Just got home from work and logged in, online account is still up and running. I think it helps that I only got about $3m from the glitch, which honestly seems like more than enough money at this point, even considering filling a 10-car garage and getting all the cars modded up. I suppose I should do some racing now to unlock mods, but I've got no idea on the slipstreaming, etc. and how we're supposed to do it.

We blew up a few cars too but didn't get any notifications, hopefully they weren't personal vehicles. Sup buddy. That dude riding the train was loving crazy, I didn't know you could do that.

Last night a buddy and I were exchanging wins on 1 lap of Criminal Records, more so to unlock car mods. Other than doing that, what do people mean by RP grinding on that map? At level 27 I was getting +625 for winning the race and significantly less than that for coming in 2nd to my friend on the off races, but is there more RP to be earned?

We were thinking that you just have to complete the race really fast and that the slipstreaming had nothing to do with it. They also stealth patched the RP you get from it so you can only max out at like 4k? or something.

Question about trading race wins with a friend. My buddy has a lower level character with a lower level car than mine (mine is a Carbonazzara or whatever). We want to game some races to earn car mods. What settings do I need the "Vehicle" on in order to make this work?

Cars you own don't matter. You get a selection of cars you can just use when you pick a class.

What's everyone's opinons on free aim vs. assisted aiming? I turned on free aim a while ago because I was kind of soured by the idea of people auto aim killing me as a I drove by, but the more missions I play with free aim the more I'm convinced this game was just balanced with assisted aiming in mind. I don't think I'll ever be able to kill 15+ NPCs with insane accuracy and impeccable situational awareness in the dark while I'm using free aim

I'm looking to replace either my Sandking (it doesn't do what it should do: be fast, own the road and plow everyone else out of the way) or Sheriff SUV with a muscle car, what are the recommended that have good mods and a secondary color, as well as being generally good cars?

I got five and a half minute solo Base Invaders (on easy) down to an art tonight, I failed once in like 12 times. On easy the reward is still $25,000 but the RP says 1000 on the reward screen and 700 on the voting screen, so who knows. The one the guy posted before was too much of a pain in the rear end, so I adapted it to be much simpler and instantly repeatable. It required little enough attention that I mostly watched Youtube while doing it. Start at the Sandy Shores airfield. Land at the near end of the base runway. There's two soldiers to the right of the far right jet. Line up a sniper shot to kill them both at the same time. If they both die instantly with a single bullet, nobody will be alerted (thus easy mode. If you had a heavy sniper, you could do the same with hard probably). Run up behind the far right jet and throw a sticky bomb at it. Get into the Jeep next to the jet. Ignore all of the enemies and drive by both of the other jets and throw sticky bombs onto them. Beeline straight into the hangar, park directly to the right of the Cargobob. I've never been damaged once I've gotten in, I guess it's well-armored. Fly out and detonate the sticky bombs. You can instantly restart because you'll be back at Sandy Shores airfield. The only time I failed was because for some reason a truck was parked right in front of the Cargobob when I got there and it exploded when I moved it. Also sometimes you won't even get hit with this method, but it's best to buy armor since a couple times I got down to half health even after starting with armor.

I personally think that you should not be able to auto-aim at someone in a vehicle. This would improve the game immensely.

The only muscle cars with a secondary (stripe) are the Gauntlet, Dominator, Sabre, and Phoenix. The Sabre is occurs most commonly in the world, so every level 1-10 player has one. Dominator is next most common and I have that one, because it has great power for how little it slides around. The Gauntlet is probably comparable and might even slide around a little less. The Phoenix is the weakest accelerating and slides all over the place, but is the coolest looking. me your dad posted:Question about trading race wins with a friend.

What settings do I need the "Vehicle" on in order to make this work? Criminal Record race, 3 laps, super car class, traffic on, wanted levels on. Pick any car. Drive slowly the first lap around, trading off overtakes for 1st place (don't hit anything for a clean lap bonus), stretch the lap out to about 40 seconds. Next lap race faster, still trading overtakes and slip streaming each other when possible. At the end of this lap, with the overtakes and lap record bonus, you should hit max RP for the activity. If not, keep racing and trading overtakes for the last lap. You should get just over two full bars of RP during the race. Zaa Boogie posted:Cars you own don't matter.

Free Aim is total poo poo because of the Pistol-sniping enemy NPCs more than the players themselves.

Free Aim makes complete sense in death matches (even though I do about 100% worse that way), but in missions it's terrible because the AI rarely misses. Either there needs to be an option to only turn on Free Aim in PVP, or the AI's accuracy needs to be brought down a bit.

The problem is that when you try to snap aim on someone coming to kill you, you will always seem to snap to a random civillian. They need to make players the Priority. (Yes I know that sounds terrible) EDIT: also, to whoever was asking about emblems. I was saying to wait it out. Not to reset your poo poo.

(Yes I know that sounds terrible) It doesn't, it's absolutely true. You can grief the poo poo out of people by pulling a horde of cops with you to kill them, because they will never be able to target you. I've been shot by a fucker right next to me because I couldn't untarget cops across the steet. And don't even think about trying to free aim from a locked on target, watching the view sloooooowly creep over.

Don't pull the aiming trigger (LT) all the way into the controller. If you use less than full pressure, the game doesn't lock on to anything at all. It isn't ideal but it is better than nothing. I imagine PS3 users have to use L2/R2 to get the same functionality.

So does anyone have more than one character on GTA V online? I haven't tried yet because I'm afraid of character deletion. Also, if the above does work, does a bad sport rating apply across all characters, or just the one you got the rating with?

Spoon Man posted:I assume the BF Dune Buggy doesn't exist in GTA Online or it is, at the very least, the rarest vehicle. I can't even get a single search result hit of someone referencing it outside of single player or stock choices in an offroad race. The rank 70 Trevor mission “Chopper Tail” features dune buggies. You can usually go to your garage mid‐mission, so if the buggy can be stored in a garage at all, you should be able to get one from the mission.

A while back someone posted the best 4 person stealable car. Anyone remember which one it was? I've been searching the thread with no luck.

I thought wins had to be achieved within the same class of cars as your own vehicle. Since I likely drive a higher-tier vehicle, I wasn't sure if the wins would count for us without changing the class each race. So say he drives an entry level sedan and I'm in my Carbonazzara. If I set the vehicle class to match my car, will he still get credit toward races won for his car mods?

It will start drawing lines behind the car in front if you continue to stay behind them and make a sound like a tea kettle starting to get up to temp and start whistling. It will be increasing your speed until you are going faster than the lead car and pass them. Typically this happens to me right at a corner and I get flung off the track. You have to hold it for 5 seconds(basically the time it takes to get up to speed to overtake) to get credit. It has nothing to do with the Catch Up setting. Easiest way to get it to happen would just be to drive identical cars on a large track with lots of straightaways to pass back and forth.
