I discovered you can buy shoes in Ammunation about 1 second ago

You know you can swap lock-on targets with L1/LT on the buzzard or jet? or that all helicopters can float on the sea surface?

I've just discovered this morning that you can buy shoes at Ammunation...most of you probably know this and even more probably don't care...I don't even care apart from the fact that I never knew this

I noticed 2 references in story mode about your Online character.

First one was Franklin talking to Lamar, he said something to Lamar about stealing a gas truck, which is referencing an Online mission that you have to do for Lamar.

Second one was Lester talking to Michael. Michael asks if Lester knows anybody that would be suitable for a heist, and Lester says 'I've been working with someone, but nah they are to unpredictable'.

Yeah, that's sounds about right...I didn't realise the flames were chrome though...it must have been reflecting black when I saw them...is there any other cars with this kind of "art" on them?

Franklin also references you when he says all the jury disappeared that were involved in Madrazo's case, if you didn't know that one too (Judging the Jury).

When you're chugging pibwasser bottles, if you hold down your A button (xbox), you drink more from it, longer, getting your character drunker faster.

 

Driving drunk is pretty f*cking hard.

 

 

Swimming drunk is pretty hard, too.

Pressing down on the d pad while in your garage will show your cars stats and if it's insured or not. Did this on accident a long time ago and could never figure out how I did it. Well I just figured it out lol and realized I had four uninsured vehicles.

Have the action you want to use set as your quickplay, and then press LT on Xbox while taking a selfie. Doesn't work with all actions

I just found this out.

When driving the undercover buffalo (from hack and dash mission) when you have your siren on you can change the sound while pressing down on R3, there are two different sounds you can make.

I havn't read all 14 pages but in 23 days playtime its the first time I've noticed this.

you kidding me right? Lol try the ambulance, sounds pretty dope when you press down R3

 

read it again
too lazy

 

Laziness and stupidity goes hand in hand. you dont have to be a jerk about it

Wish being drunk lasted a few minutes, one time we tried to do some drunk impromptu races but the buzz wares off way too quick

Since 1.13 there's a bug which shows some of your cars as uninsured to other players even if they are insured.

Id rather have tanks flatten cars instead on blow them up.

Double tap the horn a it will create 1 of 3 different sounds. I remember doing this in SA.

I discovered you can do and hold a wheelie on a BMX for as long as your skills permits.

 

How?

 

Jump into the air, land on your rear tyre only, hold the analog stick down (in the direction that raises your front tyre) and tap OR hold down the accelerate button.

 

Not sure if this is common knowledge, but I definitely didn't know it.

 

How? It's not working for me.

 

 

Don't have to do that jump thing...

 

Pedal at normal speed

Push forward on the left stick then immediately back

As soon as you pull back start tapping the run button (X for PS3)

You'll do a wheelie as long as you don't crash or don't keep tapping X

 

:)

I've noticed my car gets impounded when I change sessions or freeze since 1.13.... that's a money sucker and time waster.

If your car gets impounded just start up Rooftop Rumble and you can get it back at the impound lot free of charge by hopping the wall, you also won't get a wanted level either.

Everyone loves this thread apparently...

 

http://gtaforums.com/topic/609823-gta-online-tips-and-tricks/

This thread has 90% of everything already stated lol

 

Also a good thread.

 

Many people on this thread are posting tips and tricks for others that may not know about them, but technically this ones all about "stuff you've only noticed now". Which turned out to be the same type of topic, but different lol.

I hate to add to speculation, but I saw a 'Opening Soon' banner at the casino. Unless that has always been there? I don't know.

I'm sure for many people, this is their first GTA experience. I know quite a few personally.
