Things you didn't know about GTAO until now

[HailHydra]

As a heister, my facts revolves around heist.

1. if you kill the guy that supposed to trigger the alarm if you kill someone in pacific standard, the guy beside him will trigger the alarm instead, and if you kill both of them the alarm triggers automatically.

2. Heist you got from on call will mostly depends on what heist you have, ex: if you have prison break and go on call you will mostly got prison break setup and finale.

3. if you are the hacker in pac standard and you finish hacking your char will show some excitement (if you go first person)

Has this shack always been here?

 

Yep, has a "prominent" mission appearance in one of michaels first missions in SP. Father/Son?

 

The one where he smashes Jimmys TV, drives to the beach with him to that shack to get a bike and race Jimmy to the pier and then swims to the yacht where Tracey is hooking up with these porn guys. You know, that usual you do with your kids.

Did you know if you have a Supervolito Carbon, the Luxury Helicopter (The CEO ability where you pay 5 Grand to basically either get a expensive Merryweather Helicopter or a Fast Travel from anywhere to your Office/Warehouse/Import Garage) will also be Carbon, whereas it's usually a Normal Supervolito

Oh? What about the insta-spawn CEO SuperVolito? Might buy a Carbon if it is.

^ Also carbon, and matte, looks good.

Wasn't that fixed like 100 years ago? I remember reading some update's patchnotes, and it said that they've fixed the blista c's dashboard..

 

Yeah they got rid of the Futo logo's on the speedo and plastered all over the door cards.

To be fair I have only driven that car in the unpatched game, once.

 

I hated the exhaust sound, it's misclassed in Sports Cars and the price tag is too high.

recently i found out that if you pit a cop car indirectly by just having a car between your car and the cop car, they will not get you a wanted level

But they will shoot at the driver in the middle car

Wow.

I found out you can move cars to different office garages without having to leave your office.

 

By selecting the car you want to move and pressing square (PS4) you can move it to one of the other offices.

 

This is great news as I'm currently sorting my garages into nationalities.

I just sort 'em by class.

One office garage for supers, one office garage for sports, and one for non-chopper motorcycles.

I wish I knew this. I spent well over an hour swapping cars around

Three goodies found out tonight goin' up the rapids with the ol' Aqua Blazer (in foreground, right. and yes, I put white walls on it, so shaddap!).

1. Got Behind a Waterfall
The Aqua Blazer lets you go "up" the smaller waterfalls, but while trying to get up on of the bigger ones, my character fell off and landed in a tiny space behind the waterfall. I was really surprised, especially because it was quite cozy and dry in there. When I came out, I could not walk back in.

2. No Photos on the Aqua Blazer
I found this out the other night, but thought I'd add it. Yeah, I wasn't able to take photos while sitting on the Aqua Blazer. It would have been nice because I had the high beam headlights on the sign in the picture below, but when I got off, the high beams went off. Turning on vehicle lights only turned on reg. lights.

3. Boathouse On the Rapids

This is pretty far up the rapids, but there is a road nearby. I assume most of us have likely driven by this plenty of times, but I'd never seen it before, let alone from the backside. I was able to crawl all over it and check it out. I never would've found it without the Aqua Blazer, so right there, it was a good purchase.

I'll add that one thing I love about the Aqua B is that if you get stuck, you can toggle the wheels in/out and often get free. Very cool, indeed! Cheers!

@FW3 - you can do the same in the sea shark as well.

 

The main river you are talking about - you can get up the first two, but the 3rd one is too big for the shark

If you take your first right when you start going up that main river, you will come out near a huge waterfall, which is perfect for photo ops.

A few small waterfalls to get up as well before you reach it but.

You can stand behind that waterfall.

Seems a lot more than 800 RP to me.

[Nugsy]

Seems a lot more than 800 RP to me.

 

 

 

When you have completed 10 individual daily objectives you receive an extra bonus, quite separate from the 3 per day, the 7 day & 28 day bonuses.

This goes for 20, 30 etc up to 100 completed daily objectives.

Each has a bonus which can be quite large. I'd say that you got one of these on top of your 800RP for the daily.

 

You can check your progress through these. Pause > Stats > Awards > All awards > Page 10. You'll see you daily objectives awards and how you're doing.

For example my own 'Daily Duty' is on 95/100 for platinum. Only two days and I should get an extra $100k & 10,000RP.

 

[Edit] I just noticed it says on your screen that the 800RP is for 'Daily Duty'. I think the 800RP is for earning the award. The other big chunk is your 'bonus'. You got 20kRP & $20k for 20 daily objectives completed.

I've only just learned that these daily objectives are pretty lucrative. Especially when done consecutively. You get your daily awards, weekly, monthly, every 10 & the cash & RP for anything you've been required to do.

Edited January 12, 2017 by Nugsy

[Gettin up]

Yeah but I hardly ever do my daily objectives. This one happenened as an accident so I did not have any streak going on.

So you get bonus after every 20 daily objectives even if you don't do them in a row?

Every 10, however long they take. In a row isn't something most can do so there are these bonuses too.

Have they changed the handling of the Comet?

 

It handles MUCH better now than it used to be, the car is actually raceworthy now.

 

Although I have to say, it's tail happy handling is what made it fun to drive

just stumbled Sultan RS driving off right after i exported a car , but they drove too fast and i don't have time to jack it & attempting to drive it around

Could be that they gave it a downforce multiplier when the retro came out. Worth checking out. Someone able to see it in the files?

I had no idea you could go into the Zancudo radio towers!

A buddy was driving. I don't think there was a glitch, we just hopped the fence in an Insurgent and ran through the doors

Even though there's a sign that says THIS PROPERTY IS CLOSED TO THE PUBLIC, one can actually enter that tunnel in the Hills.

Downforce multiplier is only available to the Comet Retro, I'm talking about the modern Comet(the one in my sig).

 

I will test with and without the spoiler.

[Ethereal_NYC]

Great thread ive learned so much

 

Ok my turn;

 

You dont have to own a yacht to regenerate health in the hottub, i found someones unmarked yacht off the coast (i guess the player left) and was able to use the hottub to regen my health full

----

 

During the CEO mission where you accuire a cargobob from humane labs you can avoid the police choppers by just flying a buzzard and killing the guards protectin the cargobob. The only catch is you have to homing missle them from the max distance the buzzard can lock on with. The cargo wont get destroyed and youll only get 1 or 2 stars as opposed to goin in and getting 3 stars

----

 

There are loose weapons around the map ala single player. I found sticky bombs on the 1st floor in the tallest tower in the army base

 

Found antique dagger inside the abandoned mineshaft

 

Also i found a crowbar and hammer at different construction sites in vinewood hills

 

I wonder if someone has created a map for these?

------

 

You can just stand in the lobby of your CEO office without worry of being booted for being idle

-----

 

Proximity mines can kill a player even if you left the session

-----

 

You can call lester to remove wanted stars during the CEO challenge where you rob ATMS

-----

 

The ruiner2000 has infinite parachutes, you can jump, parachute, clip chute and relaunch it again and repeat

-----

 

Getting drunk till you pass out respawns you at the nearest hospital except if your in your MC clubhouse

-----

 

You can stand inside the back of the bucket in the utility vehicles

-----

 

If you are driving the pickuptruck with mounted guns you can fall from any height and the gunner wont get knocked out as long as you dont flip the vehicle

----

 

You cannot change to first person view after you picked up a prostitute and engaged in sex, your options are windshield view or back of car

---

 

You can snipe people even if they are out of view due to distance

----

 

You cannot buy molotov cocktails in ammunation

 

If i remember more ill share

[ATeaDaze]

You can pick up prostitutes in a police car. They'll panic and try to flee if you turn on the sirens.

They also scatter and run away if you drive up to them and hit the lights while they're on foot.

I created a followup video for this one...
