Garage the car before you turn the mission in. With Out of Court Settlement, garage it before you pick up the documents. You may need to shove his car off the case to avoid grabbing them as you get in.

Once it's in your garage you can fail the mission by getting killed, replay it, and get another car. You can fill your garage with them before completing it.

The big gray riot van spawns at the big cop shop in Vespucci. It's south of one of the weird mall roads that look like figure-8s. Clothing and convenience store nearby.

There really needs to be a "unwarented assult/kill" selection in the report menu, because gently caress pubbies. I'm trying to pick up my car from the insurance agency and some rear end in a top hat runs me over as I'm getting in and kills me and when I repawn, all my tires have been shot out. Then as I'm trying to collect a bounty on someone else some random jackoff decides to run me off the cliff and cause my car to blow up.

This $500,000 we're supposed to get from Rockstar is starting to not even entice me to keep playing. Most of my friends are going hunting this weekend so I'm probably going to find something (fun) to play instead.

Oh it gets even better. I did a mission last night when in the end I got half payment compared to the host. First time doing it as well. It may of been because I was under leveled but doesn't make it any less bullshit.

I think the least fun I've had so far was doing San Andreas Seoul alone for Lamar: the one where you steal a tanker truck from the gas station in Little Korea. Yeah, you try chugging that behemoth up a steep grade with two-star wanted level cops bumping you in every direction. I got Lester to get them off me... and then that was it.

I got $2500 net profit for a Sunday drive. It was kinda nice, almost, just... driving a dang tanker up some hills. If it wasn't so amusing how pointless I had just made the mission I might have been more disappointed.

Post your garage! Or rather, the contents since garages themselves aren't terribly exciting. Also I'm bad at videogame cell phone photography.




No emergency vehicles or helicopters since it's easy enough to find them or have one delivered for $1k. That and I'm far too lazy to attempt storing one. The 10th spot, currently occupied by the light blue Rebel, gets rotated out every now and then. Probably gonna replace it with a Sandking once I find the 2-door version. I see them in Blaine County every now and then, so it shouldn't be too much of a pain.

Also a Futo with all of the unlockable upgrades is hilariously fun to drive. I've thought of replacing it with something else but it's just too awesome to let go.

Karin Rebel (based on an older Toyota Tacoma/Hilux I think). It's classified as off-road, I found it parked outside a store I was robbing in Grapeseed. Just check north of the city, you'll eventually find them driving around. Normally looks like a regular 4x4 pickup truck, it has a bunch of visual mods in LSC.

It should be noted that there are two versions, one is the dirty version that has a ton of mods and looks rusted and a clean version that has a chrome brush guard and roll bars in the bed and has no mods at all. The clean one seems incredibly rare, I have only seen one once and I have looked numerous times.

I agree with this.

I really like doing races. To be really competitive in all the races I need 10 vehicles for the 10 categories of cars available to race in. This leaves me no cars to actually screw around with. I just want a garage with retarded cars aside from my racing vehicles.

Just finished the longest freeroam session yet for me.

After winning a bunch of races(against a group that only ran supers and motorcycles(which both suck) I somehow got host and switched to muscle, compact, offroad and sport and then they left) I left my apartment with my green sabre(I shot CJs mom, yo). As I left my apartment, I noticed two others in the same garage who just disappeared, meaning they left for the road. I set up and killed them both as they left and then jumped into my muscle car and hit the pedal, heading east for the mod shop. They both respawn and give chase. Wait, what's that coming from the north, another dude blindly charging me? And three more from the mod shop?

I check my player list and yup, they were all in the same crew. gently caress. Suddenly I'm on the run from six other muscle cars(I guess they wanted to streetrace but didn't think of making a crew-only server) in a muscle car of my own and they are rather efficiently circling around me, cutting off my escape routes.

I get forced into a one-way street and one of them cut it off from the other side(together with some cops that had followed me and the rest but not him, he had stayed a bit away from the action). I set up shop in a door entrance that gives medium cover against their support while the other five charge in blindly. As I have the assault shotgun, the battle was rather brief even if I did take some damage. However, the last dude manage to pick me off but got shot by the cops as a result.

We respawn and I manage to clear out the five attackers with the assault shotgun while the other is trying to close the distance. Two cars next to me, an Issi and a Granger, who's drivers had fled the scene. I sticky the front of the Granger and put out one of the front tires and promtly drive towards the lockup with the Issi. They all follow in the Granger but since I'm rather decent with the Issi and they got a flat tire I manage to get some space between us.

When I reach the impound lot I jerry their rides. They would've gotten me but about a block away from catching up to me I detonate the sticky to buy some time. As I ignite the gasoline with my flames and speed out of there just as they arrive to see their cars explode without me getting bad sport or insurance debt I honk my La Cucaracha while they spout curses in spanish and, from what I understood, informed me that they all banged my mother several times per day. My spanish is not that good though. Within a few seconds they all leave the server and I'm left with some random pubbie and prepare to wait out the cops in my garage.

After the cops stopped searching, I check my map to see if it's safe to go out and notice he is out there, waiting for me. Using the teleport job menu I appear about a block away and quickly snipe him. I did not know what I had started because I spent the next one and a half hour playing a cat and mouse game with him that burned literally all my ammo. At the end I had to charge him while under fire from cops and him to get him with my knife and use the ammo that he dropped for my next assault. Final score was 29-16 in my favor but that doesn't account for about 20 cop deaths for him and about ten for me. With liberal use of bounties I managed to dispose of four different personal vehicles of his without getting any bad sport points but then my daughter woke up form her name and I had to call it a day for now.


But yeah, that's one of the best sessions I've had.

So I saw a pubby in a tank fighting a bunch of cops and pubbies, so I landed on a rooftop and put 15 grenade launcher rounds directly onto his (stationary) his tank while another goon hit him with a half dozen stickies and we both put several clips of sniper rifle ammo into his nametag area AND an airstrike and then he just drove off like it was loving nothing.

gently caress tanks. Allow lock-on to them at least. It's hard enough not loving autoaiming onto the cops surrounding them.

I think the most fun I had with a bounty was daring myself to cross the map and make it home alive. I ran all the way up into Paleto Bay just to sell the car I was driving in peace, then took some other sedan onto the train tracks by the chicken factory and starting barreling down the east side of the map. It was all very smooth until I got to South Central LS right outside the impound lot, where some pubbies who were trying to air reconnaissance me decided to go for glory and kamikaze dive at me while i was barred in by the walls along the track. Sad for them I wiggled right at the last second and they were engulfed in flames for absolutely nothing.

I got back home and relaxed until they stopped camping my garage door and went after someone else for a while, who I tried to help by issuing bounties on his pursuers but they got my brother-in-arms in the end.

But being the only bounty on the map and hiding like a wimp was boring, so I joblisted out and scurried into the subway with a soccer mom minivan for a good ten minutes while half a dozen players trawled overhead in jets and cars like "WHERE'D HE GO? HE'S RIGHT HERE" while I ran up and down the length chuckling to myself. Until I crashed it perfectly parallel and wedged it sideways in the tunnel. Uh oh.

Get out on foot, and every thundering missile fire aboveground and random sound effect has me on edge while I'm hoofing it through the long stretch without any way out, either up to a station or sideways to the sewers/river basin. Who finally finds me down in there more or less defenseless as a trapped rat but my ex-comrade in arms? I lay down and accept death like a man; to the victor go the $3000 spoils.

Then I respawn aboveground and get run over in 30 seconds.

-----

Next time I'm going to see how many times I can get home from the north end of the map before I get iced. Maybe we need a Kill The Guy With The Ball Bounty session together like the old SA:VC days. (Can't really do it solo because you need someone to be honorable and voluntarily leave their impregnable sanctuary.)

I switched apartments to the Weazal building, I've got the door open, walk backwards to the buzzard with a drawn weapon, and try to get in the buzzard. The climbing in the buzzard animation starts and it cuts into the walking animation and I just end up walking in the garage.

I got stuck where you did too. I found out that you're supposed to slightly angle the Buzzard so that the pilot seat is facing the garage, instead of having the buzzard facing dead-on with the garage. So angle the nose of the buzzard into the right corner so when you walk backwards with the pistol you never have to face forward to climb inside.

I was able to get the buzzard in front of the garage with the door open and able to enter the buzzard... but it never went into the open garage. Eventually I blew up the rotor and gave up, so I'd like to know how to as well.
