Cool Things You Didn't Know About: V Edition

[shortyg]

 

I had Franklin jump into a convertible the other day, never seen it before, now that you mention it, I just ran up to it like normal and pushed triangle and he hopped over into the car. I tried doing it with Michael but it didn't work. I should test this.

 

I remember that back in San Andreas. Good times. So...this is old but if you pull out any non DLC Pistol or Assault Rifle (not sure about the Tazer and CE works too) and try to steal a car with a ped in it without a wanted level it will show a unique animation of pointing the gun at the and driving off.It works with Trevor and his truck if you jump into it at the right spot. Otherwise you'll stand on the seats and you can still push triangle to get in.

Ahha there more glitches offline then online

It actually happened to me online but I'm sure it happens in sp.

The luggage carts at the pier can be ridden like a skateboard.

[Apex]

I'm sure most people know this since it's been like this in pretty much every GTA game but if you park a vehicle somewhere, it will stay there forever, no matter how far away you go, as long as you don't get into any other vehicle (not even a bmx). So you could, if you really wanted to, drive up to Mount Chiliad, leave your car there, run all the way to Los Santos and back and it would still be there waiting for you, in whatever condition you left it in.

You can't get "one of them"
Unlike 4 , no dogmeat for your protagonist.

Paparazzi hold there camera's high for better picture's.

 

If you find a good ramp, stuff can be taken.
This one is at the end of the forking traintrack ending, north of little bighorn ave-downtown
Also had a sanchez in the sandking, used the ramp on vespucci beach near the pier.

 

You can walk under the pier.
On the west up to the stairs at the end of the pier.
On the east you can't get that far.(missing corner)

Just use a car to climb on.

 

Some houses have solarpanels.
You can't get in the tower by standing on a car.
(lokated at the castle at mad wayne thunder dr - vinewood hills.)
You also can't get in the dome of the universiti (dorset dr south of the golf club)
Both have open window's and a floor inside.

 

A new unused car becomes useless after a dip.

 

Like car's the tracks made don't math tire's.

 

The fork of the forklift can't get trough a broken window of a car.

Ped's seem to know the traficlight status, even if you've shot all the lights

Ped's react like the bmx has a bell.

If your bike has 2 flat tires, you can turn the pedals,but you don't move.

The star's of vinewood have a name and a logo.
a t.v , radiotower , movie or a old recordplayer.

The headlight of peds cars shines only about 1 carlenght.
You can notice it at night by getting in a ped's car, the light distance changes.
The high light shines realy further than the normal light. (right d-pad)

You can't tow a motorbike

The logo of "country of los santos" has 2 gun's with a burial-cross below.
One gun point's to the head of a mexican.
The other gun point's to the head of a native.
It's so the history of America, even with the European ship sailing west in a bloody red sea.

That first pic is so sad... Even NPCs don't buy a hotdog either but they did in GTA IV. It would've been useful for when we have low health but considering our health 'half' regenerates than I see why we can't interact with them. But another thing that I don't understand is we can purchase snacks in gas stations to get our health up but it doesn't show our character eating it lol... In the original San Andreas we were able to buy snacks from the vending machine it would show CJ eat but with nothing in his hand but in GTA V we literally purchase the snacks and NOTHING...

When you fly out of the map too far it's not only your plane that will malufunction but also your parachute will be cut automatically. And if you manage to fight of the shark for too long you will simply die. Yaaay!

Makes sense though, I mean nobody likes being stuck at the edge of the map in the ocean having to spend half an hour(real life time) to swim all the way back to land.

You can hear a commercial for the new Flight School on the radio occasionally.

Even before the update was launched online, you still heard it being advertised, online! How i knew the rumors were true lol

[Benefactor69]

I've heard that since the game came out, it was most likely meant for the SP flight school.

By far the craziest thing I've done & seen so far in GTAV - Somehow I ran over a woman pedestriran just the right way that she fell OVER the hood of my car and through the windshield, landing directly on top of me inside as I continued driving!

 

I've been driving for 10 minutes so far and she's literally stuck in the car with me as I drive--with her face perfectly down over my...well you know...as I drive LOL.

 

Trying to take camera pic but apparently you can't take pics while driving :-| So I got out the car, opened the door and took a few pics-- including a selfie LOL. If I can figure out how to take a screenshot I'll upload it here

If you manage to hit someone's legs with a car you'll hear a bone breaking sound just like in gta 3 it happened only once for me and its easy to do it with low cars like infernus because you are closer to the ground

If you're crazy enough to swim out for half an hour then you're sure as hell crazy enough to swim back

[Vec]

What I've done!?

 

 

 

I did it by beating Ron with a nightstick (Face the opposite way and throw a hit at your back. This should hit him) until he fell over the fence and stood in his original position and he automatically spawns at his original position.

 

 

Man that's creepy

[TheDeaconBosco]

 

Ron's also fireproof apparently...

 

EDIT:

-Ron, what the hell have you done, you dipsh*t! I take a piss and leave you to the BBQ, and that's what I see when I come back?!

-I'm sorry Trevor, it's just that those propane tanks you brought back... They were kinda leaking and...

-And that's somehow my fault?! What are you trying to say, that I don't have anything better to do than to put leaks in propane tanks?! Trust me, if I wanted to kill you there are a lot more satisfying ways I could think of, so you better clean that sh*t up before I make my damn mind!

It sucks that mission wasn't included hopefully it's in the PC/XB1/PS4 version!

I don't know if anyone has already said this, but, while driving, it's possible to hit another car and actually make it lose one of its wheels! This has happened to me several times and it's very rare, you must be driving fast, and you have to crash one of the car's sides, and in a specific place. However this only happens in singleplayer.

 

Edit: Also, you can't be launched away through a car's windshield (when crashing at high speeds, like in GTA IV) on GTA Online.

I knocked a good 5 tires off in one day yesterday. I remember my face when discovering this at launch too. Godd times...

Hahaha yeah, I was really really surprised the first time I saw this.

The best way to take wheels off of cars is to park them on the train tracks

Funny thing is, you can actually drive the car whose wheel you just knocked off just fine.

You also couldn't do this in IV Multiplayer.

 

Anyway, in some buildings that you can't enter around LS you can actually see elevators moving up and down inside them. It seems like its just an animated texture, but still cool either way.

Off topic: I've flown through the windshield on IV's multiplayer on rare occasions. I believe it is regarded as a glitch when it occurs.

I wish they would animate NPC's walking into houses/buildings as well, this could help give them daily schedules and add to the realism!

- When a player character gets a can out of a vending machine, they tap the top of the can 3 times, which is said to stop the contents of shaken cans from getting fizzy.

 

- You can find sandcastles on the beach. Better still, you can kick them over!

I got someone stuck in my door somehow... it was open and swinging and i reversed into someone, and they got their arm stuck in the open door as it closed I guess... and I must have dragged them 2-3 minutes before they fell out.. may have stayed longer if I tried to drive calm but I had too many police stars lol

 

reminded me of GTA IV when people used to try open the door to pull you out after you steal their car, and they'd hang out the door handle as you drag them around LC haha

 

I had a weird thing yesterday where I was hunting and texting people pics of dead animals... and for some reason Beverly (who was also already dead from Franklin) replied to Trevor haha "WTF Trevor" was what he said. I think I texted that Ursala g/f a dead pig when it happened but I had my U/I turned off for immersion so I didn't see the pop-up (I read all the email replies later)

A couple days ago i hit a woman in Tevor's Bhodi and she went through the windshield and got stuck in the passenger seat. I didn't even a kilometer before it completely glitched out and the truck flew into the air, did a few flips and the woman flew out.

 

And there's a glitch with sending people hunting pics. Nearly all the dead people will reply, though only with generic replies like "WTF Trevor" or "dude, seriously".
