Cant you just use the remote vehicle controls to do that?

Yes, but they won’t work on the party bus, because it’s not a personal vehicle. It’s Pegasus.

So, like you can use those controls to open the rear door on your personal cargobob, but not the one you ordered from Pegasus.

Pretty sure that’s how it all works anyway

Is there a way to make the driver stop without a headshot? That's one of the few I/E missions I haven't found a better mousetrap for. I know its usually only a couple hundred bucks to fix the window, but I really like to see $0 when I deliver! I've been trying out some alternative methods for IE and crate missions

If you can find a way to make an NPC car stop in front of them, they will also stop and you can walk up and jack them, works at a stop light too.

Also, at least for me... it’s only mouse wheel UP that scrolls through weapons in a car. Mouse wheel DOWN scrolls through radio stations.

Its ‘X’ on an xbone to scroll through. Make sure you haven’t hidden the weapon you want in the weapons locker

Meh, don’t listen to people dumping on crates so much. I don’t do it anymore, but I amassed quite a fortune doing crates solo and had fun doing it. It became like playing solitaire or minesweeper, but not as addictive.

Powershift, are you sure the car’s gone?

I had that same message for a while when x80’s were on sale. Couldn’t sell any of mine, but now that it’s not on sale I can. The cars never went away though.

I assumed something like this would happen. R* gave us an easy money maker in nightclubs... they had to devise a way to soak up those funds. I’ve made over 80million from my nightclub even when I’ve played much less since they came out.

Still, you’re right, Get all of the nightclub businesses up and running or else, RIP

I have been dropped plenty of $ in the past, but I actually envy those with billions still. I’ve heard ballpark figures of like $258 million for everything right now. Buy it now prices and none of the drip feed and probably a ton of other assumptions I don’t care about. Sounds about right.

I have every Benny’s car and bike and this is a similar update in a lot of ways. Let me tell you, it’s easy to quickly go through a million $ just modding without paying attention.

Shouldn’t have bought all those properties on my second character when they went on sale recently lol

Eh, you could have done worse. It’ll come in handy when you’ve got the nightclub and a couple other businesses.

Before this DLC I was making ~700k / day or so by idling and only actually getting on to sell for the 10-20 minutes that it takes to do that

It's a bit more complicated than that. You have to win a new, special type of business battle called an event cargo. And then you have a chance of winning one of 6 rewards- 5 sweaters and the ray gun. On the plus side, you can do these in a friend session- just need 3 people. It works best with four people, so you can pair off and each take two bags per event cargo battle (they'll contain the same item). If you have 5+ people, though, you'll start getting the normal lovely freemode events instead.

We should all also get the ray gun free on either Christmas Eve or Day, too, if you don't get it early this way.

I think I remember somebody did the math when the update came out. It’s better to play, not spin unless you have to because you’re truly spectating. I should add that what I saw was an analysis of whether it was smarter to just kill yourself and play the wheel, or to participate... YMMV

The Vamos is a wheelstanding machine. Thing is hilarious, it will drag the rear bumper and hang the front wheels in the air as long as you keep the throttle pinned, right up until you run into something :lol:

Word this

I also can’t keep the thing going straight... it requires lots of tiny corrections to keep it on the road at speed. At least for me it seems that way. Points to an eventual drag racing DLC imo

I used to lower the suspension on every new car I bought as part of the standard “performance” mods I’d always do, like engine, spoiler, transmission, brakes, armor, etc.

But now I’ve stopped since around the nightclub DLC. Haven’t noticed much of a difference, but I’m not doing controlled experiments or anything.

Is there any guidance about this that I can read/watch? Aside from the usual getting stopped on curbs or tires glitching through fenders... is there any reason to go either way other than looks? Are cars with “advances handling flags” or whatever affected differently from those without? I’m only concerned with the suspension mod, the rest are always put on no matter what

I haven’t tried the shunt yet sounds like today’s fun. I’m still sticking with the most fun out of this new update is sitting motionless in your car and dropping five kinetic minds. Then after you pull away they activate and become a super mine

See, I haven’t done that! Will try it

FWIW, the Brutus van seems to be the best at throwing cars (and yourself) using shunt boost. It can be expensive fun though. If you’re not landing in water, you’re simply destroying your vehicle from getting beat up too much. It’s really tough on them, but soooooo much fun. Sometimes NPC cars insta-splode which is its own satisfaction.

I’ve made 123 million off of my warehouse and 15 million off just the nightclub. I only have the Speedo and the pounder... never needed the mule afaik.

It’s a ritual now that, after a sale, I call up my CEO Sanchez and ride it to the nearest airport or whatever, lol.

Just bought the slamvan (forget the upgraded name) arena car last night... seems to be a turd but kinda fun to drive. Pops wheelies for days. One thing annoys me though: the engine looks cool as hell because it’s mounted in reverse on the back of the truck... spinning belts and pillows and such. BUT, the heavy armor completely covers it up! What a waste :(

I only have one arena car remaining to buy: the impaler. I kinda want them all, so I’m sure I’ll buy it soon but I’m prepared to be disappointed. It doesn’t seem to have anything that makes it special or unique.

Now I’m little regret

But do you have all of them in each of the themes? Just f'ing LOL at R* for giving 12 vehicles, and only 11 garage spots on each floor. There goes the ability to have a Future garage, a Nightmare garage, and an Apocalypse garage!

Looks like Arena War has dropped off of the double $ and RP boards, so that'll never be heard from again

The Impaler isn't terribly exciting. I made a future one and removed all the weapons and armor, and it makes a decent entry in my 60s/70s muscle garage, along with the Vamos, Tulip, and a couple other of the big heavy cars. It's fast and wheelie-riffic. Some of the future cars have neat glowy bits, I think this one is an outline behind the grille and rear bumper? This one looks pretty customizable at LSC if you don't upgrade it, so if you need a lowered pseudo-Impala, you're in luck!

Hell no I don’t have all of them in all 3 themes lol

All of them are nightmare except for future shock z and apocalypse Cerberus

I’ve never had more fun in this dead game after the nightclub dlc than any other time... I make enough money that I’ve spent myself down to zero many times over and am currently at 40,000,000 without grinding at all. Yes I leave my computer running the game, no I haven’t noticed my electricity bill go up.
I’ll do nightclub sales when it seems like a good lobby, haven’t ever lost one.
If/when I log in, I’ll mess around, drive something cool since I own everything... do all of the challenges (up to 32 in the under the bridge challenge!) and just take in the scenery.
I’m still bad at pvp, so I pretty much avoid it unless I’m trying to help someone else... then my strategy is to die repeatedly to distract the aggressor.
I do love calling the mugger on people as much as possible with the cooldown. If you seem racist or a griefer, Lamar’s buddy will be on his way.
And although I’m sure I could do them, I still haven’t completed the original heists lol

TLDR get the nightclub and upgrades. I wouldn’t even bother getting weed and documents mc biz’s

Collect all of the 52 playing cards and get the “high roller” cocktail dress, from why I understand.

Man, I’ve done 3 of 6 of the casino missions so far. Do they get any easier? The last one had us shooting Texans out at the vineyard and protecting the Chinese guys. Took a bunch of tries with two people. Thx proxy goon, btw!

Also, I tried calling “Ms Baker” from my phone. She offers a ton of free services:
1) limo service (not fast travel though)
2) like 6 different cars you can request spawn next to you including a cog cabrio
3) Work to do that looked like simple free mode missions. The one I did involved intimidating a judge

All free

They really went all out on this DLC. Pretty awesome
