Supposedly there was a huge wave of bans today. Rockstar has been keeping quiet about the reasons, nothing but boilerplate responses about their algorithms.

Not sure the general SA rules on discussion of hacks/mods/etc. I think the Games forum is currently closed to public so that would be the biggest concern IMO. I aint the mod though, so


The wheel space marked VEHICLE yes is supposed to change weekly, presumably with something of new content for the next few weeks. This is in discussion of the MYSTERY space though. If you land there, there are 7 types of prizes- clothes, ammo, snacks, vehicles, discounts, etc, and then a list of possible prizes for each category. The Lost MC Slamvan is one of the very very few (non police or utility) vehicles in the game that there is no legit way to purchase or steal, so its a rare commodity to be able to get one

edit: speaking of.. is the Mariachi Tornado Custom(with rust and guitars) and the Dubsta 2 the only instances of rare cars that are still only available to the patient? The hearse is off the list as of a few DLC's ago when it showed up in the store. There's a few high dollar cars like the Sandking XL that can be spawned, but those don't have any mods that make them unable to purchase, their draw is that they come pre-modded and sell for close to 20k

The Phoenix is possible to steal but a bitch to spawn.

The lack of a weaponized hearse is shameful. At the very least you should be able to extend that coffin out the back to fire as a missile launcher or mortar or minelayer.

Dumb question then, where are you getting attack choppers and stuff? Just calling them through pegasus or do you need to have it active when you start? One of the ones we tried, I was unable to call the mechanic to summon cars

If you have a hangar and your attack choppers are personal vehicles, you can call them in through the interaction menu.

Some questions:

My nightclub is almost fully upgraded but I only have 3 workers on special cargo, coke, & counterfeit money. What's the next operation I should buy? What's the least profitable of all the nightclub-connected businesses?

What's the best attack aircraft for someone who usually plays solo in public sessions? The Akula?

And finally, if the events of GTA Online are set before the events of GTA Story Mode, why does Paige mention the "Jay Norris incident" when I do the Terrorbyte Targeted Data mission?

You want guns and meth as well. Akula is fantastic. Everything from the Doomsday Heist, and possibly even gunrunning, happens after single player.

Go to LSC - I can't do it inside CEO office custom garage but I haven't tried using ArenaWars garage.

1. Select your matte color.
2. Back out, go to Metallics, but don't select one.
3. Back out twice to main menu.
4. Go to Plate, and change your plate color (whatever is cheapest)
5. Go back to Respray -> Pearlescent - you can now select your Pearlescent.

Is there a way to do this on things that don't have plates, like the Avenger?

Does the vehicle workshop module in the MOC work like that too, or is only the storage module capable of that? I already have an avenger, so I don’t really know what utility a MOC could bring me other than getting 14 to shut the gently caress up.

Never change, Rockstar.

This happened for me on the armor disruption prep, and when I changed sessions it told me it was completed. Hopefully my island isn’t full of heavily armored assholes.

I thought those helmets were entirely cosmetic. How do you turn on the functionality?

From the interaction menu. Go to style, make sure the visor is down, then go to accessories and scroll down to your helmet and press space. If you want to turn it off, repeat and hit space in the accessories menu like before, or just toggle visor up from style.

I did the first scope-out with friends, music festival and all. Then I helped them do their first scope out, so I had to watch the cutscenes way too many times. They give friends that come with you delightfully ridiculous floral outfits, which I appreciated.

How's Cayo work with a party? It's not the standard 4 player required heist (at least I don't think so?) so is this 1m or so/hour going to be split amongst whoever is in the group at the time? Sorry for the questions, my friend is the one who bought the sub so I can't see what he's seeing and he was making it sound like we had to do everything last night.

More people means you can grab more loot, but there’s a point where you hit diminishing returns. It takes 2 people to open the special loot doors in the compound without glitching. Payout is split however you choose to apportion it.

Is a cargobob worth investing in? It seems like it'd be great for the missions like the excess weapons parts delivery if I could carry the truck across the map but wasn't sure if it wasn't great for use in online for some reason. I imagine it's a pretty easy target in public lobbies but that's not an issue for me since I'm only playing in private lobbies.

It can’t hook any delivery vehicles that are worthwhile; best you can do is hook the cars for import/export delivery.
