GTA Online Tips and Tricks

You said all the clothing stores are the same. Ponsonbys has different things; you can buy accessories, etc. GREAT thread by the way!

If this has already been said just disregard, if you want a free nicely customized car then go to the police impound, sometimes other players have left there fully upgraded cars there, and you can sometimes steal them (depending on what they set there vehicle access to).

You can buy accessories at all the clothing stores. All 3 clothing stores carry the exact same things.

I'm not sure if anyone else has found this but me & a friend have found a way to sell cars at $64,000 every 48 minutes. I don't know if this works on Xbox as I play PS3 but if you get a Gallivanter Baller sport and mod it as much as you can after you have insured it, the selling value of the car goes up in mod shops. Now find a friend and start a co-op mission against the computer not other players. Take the your personal Baller for the mission and do everything as normal until you have to do the last objective in the mission. Now one person and only one person who doesn't own the Baller has to take it and drive as far away from the objective as they can so that they don't get the finishing animation of the mission but the everyone else just goes and finishes the mission as normal. Hopefully now once the mission has finished the person who drove away in the Baller should have a duplicate of the Baller and the original owner gets theirs back. Go to a mod shop and sell the duplicated Baller without damaging it to get the full price. Depending on how modded the Baller is the more cash you get for it, like I said me and my friend are getting $64,000 for ours. You just keep repeating this and get tonnes of cash. It is a glitch in GTA online so will probably be fixed by rockstar at some point but at the moment it works for any car that can be stored in a garage. You need at least two people to be able to do this as well. Please let me know if it works for you if you do try this glitch.

Bounties.

 

If you're playing with friends or crew members and you some how get a bounty, have them kill you for the bounty and give you half. Not only does this remove the bounty, but it also gives you and your friend or crew member easy money.

 

This is best done when you have a 5k bounty or higher. This way the player with the bounty makes at least 500$.

 

Bounties that are less than 5k are not with it unless the bounty hunter is going to give the other player the 2k to break even for his death fee. Other wise just stay alive for 24 in-game hours and you will collect the bounty that was placed on you.

 

Kill NPC's after stealing their vehicle and you won't get a bounty. It's best to just beat them down. Shooting will sometimes get you a star.

 

 

Does a crew member killing you give you a death on your stats?

Yeah but if it belongs to somebody else you can't keep it can you?

Yes. They are the same as any other player in this regard.

Misc.

 

How to wear a hat and mask at the same time.

 

1. While not in a car place hat on your character.

2. Get in a car and now place on your mask thru the 'mini menu inventory'.

 

Now you are able to wear both simultaneously.

Also to get in the back up of the cargobob simply jump through the opening, to get out use jump and r1.

Were there new missions added recently? I played one called Stocks and Scales today, which isn't on the list.

[Démotrix]

Yesterday me and my friend were messing around with a Cargobob. I lifted him up in the air while he was sitting in a car and I started swerving (not sure if correct word) and it caused his radio stations to change from one to another.

How do you access your inventory (snacks) on ps3? I almost tapped out trying to find my snack while under heavy gun fire. Luckily I got away & dropped a few in the process.

I'm sure it will be the same as xbox

 

Press and hold down your back button. This will display a small menu on upper left of screen

 

Here you can do lots of things including eating snacks

 

In the menu click on Inventory and you will see glasses, masks, snacks etc

 

Highlight snack and eat/drink

 

Points to note

You cant eat/drink while driving our crouching behind cover

But you can speed up process by eating/drinking while aiming (this removes the action but still gives health)

Thank you my friend!!!

[madmanaz]

I notice missions have little side objectives. Like, kill someone with a car or whatever. How do I know what that sub objective is before going into the mission/match?

 

TL;DR: Does the game show side objectives or am I blind or what?

[madmanaz]

While all the stores TECHNICALLY sell the same things, some stored have more tables/displays to access the options. Like "accessories". Some of the cheap clothing stores have a small display allowing you to buy a watch.

Do cars save in your garage without insurance? I'm wanting to keep one for a friend when he is next online.

[Judas0ne]

_{^ As soon as you park it in your garage it gets a tracker and becomes yours. Good thing is that while you're driving it more of the same type should spawn so your friend can grab one then.}

Thanks, will just have to find another when he is on.

You do not need to insure it to keep it in your garage.

Thanks for this, put my mind at ease, was lucky enough to get a Ratloader earlier on route 68 next to my garage while being followed, left it there and shot out the door on a Sanchez and the same guy chased me and eventually shot me, once i spawned again there was the Duneloader i had been looking for rinse and repeat.

 

 

Long story short, yes it doe's save with a tracker good enough to get you to a mod shop.

Nice, can't wait to try this

Thanks for the tip on the Elegy. I didn't realize that it was available for Online. Wouldn't have thought to check the legendary site. Currently my go-to car!

Misc

 

When fighting AI, if you have a CHOICE between TAKING COVER and RUNNING

 

Always choose cover, the AI will just aimbot you if you run into the open

[Parkway]

Rat loader - spawns in Sandy Shores.

You'll see a gun icon then just east will be a mission icon.

It spawns right there and also another block to the east.

 

Sultan - spawns one/two blocks over to the east of gun/mission icon in Sandy Shores. It's in a side street under a white shelter (garage).

 

If need help, add ps3 "Parkway_88"

How many FREE cars do you get when you buy an apt? I watched a vid on youtube & they got 4 cars but only 1 show available for me. The others are "out of stock". Should I wait until all 4 are available?

Create playlists of single jobs for fast travel. Just label them the location of the job and quit out of the lobby. Poof fast travel. And your personal vehicle should be close by too. Credit typical gamer for that one.

Blowing up a pv doesn't cost you or get you a bad sport warning if the person *driving* has a bounty. So you can set a bounty & do this. If someone is trying to do this to you, jump out of the moving car.
