Things you didn't know about GTAO until now

Watching the TV in my apartment or garage prevents me from getting kicked for idling.

I saw an NPC unarmed buzzard flying above Vinewood for the first time ever today.

I see it quite often in Time To Get Away when spawning Dubsta2's. Weird that you can't buy it or anything. But yeah. Lol.

[Dr Labuschagne]

I think I was seeing things, but being in on the side while riding a bike doesn't do anything but switch your direction.

 

Can anyone confirm being hit on the side at various speeds from the side hurts you?

 

 

I remember being ejected from a Lazer I just landed then I pressed Triangle during a mission, why did that happen?

[PS-GTAIVplayer]

Just discovered you can be in more than one crew. f*ck me I could've been having a Wonder Woman emblem

Only one is active at a time.

Watching the TV in my apartment or garage prevents me from getting kicked for idling.

I always like doing that if I find myself in an interesting lobby, and I cannot play immediately. A lobby of jet griefers and mic owners screaming foreign gibberish is not that.

Like Kushology noted, it can also be seen on occasion when doing the "Denial of Service" job (spawning Dubsta 2s/Dominators/Sentinel XSs):

i started seen them flying around in freeroam after the ceo update, before that it was only froggers and mavericks.

 

i normally see 1 flying by when im around the lsc near lesters, which is where my main warehouse is located.

Didn't know i could order ammo with the interaction menu.

 

Saw it yesterday while i was in the office, and there's a recent post in B&M mentioning it works during prison break finale.

 

Does this have any downsides compared to stocking up in ammu-nation?

It's more expensive. Only downside it has because it's "easier" to just stock up with the interaction menu. I still go to Ammu-nation more than I use that..but I've become a jew with my money.

From GTA Wiki (Duke O'Death Trivia section):

 

"The Duke O'Death can be one of the vehicles used during Moving Target in GTA Online."

 

How did I miss this for over eight months? Wow.

GTA V grenade launcher ammo is 6, GTAO grenade launcher default ammo is 10 for some f*cking stupid reason. I thought I had extended clip on it, but that's default ammo...

 

You literally lose half your ammo if you die with it in hand.

Still not as bad as back in the day when you lost all minigun ammo, even if you had 9999 rounds.

 

Bad times

Damn, how come I have never noticed this before? And it's one of my favorite weapons for tactical purposes.

 

I mean you can just look at the model of it and see it can only fit 6 grenades...

 

R* logic at it's finest.

[DentureDynamite]

^^ Especially when you consider that R* adds intricate detail such as manufacturer name to the cartridge ends of (at least some) bullets.

I didn't know until today that you can get electrocuted to death in GTAO!! The leader of my crew showed me. I probably found it way funnier than it actually is (he showed me because he knows I am easily amused)....The silly "BZZT!" noise and the way your character goes limp and falls with a splat....I think I laughed for a half hour without stopping. I took a few screenshots.

Holy crap! I must try this, is there a specific location?

There's some across the road from the darts bar and the satellite installation, another near the Vinewood Hills police station, and another across the road from the power station at the end of the wind turbines.

There's also the San Andreas Water and Power station in Vinewood, there are many of those there, which is where the photo was taken. But you will need a helicopter or parachute to there.

^the electrical transformer is an available prop in the creator (fully functioning). Way back in the early days I made an obstical course around a couple windmills that included a section of transformers... it's the hardest part of the course because they often send people flying into the air. Getting through is really an exercise in futility (not to mention hilarity)

 

Anywhoo.. thought I'd throw that in.. good times..

Never knew the parasols were so strong...

 

 

It's hard enough getting that thing to land on a flat surface. Congrats.

theres a small power station fenced off by the observatory, you typically hold that position in a freeroam event king of the castle

You can use your online characters in directormode.

Merryweather Soldiers will always attack you in directormode, no matter what your settings are.

You can use your online characters in Regisseurmode.

You typed most of it in English, might as well do the rest.

It's funny how Regisseur is pronounced the same way in Polish. While English... has a director instead. ಠ_ಠ What a derp language of the latter.

 

It appears that sometimes Simeon's import garage gets disabled. It often happens the second a free mode challenge is being announced. It's infuriating how the S icon disappears mere seconds before arriving in a F620 that would yield $12k.

I would have done that, if i would have known the english name.

Fixed it.

The other day I saw this for the first time:

Cool easter egg and well chosen logo

When I first saw that in single player I spent an hour looking around it for clues for the next Red Dead game lol
