I genuinely like some of the art that they made for this, mainly the pop art and self referential things.

Sale question, are the weaponized Tampa or stromberg worth it?

For me? Tampa? No.

Stromberg? Arguably yes.

I'm probably going to pick up a Stromberg next. It can take a few explosions, has decent missiles, looks good and can drive underwater.

Tampa is annoyingly fragile, but looks cool. Basically the only thing that makes it different from the arena cars is the driver controlled turret.

Stromberg is a submarine car. So if you want to sate your inner child's James Bond fantasies its worth it.

The Tampa, not really as it’s not resistant to explosions. The Stromberg is ok as it takes a few rockets to destroy but it’s water going ability is kind of wasted, though it’s ok for escaping tryhards if you’re near deep water.

I like the Tampa because it's Roadkill from Twisted Metal. Fun on missions, but to get all the cool stuff you need to research them in the gun lab. It's pointless in free roam since it can't take missiles.

the tampa can be selected in a few missions which otherwise lock out most armed vehicles so it makes them extremely easy, but that isn't the world's biggest plus.

those guns are very good at chewing up AI enemies, though.

Pretty sure you can take the Tampa on every job and heist and it's great for that and only that

Tampa is cool for missions and PvE stuff since they're not lobbing rpg's and missiles at you. The driver controlled turret is a very big plus since there just aren't many that have that for solo play. As soon as you introduce opressors and other players though, it only takes 1 to waste it. If PvP is your thing, then its not really a viable choice. A better option in that case might be to upgrade the Speedo Custom its got the same gun plus it'll tank a few hits

Anyone locked out of gambling? I think someone or something got mad at me for macro-ing horse races for hours on end. No gambling games work, though I can still spin the wheel and buy chips. When I approach a table/machine it says something like "this is not available right now, please try again later." I have no idea if/when functionality will be restored.

No, but I'm apparently locked out of buying clothes. The browse prompt never appears.

My favorite thing about the casino missions is Rockstar just keeps the mission rewards hilariously low. Hmm shall I go do a Terrorbyte mission where I get 30k for 3 minutes of work, or a casino mission for 10k...

Is anyone from here still playing on Xbox One? I’m finding it basically impossible to host a casino story mission, especially with 4 players which seems like it’s needed for the mission where you’re fighting on the casino rooftop.

Don’t think of the Casino missions as moneymakers you’ll do over and over. They’re more of a limited story arc with the one time big reward car that puts some story telling into online

Definitely doable with 2 just need to take your time and clear area by area. Rambo tactics are not your friend. Same w the final. Clear what you can quietly but when the alarm raises be ready with a kuruma or insurgent to finish the bulk, plus the insurgent will be a little helpful chasing the choppers

I've been betting on lane 4 or 5, it seems totally random, but the longer odds mean when you do hit it's a nice payout

Me and another guy did it by standing between two of the stables, just picking the enemies off as they funneled into the view, and occasionally peeking out to take down the choppers. And there's a whatdoyoucallit, truck with a gun, parked there for the end chase.

the old method with holding A and scrolling down on gamepad was patched, last night on PC with mouse I was able to do it by clicking and holding on increase bet then move the mouse down to placebet, holding Lclick down for the whole race.

e: still works on pc

Stromberg is underrated imo. It's really durable and the missiles lock on instantly, making it really good for tooling around in freeroam and being able to fight back vs oppressors. Drives well and looks good, too!

Terrorbyte is good for getting your own mk2, but that's a few million more.

Terrorbyte is also easy money, the missions are insanely quick and give you 30k, so if you get it you'll make your money back eventually. Stromberg is super fun though.

Of course you also need a nightclub for the Terrorbyte

I found out I hadn't done the Maude bounties/stone hatchet challenge (250k) and enabled 2-factor authentication for the social club (500k) yet, so now I own both the Terrorbyte and Stromberg :cool:
