I don't play PS4 but here's a Reddit suggestion: Host should clear cache before doing the heist. Host should be on sub team, and Player 2 should fly the Avenger.

When host has boarded the Avenger, deposit cash picked up from bodies through the MazeBank cellphone app. If you didn't get any cash, make a withdrawl through the cellphone app, and then deposit it again. Pull internet cable after orange Saving icon disappears as normal.

Since PS4/Xbox still have Bad Sport lobbies, I'd recommend having Player 2 "Commend" the host early on in each run, through the Pause->Player menu.

awesome, thanks!

Is there a risk of getting bad sport for killing the game repeatedly after running the Bogdan Problem a few times?

in addition to the 'commend' suggestion, I've heard that clearing the cache between runs can help prevent detection

Satisfaction. And I think a small amount of cash.

Mostly just spite though.

its a bit of a challenge to actually steal them and deliver/store them. Destroying is just because they can.

fuckers on troll bikes are almost universally poo poo at using them. they can only lock onto a vehicle, if one is on you jump out of the car. your auto aim still works and now theirs doesn't. they can still rocket spam you but itll buy you time to send some poo poo their way.

if u have explosive rounds then perfect. an unguided rpg will work better than a guided rpg against them too. they'll 99% line up for a strafing run on you and u can blow their fuckin brains out, followed by their big dumb bikes.

It’s me, I’m the one who still checks out the Simeon list and finds the most expensive one to respray with charcoal classic paint and return in a full lobby :)

I’ve had a lot of luck fighting oppressor mk 2’s in insurgents and nightsharks lately by tossing out sticky bombs and blowing them up a second later while hauling rear end. People seem to love to tailgate after the 10th rocket lol. I forgot how big the blast radius in those things is.

The Insurgent is still the vehicle I pull the most in general. I'm usually playing with someone else so I have a gunner and usually that means Oppressors aren't a problem. They take so long to blow up an Insurgent that you have plenty of time to just shoot them.

Also funny is the MOC, especially if you have a couple of gunners. It takes them basically every rocket they have to blow up the trailer and it's really funny (if a bit difficult) to plunk an oppressor dipshit in the face with the mounted grenade launcher as they fly low and slow enough to hit a tractor trailer.

The best way to deal with them has already been mentioned: simply exit your vehicle and shoot them. Once they can't lock onto you they usually don't know what to do.

I used to hang out on the mid-level of the under-costruction skyscraper sniping people. I was pretty easy to avoid if someone didn't want to get shot, but some people kept coming back and some of them got screaming mad. I could see both city helipads and pop people trying to get their Hydras. The rage in chat, both text and voice, was the point.

But eventually it got to the point where I'd estimate 20%-25% of PC GTAO players had mod menus, and simple griefing became untenable as they'd all just turn on god mode, and eventually they gained the ability to crash other people's games. And then Rockstar took two of the things modders used mod menus to do- explosive ammo and flying rocket cars with missile spam- and monetized them for legit players. Now the arcade has a drone with unlimited range and the type of griefing I used to do 3-4 years ago is simply impossible.

my buddy oddhair reminded me that shooting flares out the window of your vehicle is a great way to get oppressors to dump all their missiles, too

I used to pull it in to LSC to respray it, and while there before I drove out I would check the map to see if someone was camping at the the LSC to put a cap in me during the animation to pull out. If they were I would put an ignition bomb in it. I couldn't stop them from killing me but I could sure piss them off over it. :v:

It's funny how this game works.
You sit down to play with one idea in your head, like, "tonight I'm going to sell off those Top range cars sitting in my warehouse".
Then a fucker on an Oppressor destroys the first car you try to turn in and you spend the rest of the night hunting him down until he rage quits.

Depends what age, I'm more familiar with them as like the early 2000's hatchback model which looks basically like a ford focus.

In fact that's kind of a general problem with the civic is that whatever form it's in, it looks like everything else. Which means the GTA approach of knocking off several designs would make it really hard to spot.

Or you just go for the regular Blista which is a Civic/Golf hybrid. Notably not for sale, but if you hijack one off the street and buy insurance on it it's as good as bought.

It's been a little while. The outer bits are from the "Fitted Suit" Pants and Jackets sections.

I can't tell you exactly how to get a tie to properly work with it because the combinations are basically magic and eventually you might get it to function as intended with the jacket/shirt/tie combination

only once did i successfully get a vest to work in the mix and it's never worked again
