Things you didn't know about GTAO until now

Secondary paint job on the Rapid GT convertible paints the seatbelts.

 

 

I believe this wasn't a option on last gen?

Just discovered that you can survive an RPG rocket if you have full health, full armor and BST activated.

 

You must also be rank 100+

 

Haha good point, I forgot that lol.

Rocket Launcher or Homing Launcher? I know that i can surive a Homing Launcher as you said, but not a Rocket Launcher.

 

Good point, I think it was a homing launcher, was surprised that I survived that I didn't even pay attention to which one it was

It could be my imagination, but while every other AI resident runs screaming when I either get too close to them in my car or pull a weapon in their presence, the old Asian lady never gives a damn and keeps walking. I hope this is intentional, because I think it's fantastic.

You hear a few beeps to notify you that you are about to be kicked from the session for idling. It sounds like the countdown for the job lobby startup, just higher pitched.

believe it or not, today was my very first time seeing a female cop in GTA ! :

 

 

weird that she starts shooting some NPCs down yelling : "that´s what you get when you f*** with the LSPD "

she could be working stationary at the Police station nearby (next to the bridge)

The Bombushka is not available in races, and here I spent $5mill on a race spec Bombushka smh

I just heard apparently there's some flight formation thing? And it can heal you (or maybe your aircraft, not sure)?

 

I need to be less of a lone wolf lol. That could be so good potentially, for a pair of heli pilots.

Flight formation is similar to riding formation for MCs.

 

AFIK it only heels the player not the vehicle.

Ah, not such a big deal then. Thanks anyway.

 

I was thinking two smoking aircraft could just fly off together, then come back good as new.

Try it, I'm not 100% sure but didn't notice that happening.

[Professional Amateur]

If you screw up a landing in the Alpha-Z1 and break a wing off, it becomes light enough to push around:

 

 

It doesn't like it when you fall over, though:

THat's a shame. Imagine the possibilities if there was no limits to how broken an aircraft could be and then fully repaired.

 

Guy A: "Guys, I accidentally clipped my wing!"

Guy B&C: "Quickly, into formation!"

*plane repairing noise*

Guy A: "Thanks, fellas, the wing's back!"

This one is probably talked about before as well, but when Parachuting is on your Daily Objective(s) and as the last objective to do, they have this special animation for female characters once the Parachute activity is complete as it shows your results. I wish I can pull it up some way to show a visual. If I remember correctly, I think you may have to gain all 15 points for each target you go through or at least score.

The Cargobob can hook the trailer in the Gunrunning selling mission.

Another woman cop you can see is in the mission "Chopper Tail". When taking the Granger back to Trevor's trailer, if you stick to the route, you find a female cop on a police bike.

A couple of things I learned from other heist vets:

 

In the Humane Labs Valkyrie setup, you can pick up a heli at the helipad. I usually grab it and pick up the rest of the team. We land on the roof instead and pick off the buzzard and all the NPCs we can.

 

In the Prison Break plane setup, you can get on the roof of the hangar (get your car under the vent on the back side of the building and jump up on it). Once you're up there, if you have a heavy sniper with explosive rounds, you can pretty much own any vehicles before they have a chance to clutter up the runway.

There are also female police in the police station during the MC work POW.

Another thing regarding parachutes, the Parachute Jump, "Construction Bail," starts you off from the top of the Mile High construction tower rather than a helicopter. You also do a little dive animation when you jump from at the start of the job. That same dive animation can be seen when you jump from the Titan in the flight school challenge, "Chase Parachute." Will post images soon.

I love that little dive animation, kinda makes me feel I'm about to do a leap of faith.

[⁣V⁣]

You can drop a limited amount of weapons. Because we tried doing contact missions 2013-style. Gauntlet, Pistol and Assault Rifle only (plus some grenades).

 

So, while dropping all weapons I met this:

Funny you mention that! There are only two unique parachute jumps that begin with the swan dive. One has already been mentioned, Construction Bail and the other is called, literally, Leap of Faith! You dive off of the cable car stop roof on Mt. Chillad.

 

I created a discussion on it a while back

Just noticed last week that the office assistant changes outfits occasionally.

Just noticed last week that the office assistant changes outfits occasionally.

They also wear different outfits depending on what interior scheme you've chosen. They'll wear a more classical style of outfit with the Old Spice theme for example.

[Pedinhuh]

They completed messed up the armor on the CEO Buzzard:

 

Now it takes 3 direct hit from a RPG to blow it up;

 

But it only takes one homing missile to blow it up;

(Wasn't homing missiles weaker than RPGs?)

 

Takes about 5 HE shots when occupied to blow it up.

 

It still has the same armor for everything else(normal bullets, collisions).

 

The f*ck happened to it?

[Piro]

You can attract your own missiles



I noticed that after killing myself accidentally...

No, you're right, it can. I tested it back when SR first was released with a friend. I'd read about it in the patch notes so we tried it, I flew behind my friend who was in a damaged, smoking Rogue (we had been having a dogfight). Really quickly his plane stopped smoking and we carried on, just having multiple dogfights but forming up when one of us was about to die to reheal.

I did not know associates can remote open the limo door for their CEO.

I was trying to get in CEO Turreted limo turret by holding triangle but instead I opened up my CEO's door. We then tested it out a bit. You can even do it while inside car.

 

 

[Jamwes]

You can drop a limited amount of weapons.

During a prison heist I found out that dropping ammo counts as a weapon. I dropped a bunch of ammo for my friend, but couldn't drop a gun.
