Things you didn't know about GTAO until now

The clock in the Bank actually works.

The clock in the Bank actually works.

 

I'm not being like some of the wankers you see in here, giving it the "Uhhhh, didn't you know that already, you noob???", but most of the clocks you see actually work. Ones that you'd expect to chime also chime, and there are bells to signify the end of periods at the university.

Nice i didnt know about the bell stuff either. I was surprised with the clock working cause i've done psj countless times but it was only until recently that i noticed.

I believe a considerable amount of people don't know there is a university

I believe a considerable amount of players online don't even know what a university is.

 

I remember GTA 3 had a working clock in it's version of Times Square, it blew me away at the time.

originally going to be an elementary school.

 

For around 5 seconds, probably. No way Rockstar goes through this twice.

Didn't know until recently that if you don't log in on a given day your Daily Objectives streak will remain alive. It will only end if you log on but don't complete the objectives.

Which platform are you on? (My guess would be XB360 or PS3).

Before Lowriders, this was also true for me on PC, but since then, the one day I didn't log in (was traveling), the streaks were reset. My impression from a PS4 player is that this is also the current state for PS4 and I would assume also XB1.

[Crafty-]

555-we-tip is correct as far as Ps4 goes, a friend got his 100k bonus recently and doesn't play every day.

 

In fact, this is per character, so even if you sign in on one character and complete objectives the progress for that character increases, if you don't log in with a specific character their progress is not reset.

 

e.g.

 

Monday: Sign in with character A, do objectives, repeat for character B.

Tuesday: Sign in with character A, do objectives.

Wednesday: Sign in with character A, do objectives, repeat for character B.

 

If you check the awards section for both characters you'll find that A is at 3/28 and B is at 2/28.

^ Is this legit? I can't believe how much I was stressing out about getting online when I was going for my 28 days (the game reset my progress after 24 days anyway)

 

The thing I recently discovered is that some cars have visible brake calipers - at least coloured (red) ones anyway (I guess all other cars have white/alloy ones). I know it's extremely random and dumb but maybe it's because I've been playing NFS recently so it just suddenly became more apparent to me.

Yes, it's legit. It only counts when you're online. It doesn't reset if you don't go online.

You can set off your car alarms in your garage.

[Soran Is On]

I didn't know there were 2 fences at the LSIA where you can crash through.

Locations:

 

 

Some screenshots:

 

 

And you can break every fence with a door, but the door won't break, so the space is just big enough to walk past the fences.

 

I know....the locations are far away from the roads, but it's better to have something, instead of nothing.

 

That must have changed in the past year because when I switched to PS4 I tested the whole airport and the only thing breakable was the fences around the doors and nothing other than a bike would fit. There's a small section north of the north gate that a marshall can break through and enter with but no other vehicles can jump the concrete.

 

good find. will store away for emergency use

I'm not sure if this has been mentioned in this featured before, but a while back I found a soccer ball up near Procopio Beach near Dignity Village. It is near a culvert that goes under the train tracks which can be entered by foot or motorcycle. A second part of the culvert which goes under the freeway can be entered on one side only by riding a motorcycle, and the ball can be pushed into there. I've been able to push the ball to the other end of the freeway culvert, hoping to get it on the beach to kick it around, but haven't been able to get it out, either by foot or motorcycle. I'd really like to be able to play ball on the beach, so if anyone has figured out this puzzle, please let me know. Yes, shooting it will pop and destroy it.

No, shooting it, even with a rocket, doesn't destroy it.

 

Is it possible to pick it up with an Cargobob?

[Soran Is On]

As a VIP you can spawn a buzzard right next to you for free with a really short cooldown. Best part of being a vip for me.

 

If you drink yourself unconscious on your yacht you don't wake up at the hospital you wake up in bed in your yacht.

[Mach1bud]

I did not know until today that if you just tap the L1 button (I think it was that) you will put away your weapon. I have been bringing up the wheel every time for years now.

I never knew this. Thank you ha.

 

Has anyone noticed that a lot of the fountains that were in the front/back of some homes in Rockford Hills/Richman/Vinewood have disappeared?

 

Maybe not everyone would notice this, but they've been disappearing since the Hipster update.

Condensation forms when your character breathes out. Not sure if it applies only during the snowy weather we're experiencing right now. It's subtle but there.

[Roronoa Zoro]

In vehicles with turrets, hit right on the d-pad to climb inside the vehicle for protection.

 

At the end of Pac Standard, you can shoot teammates out of the sky if your flare hits their parachute... FML.

[Crunch McThornbody]

EXPLOSION SHOCKWAVES!

 

 

Only seems to happen in that particular piece of water in the big resevoir with the dam. Does it with grenades/rockets/sticky bombs etc., I discovered it during the snow but that's not a factor.

Not so much 'things you didn't know about GTAO' as Social Club, and it's pretty obvious, but still, hadn't done it before now:

You can't write the town 'Sc*nthorpe' in a Social Club wall post.


[edit] ...aaand GTAForums auto-censors it as well - this is perfect.

I didn't know that armor actually stacked. Wanted to get rid of the low armors we received the 24th/25th as I thought I'd have no use for them but they turned out to be a help in Pacific Standard.

[Roronoa Zoro]

You can send emails thru the internet, i never knew about that. Go to the top of your web browser. You can also text and call people/friends in game, even on other servers.

[Zoop_Leroy]

I play story mode once in a blue moon, so I didn't know there was a slamvan tow truck. Edit...oops not even relevant; this topic is about gtao lol.

 

I just recently discovered that skate park near Lester's factory and LSC.

Some of the generators on rooftops explode after being set on fire.

[zecanelao]

If you try to use any Merryweather services right after finishing one of their gang attacks, you're refused with a message along the lines of: "Due to your recent activities, your service privileges have been revoked. They may be reinstated at another date."

 

It's the little things, duuuuude.

Ironically you can call Merryweather when you're doing a mission where they are our enemies and still get their services. Edited January 3, 2016 by zecanelao

I loaded up my secondary character the other day to find that i had my primary characters armoured kuruma is where his dominator used to be,

I thought it's just another glitch in the matrix and reverted back to my primary character,

Decided to load up my secondary character today and went in to LSC,

 

I noticed that i no longer have to win races to unlock vehicle parts, but just rank up instead,

This is so much better as i'm not much of a racer

Except it doesn't stack beyond the 10 slots unless R* do it. You can't carry 50 armours normally.

Try shooting those rooftop air conditioners with a minigun, and stand right next to them when you do it
