Basically, hackers made hundereds of modded accounts before the platform transfers were stopped. They get a little more expensive every month as there are fewer of them as time goes on. Rank 250 w/ 500m and all unlocks is going for about $250 for PS4 and $125 for Xbox. On PC that would be about $50.

That's kind of impressive thinking ahead to stockpile those before the transfers shut down.

So what are you actually buying, a PSN account connected to a GTA save that has all those goodies?

Anyway, is a MOC worth buying if you mostly play solo? Are the Mark II weapons that good? I should make it have the command center and weapons workshop, right? I have like 2.3 million and already own a vehicle warehouse, cargo warehouse, gun bunker, and motorcycle club. I'm thinking on waiting out the doomsday bunker and straight up passing on the hangar.

1. Yes
2. Mark II weapons are the only way to use specialized ammunition, and they own
3. it's the only way to modify gunrunning vehicles like the oppressor, I believe.

The hangar is nice because you can take any aircraft you've purchased in there and have it added to your personal vehicle collection. You can then spawn in one using the interaction menu like you would your personal vehicle. You can change their color and mod some of them to add weapons and stuff.

The hangar missions are fun, but definitely require multiple people to get through quicker and sell with any bonuses. It's good to keep a stash around for when 2x hangar sales pop up. It also gives you wanted-free access to the airport you have it at. I got the cheapest Zancudo one when it was on sale.

Why do you have both hands on the keyboard? WASD + Ctrl & Shift are all you need to steer it. Your other hand is for mouse aiming the Mk II Revolver with JHP's out the window at people.

You're correct that left control and shift function as pitch, but the car doesn't let you shoot your hand guns from the seat; you're stuck with the vehicle guns only. Further, like I said, right-mouse is the vehicle fire button, not any sort of aim. I still fly aircraft with my keyboard, and using number pad works best for me, so would like any other button other than right-click to shoot.

Am I a piece of poo poo for actively enjoying sabotaging organisations in pubbie servers? Like the other day I saw a cargobob with a couple of guys in it taking off, sped past it and sticky bombed it, then waited till they were just high enough they thought they were home dry before taking the whole thing down. Got yelled at for that and they spent a while hunting me down but still a hilarious experience.

Trolling idiots is just my favourite thing in this game. Personal favourite is just picking one person and relentlessly chasing them down/sending mercs at them.

Between the akula and oppressor, I've never been happier with GTA Online. Wrecking servers is such joy.

There are also a lot more hacker-free servers on PC than the internet wants to make you think there are. More likely goons see one on one server then cry.

Anecdotally I couldn't find a session with more than 10 people and no one being a hacking fuckhead for like two weeks up to the launch of Doomsday.

It's much better now but I'd wager the mod menus haven't had time to disseminate.

All it takes is for it to happen once to basically sour a whole play session

I don't get it, is there something wrong about what I said? Or do I need to document every time I'm trucking along and get teleported to someone's apartment with all of my guns stripped away, have explosions spammed on my character, or gigantic obstructing phys-objects spawned everywhere? Is there a threshold of recurrence before someone is allowed to complain about it?

It's not at all rare occurrence and it's certainly not "crying" to state that it:

1) happens
2) will happen to you
3) will happen to you quite often if you play in large public lobbies on PC

It's better right now, but late November/Early December was miserable. Maybe you're getting lucky and not running into it.

I'm just trying to make 40k selling this weak rear end standard range car, all you're going to do by blowing me up before I can make it 3 blocks from my warehouse is make me turn off the game and go back to playing Overwatch. :mad:



Seriously though, I literally can't do anything involving organizations unless I fiddle with my connection to get a solo session. It'd be one thing if people had to chase me down in a car and I could at least try out-driving them, but when a missile just streaks down from the sky with no warning and there's nothing I can do about it then why am I even playing at that point?

I love selling in a crowded session. I pay the 12K for ghost, can usually get it to the destination in time. And there's nothing better than driving past clueless players in a murdered-out hypercar, and watching their futile attempts to chase me :allears:

if it's really annoying you, you can use Session Sweeper to dump everyone from the session, then not lock it. people will slowly trickle in and sometimes it stays around 5-7 people and usually they stick to their own business. Just don't do it when you're in an I/E vehicle.

If the crazy Aimbot AI didn't instantly spawn and do stuff like headshot me while I'm in the pilot seat of the cargobob, I'd do all my grinding for cash in a solo session.

e: I just re-read, and maybe you're already doing this. it's been much busier since Doomsday, and I've had more people working to gently caress with Special/Vehicle Cargo. Sometimes it's nice to find a Buzzard and go hunting for other people's crates, it can be a bit cathartic.

If you hop on discord you can probably find some goons to help you out also.

In a solo session, I either have the cargobob outside already or leave the car parked by the warehouse while I retrieve one. The npc's don't spawn until you're a few blocks away in the i/e car. So I hook it up to the cargobob and ascend about one altitude meter bar before heading to the destination. So the key is, as it is to so many things, to stay high :rznv:

What? Why? No!

Literally never sell anything except top range cars, ever. Get your car storage to 32 cars then you can sell a top range every time and it will source you a top range every time.

If you hosed this up and have duplicate cars then just sell the duplicates so you have no 2 cars of the same model then get yourself back up to 32 cars and go from there. It will never source you as duplicate car as long as you have less than 32 cars and no duplicates in your garage.

Assuming you can drive at all you will almost always make 75k+ after damages, every single sale.
