Trick to avoid getting bad sport.

So I was chilling in free roam when this dude in a car started speeding towards me. He starts firing some bullets so I blew him and his car up with a grenade launcher, thinking I'd only get a warning for bad sport. But my warnings had been piling up, so this time I got bad sport. As soon as I became a bad sport, with the dunce hat and all, I turned off my xbox right there and then.

 

When I went back online a few minutes later, my bad sport status and dunce hat were gone. I assume you have to be quick to turning off your xbox so it doesn't save on the servers, but otherwise this is extremely useful. I have avoided 3 potential bad sports using this method.

This has been speculated to a bunch of times already. But the servers now are f*cked anyways with the delays/stuff not saving. So it could be that.

So the solution to avoid getting bad sport is to rage quit?

Just quit, instead of raging because you're a bad sport for no reason

Say you get a few warnings for blowing up cars, do they eventually reduce/disappear or will they only reset once you leave Bad Sport Penitentiary?

Thats some hardcore trolling. I guess its better if certain people potentially damage their console just to do this.

Good to know, but ATM cockstar servers aren't saving my progress anyway, so I can troll all night. But I won't cause I gotta sleep and work tomorrow.

Good luck. One of these times you WILL come back to an empty character slot.

 

Anytime I get booted from the PSN I lose a large chunk of progress. Maybe PSN only.

I don't know why people are suggesting that ragequitting will lose your progress. Your player saves to the cloud intermittently, such as when you finish a job/change session/change your appearance etc.

Old news. You can get rid of the bad sport punishment that way, but as soon as you blow up another couple of vehicles you'll get it again. It's not worth it.

This trick has always worked.

Just go dashboard and continue noob rape fest 2013
