I have spent FAR too many GTAbucks on vehicles I rarely drive. The 3rd level of my nightclub is full of the most obnoxiously colourful cars I own, include my favourite, a Custom Nero in Joker green-and-purple.

I fully intend blowing several

It's not that I hate it. It's that I loathe it.
Stuff I saw in my 30 min pokearound:

Membership for the new car meet is 50k, lets you use the facilities and start ranking up
All the new cars are between 1-2 mil, you can unlock trade prices by ranking up in the car meet
I saw an outfit that unlocks at car meet level 1000
Auto shop is 1.2-1.8mil, they're all in central/SE Los Santos. Haven't bought yet but that unlocks the new mission chain.
There's a prize car you can win by completing the club challenge. The challenge I have is to place 3rd or higher 3 days in a row. Dunno how often the car refreshes, guessing weekly like the casino wheel?
New collectible: USB sticks with DJ mixes on them. You can play them in car radios.

Biggest news of the update: in the vehicle section of the interaction menu, you can now hide radio stations from the radial menu

There's one big car meet where you can modify/test drive cars and start short public-lobby races.

Then there are garages which are businesses you can buy that have semi-passive income, and allow you to launch 8 mini-heists(3 available at a time)

i got a different set of ones, so i guess it's random?

i did the data one. 2 set-ups, one alright, one kinda lovely; and a finale that sucked rear end. and then a bastard got into the trailer and shot my guy anyway so i had to redo it and i think driving around and shooting for like 20 minutes straight gave me carpal tunnel. but it *was* doable solo

paid $150k so i'm only down like... 2 million on the auto shop :shepface:

i guess there's 3 different sets of weapons to choose before each "finale"

If you mean the one with the 4 hard drives, i just did it. No driving, just standing in the room with the dude icing anybody who tries to get in the door. Then grabbing one of the tampas to finish off the helicopters once all the on-foot dudes were dead.

Once upon a time I decided I was going to collect every storable special car that spawns in the game. So, all the gang cars, all the different types of unique VW busses that spawn on the beach, the two sports sedans that only spawn in one spot on Vinewood Blvd. around midnight, the gold and chrome Dubsta 2s, etc.

It's like 40 cars just for that. And I will never get rid of them. :colbert:

From what I can see the changes are very minimal, and they fixed a bug to get the gold bars solo. Now you can't get them at all solo, according to people doing it now. This changes basically nothing for us. Trading finales still works fine, apparently.

As a little bonus, it's actually easier to do duos and trade finales apparently. As long as you have both keycards and two players are in the session everyone can open a keycard door by themselves. So while one person is going the locks everyone else can go loot and fill bags without needing other players there to open the doors themselves.

In an odd choice, there's only one keycard reader now but it can be opened by a single player as long as both keycard have been picked up, and only if two players are on the job.

Just watched a few videos confirming it. The second card reader is physically gone from each door.

Nice, that will make things easier.


I just ran cayo perico solo, the only thing that seemed any different had to do with cameras. In the spot where we usually take out the first heavy, the camera overhead spotted me even though that area has a covered walkway and should be safe.

I also had a body spotted by a camera, which doesn't usually happen. These could be simple errors on my part but just to be safe I'll be a little more mindful of the cameras.


E: I'm very annoyed that the new media player and radio station favorites options are located in your inventory tab which means you now have 2 extra button presses to put on new armor

E2: I'm at the air field doing the scope out and i have my carbine rifle out. I can't bring up the weapon wheel to unequip it lol

If it is the first hallway on the right where the heavy is walking away from you, unless they moved the camera it shouldn't be bale to see you, the camera is actually mounted on the wall in the courtyard. Of course, they may have moved the camera. They may have also changed the range of the camera or something. My timing for killing that heavy is to deliberately wait until the heavy has walked out of the camera range then kill the guard and heavy right there.

Interesting. I can tell you my biggest issue getting spotted after the first few times I ran Cayo was when I killed someone that wasn't under a camera but a minute later the camera panned to the corpse. It's kind of hard to find where it happened, Sometimes I had to work backwards for several resets to figure it out.

I have heard elsewhere that something changed with the cameras though.

In a related note, for the casino jobs, not the heist, the camera range is wrong. I could consistently be spotted well out of the displayed range on the radar if the camera was facing me. It may be related.

I'm having trouble with the train contract. I can take out the copter easily with the heavy sniper, and I get that remote mines can take out the brakes, but they only give you 5 mines and there are 4 brakes. Is there a way to take the brakes out without mines in case you miss more than one? Unloading with the smg and the sniper don't seem to help and sing 2 the conductor won't stop the train.

On that note, the pursuit series of races is absolutely NOT for anyone with blood pressure problems!

EDIT:
Also, a lot of people are saying the Calico is the best tuner race car and I feel it's a trap. It has good acceleration and will win in straight line races, which none of the Street Races are at all. It's poo poo in corners. I'm having much, much better luck with the Dinka Jester RR which is far more stable. The stat bars show the Calico has a lot more traction, and that is absolute bullshit.
