My favorite store griefing is still aggroing the gun shop clerk. Best is just riding your bicycle through the front door.

When you're in the barber shop interacting with its "store", you and the hairstylist are god-moded, so I like to go get a haircut if I see a war zone in the city. Some people will waste thousands in explosives trying to kill me and get very mad about it. It's sort of reverse-griefing.

You can use the batmobile boost as a car launcher on ramps.

You can get a mini drat near into the middle of the airport from the ramps in the parking lot. It's incredibly powerful.

The boost also refills so quickly that even supercars feel slow now.

Nah, I've done it with the thermal scope on the heavy sniper. It even shot through a wall not 5 yards in front of me to hit a dude on his yacht doing defense. It's not 100% though, it's fairly spotty.

Vehicle boost doesn't launch other vehicles anymore but there are still godmode idiots with explosive bullets everywhere.

I bet 98 of those problems is that the game tops out at $300k an hour and all the good stuff is $3 million

The 99th is 22 frames per second.

I guess the boost launch still works, just doesn't work for everybody all the time. It's super fucky. I went nuts on a whole session this morning for nothing. Oops :shrug:

This works with any ramp in the game. One of the dudes doing it couldn't launch anybody, another one couldn't be launched, it's weird as all hell.

Yup! Can vouch for the one-shot... I had a buddy on the trailer for that sale. I left him at the drop to go kill a straggler, and when I returned he thought I was an enemy insurgent.

Months ago I thought my weaponized Tampa was lost. Yesterday I see a post to ensure no personal vehicle is out, then request a personal vehicle from the MOC menu.

Yay my Tampa is back :)

Nay it's made of paper and keeps blowing up if I look at it wrong :(

Nay it costs me $20k in insurance when it blows up why do I even have this :geno:

I don't understand why they had to do this for all the new vehicles. It makes me not want to drive mine out of fear I'll destroy it and it prevents me from shooting at other people's vehicles, so dumb.

The only thing keeping oppressors and armored vehicles even remotely balanced is that you can blow them up at will.

I can't imagine how much the game would suck if you had to pay $20k to destroy an oppressor that can be called in within a few seconds of being blown up repeatedly.

On non-PC platforms, you do have to pay

That suuuuuuuuuuuuucks.

My effort strategy for oppressors is to get in the MOC rig and goad them into attacking. A single oppressor doesn't carry enough missiles to destroy it, and if they gently caress up once you can run them over and keep running them over wherever they spawn. If they climb onto something just back towards them and shoot them.

Eventually they go passive and run and get a hydra, every drat time. Then a couple pops with the heavy sniper rifle and you get called a hacker and they leave.

My non effort is just blow them up with the batmobile until they call me a hacker and leave. the missiles in the batmobile are so good you can just launch yourself off whatever and start flipping, and as soon as your seeing reticle disappears fire, and it usually gets them.

I think i found the ultimate dick move:


During that source mission all the other exits are blocked, and the building is almost like a maze so it's easy to get lost in it.

Other dumb stuff

Stuck as all hell:


How the gently caress does it find these bodies of water to destroy $20k in?

if you point the window at them. If you back up to them, you can still poink them in the head with the heavy revolver and they can't do poo poo but die a lot while throwing thousnds of dollars in ammo at you, or blow themselves up a bunch trying to kill you with rockets.

It's fast, too, so you can usually run over their oppressor right after they respawn it.

The cyclone is pretty much 100% Rimac concept one. I doubt tesla would want anything to do with their competitor's product.
