Things you didn't know about GTAO until now

Theres a decal with a red arrow saying 'danger' pointing toward the buzzards tail rotor. I swear that wasnt there before..

I think that's been there for a while, actually. Speaking of Buzzards, I just realised the unarmed one that spawns at police stations and flying above Vinewood at night has a classic black paint, unlike the attack chopper's metallic and the CEO/MC matte black.

I found out recently the office assistant starts screaming and freaking out when there's a lot of sh*t going on outside (friend was in a hydra shooting the window at the level I was looking out of). I have the male assistant and he started yelling in spanish, caught me off guard and made me laugh a bit.

^^ FWIW, Pegasus Buzzards are also metallic black (not just the randomly spawning ones, such as the Merryweather base).

Didn't know it is posdible to get a matte black armored boxville (with all of it's 'armour' still on it)

 

Will post pic soon...

You mean an Armored Boxville that has matte black as its secondary color? The turret being black and the "inner chassis" being black as well?

 

Then yes, that's the Personal Vehicle one given to owners. I really love the matte black on it compared to the tan color on the VIP work one.

Played a lot of fortified , that one is yellow-ish. But I defenitely love the black paint... just wish it was more armoured and have bp tires. But nice to shove things out of the way ! Edited February 7, 2017 by Goingcrowd9

Don't know if this has been mentioned before but lung capacity also determines how high your character can dive from a platform into water without triggering the ragdoll physics.

Those ragdoll physics, they really need to get thicker skin.

im almost 100% sure its the strength stat that determines that.

 

just like when you have very low strength you would jump a small wall and you faceplant, but when you fill the strength bar you can jump the same wall without facepalming.

[lost-in-emotions]

and the stronger you are, the faster you climb up ladders ;-)

[Pedinhuh]

You dont need to aim and fire a missile/rocket at the fuselage/bodywork of a helicopter to bring it down, if the rocket/missile hits the rotor blades, it will be enough to blow up any helicopter.

 

If you are in a hurry to take down a helicopter, knowning this and how to strafe with a RPG/HML is great for that.

[Sneakerhead.]

Female characters with fully maxed stats run faster than male characters.

Really? I've never compared.

That can't be true my female's always in heels and runs like a duck.

[Semaj 2JZ♢]

The Ruiner missiles, at least in the SV mission, have wicked turn radius'. I've done it 3 or 4 times now and all missiles always just struck objects like normal. However, today my mate was shooting at a Bob in the base the same time as I did. His missile hit the Bob, but mine went underneath...I thought damn, but as I watched, that little missile turned into a f*cking hornet and did like 3 or 4 tight little circles around the 'bobs body and then struck home. Like, WHOA! Not even a Lazer is going to be able to dodge that...

I learned something last night. If your on a motorcycle and hold (A) and press left or right bumper, it'll do a karate kick to the side.

[Nugsy]

I only learned this week that when you're a passenger in a helicopter that has a surveillance camera, if you use the camera & then fire your weapon, you shoot where the camera's looking.

 

I accidentally found this & thought for a moment that a regular helicopter had been equipped with guns. It was my AP.

[blaer]

never knew you can make yourself invisible during beast mode

and i still dont know if its enough to press it once or pess and hold the button the entire time lol

Yup, came along with bikers. If you're holding a weapon, you'll whack with it

If you hold A while unarmed & then switch from bumper to bumper you're in for a chuckle.

Reading through this thread always reminds me that despite some flaws here and there, this game truly is a masterpiece. A whole masterpiece aside from the masterpiece that is GTA V.

Don't really think that's true otherwise when completely necessary during a gta race, sometimes players may have to run to the finish. It would be an unfair advantage of females were faster. From what I've seen, they're identical.

The game charges $10 for calling players via phone, wut.

It charges money for renting a stock car in races as well.

Had the CEO office for a long time but it was only when I began the headhunter missions over the last few months did I realize that you can take your smoking Buzzard to the CEO office and land in office for the damaged Buzzard to get repaired for your next trip.

Female characters actually do run faster. Male characters however have more strength.

I'm actually glad for this ability. Meelee attacks while on a bike? Outstanding! Doubt it will be added to story mode but oh well.

Oh wow, finally something I really didn't know about GTAO in this thread.

very likely the person with the female switched to first person.

 

one runs faster in first person

This discussion pops up every now and then since late 2013.

Test for yourself. I did - more than once - and female characters are noticeable faster with and without 1st person view.

And I can't remember where I'd read it but some1 said it was because of the Euphoria physics engine GTA V uses and the difference in body mass between a male and female character.

Also, if you play on PC with v-sync off and a high framerate like +90 fps the difference is even bigger. I guess that's what you see in the clip. On consoles with a locked 30fps the difference is smaller.

When you're using the cinematic camera moving the right stick will change camera angles.
