We did it little buddy...
My friends and I prefer to grab the chopper on top of the police station and use that rather than taking the tunnel escape. There is a small alley type thing you can drive right into behind the station, about an 8 second drive from the casino. We escape using the employee entrance run down the race track to your right toward the exit, run down the dirt ramp leading towards the casino. Hop the fence there and you are right on the road. Either grab a passing car, or to your left down the road a bit is a set of stores that always has a 4 door vehicle.

Drive into the short alley behind the station and jump up on the wall to the left, run forward and jump that wall, then run forward a bit until you can jump up the wall to your right, leaving you on a grassy incline. Run up the incline and climb onto the roof of the police station. Climb a couple of air ducts and you are on the helipad. I have had a chopper not spawn there only one time out of dozens and dozens of runs. Everyone hops in the chopper and heads north, your wanted stars get lost really quick during the trip, and it is a cinch to make it to the drop-off with time left over for the Elite Challenge.

This sounds more complicated than it is, but this video (not mine) shows exactly where to go and what to climb for an easy escape.

Yeah, helicopter is nice for speed and if you're aware you won't take too many bullets going that route. I've only done that option once where there wasn't a helicopter on the pad. For my heist group it's mainly a matter of how much effort we want to put in.

I don't want to speak for Pseudo but I usually leave out stuff like that in things I write because it's fiddly and makes the heist harder than it has to be for limited benefit.

Oh sure, I'm not advocating the snacking, just used it to illustrate that the gas is just a moderate dot. The stealth approaches train you to never run over time and Lester's voice over makes it seem like instant death. I've done aggressive with lots of people that didn't realize you could be a few seconds late and be just fine

Super: Krieger, Emerus, Vagner

Sports: Jugular, Toreador (this is weaponized but it's still a sports car sort of and it goes underwater!)

Offroad: Vagrant

Weaponized: Nightshark, Oppressor Mk1 & Mk2, Toreador, Scramjet

Perhaps consider buying your own LAZER and customizing it instead of stealing one from Zancudo every time

Haven't seen much chat on this but it's coming pretty quick here.
First part is new round of Cunning Stunt race series, 8 new tracks, due in just a few days on May 27
Next is some new Deadline (tron bikes) material
After that is new Survivals
Figure 1-2 off weeks between each of these. Sometime before, during, or after this, the other new content should drop. Seems a lot like last years summer dlc with cars and modes and quality of life things but maybe not a new property... Tuner things finally? New rival for Benny? pvp-free car meet area? new stolen vehicles could be Simeon or Import/Export or some other thing entirely. Business battles for vehicles maybe? Street racing? Multi-part robbery missions sound like mini-heists

quote:

In Los Santos, car culture is back on the streets in a big way, with new opportunities for fans of performance and customization upgrades to get together with like-minded gearheads to test and show off their rides free from interference from authorities and other troublemakers. The renewed interest is bringing a new underground car meet into the area, along with new additions to the local racing scene — and demand for stolen vehicles has never been higher.

Expect high stakes and high action as crews hit the streets to get hold of the latest vehicles on the hot list, challenge each other in new race types, or take part in a series of multi-part robbery missions, where a precisely modified getaway vehicle will be your best weapon — all later this summer.

Of course then this all follows up with some info on the standalone online release, and gives November 11 as the data for Enhanced & Expanded version on new gen consoles. Also teasing some GTA III themed content and specials for online - probably be stupid shirts but still a cool nod

Speaking of this, any PSN goons feel like teaming up? I just started the PS4 version (RIP me) and the folks in the Discord said I might drum up some interest here. It's super lonely playing in a solo lobby.

Seriously you goons have helped me a lot this past year when i was suffering from Covid and I want to jump back into GTAO. Give me a few more weeks to get used to this new job and I will make it a habit to log in and help as much as I can.

Also, I have preordered a PS5 so I might be able to help there as well.

Pretty sure that was the intention with the casino garage - it has 32 parking spaces to accomodate a full lobby, and its off the map so its a no weapon zone- but it has enough flaws that yeah nobody ever used it for that. You can sit in your car, or stand next to it, but you cant get in others, cant stand on top, open doors, start engines, show off lights/neons, bounce cars with hydraulics, no wheelies, etc. Plus the lighting is dark and drab

In my opinion if that no weapon zone was extended over the casino side parking lot(and also to the terrace on the roof), it would make a great hub zone for hanging out to do stupid car meets. Or even something like opening up the arena for "free roam"

Probably but anytime I see a sparrow I blow it out of the sky with explosive sniper rounds on principle so I usually don't use my own for that

Using explosive sniper rounds to down a sparrow? Sparrows explode from harsh language and stiff winds. Seems like overkill, but more explosions are more better.

It takes 2-3 shots and they're hitscan. You can use missiles or whatever but I like to use things that people can't evade. Partly because people get way more upset that way

It advances my own Cayo Perico Heists and denies it to whoever I steal it from but doesn't require me to do the legwork of going to the different buildings and shooting the random NPCs

The Unmarked Weapons setups seem to be fairly consistently bugged, though, in that the game won't let you steal them even if you're eligible to.
