Things you didn't know about GTAO until now

[REXX]

 

You can sit on the custom Phantom, just behind the cab.

You mean in the sleeper bunk?

You can sit on the sleeper and the left or right side behind the cab.

[dead goon]

Yes. On the steps.

[Gridl0k]

You can sit in the hitch plate thingy*, same as the Phantom Wedge. Not the sleeper (back part of the cab), the chassis. And use heavy weapons, which is nice.

I haven't noticed this billboard until today. Started wondering if it's new or just have been there all the time.

 

If it's indeed new. Could that be a hint of what new dlc:s that's upcoming?

 

 

Radioactive hillbilly mutants in the desert similar to "The Hills Have Eyes"?

Ahh right thanks gridlock

 

It's called a fifth wheel, just in case you want to be a truck driver anytime soon

[whywontyoulisten]

You can change from the cockpit to the turret of the Mogul even when it's upside-down and "destroyed".

 

Edit: You can also raise and lower the gear even with a wing off.

If you park your car behind a wall, passing NPCs will take a picture of the wall.

If you have an AA-trailer with the dual Flak guns, you can destroy someone's MOC trailer with just 6 shots. Its explosion damage value has been multiplied by 4. This, in theory means that it can destroy a Rhino Tank in one or two explosions.

A Rhino is more explosive resistant than an Insurgent? I know AA can oneshot Insurgents.

I had no idea the Hydra has a livery. I always thought it was just really dirty. Lol

That's actually the vehicle's "paint fade." I'm sure there's a real name for it in the files, but that's just what Menyoo calls it. The paint fade is essentially a light rust overlay that can be adjusted. By default a vehicle's paint fade is set to 0.30, if set all the way up, no color applied will show up, just a rust texture, if turned all the way down, any color applied will be highly visible. Only some vehicles, like the Tank, Hydra, Titan, etc. are affected by paint fade.

 

Far right is max paint fade, middle is 0.30 paint fade and left is no paint fade. I applied a classic black paint onto the tanks. Excuse the lack of the tank camo, that's just a mod

I had someday ago a similar thing...

Don't know how its exactly startet,

but i think i only honked at the pier,

the NPC gets in panic and drove over ^^

 

Never knowed that this could be happen.

 

 

[SmokesWithCigs]

 

....because he had it coming

[Tekno_Gecko]

Alright, so i'm 70 days in right, across 2 platforms and i only found out yesterday that if you're underground, mineshaft, subway or whatever you can open the map and press back button to expand the map back to its regular size showing the underground tunnels over the top.

 

70 days of playtime later, only just figured that out. Always thought it was R*'s map design...

[Sanches]

I got Trevor's animations while playing Survival today. That's odd.

[Black-Dragon96]

You can use your bosses moc gunlocker (there is a gunlocker in the moc whem you have a weapons and vehicles customs bay) if your character owns a gunlocker himself.

Neat.

[secrecy274]

It seems "bulletproof" helmets are "fallproof" as well...

 

 

[jdv95]

so i was f*cking around in my moc against the cops for like 15 minutes,and all of a sudden i got a "busted" screen pop up.

 

i spawned right infront of the police department.

 

didn't know this could happen at all.

 

so they do have a busted mechanic in online,so why don't they use it in other cases like when i'm on foot or in a car?

 

is it because the cops can't kill you while you're in the moc trailer?

Yes, you get "busted" in one of the MC resupplying missions too, you respawn in front of the police station, no animations for it though.

If you hold the airbrakes open on the Pyro whilst someone ejects, the canopy will remain open until you retract them.

You can shoot prostitutes in the head if you are in 1st person view. So you can go for a ride with a dead body on passenger's seat.

And players

 

Used to do it a couple of years ago to low ranks. They thought they were being helped to escape from cops, little did they know they were walking straight into a .50 round to the head so I could unlock an award

Did they patch the player one? I had a random enter my vehicle the other day, he was a bit of a dick tbh; so I went to kill him like you did, but I wasn't able to shoot him. He wasn't in passive due to him shooting the police on it.

Not sure to be honest. Can't remember the last time I did it Did the reticule turn red?

[Verstappen]

Think I once shot Leroy in the back of the van while driving during that Lamar CM.

Dont think I've been able to kill other people with a gun in my own car. If this was possible before I think it must've been before heists.

[Dacelo]

Chiming in to say I don't remember a time when you could shoot people in your car, maybe on last gen? I never played it on PS3/X360.

Can't really remember if it did or not. I have a feeling it did turn red, but I'm not entirely sure. I know I could shoot him once I got out of the vehicle, but not inside of it. Kinda a bummer if they patched it awhile back, tbh.
