Things you didn't know about GTAO until now

[sultangris]

If you ram into a fire truck there's a chance the NPC driving it will get pissed off and chase you, but not only that they'll turn the fire hose on you whilst taking chase!

Cops jack npc vehicles all the time and I'd the get a fire truck they squirt ya, lol!

Today , i waa in the movie studio. I took a car and hit the spaceman. Spaceman fell and hit security guy who came to investigate why woman are screaming. Guess what ? Security guy git crazy. He shot the spaceman and yelled something like this : " You won't able to touch my mother anymore ! " And then he ran away. Weird.

today my bud was glitched in the Mod Shop and noticed that Los Santos Customs got their business license in 2005

I'm going to check this out which one

Today I noticed that if you hold down the button when eating a snack, you get more health out of it. I was a little upset with myself for not finding that out earlier.

I pointed that out a page or two ago, surprising how many people don't know this.

 

Also, the Cognoscenti Cabrio has a retractable hardtop.

Obviously.

 

Ive had that car for MONTHS now...first car i purchased and NEVER realized it was a convertable *facepalm*

A couple of things the girlfriend has been doing recently are: going to nick the gangsters' car without getting shot at by arriving in a normal looking car or a Faggio rather than a flash super car and avoiding running around in a suspicious way; and avoiding having bounties set on her by stealing NPC cars at gun point rather than dragging the driver out of the vehicle. She thinks this stuff works.

'Free roaming' during a mission like Rooftop Rumble will turn the police off. Great way to cause carnage and look around the prison

[RichyBeats]

Find a parked car and hit it damaging the windows, now sneak around as you will notice the noise has changed as if you are walking around on smashed glass! makes me think they had big plans for stealth mode

[zainzombie]

 

 

I've also recently discovered that you can view the whole map when inside your apartment rather than just seeing that useless interior map.

I discovered that just now.

[MajorVienna]

Had the game since release and only just discovered the Schwartzer from IV is in it.

I thought I'd seen some sexy looking Shafters around the place as well as some without the Benefactor badge, now I know why. I also saw Schwartzer get mentioned once on this forum but I thought they meant Shafter.

It wasn't until I got in a 'Shafter' just now and saw it say Sports class (then noticing the car name in fact said Schwartzer) that it all clicked.

You'll see female body builders at the muscle beach if you play as a female character

You're going to love THIS thead!

[iheartlondon1969]

I actually noticed this in San Andreas's years ago, but only recently noticed this in 5! If you get into a crazy police chase you will here the cops scream "LAPD" or they will actually say "Los Angeles police department" now this only really happens when they say it over there loud speakers. But they will sometimes say it while chasing on foot. Don't believe me, google it.

[SmilingAssassin]

If you get really drunk in your apartment and then join random dm you are still drunk in dm for a while XD found this out to my dismay as my character fumbled along and got shot lol

I love this kind of thread.

 

FWIW it was only about 6 months in I realised you could call your mechanic and choose from your cars, I had been using the Inventory method or going to my garage if I wanted to change vehicles.

[FilthyEsquire]

The albany washingtons rims are reflective. Anyrims that are that style have a great reflection. GTA has some small details that add up to make an amazing game!

I've never seen't this posted ever so correct me if this is OLD.

 

When flying helis' HOLD L1 and R1 WHILE hauling ass and your stability will increase, turns are more precise, and you'll have a great rate of speed. ALSO if you are trying to go under stuff while speeding in the the heli holding those buttons will maintain the same relative altitude while hauling ass.

 

I've never seen it posted so credit me if I have taught you to fly better.

This is amazing. I showed up to a mission drunk like this and had to stumble over to a guy's car and get driven to the mission and the whole time I'm trying to aim I'm wobbling all over. I think I'll get drunk a lot more often now that it lasts so long. Five beers and you're set for a while.

 

I'll add this because it took me a while to figure out, though people mentioned it for snacks, holding the button allows you to drink a lot more beer and actually smoke a cig for a while. For the longest time I just tapped the button and thought they were useless.

[FilthyEsquire]

Or HOLD L3 and R3 while the smoke or drink action is Active and you can smoke or drink WHILE walking. The other day I went off radar and smoked a cig while passing a player that was AIMING in my direction. I killed him with my golf club.

If you knock say the back tail rudder off the titan you can then stand on it. Once done, stand on it and shoot at it. Enjoy your new form of transport.

What's a rooter?

[DiaDREWbetic]

here's something:

Remember in GTAIV you could call posted numbers and find npc phone numbers and call whoever pretty much?

 

welp you still can. open the phone then go to a contact, in the bttom left of the phone is a button that looks like a series of squares, press square and it opens the dialer

[System 11:11]

Not sure, but it's clearly a typo.

[sultangris]

Not sure, but it's clearly a typo.

I gonna guess you meant rotor? But titans don't have rotors they have props, and they aren't in the back so I'm not sure what your attempting to say, sounds fun though.

[System 11:11]

Got my helicoptor and plane parts mixed up, and I misspelt rotor =Þ

If I'm the one hanging back on RR while everyone else is chasing documents, I'll kill time by going to the Unicorn and blasting a few dudes in the dark. You can also hit a few stores, shoot the registers and make a whopping $160.

[MrManBuz]

I only noticed a few days ago you could enter Trevor's meth lab in GTAO lol

It's in the second floor of the liquor store beside the Ace Liquor DM in Sandy Shores, you gotta go around on the left hand side and use a car to let you reach the window. (You'll have to shoot it out first)
