jeromenm Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 (edited) Just need some confirmation on this. I ran over him at the store without knowing it was him. Does anybody know if he can respawn at the same spot? Thanks! Edit: Sincerely sorry if I spoiled anything for anybody.

LeAristocrat Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Yes, that random event respawns even though some of them don't. I don't know if that one has a particular "time of day" requirement but put a point of interest tag there and keep checking back every once in a while it should pop up agian.

BebopBang Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Unfortunately, no. I accidently killed him earlier in the game as well, and I've tried to find a way to get the event to respawn. I've spent several hours with all three characters using various methods recommended by people on the web. Nothing has worked. I may give it another run or two (overall I've spent about 9 hours trying on different sittings, I'm pretty patient), but it's looking to be a lost cause.

Cutter De Blanc Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 That was the first random encounter I got. It all happened so fast I didn't know what was going on but I killed everyone there and made 5k. I've never gotten that particular one again.

CiviX Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 He's one the the 2 robbers that you need to help getaway from the cops. They forgot their car I fudged up on my 1st go when i just had the game. I came across them last week. So YES they do respawn, Seeing i left them for dead and made a run for it myself when my car went full frontal on a lamppost 1st time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Markitaylor Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 He doesnt respawn, Does michael respawn when he is killed off in the final mission?? i dont think so Number 1 : you're wrong he does respawn for some Number 2 ; you're wrong about Michael as you don't have to kill him Number 3 : if you're going to give away the ending to the game USE FLAMING SPOILER TAGS!

NickStone Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 I killed him, but it wasn't on accident. Wasn't sure if he'd respawn so I saved on a new slot (something everyone should do to avoid things like this). Not sure how much of this is necessary but I killed him with Michael, and went back as Franklin, only because his safehouse was the only one I could enter at that time without triggering a mission. I went back to the location (turn east out of Frankie's driveway, next block down) at 1am, and he was there. I killed Packie the first time because I had picked up a car I'd never seen before -- an "Unmarked Cruiser". (Hundreds of gameplay hours, never seen that car), and I was in that when Packie appeared. Seems he didn't know I was a friendly and he and his friend took off running, so I figured I might as well see how much cash he'd drop. Some random encounters don't reappear if you kill the person instead of carrying out the intended task. It's because the game accepts the person's death as a viable outcome to the mission, even though you were really suppose to drop them off or something. You have 15 save slots, allowing you to save on a new slot after every 5 or so missions. Doing so allows you to transport yourself back to an earlier place in the game when you suddenly realize you messed something up 4 missions ago. Overall the game isn't that difficult, so replaying missions isn't a big deal, especially if you know you're gonna play through the game over and over anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overall the game isn't that difficult, so replaying missions isn't a big deal, especially if you know you're gonna play through the game over and over anyway Your exactly right about that last part, but the reason I think he respawned for you is because you were driving a police vehicle and it scared him away most likely voiding the event. Or at least if you kill him and take the money, and the game decides to register the event as completed then he won't respawn, because that is an acceptable outcome to complete the event. So you might get lucky and it will respawn, because for what ever reason the game didn't consider it completed, but if you get that little auto save circle in the bottom right corner after you kill him(assuming you have it on) then he isn't coming back.

Butterfly57 Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 If you kill him, then it won't respawn - this random mission is one of the ones you can choose what to do - either help Packie and his friend by acting as getaway driver, or help the storekeeper by killing Packie and his friend by however means. Since you killed him, the event is done. If you fail in either scenario it will respawn - the first time I came across it, I stumbled upon it and got myself shot for my troubles. But, it respawned, as I had neither helped either side, I just got in the road somehow! I also failed miserably the first few times I tried to help Packie, I was useless at escaping the cops at that point. Bt it respawned again until I managed it.
