Things you didn't know about GTAO until now

[Classique]

I know this also counts for Story Mode, but you can drive the Clown Van in Online... Sooo I guess it's appropriate to post it here?

 

Anyway, the Clown Van's suspension emits some funny sounds when it drives over bumps.

It wasn't until recently during the Prison Break heist that I realized that if you fly the plane behind the jet fighter, not only will he not be able to shoot you but he doesn't really try to evade you. Just staying behind him until the ground crew escapes the prison then have the demolitions take him out prevents more of the jets from spawning and saves a lot of trouble.

I also only recently learned of the hidden mine shaft.

Ammo may be picked up in Freemode if you recently played a job. For example, you shoot a cop with any Pistol. If you played a Contact Mission, Survival or anything like that, you can run over the cop and pick up Pistol ammo, regardless of how much ammunition you have in reserves.

 

 

 

Also, if you have a three (or more) star wanted level, you can change the wanted music that plays by bringing up the character wheel, selecting a story character and backing out when it asks if you want to leave the session. Depending on where you are in the state determines what kind of wanted level music plays. If you're in Blaine County, you get songs like Crystal Maze or the music from the Third Way. If you're in the city, songs like Dark Robbery and North Yankton Memories play instead. The intensity of the score (how many instruments are used) is dictated by the wanted level: three stars, you hear the base song with five stars utilizing all instruments and sounds in the song.

If you are in a Duke o Death with flashing wanted stars and a cop drives across behind you they won't notice you. Not sure if it's because it has a shuttered/bullet proof rear window and it's the same with the Zentorno?

when you gear up on your Buckingham Swift you get faster as when you geared it down

[Non Funkable Token]

Got 2 new locations that I had never seen before in MC contracs:

 

-Stab City for Cracked. Lost Slamvan parked there. It was nice to drive it for a while until I got kicked

 

-O'Neill house for P.O.W.

 

Not saying these were added recently, but are kinda rare.

[whywontyoulisten]

You can do the hood sliding animation on the rear ramp of the Titan.

[beanzinapot]

Not sure if this one has been brought up yet I'm too lazy to look thru all the pages.

 

But I never realized how pointless body armour is till last night when I was playing with a few friends. Heavy armour only protects you from like 2 bullets *facepalm*

 

God only knows how much GTA$ I've wasted buying body armour in my 4 yrs of playing GTA:O lol

To tell you more, this works with every aircraft who have gear.

Except the Bombushka which gets no speed hit and a slight lift increase with the wheels out, per Gaffa.

 

There's a cargobob with open rear door in the El Burro tank supply GR mission, but you can't walk or drive in

During heist you have "Heist gear" option. And there's pilot headgear.

 

During Survivals, game actually advices you to kick AFK players. But this feature looks broken, since we had other player AFK, not the one game advices to kick.

This is a map that I made with all the Clubhouse Contracts:

 

Each contract has 3 versions, less Outrider. The location of your Clubhouse changes the probability of one version or another.

[mrfonzius]

I did not know they added the serial killer John Wayne Gacy as prison inmate.

 

 

 

 

 

Also when you bring the person to the house during P.O.W., when reaching the door or even while walking towards it he will suddenly die ( like having a heart attack or something lul). Cannot remember that this happened during previous events with x2 on contracts .

Not too long ago Ive found out that if you walk up to the biker contracts board in the clubhouse without being registered as an MC Prez the game will prompt you to press A/X/Whatever the button is on the keyboard to quickly register as one without going through the interaction menu.

I noticed something similar after blocking the door with a car ages ago...he just stood there and died.

Didn't know these guys could exchange position with other workers.. on PS4 btw

Yep, had that once before...ended up with an underwear-clad woman in the security guard's chair, the guard and supervisor guy at the table, and two guys in underpants actually inside each other. I can't remember what triggered it, but I know I'd done something unusual.

[mrfonzius]

Another fun fact about the Jailbreak contract: If you manage to stop and take over the bus too fast it may happen that the cop sitting in the back will not get out, he will still sit there while driving towards the destination and the inmates constantly try to shoot him. They will not hit him and he will get out as soon as you stop.

 

No clue what happens when you reach the destination, I crashed and he got out and ended up being shot. Also quite hard to take a pic of him while driving.

[EkaSwede]

Today I learned that inside some of the convenience stores there's a safe in them.

 

What a pity we can't crack those safes...

If you kill an NPC that's standing next to another one, there's a chance that the other NPC will get stained with the blood of the killed one.

 

[J-Scott-D]

I stopped my motorcycle to hop off/shoot one of the bad guys that chase you in the "Outrider" MC Contract Mission and a NPC to my left in car stopped, pulled out a pistol and engaged the bad guy as well! Well done, R*.

I'm guessing the thread will get flooded with Doomsday details, so I'll start it off unless there's a Doomsday Heist Edition of this thread. The green juice in the facility doesn't restore health. Also, it's conveniently placed right in front of a vending machine. Pay to win amiright?

No, there will be a "Ok what has the Doomsday Heist thing changed?" thread.

You can now open the backdoor of the Titan, Cargobob and Bombshuka through the interaction menu.

 

And yes you can haul vehicles with the Titan and Bombshuka(be advised that they crash everywhere inside the airplanes.

[Pedinhuh]

Comet Safari's machine guns are the same model, over-the-fenders of the JB700.

 

Needless to say that is an "upgrade" I will never add to my car.

Thank you sir..... you saved me the effort

 

Edit: Too late... rather than discussing things in the game we have just disovered despite playing for so long this will now become the Mecca for people to share their new Doomsday DLC discoveries....

 

People wonder why R* treat it playerbase like mugs....? Well that is because most of them are.

What is the most powerful weapon of the Vigilante? it's the backblast of the rocket booster! It can even send trucks flying! I HIGHLY recommend you to try it!

I believe by the time you're airborne the time has ran out already...

I don't know where to post this so I guess I will do it here:

I found 2 easter eggs so far:

- In second mission with Deluxos after you enter the car there always will be one blue surfer passing by. Those are Libyans from Back To The Future! (

).


- As Paramedics in cold storage mission you can find a pizza box on the operating table. Edited December 12, 2017 by Piro
