What in the name is going on with the armoured cars tonight? 15 spawned in a row and each time i attacked it i got in the region of $10,000 to $15,000 In game money. What i find weird is i could attack one and another would spawn straight behind it, Cops couldn't catch me so i done them all lol :D

This is a common occurrence. I'd say it happens to me twice a week on average.

yeah this has been going on for ages. When it first happened I was convinced I was in a hacker lobby and left after attacking the fifth one.

Thankfully i was in the middle of upgrading a car when it done it, needed another $50,000 to complete the ugrade and that gave me $140,000. I then had the car fully upgraded and another one popped however didn't show up on the mini map, Found it blew the "Bloody" doors off and out dropped $50,000. Can't say it wasnt a good end to a good night.

I have also noted that if a high priority vehicle pops up the trucks stop spawning. Be sure to blow it up if you see it spawn.

Usually only the first one drops cash. The rest say they do but they don't. I walked around all over where they were in case it was invisible but didn't get any money, anyone else have that problem?

I noticed this last night. I would come out of a mission in a session that has only one player and armored trucks would spawn one after another. Good money......

You can also follow the trucks and watch it make money pickups , the more spots it stops at the more money that will be in the truck .

How long does a truck stay on? I noticed sometimes it would disappear before i can get to it.

Watch the radar, usually after its robbed it will lose its radar mark. You can still see it if your following it but it wont drop cash, another one has spawned in the same general area.Make sure your attacking the one on radar.

I've tried following them and they disappear... Usually one will spawn a block away if they are on the roll.

This happened to me except it would spawn half way across the map and would stay on the radar for about 30 seconds, couldn't get to any of them, felt like the game was trolling me...

yip, frustrating but hopefully these little glitches will be fixed in next update.

The only time it happened to me was on a cloverleaf, so they had me running back and forth - I think I only got about 5 in a row. Yesterday I got one every time I went into free roam, but the cops were real bastards, even driving down train tracks and off the map alleys, with the damn helicopter hovering over LS customs and my garage.

I noticed that last night as well. First time I've ever seen more than one at a time. I think I got about 5 of them before they stopped showing up. Made for an exciting session, hopefully it happens more often.

That's a glitch or bug since 1.06 I think and they never batched it. You can get this glitch to work if you play a couple of private only sessions missions with your friends and after and hour or so in free mode it will happend. My friends and I done this a couple of times. Played two sometimes only and hour missions in an invite only session and fatter that in the free mode still invite only the armored trucks appear right after another. Rob one and right after we did it there were another one. We made both together a million in like 2 hours.

I've had it quite a lot. Great for RP as it's 2000 RP for every truck you attack, you don't even need to get the money, just slam into it or shoot it and you'll get the 2000RP.

 

I've pinpointed that it happens more in invite only sessions. Most time I start an invite only and exit my apartment, atleast one truck will spawn, they will continuously spawn once or twice a week for me. After missions in invite only is also common.

 

The high priority vehicle stops them spawning, but blowing it up quickly usually lets the glitch continue. Note that taking the high priority vehicle to Simeon usually stops the glitch.

 

If you spot a truck, and don't go after it, it usually "de spawns" in about 60 seconds real time. Once it's in sight, it won't "de spawn" so, as long as you can see it you should be ok.

 

If they start spawning and a player is AFK, they will spawn, drive away from the player, de spawn, then spawn close to the AFK player again, this will happen until another player gets close or the AFK player comes back. I observed this the other day, was kind of interesting, allowed me to race across the map to get it.

 

They also only seem to spawn in close proximity to players. I was in a public lobby and it happened once, 12 players all going for trucks in downtown.... Blood bath...

 

Hopefully this doesn't get patched!
