The most annoying thing about exploiters is now I can't sell my legitimate car I don't like anymore because it's worth more than 50k :argh:

Mega deal with it

I dunno, one time a fellow goon's tricked out Elegy ended up in my garage and I sold it to LCS for 88 grand. Especially odd since you can't even sell an elegy you own for any price.

Whoever it was that said planting stickies on the ground in front of Simeon's garage is a genius. I was playing with a buddy and he mentioned that someone took the high priority car. We headed to the garage and I planted two stickies on the ground and drove away. He stuck around to try to kill the guy. The person showed up and killed the guy I was with. I'm guessing he got a false sense of security after killing the person trying to intercept him and drove to the garage. He got the door to open and then I blew him up.

God I love this game.

Fired up online to screw around, grabbed a helicopter and was hopping from convenience store to convenience store. Getting into the outskirts of the western side of the map, I noticed two other players riding together trying to shake some 3-star cops and failing pretty hard at it. So I decided to set the chopper down near them in the hopes they'd get the idea to get in, and help them lose their tail. They must've been on the same wave-length because they hopped right in.

As soon as I took off the police chopper slammed into us, sending us careening into a building and killing all 3 of us. When we all respawned they ran up to me and beat me mercilessly with baseball bats.

I couldn't stop laughing.

Yeah I just love some of the random poo poo that can happen. One of the more hilarious moments I had recently was a fist fight with a random pubbie that ended when an npc driven car decided to run us both down with no warning. In retrospect I guess having a brawl in the middle of the street was a bad great idea!

They're incredibly common and are one of the best things to sell at LSC because they go for a high price and spawn routinely. No sense buying it, just jack one (or three) off the street and shove them into your garage. I am rarely without at least one in my garage awaiting the LSC sale cooldown when I'm in freeroam.

The only car you should be stashing to sell is the one the lawyer drives in the "Out of Court Settlement" mission. It has bulletproof tires and sells for 22k.

Getting someone with a car-bomb outside of LSC is probably the best thing. Thrax23 had the pleasure of being an unwitting witness to a poor pubbie blowing himself (and his nearby car) to hell. It accrues bad sport points, unfortunately. Like every other fun thing in this game.

This got me thinking: couldn't someone just pour a big gasoline puddle in front of the ramp at an occupied LSC and then backfire it the instant a vehicle emerges?

Once you got the Adder modded up it became maybe 45 mins to an hour of selling to get that 20 million. I spent more time doing Rooftop Rumble to get the initial seed money.

Can you do this with one person? I'm sitting in it right now, but when I try to garage it it says "you can't access your garage while you have a mission objective". If it despawns after turning in the mission to Martin, how do you hold on to it to sell?

DO NOT pick up the briefcase.

1) Kill Lawyer
2) DO NOT TAKE BRIEFCASE
3) Take lawyer's car to your garage
4) Go back and get briefcase and finish mission.

You cannot enter a garage carrying a mission item, and you cannot drop it. Don't pick it up until after you safely stash the car.

This. I spend my hour between sales calling him every so often until I get this mission so that I have one garaged. Also, kill the lawyer by driving up behind him at a stoplight and shotgunning him in the back of the skull on foot. No fuss, no muss

Always look at the enemy this way: they are all world-class snipers who all tied for Gold at an Olympic shooting exercise. Never approach without SOME form of cover and don't even bother with Free Aiming because they'll whittle you down before you can even aim your sights at half of them.

And beware of them spawning in out of nowhere from time to time.

Any other SUV with Rails/Stairs.

In summation. I need a sheriff SUV.

I went through 50 pages trying to find the post where someone listed the number of unique modifications for each car... could not find it.

Yep, that's up to 600 players for every single weapon to get different colors. Fortunately, you can buy pink with money. And Pink is all that matters :colbert:

Ganging up with crew members and killing tons of pubbies over and over is really what this game is about. Had fun with Brotein Shake and TooManyPowers up in the airfield tonight against a particular fucker with a minigun and RPG.

Any time multiple crew members are on a map and not running missions we should just be in a cluster loving poo poo up.

A real goddamn shame the dropping all your money on death mechanic doesn't work. They get mad enough as it is, I can only imagine the tears if they dropped all their exploited money.

Trying to enforce some moral code is almost worse then them just doing it lol.

Not to be an honor glitch police, but ironically watch out either way, those are their personal cars meaning too many in a row, bad sport.

Reposting this because the thread moves fast, and this idea only works if a lot of people know about it and start using it.


Temporary crew for BAD SPORTS to find each other easily

The Bad Sport Bears
(Always open, multi-platform, temporary crew for bad sports)

The idea is goons stuck in bad sport hell can't really find each other (and keep getting mission invites they can't accept), so basically with this (always open) crew the players from all our crews can join whenever they get BS status so they can actually meet up and have fun. Then once your time in hell is up, just go back over to R* social and leave the crew to make room for others.

Just come and go as you need to.

We probably don't have too many in lock up at any given time, so this should work as a multi-platform crew. Obviously there aren't any members right now, but hopefully this catches on and we can make bad sport hell a lot more fun for each other.

Who says I am doing it for some moral code? poo poo, I exploit the selling glitch myself. I have no delusions about it. I just love to grief pubbies and it is easy to do because they concentrate around LCS. And yea the sticky bombs are only a last resort if I miss my sniper shots.
