If anyone wants to trade race wins/grind, or help me find a Sandking XL then please shoot me a message in game.

Also, I'm about to make the PS3 racing crew. What's a good name? Right now I'm thinking Grand Theft Awful, but I'm open to other suggestions.

I'm trying the car selling glitch now and every time I come back from the online store I'm in the same (second, cheaper) car instead of the expensive one I'm trying to dupe. I know the video mentions that if this happens you have to restart but I've tried a few times. Not sure if they fixed it or if I'm just unlucky.

You'll see them less frequently when you level out of it, then Luxors will spawn instead and you'll wonder why you didn't buy a Cargobob.

It's sold through Warstock, right next to the Rhino. It also costs like an extra $250k so I hope you have a couple mil handy.

You may have to be a certain level for it to unlock, like the Annihilator?

Yeah you can buy the Buzzard. It's on the Warstock website.

The cargobob is the only one you can't buy, which is extremely unfortunate.

Nevermind, turns out even if you come back to LSC and you're in the second car you can just go get the original car and sell -> online store -> back out and dupe it like normal.

Ever since I got an apartment I've done the sensible thing with my money.

Spent every last little bit I earn on buying clothes. Lots and lots and lots of clothes. I have millions of random shoes I will never wear, but I bought them because they were there. I only use two specific outfits, really, but every time I earn money, or level up and see the "[x] new clothes unlocked" thing I beeline to a clothes store ASAP because I need more dammit. :shepspends:

Yeah I was following it verbatim (except for making a new game since people in the comments said it was unnecessary) only when I'd come back from the store I'd never be in my custom vehicle, it'd always be the second one I got in. I just got out, went to my custom car, got in LSC, sold it -> immediately went to online store and was able to dupe it from there out. No need to keep restarting the process until it loaded up correctly.

This totally works, I've made 4 million dollars doing it so far. I'm kind of afraid to push further just in case they do start bad sporting people who do it, and I figure people with hundreds of millions of dollars will be the first against the wall.

I was in a lobby with a guy who claimed to have 112 million from that exploit.

Kind of pissing me off that it takes a solid minute to switch between lobbies for Race or Deathmatch. On top of the fact that that you just randomly get thrown into one and have no way of knowing what mode or other preferences the host is using.

It seems like this whole job system was made to be as byzantine as possible. Your options for doing things are:

-Wait until someone invites you (good luck with it being one you want!)
-Use the map to go into any job (but realize you need cash on hand for whatever reason, go into your phone to withdraw the money you just deposited because gently caress you)
-Use the quick join where you are thrown into a random lobby vaguely matching the category (bicycle race, airplane race, rally etc.)

Even worse how they restrict co-op missions from being selected post-round, which kinda eliminates the point of it being a lobby.

It took me a couple times too before they showed up. What I finally did was jump onto the roof of the store near trevor using the cactus trick (after getting 3 stars by killing the clerk) and just last standing it up there until one showed. Make sure to kill all the dudes that come out of it before you die so they don't drive off with it

Seriously, this is like the dumbest thing. I want to play co-op missions with a buddy, but every mission is broken up by 5-10 minutes of having to mess around in freemode while one of us picks up a proper mission.

Not to mention it seems like a lot of co-op missions involves crosscountry drives for absolutely no reason.

My new favorite thing: get a cargobob & pick up as many goons as you can find. Grab a 4 door car with the hook, place it atop the Maze Bank skyscraper & land the cargobob there to. Without saying a word, get out and get into the drivers seat of the car and just lay on the horn. If the goons are worth their salt, they'll come along for the ride down.

When opening the job from the job list it tells you how far away it is on the bottom of the phone screen, so you can see how far you are away from the job objective before you even start it.

Since I hit 50 I have been doing a few small jobs to get a little cash then sitting in my apartment spectating other players until I see someone sitting still, pull out my phone and get Lamar to send a mugger after them, then watch them on the tv while I giggle. Unfortunately once they have stolen the cash from another player you have to track the mugger down and retrieve it. At one stage I had 3 pubbies chasing my successful mugger cross country for his cash.

Hey Coja, I've played with you a bunch as XenoEnder612, however on our crew site it says I have 0 RP and am level 1 with the crew which is inaccurate. I'm actually level 28 per online and I play daily so I wouldn't recommend removing people based on what the social club says though I do agree that we should remove inactive players.

That's why I said I'm looking at people's online RP to see if they've played online at all. That at least is accurate. A few days ago the leaderboard actually worked and I could see people's crew RP in a numerical list. Now it just shows random people on each page.

I like the Injector. It's pretty good for off-roading, and it's fun when a mission starts and everyone's got tricked out supercars and motorcycles and I've just got my filthy, VW Beetle-looking rustbucket with giant off-road tires and a Dixie horn.

Enemy accuracy is loving retarded in this game.

I was at full zoom on my advanced scope in order to take down a guy in cover. And even then it was a hard shot since I couldn't zoom as much as I wanted too.

He was BLIND FIRING his assault rifle and doing significant damage to me.

That is not right.

If you ever want to skip the drive at the beginning of a mission just have everyone in the mission kill themselves. Costs nothing except the cost of whatever you use to blow yourself up and when you restart the mission you'll be right at the objective.
