Things you didn't know about GTAO until now

What rank are you? If it's passed 135, then yes, you won't get anymore.

500 odd, I could have sworn I'd been getting them though. I don't pay much attention to be fair. I'm talking about the free armour it gives you when you rank up btw, not how much I can carry.

[PetrolCB]

Oh right, the "100+/100" notification? I always thought it was glitched, I guess they fixed it then. I haven't seen it either myself recently (ranks 444/527).

That's probably it, when I get the max health notification bug then I get the armour too. Or when I get the notification I don't get the armour. Either way, if it's that inconsistent bug causing it then it'd explain why I sometimes get it but not others.

Once in a blue moon I'll get that, or the phantom maxed driving attribute. Again though, it's been at least a month and change since then.

If the police see a pedestrian beating you up, they'll shoot them.

 

But if they see a paramedic or fireman beating you up, they don't give a sh*t.

[Rocket Skates]

There is apparently an underground parking lot underneath the University campus, just can't find where the ramps are that would take you down there (possibly an oversight by R*, and I never expected to be able to get down there, just for there to be some ramps). There is a stairwell down to a maintenance door however.

[TheFroggmann]

 

Didn't know you could use the poppers on the LSDWP Boxville like a police siren.

 

Never noticed if you have closed sunroof it will sometimes fall off if you hit something hard enough.

 

Always thought if you gear up landed an aircraft it would explode. Apparently it can be done:

 

-snip-

White Swift?

 

 

Barge heli.

Is their signs around saying so or did you stumble upon an interior? I've never paid attention to things like that.

[CarimboHanky]

Just noticed you don't RP for killing cops and military during missions.

they removed the rp because of the "afk rp method".

 

in the past there was a mission that had endless enemy spawn from 1 single spot, so people used to take a tank, rubberband their controller in certain way so it keep shooting in the direction of the enemy spawn point, leave the controller there for hours, ranking up in the process.

[Matrelith]

You can retry Time Trials by pressing and holding triangle/Y (just like respawning in races). It will teleport you back to the start of the Time Trial in your current vehicle. This way you don't have to drive all the way back when you mess up.

There's at least one public place/area on the map that the LSPD will rarely drive across (esp. with three stars or less--handy for losing them)...not going to say where that is, for fear that R* will "fix" it.

More info pls?!

[DentureDynamite]

^^ IMO there's quite a bit of unfinished "mappage" that needs fixing/deleting, etc. in GTA Online. While some it are wall breaches due to natural bugs in how 3D objects fail to seal or attach to themselves (possibly related to the CAD software R* uses), others are clearly things that R* has failed to address in one way or another.

 

To this day, I still don't understand how and why clipping/breaching issues even EXIST anymore. With all the high-powered hardware and software out there, we're still seeing the same basic 3D clipping-through issues that have been there for decades in video games:

You can fast travel to warehouses and offices

Specifically, the Pisces model with "Pristine" paint would get you an all-white Swift.

Dunno about the university, but there is one roughly under the Rooftop Rumble building; it's the interior seen in the "Winner" screen for races.

[CarimboHanky]

You can fast travel to warehouses and offices

how?

[PetrolCB]

Using the luxury chopper under "CEO Abilities".

[ash-274]

Using the luxury chopper under "CEO Abilities".

You think we should be able to do that with the Swift, but no.

[Tonguegirl]

Dunno about the warehouse, but you call the assistant for a luxury chopper then trip skip to the office. Or something like that.

No there is just a sign near the track field that says underground parking above some doors. Like I said, I didn't expect to get down there but I thought there would be some ramps for vehicles located nearby with most likely a sealed off roller door but I saw nothing. The stairwell down to the door is right next to the sign but the door doesn't open obviously. (This was basically just an 'attention to detail' find that I just thought was cool, maybe I shouldn't have put it here).

Nah, I was just curious. Lol. I've never really been to/explored the university except in SP doing the private cab fares.

Doing Executive Search allows you to do a lot of exploring while you wait if you're on foot. I've stumbled across a lot of things in different areas that I thought were really neat.

[CarimboHanky]

on entourage, if the time runs out, the target and bodyguard team can win by just surviving!

 

which makes the whole extraction objective super pointless!

 

this may explain why im seen more and more targets simply camping.

[hoxi]

That there's a f*ckING. SUBMARINE. I had no idea you could even get it in Online.

Factory farmed, cheaply built, unloved software, packaged up for your money pleasure.

 

Simply, software houses aren't software houses any more. They are greedy mother f*ckers.

Has this changed? I know that when I played the first 3 entourages that when the timer ran out the assassins won. Maybe it's been changed with the addition of the 3 new entourages? Or does it just depend on whether all the bodyguards and targets don't lose a life.

experienced this yesterday, i was on the assasins team and managed to keep the target pinned in a location, i was expecting a W but says he won!

 

R* logic!

[Giantsgiants]

We have songs released in 2014-2015 and 2015-2017 models for some cars. But technically, the in-game year is still 2013. Crazy.

How can the ASSASSINS win, when their only goal is to assassinate the target and the target survives?!? Ever played Hitman?

 

More like "your logic"...

 

EDIT: The goal, that the target has to reach, is only there so the target can finish this mission without waiting for the time to crawl to 0...
