I'm pretty sure someone did a long while back, and it didn't work. I haven't had much luck with the sparks from flat tires or chopper blades, either.

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.
Seriously. The only thing I want from GTA Online are heists. They'll probably charge money for them too, the jerks. They'll give us a few free DLCs to justify charging us for the heists.

I got this one at Walmart for $23. Bluetooth, battery lasts like 5-6 hours. Good sound quality. Can't go wrong IMO.

Whoever said that rain does not effect the gas trail was wrong.

I had issues lighting up some guys Entity last night in the rain. My trail was disappearing almost instantly which was sad because he was the most annoying on mic person yet.

It's barely possible to light an engine block up unless there's gas on the ground near it. I even tried dousing one and then firing at it directly, but it wouldn't light. I've never had rain give me trouble, though. Were you lighting the correct end?

I was watching as the gas trail was disappearing from the hood seconds after I poured it. I even poured it around the car but when I tried to light it up, nothing would happen.

I can light up gas trails in the rain fine but the rain puts out the fire quicker.
However once the engine block gets a good burn it won't stop, better yet it actually just drags out how long it takes to explode so the pubbie can try to drive away with it on flames.

What's funny for me is that I was shooting at the driver's side window and saw the red X and notification that the pubbie died, then a couple extra shots and *boom*.

Somehow I keep getting lured back into Processed and Boneyard (both an easy 20k), but for some reason I lose $200 right when each starts - every time. $200 isn't much when sitting on several hundred thousand, but anyone know why that happens?

Have you done this lately? Because I haven't been able to pick up anything but explosives and armor in survival, for a week or two.

I'm on PSN, but I was able to keep weapons (advanced rifle, minigun) that I would not otherwise have and bring them into Freemode after clearing a Survival last night.

I think they may only stick with you during that specific Freemode session though.

The best use of gas trails I've seen is still some dude on one of the Top Fun maps not getting into a vehicle to run and instead hanging out as a pedestrian spelling and lighting SOS repeatedly so it was visible from the jets.

Better yet, just bring up your phone and start to go into a mission, and then just back out. Since the car is at Mors and not in your garage, it'll respawn right in front of you, no matter where you are.

Yeah, I was still able to pick up miniguns until I hit 120 a couple nights back, but now I'm basically unable to pick uyp any ammof rom survival. Makes it expensive as gently caress. :(

This counts stuff like the AK which I drop every time I have one..

It would be cool if they put something in the options menu to restrict your quick job joins, like types of missions (parachute, survival, whatever) for random job or specific maps for the various mission types.

Edit: If anyone in STRS or other 360 dudes want to party up for some racing/deathmatch/missions I'm probably going to be on for most of the day.

That's awful. Rockstar just seems hellbent on taking all the small fun things out of the game.

I'll pay closer attention and see if I can keep ammo from Survival. Either they nerfed it, or maybe it has something to do with your level? Either way, another terrible decision from them.

The same place as it is in the Cops capacity mission. West side of town, near a Japanese looking red structure at the intersection. There's a police station behind it.

Really don't like the impounding in online. Second you fire a shot you get a wanted level, and if you're shooting you're in a position to die, car gone :(

Sometimes you can dodge the impounding if you exit your personal vehicle and start driving another vehicle you steal when you know you're gonna die. Seems to often trick the game into trying the impound check against that random vehicle, and since it's not personal it doesn't bother to check your actual personal vehicle to impound it.

Sort of.

You can't sell are that are worth more than 50K without any mods, but if you mod a car past the 50k value then you are fine. I can sell my fully decked out Dominator for 105k but not my Monroe that has no mods.

It's a like, 20 second drive from the Weazel Apartments. There's a big parking structure nearby that's COVERED in parti colored flags right near it, and on the map it's next to one end of a street that kind of looks like links of chain.

The police station is on a pretty steep hill. Nobody cares if you hop into the riot van and steal it.



I wish I could describe it more, but when I drive there from my Apartment (Weazel) it's literally in my mind "leave garage, turn left and drive over highway, immediately turn right at park (asian-style archway and a half-pipe at the far end of the park), go a block or two, turn right onto the 45 degree street, go a couple blocks, I'm there."

So I have found from playing with Ghettobrook the Slam, Cj Coyo7e the Beast, and others that this game is fun if you know which missions are fun- anyone have a list of missions in the game that are actually fun to play? I want heists as much as the next guy, and loving around The Altruists was fun, but once money and RP are no longer a concern the reason to do missions are for Fun.

I have not yet to find out any data on the f-value of most missions, or in even less scientific terms the fun value on missions- which ones don't suck rear end. I also think we should try out some Team Death Matches- these can be neat.

Lastly it seems that Goon Street is not used by active players, Stairs INC is, and I have no issue with that. However I prefer the logo of Goon Street but understand if no one else does but think that Stairs INC needs to go full dark pink because it is much easier to see.

Anyone cool I play with will now be given a name like Kitsune the Inferno because Wu Tang's 20th anniversary has moved me in weird ways.

Thanks to whoever found the blowing up through the gas tank thing, it saves a lot of time just making a casual walk by the side of the car instead of dropping gasoline all over the engine.


Blew up a good 5 cars at Mors and 2 at the impound. Then found a glitched&insured Buzzard :getin:

Here's the firemen after they just doused out the burning Buzzard wreckage:




Whoever owned it had it respawn at Mors right after I blew it up. So it blew up again.




Also, the Weazel News van spawns next to Mors. Couldn't just drive it into my garage though, and didn't feel like glitching it in.
