Things you didn't know about GTAO until now

[kovaandr]

I just noticed that in smugglers crate missions your pursuers actually change the type of vehicle they follow you with.

 

For example in one mission I picked up the crate on foot, the enemies spawned in in a heli as usual, I shot them down and got in my Hydra to make my way back to my hangar.

Before I could take off the second wave of helis spawned but I decided to ignore them an flew away.

As soon as the game despawned them because I was to fast and to far away, it immediatly spawned Molotoks instead of froggers to chase me.

 

(It was a solo public session, so nobody messed with anything)

I've seen Froggers being replaced with Buzzards mid-mission, but not jets.

You can air drop your sourced smuggling cargo on the roof of your hangar if you don't feel like landing to your aircraft in the corona.

 

Quite handy if you're on a pinch or your aircrafts sucks to land(LF-22 Starling, Tula, Mongul...)

 

But takes a lifetime to fall. At least on PC (maybe a bug).

^ too high

[Jamwes]

In the mission Cleaning the Cat House, you can use the ramp in front of the apartment complex to land on top of the roof with your car, and Amy, the girl you're supposed to be rescuing, will walk all the way to your car. If you land it, she will go all the way up. If you hit the rooftop, but then fall off, which happened in my case, she will go out of her way to walk all the down and get in. In my case, she teleported into my car once she made it down, for whatever reason. I knew you could do this with a helicopter by landing it on the roof, but I never thought of using a car, and it's much quicker.

 

Neat trick. I'll have to try it some time. Usually I just drive up, under her room. When she says something, she'll come running. When the lost say something, just back up to the stairs. You can easily stay far enough from the guard there to not spook him. Once she's in the car, we're off to the races. Only have to shoot/ram/avoid maybe 6 bikers.

 

To keep this on topic, I just figured out Anna doesn't come up the stairs to the roof if the Tula's wing is blocking it. Got shot up while moving that boat around and ended up crashing in the park near Madrazo's place.

Plus you can drop it and miss the hangar; I had to rescue mine from the top of one of the ventilation units.

I just remembered that the jet pack back in GTA:SA was a $60,000,000 project.

 

Converting that value for today's inflation, it would cost $105,046,555.47.

 

Equalling $1314 worth of Megalodon Shark Cards.

(Considering the price of one Megalodon to be $100,00)

 

Doesn't really seems too far fetched, considering the paywalls creeping-in that has been going in this game in the last years...

You can break the windows on the left hand side of the Velum, but not the right.

[REXX]

In Cleaning the Cathouse you have both normal and MKII Pistol's in your weapon wheel.

[gnomefromnome]

Stealing a Technical for Bunker Supplies, the first wave is helicopters. Once you get close to the bunker, it'll be Kuruma's.

[N. Man]

In any job mode, especially deathmatches, you will have the normal variant of a Pistol, SMG, etc. in the wheel, but as soon as you select them, they return to their Mk.II variant.

 

 

To avoid a dpuble-post, I'm just gonna drop something I just found out. The Half-Track's gunner is essentially god. The stock Half-Track gun has ridiculous range and they are protected from the front. They are vulnerable from the top, back and if you can do it, under.

No.

 

If you are an Organization, the enemies comes in Buzzards and Kurumas.

If you are a Biker Club, the enemies comes in a Froggers and bikes.

If you steal a truck hauling a trailer with a boat on it, you can back the trailer into the water and launch the boat.

[Jamwes]

Apparently flares from my Havok can be used in the crate sourcing mission where you need to drop a flair for the air drop. Just gotta land the flares in the activation circle.

[Gridl0k]

If you steal a truck hauling a trailer with a boat on it, you can back the trailer into the water and launch the boat.

 

You can also mow down other players while in passive

[EggsAndJam]

If you have thermal vision equipped when launching a race, it will stay active through the selection screens.

Goes back to normal in the race though

 

 

 

[LeakyLine]

You get a 4 star wanted level if you walk past the metal detectors inside the AC tower on Fort Zancudo.

 

Even if you have clearance to roam around there.

You also get four stars for driving inside a certain garage near the right-most hangar

[Piro]

Be careful when you exit a broken Tula

[Prince_Polaris]

I usually just drive the entire thing in the water, then bail out and hop in the boat!

 

Oh, and it seems to be super glitchy when you have a friend sitting in the boat, cause last time we tried that the boat exploded... on his end, supposedly, it was jammed inside the truck lol

[no_snacks]

After all this time, I just realised the Hydra has 4 sets of landing gear. Figured it just had 3 until I saw the big one in the centre of the fuselage.

[gtafan26]

You get free cab rides and without having to lose a wanted level during any mission or supply run or anything that disables the cops and wanted system

That a DLC car and a DLC plane pretty much share the same name.

 

Albany Alpha & Buckingham Alpha-Z1

[Pedinhuh]

The Carbine MK2 with AP rounds is God-like in PvP, shame about the limited ammo carry though...But I kind of like it like that.

[CyborgZombieJesus]

I didn't know that you can walk directly into your business defense event. I own the cocaine factory by Stab City. I fly over to my factory to sell my product, and as soon as I became a president, a bunch of IAA npcs spawned around me and got a call from Lester telling me my business is under attack. They didn't attack immediately, but after I started shooting, they demolished me. I shut off the console either out of pure rage or shock, but I'm not sure if my product is still there. 1 liek=1 gram of coke r.i.p. in piece

if you died then your supplies and stock will be gone but you will still have your business upgrades. Spending less time as ms pre lowers the possibility of raids Edited September 11, 2017 by CyborgZombieJesus

That's the Submersible, the Kraken only spawns if a player calls Pegasus for it.

yeah sorry , you re right . but still , didn´t know that the Submersible spawns there too ( besides on that "beach" near Humane Labs)

[kovaandr]

The submersible also spawns at the Merryweather Dock and at Michaels Dock from Story Mode.

 

(There are proably more spawnpoints, but I don't know them all by heart)
