What else determines whether or not you show up on radar? I seem to always be able to see everybody on the enemy team at all times, is that just because they are sprinting around non-stop?

Do you have to be in stealth mode to not show up, or is just walking enough?

Depends on the game mode. Deathmatch/TDM/LTS are dependent on your stealth stat, if you're moving (and how fast, sprinting and jumping make you much more visible on radar), and which weapons you're using. If you're using unsuppressed weapons you're going to light up like a Christmas tree every time you fire.

Of course, in free roam, you're entirely viewable by everybody on the server and suppressed weapons only server to make the cops not come as quickly.

Also, quick poll: which slot are people who are having trouble with their characters using? Because I selected #2 off the bat (#1 was filled with some pasty-faced neckbeard who I generated but never used) and I've yet to have an issue.

Pretty sure the RT to retry option doesn't save your progress during the mission, so any money earned disappears when you retry that way. Looks like they patched out the ability to farm missions, unfortuantely. :smith:

Trip Report on grinding Base Invaders, which gives a $25k payout. Totally do-able with a 4-man crew, note that Ron's plane only holds 3 people and sometimes glitches and won't let a third in. You can get around this by getting a Merriweather helo (lvl 30) or suiciding once at least one person has entered Ron's plane and you'll respawn at the base. Once you're there you have all sorts of options and I think that's the fun of the mission so I won't give step-by-step but here's what you need to know:

- Lazers can be blown by either C4 or a grenade (but it needs to be close)
- The 2 Lazers nearby each other in front of the hangars often have a handful of guards and a jeep
- There are sometimes tanks that will roll by the hangar area, but it seems not to be scripted to happen until a couple minutes after you arrive at the base
- Once you blow any Lazer, the base alarm will sound and soldiers will spawn endlessly
- One of the places soldiers spawn is from a double door to the left of the hangar that has the Cargobob
- The Cargobob hangar usually has 4-6 dudes inside of it. You can snipe most of them from outside (look on the catwalks inside) but a couple are often out of sight so be careful going in

Since I'm sick I've got all afternoon set aside for GTAO. Looking to do anything with goons on 360, my gamertag is ninpo617.


Ron's plane can hold 4 people, we did it a billion times last night. Some people have a lot of trouble getting into the back seat; I have a theory that it has something to do with their character model. Like, maybe really tall people can't get in to prevent clipping? Anyways if someone can't seem to get in the back seat, put them in one of the front seats and see if the people who were in the front seats can get in the back.

Also, sniper rifles are worthless against AI. They barely zoom far enough to allow you to shoot an AI without them laser targeting you right back, you can't move when zoomed, you always start at minimum zoom when you aim, suppressors in general are worthless against AI after the first shot, and half the time the AI is psychic and will duck out of the way as soon as you line up on them, even if they aren't looking your way. It's really loving stupid.

Mega deal with it

God drat, Online is a blast now that it's mostly working for me. Thanks to the Street guys who helped grind that Duct mission a bunch of times, now I just have to figure out what I'm gonna spend all these ducats on.

E: For those having trouble getting everyone into the plane for Base Invaders, you can jump the fence right behind the checkpoint at the base entrance on the left side (facing the base). There's a grassy hill that will carry you over the lip if you gun it in most cars.

I've only been able to connect once since they put up this mess and it froze when I started the first race. After that it failed to connect every time I try to get online. I'm not even sure why I'm still trying since everything I hear from the online mode sounds terrible.

I don't exactly remember, but there's either an option at the bottom to distribute the money or you need to press X/A twice. (Once to set the amounts, twice to confirm)

Unless you've seen the mission's name in someone's discussion of farming it, like Violent Duct or No Hay Bronca or Meth'd Up and so on, the payout range from decent to not worth it compared to races.

If you have enough skill to brake going into a turn and to slow down for 5 seconds instead of crashing and losing 5 seconds, you can bank $5000+ on a top position or $3000+ on a middle finish and probably have more fun than playing a scrapyard shootout 20 times.

They let you go back in and actually buy things with the mask off like candy/snacks to heal you mid-mission or beer/cigarettes for goofy victory pose stuff.

If you don't wear a mask the dude behind the counter will recognize you the next time you walk in, that's all.

Ah ok, so they don't help you escape the cops by removing the mask afterwards or anything?

Looks like that was a misunderstanding. Seems to be collector's edition only. I would love it if someone who doesn't have the CE can confirm they have the free property.
