Can anyone suggest a way to safely play in a public lobby on pc without the risk of getting attacked by a modder?

- solo public lobbies

- playing with open resource monitor, suspend gtav.exe for 7-10sec in case of modders

- friendly crew lobbies where everyone just grinds

If you want to enter LSC quickly without having to go through that boring entrance animation, simply drive in there, quickly press pause, exit the pause menu, and then click right on the D-Pad.

It's important to add that none of these methods are 100% safe from modders, but these are the best options available.

The Escalade is called Cavalcade, and you can put insurance on cars that costs less than 100k.

If you're trying to hold up a convenience store, but don't have or don't want to use a mic to tell the cashier to empty the register faster, shoot the empty space behind the counter next to him repeatedly (it's probably safest to do with a pistol, otherwise you might kill him accidentally). The noise will have the same effect as yelling at him would.

Just learned I can source vehicles via MOC so no more running back and forth to the office!

 You can do it from Terrorbyte also.

I need to correct something here.

You can replay the same mission over and over again.

 

All you do is this.

Hit online.

Jobs

Play Job

RockStar Created

then scroll to the job you want.

 

Of course once the mission is over you'll have to exit the selection screen and do it again but, you can replay the same mission.

Simply reinvite your friends and turn off match making to keep others out.

 You can also make a single mission playlist . Then hit restart at the end of mission to save loading screen time.

Dang. Thanks. Didn’t know.

If you get the four bike sales that require you to park them all in the back of small trucks then its worth a few seconds at the start to jump on each bike and see which is the furtherst/closest destinations.

Do the closets ones first and leave the absolute longest until last.

Obviously when the sale ends the timer ends so on the last run you don't have to return to your mc business. Choosing the longest sale to do last means that the time you would have wasted returning across the entire map is negated.

 

Also, if the bikes are going to the same location, its a sting.

Some helpful advice for the next batch of poor souls who wander into GTA Online:

 

If you see a player running towards you with a red dot, just go into passive mode.

Get an Oppressor MKII with Homing Missiles and Khanjali tank ASAP.

If you find yourself getting nuked from orbit, it's not hacking.

If you join the Deliver EMP setup for Humane Labs without a mic and the mission keeps failing, it's probably YOU. Related: you don't know jack, the guys who are rank 200+ do. Stop running in and failing it for the rest of us, you little bastard.

Don't spam invites to MCs or CEOs or jobs. If I or anyone else wants to join, we will the first time.

Do NOT blast your sh*tty Spotify playlist through your mic. It's obnoxious and the rest of us will harass you into never playing another video game again. Invest in a good headset with a secondary 3.5MM input.

If you hear the magical beeping sound, you're grade-Z f*cked.

Tryhards will call passive mode "pussy mode". Ask them if they've ever been anywhere near a vagina that wasn't their mothers. Google the joke, I'm not explaining it.

Also regarding tryhards, don't be one. Nobody likes a tryhard.

The K/D ratio in this game is nothing but wholesale crap-a-cola. When you got the cash, rank, threads, rides, and property, then you come talk to me. If all you have is your K/D ratio, you ain't squat. Go back to Call of Duty, punk.

Anyone who has never bought a shark card probably has a hacked account from PS3. Tell them to screw off, nobody's making them buy shark cards.

Always pay attention to the Newswire.

Don't act like a gangster when you're not. And don't have a crew tag like "CRIP", "GANG", "WEED", etc. It makes you look like a poser.

If your religion goes against swearing, then why the f*ck are you playing GTA? (There's a story to this one. Ask me about it, it's half-decent and kinda funny.)

Don't talk yourself up as a real-life billionaire. We're not retarded. Okay, SOME of us are retarded, but not all of us.

If you're a child, shut your mic off. Your voices make the rest of us target you. ESPECIALLY white kids yelling racial and homophobic slurs.

Don't threaten to hack people when you can't actually do it. Threaten to pay some hacker on the dark web $50 to fry their console. That one has some merit.

Reporting someone for being annoying in voice chat is a valid reason.

Don't ask other players for in-game money, it doesn't work like that. No, literally.

 

Above all else, don't be a f*ckin' dick. If someone tells you to stop doing something, stop doing that thing. You don't know who's on the other end. You could wake up with some unhinged monster slamming a tire iron into your face. That's not even me, that's just good advice. Don't be a dick and you won't have some nutbar hunting you down in real life. Besides, I quite enjoy not being in prison.

I love this new option --> "Players can now return Personal Vehicles to storage via an option within the Interaction Menu":

Here is a little tip for the Diamond Casino & Resort Heist:

If you're on a hurry... DON'T  Open the security boxes...because it takes you 10 seconds per box, if you have plenty of time you can open them...but you MUST  Have the electric drill

About selling, the wiki says the Ubermacht Sentinel sells for $9500, was it changed for the Oracle?

 

Thanks.

I can honestly say this is probably the best thing I will read today.

I'm very interested in the story relating to swearing while playing GTA. 

I personally have little respect for the kids who say they 'work for R*' or 'My dad works for R*' - I mean whos dad DOESN'T work for R*?

A good trick to conter avanger griefer. If he is in autopilot fly up with a mk2 and land on it, walk to the nose of the avanger. Shoot the windows and wait, most of the time they will think u are under them so they will get in the cockpit to reposition the avanger. And now u can shoot them with the mg or what ever (dont use any explosives)

If you dident know how to counter rooftopcampers here is how: buy any thermalvision can be the sniperscope or helmet. Walk or drive a bit away until u see a red dot if you still cant hit them move a bit further away. Then u can shoot them through the wall.

Those are some good tips to conter some annoying sh*t, have fun

Its a bit late but the mission pays pretty well out of 2x Event anyway. On PC(keyboard user) the Dock Handler is an absolute pain, here I show the simple manoeuver to grab the container directly with Cargobob(or Pegasus Jetsam I'm using). 

I will probably upload the entire video later if I can confirm there is a cool glitch related to using Akula, in this mission you get 2 wanted lvl(one for stealing the Cargobob and another for shooting Merryweather guys), potentially I found a way to bypass it completly, but I'm not sure yet what is causing the glitch and timing.

ty for the tips :D

[seren1ty]

Not sure if people know about this, probably.

 

When ranking up; instead of parking Terrorbyte between Warehouses or even worse, taking Luxury Chopper back to Maze Bank - get a High End Apartment and complete first Fleeca Job Setup and place Terrorbyte outside Apartment(just make sure to not block players please). After each sale of 1 crate, Lester will send an invite to apartment that you accept -> leave -> back into Terrorbyte -> Start next source from Warehouses 2. Make sure to return MK2 to Terrorbyte so you can just jump on it and boost yourself out of the Terrorbyte to go get next Crate.

 

This is only for RP, not Cash. Trust me, its much faster than any other placement of Terrorbyte. I am level 1000 and been using this all the time.

If you're character gets stuck walking in the fighting stance, you can fix it by doing your emote. There's some other ways to fix it but emote looks the fastest.

[Nerfgoth]

 

[awesomefoot]

If you use the Arcade as your spawn point, it's possible to get stuck in a void under the map. This happens when the screen goes black for a second, shortly after you start a session while you're walking on the stairs. (You get stuck under the stairs)

 

If your Arcade is full of cabinets, you can walk around the void and manage to interact with one. This will pull you out of the void. Otherwise you can join a Job through either the phone or pause menu.

Does anyone know how to activate stealth mode for the new jet plane F-160 Raiju on a PC keyboard?

Press "H" on the keyboard to activate stealth mode for F-160 Raiju on PC.  And press "H" again when you want to deactivate stealth mode.

There is a very simple method to mute phone contacts, not sure if its been mentioned here before or if someone finds it of interest but im gonna share it anyway.
 

Outside of game: Sound -> Playback -> Make sure that 'Speakers' is the only output source enabled -> Right click on Speakers -> Configure -> If you have 5.1 Surround here, not everyone does - select that under 'Audio Channels'

Now how I have it set up is I have Center, Side Pair selected and Subwoofer, Rear Pair not selected. Next and last page I have both Front left and right + Surround Speakers both selected.
 

Now in game you just switch to 'Surround Speakers' and try calling any phone contact and if you dont hear their voice it works.

You can switch back and forth like I do between Stereo Speakers and Surround Speakers in-game when you actually want/need to hear the contact.
 

The thing with this is obviously that Pavel/Lester wont be heard at all during preps and heists - If you play with sound on and find their distorted screaming annoying.

If I remember right you can aim out of the window or give the finger as you drive in an it cuts teh animation.

This one took me forever, but if you put your most used vehicles into the garage at the top of your phone list you can access them much quicker in a pinch.

Yes you will have one messy garage but it has helped me a ton in heavy situations.
