I think that the main reason I'm annoyed by having to call Martin over and over, is that so many of his missions are for 2 people, so when you get in a groups of 4-6 you waste a ton of time or get broken up. :(

I'll never play Death From Above again. It's a giant pain in the rear end for what amounts to an insulting payout.

Then again I now have a Buzzard so I could probably knock it out in no time.

My iFruit app claims my license plate is my custom one but since day one and after tens of hours of playtime I've never seen it. :(

As far as I can tell, you have to actually place an order through the app with the new license plate chosen for it to change. The app makes you change at least one thing about your car before you can make an order, so I did something like change the horn or rims or whatever, picked the custom plates, and made the order.

Please have your weapons prepared at the terminal.
Some random NPC put a 9000 dollar bounty on me for stealing her car. I've found that when evading your head being collected, grabbing a boat and standing out at sea with it works really well. So I call up Lester and tell him to point out a boat to me.

When I get to the dot he marked, I find it's a goddamn submarine. :monocle:

I dived down to the depths of the ocean offshore and I now have people waiting for me on the beach/swimming down to get me. I highly recommend doing this. All I'm missing is some popcorn.

I figure it's also an excellent way to go ahead and grab the "Evade your bounty for a day" achievement.

So last night I logged off with 30 minutes remaining as a bad sport only to log on today and still be here... You know I haven't had much issues with Online but it's starting to deter my will to play.

edit; Must have just been bugged as I could put a mask on with my dunce hat and after rejoining new sessions a couple times it finally told me I was out of Bad Sport hell. Yaaaay

Me llamo Sarah Brandolino, the eighth Castilian of this magnificent marriage.
I did some experimenting with cops and I found something out: if you ever sprint away when the cops are coming to search a scene (store, armored truck) they will always follow your trail with magically precise insight. Now, if you get away and the cops lose you (GPS not flashing) at any time then start sneaking, they won't follow you past the point you stopped sprinting. Makes all sort of sense, right? In fact, this is way better because when they aren't searching the wanted level (3 stars I tried) goes away almost immediately assuming the chopper doesn't see you, so keep this in mind guys.

e.

P.S. anyone wanna do some race wins?

I've seen two armored trucks, both times I planted a sticky on the back door and detonating it just destroyed the entire truck instead of blasting open the doors, resulting in me getting nothing.

Mission payouts are kind of weird all around really. Martin's first mission is Out of Court Settlement at level 22 which pays $9000 for killing one man and driving back to Madrazo's house. Then Death From Above is level 24 and pays $5000 for killing a million dudes and having to outrun three stars.

I've only come across ~5 on my level 25 character, but I started seeing them a lot more when I realized the map symbol looks almost exactly like the one for your car, with a larger grill.

I'm not saying they're not rare, but I was ignoring the ones on my map by accident for a long time.

I skipped buying a standalone garage and sent straight to a midlevel apt then rooftop rumbled my way up to level 40 and bought the most expensive apt in the game. If I go and buy a garage so I can get the achievement, am I out the 400k that I dropped on the apt? Or can you own both a standalone garage and an apt?

Having an apartment with a garage doesn't count, but you should be able to buy a garage and dashboard out without it saving the change. I bought my super expensive apartment first via the website, then a garage near the airport and it popped.

So I finally got a kill with the Annihilator chaingun yesterday. :getin:

Little kid around 11-12 starts chatting me up in the lobby when he hears me say something, then he starts begging me to give him a ride since he was stuck up on a mountain near the observatory. I talked him through me driving halfway across the city, picking up an Annihilator, and then telling him to get onto a nice clear open spot with no trees.

He shows up on a dirt track near the hilltop as I arrive and I start firing at him, swinging wildly with the rudders, and he runs behind some cop cars (his whole problem was being stuck on foot!) that arrived while I was shooting at him for a minute or three.. I finally convince him to move out into the open and he goes up the hillside a bit and I switched to first-person view, opened fire again, and killed him. Then I shot up the nearby cop cars and flew away.

He was the saddest little sucker in chat, and eventually left the game, still stuck on the hillside.


Edit: also, tanks being immune to lock-on must be a loving glitch, good lord.. Their cannon i pretty much hitscan so it's almost impossible to hit them with a rocket if they're diligent at all. But jihad Sanchez works a charm. :D

If there are other vehicles nearby, the sticky bomb starts a chain reaction that destroys the truck. Easiest way to do it is to plant the bomb, then get behind the trick while it's driving. This gets a buffer around it so there is no huge explosion, and the truck will usually drop the money and speed off.

You can actually see their emblems in game? Whenever I run into somebody from another crew their emblems are just a big blurry mess. Same for any other character's tattoos.

Some of the (arguably) best stealable cars (speed and traction):

Ocelot F620 (Coupé)
Lampadati Felon (Coupé)
Ubermacht Sentinel XS (Coupé)

Shyster Fusilade (Sport) <- speed
Maibatsu Penumbra (Sport) <- maneuverability/drifting

Vapid (?) Dominator (Muscle)

Also of note:

[Dont remember the brand] Fugitive - Limousine (fast and 4 seats!)
Sandking XL - Offroad (more like Ramking XL)

Most of them are also wanted by Simeon, so keep your eyes open for green icons on the map.


vvvvv You cant sell to other players I believe. You can sell personal cars to LS Customs however (at a significant loss if you tuned them). You can also overwrite cars in your garage if you just want to replace one. A dialog will pop up when you try to enter the garage when its full. vvvvvv
