Are there specific apartments you need to have to get the riot van into? I tried for almost an hour this morning and failed miserably I can't remember which apartment I have but its the one near the big construction building it holds 10 cars I think its a luxury apartment.

All of the 10 car garages have a heist room. It will be the small office to the left of the door.

Can anyone elaborate more on the process of "baiting" tanks out of the base and stealing them ?

Someone mentioned a cliff to the north overlooking the base. I think I found a good spot, about to give it a go.

Are people getting the Rockstar money yet? Do you have to login to the game to get it (because I didn't see it on the SocialClub site)?

Ditto, I spend 90% of my time doing races, I'm at level 30 and only starting to get close to being able to buy the cheapest apartment (I keep getting distracted by car customization or I'd have one already). I step into free roam and it's crazy. Once they fix the glitch, I am sure they will wipe the characters of those who exploited it, or at least wipe their possessions and money. If they don't, they are going to alienate a huge portion of their fanbase, it's very frustrating seeing prompts to buy money when you are broke knowing there are people who cheated their way to billions. I can't understand the thinking of people who think Rockstar will do nothing, it will be very easy for them to deduce who is glitching and it will be good for their pocketbooks to take the cheat money away.

There's usually at least a third of every game I join dicking around at an LSC. Either glitching, or killing glitchers. There is most certainly a sizable part of the user base doing it, and banning them is pretty much a lock that those people stop playing and they lose out on future DLC money for stuff

I was finally able to get the riot van into my garage after I ripped off the driver's side door and parked the van sideways. The passenger side of the van should be as close as possible to the garage door, and the driver's side should be facing the street. After I parked it this way, it only took a couple of tries to get it in.

All of the online DLC is going to be free so there's no revenue stream lost there (aside from Shark cards). The only paid DLC will be single-player stuff.

Yep, just zoom in on the base and if you see a tank, shoot it and it only, 2-3 tanks will come out to chase you and you can steal one of those

If you don't see one within a couple minutes then drop to single player and join a new online session

How are people finding people lsc glitching. I never see it.


It seems to help but not by tons on survival and freeroam. I think you also get full health when it clicks. When I hit 40/100 I started surviving shots with sliver of health that would normally kill.
It's pretty obvious, look for a lonely LSC, watch a white dot race to it at high speed, go inside, turn into a circle-slash (means they're in a menu" then they leave the game. A lot of the time when they swap character they end up in the same freeroam, so you just put something in front of the door and wait for a minute or so. Most of them seem too focused on getting phat staxx of lewt to actually notice that there's someone standing around outside their LSC.

The LSC nearest to Weazel is probably the most popular, the one in the canal/trainyards area by Lester is probably the second most popular, and the one nearest to the airport is the easiest one to blow up people's cars with gas because they tend to respawn on the far side of the building, overlooking the ocean.

The ignition bomb and parking outside the LSC almost always works. I was doubtful at first, but it never failed me and it's funny as hell.

My new favorite thing is taking a chopper and landing it on top of the building to the left of the LSC downtown. You can snipe a few blocks in most directions, including people that want to get into the LSC.

Some dudes the other day were trying to do some unofficial racing or whatever I guess and I kept sniping them. Eventually one of them sent me a message asking me nicely not to kill them any more, which I promptly ignored. Man I don't give a poo poo, I'd kill my own mother if she played GTA online.

When you plant a car bomb, do you use a fancy sports car or just a beater parked in front of the door?

I don't even bother with the mid town one unless I want to harass pubbies/get killed over and over again while I try to escape from pubbies. The canal LSC has a ton of exits and cover, and you can get to it fast from the other side of the river.

Edit also were they going to make it so cargo bobs spawn again above level whatever? I want to hide cars on roofs and drop fuel tanks on people but I don't want to start over for it

He gets points for being polite at least.

The past couple days I've been posting up at people's personal cars and taking cover while getting the police to shoot at me. Anywhere a helicopter spawns and the insurance company building are the best places. Bonus if the leave the car so you can drive it - that way, they take notice of their car being on the move and they come to investigate.

Best way to wreck someone's car without the BS warning. I got the police to destroy someone's car yesterday with no warning.

If I want to get a tank in my garage should I just buy one of the easy ones like Weazel Plaza? I've been trying mine (Richards Majestic) with no luck.

I'm glad my father waited till I went to bed to play GTA III, or when I was older let me watch but explained to me why crime was bad. Thinking about it he did a pretty good job explaining the horrors of that game to me without scaring me or censoring me into blindness.

I recall him explaining to me 8-Ball's name and its meaning and then him talking about dead comedians.

It's buried away in your pause menu somewhere. I don't know if it removes them from the social club but it seems to remove them locally so you can take more pictures.

Oh you mean like the tomahawk and the explosive rifle in RDR? Since those were multiplayer and singleplayer DLC's that just added items and nothing else to single player. This is what the upcomming beach bum pack will undoubtedly be. :(
