I'm starting to get quite annoyed with constant Invites to Siege Mentality. Anyone know how to get rid of those? I accepted a couple and played them, but they still come.

Also every time I finish a job or activity now it tells me I have unlocked the Los Santos Belle T-shirt. Every. Time.

Just walking along between missions and suddenly a golden jet flys over shoots homing fireworks at me that rain moneybags over my head wherever I go. At least I think that's what happened. Either way, I went from about $7,000 to three and half million in about 20s.

20, laggy, but visually spectacular, seconds.

So I joined the game to do my dailies and mess about a bit, and then like 5 mins later this was happening



And then it was decided by consensus that there weren't enough planes.

Idea for free roam shenanigans: everyone find/buy a chopper (I'm not familiar with the motorcycles in GTA5), and ride around Los Santos as a MC. Chase down pubbies as a motorcycle gang, dick around with NPCs, or do our usual police-chase-to-airport-escape thing. Expect lots of deaths and faceplants.

Only if I can ride a sportbike because choppers are horrible.

The hydra is fat and sloppy compared to the Lazer, i wish I could buy a Lazer. It's WAY nimbler.

Also, the main tip to getting out of the airbase is Stay Low. You want to skim the ground and just clear the fence. That one enclosed hangar is usually the best, a straight shot out of there will put you out over the swamp and then you can get away from the cops pretty easy by climbing. Point your nose at the sky and go straight up and the police choppers won't keep up.

Getting is in players choice really, anything works up to a point. Just hope to hell it doesn't spawn tanks at you or you'll be pretty boned.

Alternative idea:
One player (the robber) starts in the middle of the map (maybe on the hill with the radio tower and Vinewood sign) in a fast, durable car (but no kuruma or insurgent) with bulletproof tires.
Everyone else (the cops) starts on opposite corners of the map. At the same time, they all begin to pursue the robber. The cops shouldn't purposely kill each other. Whoever kills the robber first takes his place in the next round.
Neither side can use air vehicles, submarines, explosives, or armed vehicles.
Kind of like a cops and robbers mixed with smear the queer.

Also, back in SAMP there was a cops and robbers game mode, but it gave the robber the best car in the game and the cops the slow police cruisers. None of that poo poo. Fast cars for everyone.
And no cops becoming allies with the robber otherwise the other cops are free to use explosives.

This sounds like a neat idea. Maybe place a small bounty on the Robber so he's marked on the map?

E: Also can the robber ever "win"?

Does completing consecutive sets of daily objectives actually do anything for you beyond the usual$ 25k and however much RP you get?

It goes 25k Daily, 100k every 7th consecutive day, 500k every 28th consecutive day. There are awards ingame to track your first weekly/montly bonus.

So doing the 28 days will get you 1.4 mil in cash. You get similar RP increases as well (I think 15000RP for the weekly?) but I can't recall the exact figures.

I haven't really noticed much of a performance hit at all, apart from the hilariously broken Ammu-nation problem. In general play the game both looks and performs how it did before as far as I can tell.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought you couldn't apply explosives to a tracked vehicle? And if you do apply explosives it tells you you will no longer be able to modify it at all. I think bomb planted vehicles are treated as purely disposable.

You don't even need loads of money or hugely fancy cars to do this! We usually end up piling into one or two vehicles anyway.

Also, if you're low level and a poor and you want something fancy like a hydra or a tank, hanging with goons and just asking will probably get you one to borrow.
