Hiding behind a dumpster for 20 minutes to get $20k :toot:

I hide behind dumpsters and get $20k plus the convenient bonus of not having to pay to buy a heavy sniper, combat MG, RPG, minigun, plus associated ammo. It works out. I will easily pull a profit in ammo alone, avoiding the weapon buy cost (one time only, at least) is nice too.

I've soloed one survival and done a group of 4 on two others. Once you figure the trick out (don't ever get cocky and go in the open) and it's pretty straightforward.

kinghammer99 (I am forgetting a word in there, sorry) and I were tormenting two kids last night. They had a meet-cute at LCS and tried to team up after that. They kept making plans over the open mic and we just followed them around killing them.

Just goes to show - one of them was a level 80ish and astoundingly bad at free roam. He was shocked we were shooting at him.

My favorite was the kid screaming, "WHO THE gently caress KEEPS KILLING ME!?!?!?" I am going to send you a friend invite on Xbox.

Also, to the member of GOON whose name was FishPond something or other, I wasn't planning to kill you at all. That is until you started hitting me with your night stick. I am not sure what was going on there.

But with cars being impounded I get release my in game pyromaniac and torch cars just sitting there. Then drive down to the Mors Mutual depot and torch the same car again. I did that route for about 2 hours last night, racked up about 12 cars. Best was saw a guy sitting outside of the Ammunation right by the Mors Mutual depot in his Adder. I poured gas all over it and back fire lit it right as his buddy came running out. Later saw the same Adder at the impound and proceeded to torch it, I received many angry texts after that.

BTW sorry to any goons on PS3 who have had their car lit on fire by a guy in a black entity, adder, or blue sultan RS.

I like to build a barrier using the cars at Mors. If it is locked to other players, I grab NPC cars and make a perimeter.

Then, I start a shoot out with the police and hunker down until they destroy the pubbie car, which is the one I am usually hiding directly behind.

Bonus points if they show up to collect the car, which they usually do if they notice another player lingering so long by their personal vehicle. Watching them try to fight through the police when I've got a 3 or 4 star wanted level is great.

These people are retarded. Why are they going to the insurance place? I don't even know where it is, every phone call right after Mors is to the mechanic to get the car delivered.

Eh, I know it's free, and it's more stuff, but really it's just more crappy stuff I can't seem to care about. Another pistol I wouldn't use, a melee weapon that no-one will ever get to use online, a bunch of jobs that sound exactly like the existing jobs that I'm already bored to tears of.

On the plus side, it means we are one step closer to the content creator/heists stuff. So there'a that.

If it's to their garage, I discovered you can seriously ruin someone's day by blocking the entrance to their garage with the riot van. I also learned that the riot van cannot outrun the tank.

Also, the AP Pistol takes 5 shots to explode someone's car? Got the first of hopefully many bad sport warnings for that.

Landing on it will also instantly explode your car. Learned that when I was driving some random pubby to go get us a couple Lazers. We didn't even have time to get the five-star wanted level when I took the jump into the base incorrectly and put all the weight on the rear end end of my Entity XF.

I just raced The Commute with 13 cars - I haven't had a race that crowded in awhile.

I AM SOOOOO GAY
As one of the first to present the idea of gassing cars and lighting them with backfire, I am pleased to announce a refinement:

You only need to dribble near the gas tank area with gas.

For most cars, this is on the rear driver's side door. You only need, maybe, 2 to 3 units of gas to get this going. After lighting the gas with backfire, the fire is neither big nor very noticeable. Most importantly, you might not even have to get on top of the car. This means more successful hit-and-runs at Ammu-nation or a clothing store.

Known exceptions to me are the Monroe, Sandking, Lazer, and other non-standard gas tank vehicles. These vehicles are done-in best with the current SOP at the engine.

I'm pretty sure there's a gas cap on the back fender for some vehicles or something, because I've blown up a few cars in half a clip, while they were coming out of someone's garage and totally unscathed.
