A couple nights back, a buddy and I were flooded with armored trucks for several in game hours. They were spawning everywhere, even out in the desert. Now we're lucky to see one per real day. Anyone know if their spawn rate got neutered or something?

I just have so many stickies to share in exchange for cash sacks :(

I have this happen sometimes. It seems that if I pull out of my apartment, they spawn. It lasted about an hour last night, and made me $100k.

I think you actually can enable that map size as default under the Online->Options tab.

You'll recieve the first $250 000 at the end of next week if they can confirm they have fixed most of the problems with characters getting deleted and stuff. You'll get the last $250 000 close to the end of the month.

This reminds me: My friends and I were doing No Hay Bronca and were on our way to blow up the cars. When we got there, I started to get out of my friend's car, but he backed up "to a safe distance; don't want them to shoot out the tires" while I was getting out, dragging me along. He parked his car on the railroad tracks and got out, heedless of the oncoming train. I managed to pick myself up out of the way as the train made off with his car like some big industrial valet. At least the tires were okay when he went back for it so we could chase down the gang leader.

Well, since the goon PS3 squad is full, I'm just gonna throw my PSN out there: NattyBo1985. Just include goon in friend message or something, would love to play with goons.



Last night ended up farming the meth barn survival mission. 22k for surviving 10 waves, made close to 100k before everyone had to quit. Spent like 10 of that and then got ganked a couple of times, but still really fun. I wish there were more people doing survival

Please stop making every loving race in existence a supercar race. Supercar races are boring as poo poo.

The thing is that these are the same people that have no concept of braking. They pick these cars thinking "huuurrr durrrr car so fast so fun :downs:" but they have no idea how to control them. So expect them to all go flying right past that turn 1 that has anything like a 90 degree angle. Overtake > win.

I had no idea you could jump a moving train. I'm currently on a flatbed on a train circling the city. I really really need someone to join me and place a huge bounty on my head. GT: GET MY BELT SON

it won't let me take a pic while on the train but this is what it looks like

it's perfect



Another funny thing I like to do, similar to this, when I get a large bounty on my head: I grab a helicopter and fly up to the top of the tallest building in Los Santos with a sniper rifle (the one with the white helipad). It then becomes a large game of king of the hill. You get two types of people that play this:

1. Those who awkwardly hang around the bottom of the building, twiddling their thumbs, because they can't figure out how to get on top of the building. They'll do this for as long as you exist with the bounty up there.
2. Those who grab helicopters and fly towards you to try and kill you up there. Try and snipe them out the air before they land. It only gets more interesting when you're unsuccessful at this and you're chasing each other around the giant white helipad to the Benny Hill theme trying to off each other.

Now in something completely unrelated to that: goons, what's the best cash generating mission you can farm at around level 27? I'm looking to farm a bit for car mods and other fun.

I always like to do the Sandy Shores Survivor mission for the $20k payout. Takes a little while but it's hard to fail and it ups your shooting stat too.

I just take a heli to the top of the building and walk carefully on the beam connecting the crane to the building an from there it's only like 3 flights of stairs.

I'm going to have to take note of where that thing is.

Just had a really surreal experience. I had to leave a race because of a 12 year old British kid singing pop songs over the mic in the highest pitched voice to have npc army soldiers screaming "PLEASE LEAVE THE AREA!" and "SIR - YOU CANNOT BE HERE!" at me during the loading screen out. Now being shouted at by French people. :psyduck:

They're not terrible RP if you kill a ton of people.

It is a shame though; the stealth system makes deathmatches more interesting than I would normally think.

Anyone tried getting a bounty or 5 Star Wanted Level and then boarding the train? I have a feeling you could be close to invulnerable in it, seeing as how it allows you to auto aim from moving cover. A pubbie would have to be pretty clever about trying to kill you.

Probably be a pretty boring ride, though.

Was tooling around in a car I just stole from some npc driveway to see if I wanted to fix it up. Minding my own business I see this guy ahead driving towards me. I try to avoid him but he swerves into me and knocks me off the road. I figure well could be an honest mistake and beep to say all good. He whips out a smg and peppers the hood of my car. No monsieur, that dog won't hunt. So I chucked a sticky bomb onto the passenger seat of his car. He tried to drive away quickly, which was futile really. Let him get near some parked cars half a block away before I hit the detonator. So pretty.

He respawned and I drove up next to him and beeped again. He left the server. This game is great despite its faults.

I'm all for a different angle on death penalties as I hate that the hospitals take 2k. I think I'd actually be more ok with it if the player who killed me got that amount [or like 1k] because I would know I could go creeping on dudes for the same...

Update on criminal records exp glitch:

I've been running it with Angry_Greek.

They capped RP at 5k per mission overnight.

Do all those settings but only 2 laps.

They main key is to do your slower lap first, then your fastest lap last. The fastest lap has to beat the first lap by at least 4 seconds. You can do it on 3 laps, first lap slowest, 2nd lap faster, 3rd lap fastest. All seperated by at least 5 seconds. But since they capped it at 5k, 2 laps will do it. Doesn't matter who wins.

Have a friend get the chopper with missles. The friend gets a 4 star wanted while up north, you follow on the ground wait for one to spawn, and take the officers out and drive away. Call Lester to kill your Wanted Level after for an easier time.
