I'll never really get why people do this anyway. The reason I like playing GTA is so I can drive around and shoot guns and blow poo poo up and whatnot. I had a friend with a modded PS3 that would do this for us, teleport us to and from objectives, make us invincible etc and it was loving mind-numbingly boring. If you have mod menus just drop yourself a bunch of money, buy the things you want, then actually use them. Why bother even loving around with the missions and heists if you don't have fun actually doing them? It blows my mind how many people get upset about the grindiness of the game, then do the most boring grindiest poo poo instead of actually playing.

The heist stuff was helping some goons with a quick heist. Straight up dropping money is the fastest way to get banned, which is why I did the moonbeam thing. Turns out they got that as well. I don't use mods/hacks during missions, as you said, that is boring. Never wanted make lobbies much better though, since I won't get the cops all over me for every little thing I do.
Spawning invincible tanks or jets for everyone in a lobby is very fun, turning the city into a warzone. And as long as everyone get one, I think it's all good. The goons on mumble at the time seemed to enjoy it...

Thanks for the advice so far, got to say I am probably already inclined to go for the car even though I misread and it's actually 375k as I'm satisfied with the helicopter and watercraft my current yacht (the middle one) has and the upgrade doesn't seem to add anything but a small change in layout to the ship itself although I did forget an option, becoming a VIP, I heard it can be turned off with a 12 hour wait to restart it, does it cost another million dollars to do? I'm guessing it's a decent money spinner if your team are competent.

Vip does not cost a million, you have to have a million to become one. Some abilities cost money to use, like spawning in some cars. It also only last four hours, not sure if cooldown happens if it runs out, but there is a twelve hour cooldown if you resign.

Get the special carbine (on the right wall) and a micro SMG, and you are set for heists. If you want to be a bit more helpful, get a homing launcher with ammo, but only use it if asked to, since it's 1k a shot and you probably missed out on the good times with hacker money. Use cover and be careful because of your lower health and armor, and you can do just as well as anyone else in heists despite your low level.
