Things you didn't know about GTAO until now

[LightningLord]

 

 

 

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

 

Where is that?

 

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)

Thanks.

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.

 

He means the rudder on the vertical stabilizer. If you can get the ailerons (on the wings) or elevators (on the horizontal stabilizer) off then you can probably do it with those as well.

I am probably the sole idiot on this entire forum that just noticed this but.....I some how failed to realize that you can buy "stock" of body armor, not just the active armor you're buying to wear now.

 

I don't know why it never dawned on me - I just assumed that you buy body armor and you wear it....and when you get shot up, you can back to the store and buy more. Then while browsing in my inventory screen a few weeks ago I felt like someone slapped me in the face when I realized "DUH I CAN BUY MULTIPLE ARMOR TO PUT IN MY INVENTORY"

It was only recently added, so you're not really that late.

I only noticed that Fort Zancudo has 2 runways. Not one.

 

A long one and a really short one at the Western Most side of the base

[Bestin_theWorld]

I discovered that you cant die in missions and get a free ammo refills anymore lol

[OverdueBills]

I discovered, the NPC's have lives and families.
I followed an NPC around for nearly 3 hours and he didnt everything from fill his car with gas and drove all the way out to Paleto Bay.
Then he picked up another individual and they drove through the Chiliad Wilderness and got out, smoked, drank soda, and then simply went hiking.
I have no patience so I killed one of them about half way through the hike and I immediately felt bad.

I ended a life.
Im a monster.

haha, is that true? ive followed them for a little while but never that long, saw an npc go pick up a hooker and take her in an alley, lol! Someone was also saying that sentinel xs hitman dude stays spawned and drives around and you can find him again if he goes off your screen, is that true? I always assumed he despawned like every other car you chase and lose sight of for a second. ive seen him go by a few times when your in sandy shores if you just drive around slow yourself for a bit.

[donnii]

You have no patience yet you followed him around for three hours, yeah sure you did.

[BuckTheWorld_]

In Story mode, play as Franklin. Go into the bedroom and walk into the guitar and it "plays" a chord... Of sorts.

 

I'm sure this is in here already but whatever...

[CrayCray]

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

Yup, extremely helpful for calling 911 to acquire a firetruck.

Wow I'm stupid. I assumed since emergency services was removed from the contact list we couldn't call them. Never occurred to me to dial 911 smh

 

Edit: Call it once and it gets added to your contact list. Cool sh*t.

I'm afraid I stole this from TypicalGamer, but I didn't know triple-click left stick gives you silent sirens (ie lights only) on emergency vehicles.

 

TBH I suspect it's a bug

[Silnev]

I didn't know that you can repel from a Merrywheather helicopter as long as you're above the roof of a building.

[robinthefactory]

Did you know that if you're at the edge of a cover position (end of a wall for example) and then you press X of Square while using the left analog stick to peek out of cover that you'll actually switch cover positions? I found this out after replaying "Mr. Phillips" in Single-Player.

Shooting the back rotor/propeller on a helicopter sends it into a spiraling death of doom.

 

......my face when I did it on accident :0

[EKGene]

Didn't go through the other posts, so pardon me if this has been mentioned.

 

I was unaware that in the Pause Menu, under Online and Options (if I'm not mistaken), there is no longer a field for which current update is in use.

When standing outside one apartment you can call your mechanic to bring cars from your second one.

Judging by how many players stay in their choppers after I do this, right until they faceplant the Earth, I reckon less people know this than I figured.

 

PS I reckon Jamie and Adam should get a Barret and a Huey and try this out.

This isn't the first time Cult and Snoop Dog have been in the same video game. Happened over ten years ago with Gran Turismo 3.

 

Cocaine is a song title that has appeared in the last two GTA titles.

 

Phill Collins has appeared the most out of any real artist in GTA. I hope I can be him again in the game.

bulldozer + the random rocks along highways can be used to block traffic

Yeah, that's where it was before for me, too. There is no entry for the current update for me.

 

Anyone else have (or not have) this?

 

 

 

Edit:

 

Nevermind. It's there... just didn't bother to scroll, as there's one extra field/entry.

 

Thanks.

Also it's the fourth time Hall & Oates have appeared in a GTA game.

I have no patience as in I don't feel like walking up a mountain. Too slow

You just taught me it gets added to your contacts, so no, not stupid. You learn something new everyday about this game. Love it.

When standing outside one apartment you can call your mechanic to bring cars from your second one.

If you've got 2 garages you get a choice of garages when you call the mechanic, no matter where you are. Unless you mean it only gives you the choice of your other garage, because you're so close to the first one?
