Hacking is more or less universal in Free Play. Even if you don't have a hacker in your session you're going to be harassed by a fleet of flying Deluxos and Akulas all bought with hacker cash drops.

Jobs hackers are, in my experience, pretty few and far between though and even then they're usually just obnoxious (spawning in random obstacles) rather than outright cheating like in your example.

Good to know. Someone else spawned a hundred train cars into downtown and that was pretty funny.

the solution to modders: buy your own access to the good mod menu (there's basically one that all the hackers use and it's a little over :20bux: for lifetime access), when you see someone being an unbelievable hellfucker turn on all the menu's protections against fuckery and teleport them to the middle of buttfuck and trap them in a cargo container

TBH if rockstars monetization scheme wasn’t so awful I imagine the hacker population would decrease. If there were a relatively shithead free way to make money in the game that made that money at a reasonable clip people would do that. But when I have to netsplit my own sessions to avoid akulas to deliver cars? Meh.

Two nights ago a guy I finished a mission with immediately killed me once it was over, but forgot to take any money off my body.

As he was driving away, I shot a homing missile from the hill I respawned on and blew up his car as he was driving down the highway. He left the game right then and there.

Which one is this because two nights ago I was helping someone do the Deluxo setup and it was a three man mission, so we had to go all the way back for the last one but friend that setup the mission just bought the Paleto Bay Facility (uuuuugh) so just getting the first three Deluxos and taking them back took a decade. We got the last one, sprayed it and just to have it blown up by some rear end in a top hat with godmode who just spawned in whatever vehicle he wanted to use to terrorize us the remainder of the game. We just gave up after that and quit playing, I've never had the steam blown out of my sails so quickly in a game.

Any tips for flying the oppressor without crashing it and winding up in another zip code with broken legs? I've spray-painted so many walls with blood they think Banksy's in town. I came in for what I thought was a perfect two-point landing and the bike shot out from under me so far I was able to call in another personal vehicle.

I'm also terrible at the hover mode with the Deluxo, it's like driving a goddamn hockey puck. Do you just not use it unless you are going to offroad in it screaming like you are on the Dukes of Hazzard?

I had to chill out in my Coil Voltic after all that and cruise around in my silent car listening to 80's deep cuts.

One trick for landing the Oppressor is to retract the wings just before you hit the road so you don’t end up bouncing. In all honesty I only ever use hover mode for extended periods of time when I am over water because I think it is quicker, but other than that either fly or drive normally.

I've never really had issues driving anything in the game, but honestly you just need to slow down sometimes. You won't fly off the road if you hit the brakes (then release the brakes so you don't lock up your steering) before reaching a corner. I've won or got second place on races by just slowing down and letting my opposition smash into walls.

Ya, pick a good spot, land as flat and you can, retract the wings and use both brakes. When you get the limitations down you can get pretty swiggity

Don't land. Just figure out which roofs/walls you can touch both tires to to reset your boost.

IF you really have to stop some where, get low, then pull back hard and stall out and land flat with the wings out, if you're low enough you won't even fall off. if you do fall off you'll still be right on top of your bike

Unless it's a cleverly-timed nod to the Rolex 24, what update is coming out? It seems like every time they do this, it's to allow players to rapidly build cash to rapidly spend a few days later.
