If you hit the map border in the Ultralight, it just kills the engine and then explodes (whilst other aircraft get a wing broken off after the engine dies.)

This isn't something that I didn't know, it's more something I think other people don't.

 

You can turn off the beeping when you get a job invite. In the phone, it's in the middle right icon.

 

In every video I see, that annoying beeping is present. I turn it off every time I load the game just so it doesn't piss me off.

[Non Funkable Token]

Most of the icons don't show on the radar when you spawn in your bunker (set as predefined spawn location). It's not like these icons become hidden, they are supposed to show as normal, but they don't.

 

It can be easily fixed in the interaction menu by just setting them as hidden, then visible again. You have to do that every time you spawn in your bunker, so it can be a bit annoying. Maybe is a PC only issue, tho.

Same here the random beeping drives me nuts, plus I put my phone on silent so i can just button the STUPID assistant trying to force the office garage down my throat, I don't want one get the message!

Everytime you get an invite the phone beeps at you to let you know.

^ I went the other way fwiw, turned off notifications (the popups above the map) but kept the sounds. Works for me.

Benny's Retro white walls have white on both the inside and outside of the tyre.

[polaris23]

Landed in a nice back yard on my Oppressor. Never saw these before.

 

Wow thats so cool. Never knew that was there either. I just visited the house based on your mini map and I also love the little pond they have on the other side of the house. Reminds me of Donald Love's rooftop in GTA III

Huh, I've never noticed.

^^^ have you checked the batteries of your fire alarm recently?

Hm? Yeah I've seriously never noticed this and can't even imagine the kind of beep y'all talking about.

It's not exactly subtle. It's louder than the explosions half the time.

[whywontyoulisten]

It's a tiny beep that sounds once when you get a text. It's not loud through the controller, but for some reason it's deafening if I get a call in the middle of one of my "Share" saved videos. What pisses me off more is that they added a controller vibrate to game invites.

You've obviously never done crate missions then; one of the "shipment's been hijacked" single van pickups takes place here.

Probably mentioned before, but the fly at the meth lab..... Nice easter egg

[Big Molio]

I never knew that the memorial outside of Zancudo was just filled with the name "John Doe"

[whywontyoulisten]

I didn't know you could get in the back of an NPC's car:

 

 

 

Or that Merryweather paratroops could lock chutes and spiral to their doom (it has happened in real life):

wait, i'm new to these forums, is this a well-known recurring event?

 

I thought it was just coincidental that 9/10 lobbies I join have at least one person with a beeping smoke detector

 

i have messaged the culprits on multiple occasions to inform them their battery needs to be changed, but that has so far had a 0% success rate

Touché lol.

 

p.s. My housemate just set off all three smoke alarms cooking their roast dinner. One is right outside my door; it's a shame I wasn't online.

Faggio is actually meant to be pronounced Fa-joe not Fag-gee-oh

Most people seem to pronounce it “fagg-ee-oh”, which R* knew the illiterates who play this game would, haha, but of course you’d use the Italian pronunciation: “fazh-ee-oh”, although Italians will typically elide the “ee” sound to “fa-zho”. There’s a joke hidden, (or not so hidden), in almost every car name in this game.

 

L1 and R1 cycle missile locks on the jet as well as the Buzzard btw.

This works on any locking missile, on any vehicle, (Ruiner, Savage, Oppressor, AA Trailer, etc...), and also with Homing Launchers. This is critical, especially on the ground, because the cops will always pull harder on your lock-on than the jerk you’re trying to kill does.

I’m sure everyone already knows it works with all locking weapons, but the thumb-stick is probably faster.

 

-Holding A or X while eating a snack makes you take three bites of it, granting more health.

Works with beer, too. Instead of taking a swig and tossing the bottle, you drink down the whole thing.

 

This game is boring.

That’s because you don’t have any friends.

 

Here in the UK, we have a show called the Apprentice

Here in the US, we also had a show called The Apprentice. Things didn’t work out too well for us.

 

If I remember right about the helmets, this only works with the ones your character puts on while riding a motorcycle and not that you add from your inventory.

Only with motorcycle helmets. Your bullet-proof helmets, of course, always give you protection.

 

Tanks don't spawn in Zancudo anymore.. I've stolen 8 jets this week and haven't seen one Rhino spawn next to the hanger. I could be lucky or they're really gone.

They do. Saw a couple yesterday.

 

As for calling 911, this is handy in the Prison Break setup where you have to get a cop car. We drive over to the Rooftop Rumble garage, call 911, and a single squad car shows up. We take it, then we just drive it into the river, into the nearby tunnel, and wait out the short wanted level. Then it’s just a couple of blocks to the Police Station. Quick and easy.

On my Oppressor (xb1 with alt handbrake) it would fold the wings in and fire a missile, not cycle targets. Annoys me.

Why did you quote a million posts from 2014? Of course none of that is relevant anymore, it's f*cking 3 years later.

[N. Man]

It can be easily fixed in the interaction menu by just setting them as hidden, then visible again. You have to do that every time you spawn in your bunker, so it can be a bit annoying. Maybe is a PC only issue, tho.

It's on console too. It also happens with Hangars. However if you just toggle the blip visibility, the blips will still appear while you're doing events like resupply missions.

 

Also the phone display has a lighting effect

One, I never look at the dates on posts. Two, they’re all still relevant except the Rhino one. Three, do you have a delete key?

[FrankTheWeedGuy]

i just found out you can use guns to melee on motorcycles, not just melee weapons
