Things you didn't know about GTAO until now

[r0nx]

 

 

If you hang around Poplar St garage you'll see people trying a dupe glitch, I think. They leave their car and go into their garage.

 

Steal the car and sell it

U can't sell cars modded by other players.

Heh they must have been doing it wrong then.

 

So you stole a car from them and sold it for 200k? If not, you didn't steel a real tuned & duped car, just a normal street car.

been playing all this time and just till recently didnt know you had to pay entry fee's for doing job

On the Roof of the Eclipse towers there is a spare chute you can use. Maybe this was R* last minute cut content for a heli-pad for your apartment...

LOL thats how I found out too

You're all going to laugh but I only found out the Elegy was free a couple of days ago...

Not everyone knows about the Social Club site, so I won't facepalm that one. I will roll my eyes a little, though.

Can you access the Elegy (and pay for it) if you don't have a linked Social Club account, or is it missing from the website, or does it say "out of stock"?

its a socialclub bonus, so if you dont have a socialclub or simply dont have your psn/xbl linked to the socialclub it appear as out of stock on the website.

i found out when someone told me last year, i always thought you only have to pay to enter jobs when you have a wanted level, but no thats not the case.

 

i was surprised by that, almost a million dollar spend on job entry fees to this day.

I have an SC account and I'm all linked up - just never realised it said free underneath it!!

Wow, you haven't done much exploring; most tall buildings have a chute on top.

A lot of you are totally missing the point of this thread.

How so?

[whywontyoulisten]

By pointing out that lots of buildings have parachutes? It's hardly the same as going "hurr-durr you're so stupid, everybody knows that"; it might actually be helpful.

Just found out the ETR1 is based on the Lexus VGT

Proof: http://gta.wikia.com/wiki/ETR1

"The vehicle's general shape and rear fascia is primarily based on the Lexus LF LC Vision Gran Turismo."

^ I wondered why my ETR-1 came with a minicab driver. Ugh, I bought a Nissan.

The 48 minute cooldown on selling vehicles applies for both characters,

I'm pretty sure that never used to be the case!

 

Couple of things I've discovered:

 

- If you turn the main beams on in a race at daytime and reset the car, it respawns with dipped headlights on (usually only avaliable at night)

 

- The flip up visor applies to some of the old helmets as well as the new, as Lola's shatter pattern one from her bike outfit can do it.

[TheFroggmann]

Never noticed the police NPCs will limp after you shoot them.

 

 

He was down after one hit.

Yeah I also found that if you have a mission where you can set the time, you'll have the full selection of headlight settings (off, dipped, full/secondary) even during daytime. Guess it works in races too?

Didn't know this till today but the Ford GT 2017 (Forgot the ingame name) Vapid FMJ has a interior light at night, even when the door is closed.

You don't have to buy crates to get a special item notification.

 

Haven't bought one for a couple weeks, all warehouses totally empty, got the notification just after winning a Criminal Damage.

 

And sometimes it will just show up without a notification. This morning before work, I went to go sell a car. I got an empty public lobby and decided to squeeze in a crate buy. Get in and the prices are different, look closer and it's the bigfoot hide.

 

I was a little late to work this morning.

 

 

Oh and FYI, you can kill NPCs by pushing them down, takes time though...

Then again, what do you expect? You, too, would die from being shoved repeatedly into the ground.

One of the NPC dialogues is to answer the phone and immediately say "No, sorry, I don't go bowling any more".

I learned two things today.

 

- If you fire off an empty weapon during a convenience store robbery, as soon as he hears the click the clerk will shoot you or rush at you.

 

- Ignited gasoline from the Jerry can burns faster on sand and grass than on asphalt.

Yeah, the first one has been around for some time (nice detail by R* though)--the clerk will also (rarely) shout an insult at you after you leave the store after robbing it...providing you left him alive.

 

Second one is new to me--interesting!

 

Somewhat related is the fact (AFAIK) that shooting the Ammu-nation clerk (as long as the doors aren't propped open) never results in a wanted level. So you can nail him and sometimes get at least some of your money back from one or both cash registers. Not always though--sometimes the Ammu-nation registers don't "spit out" cash when you shoot them.

 

What honks me off though is that, if someone attacks the store while you're inside innocently browsing/buying something, the clerk will shoot YOU first (no questions asked--and you can't easily draw your weapon inside the store to defend yourself), then try and defend against the attacker. Thanks so much, R*.

 

I've made numerous Ammu-nation clerks pay dearly for that shiz...still making them pay.

if you have an office and is full of piles of money, moving your money to the second character would clear the office of the money piles.

 

didnt know that earning new money would cause new piles of money to spawn in the office.

[whywontyoulisten]

Just noticed that 2874 Hillcrest Avenue has the wrong picture on Dynasty 8...it's of the next house up the road towards Madrazo's.

You can set petrol on fire using your car's tires.
