Things you didn't know about GTAO until now

[Gridl0k]

Yeah that's not the range.

 

You can't auto-aim onto other players or NPCs using guns in the passenger seat of the Ruiner 2000, or was it just buggy for me?

 

 

Didn't matter in the end though

The Osirus emblem is transparent and glows when you turn the headlights on...

Apparently my character holds shotgun shells like a retard . . .

Recycled anims from the Marksman Pistol

Normally she'd be holding a single cartridge between her thumb and forefinger.

[Gridl0k]

Actually you do kinda load a shotgun like that (when speed matters), especially an over/under. Not quite, but close, so a good recycle from r*

Some cars like the T20 actually have active aero, and I'm not just talking about the wing. Notice how the suspension gets lower at high speeds.

Think that's pretty much with all cars

 

 

 

 

Except a Tractor.

 

 

And a lawnmower

For those like me that might have previously missed it, just noticed that at least someone at R* has a sense of humor (and the truth):

Only done it once, but when chased by cops you can hide inside the police station garage (the door closes) until your wanted level disappears.

[DentureDynamite]

^^ Sometimes this works, sometimes it doesn't (can depend on your wanted level).

 

Thankfully, there are other such garage doors around the map--pays to memorize their location.

 

Mentioned it before, but there are also some undisclosed bugs in odd places for getting rid of even five-star wanted levels that will remain undisclosed until I die.

 

You may then interrogate me freely.

the cargobob uses JP-4 fuel...

 

fun fact, the USAF stopped using this type of fuel back in 1995!

[Gridl0k]

I'd pay quite a lot for a JP-7 upgrade

[PaletoJoe]

Probably been said before but, i knew about the limousines spawning in various places, however I had never seen a pink one spawn outside cockatoos at night time before

I've just discovered this morning that you can buy shoes at Ammunation...most of you probably know this and even more probably don't care...I don't even care apart from the fact that I never knew this until just now.

 

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

 

Also a couple of weeks back someone mentioned in a thread that they hate having to go into the pause menu to take off a gps that they were not using...until I told them that you can select "none" in the quick menu.

 

Has anyone else recently discovered something that may be of some use to me or anyone else that doesn't know about?

I had absolutely no idea about the shoes section in ammunation. Totally useless but kinda funny fact

What language is that? Seems like a neat easter egg

just filler text designers use that's meant to be replaced with actual text in the final version, but little things here and there get missed all the time ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[Furry_Monkey]

They could at least have been vaguely creative and used Bacon Ipsum.

[Norman_Greige]

The nonsense copy is hilarious, and sort of shocking given the attention to satirical detail that for me is a hallmark of the game. My company uses it all the time so maybe it's an inside joke among the graphic designers.

 

Was watching a French streamer who happens to be one of the best combat players I'd ever seen. Just killing all comers with a variety of weapons and in a variety of ways. So smooth. Showed me how to climb things I didn't realize were climbable and did this move where he inched off a high ledge against a building wall and descended down the side as if he were taking an invisible elevator. I've yet to achieve it.

In the field of graphic design (my professional field), this is known "Lorem Ipsum," Greek text used it as a dummy placeholder until final copy is submitted by the client.

 

With so much content flowing through the game, it's not surprising that one of their copy content editors likely put this in place with the intent of replacing it, but likely forgot.

 

As a designer, it's frickin' hysterical and makes me love GTAV even more than I did this morning. Thanks for this one, @lost-in-emotions, it actually made my day!

 

EDIT: oops. didn't see Red Dagger's reply above. Kudos!

I work in software development, and I too laughed when I saw it.

 

My guess is that it was left in on purpose to see how many people would notice it.
