Yeah I've seen it too. Maybe it's the drop off in case another players steals the diamonds from you? 

I think whoever made the mission meant that to be the drop off, but changed it to the vineyard. Either that or they placed the prop and lost or forgot about it. My theory was they couldn't get the car to sit right for some reason, as it is half-embedded in the slope, and only levels off when the diamond carrier gets near. Boths cars/women exist at the same time.

Today I learned that you always lose money when you die.

 

$500 is stealthily removed from your bank account without any notification (if you deposit all of your cash to the bank)

However, if you have some cash on your hands, you will lose $1000 per death

You lose up to $10000 depending on how much cash you have on your person.

Those 10k muggings are the best. There’s nothing better than mugging some asshat and hoping your friends nearby don’t kill them before the mugger arrives.

 

Then, knifed. As you watch from the edge of your seat, vociferously cheering on the mugger once he gets in a vehicle. It’s like watching the final stretch of the Derby, and your underdog bet is gonna win.

I never knew NPCs could spawn in places where they are basically trapped. Like a balcony without stairs to it.

At the beginning it used to be five thousand per death for "Hospital Fees" back when all you could do was Contact Missions for twenty grand it drained your back account fast. It was chaged pretty sharpish.

Or when people had glitched Tanks and you used to send a Mugger who would then steal the Tank and joyride it killing everyone if you follow in Passive and didn't let him de-spawn.

Mugging is my favorite thing to do. Especially when someone is trying to take me down with a sniper or HL.

I've seen my mugger succesfully steal:
- hydra
- tank
- avenger
- moc
- blimp

(It works since those don't count as personal vehicles)

I was well aware of it for long time, in fact it probably drives me to avoid deaths more than potential k/d drop drives tryhards.

I found two npcs sitting in Jack Howitzer's motel room interior deep under Legion Square. No idea.

^I know about interiors like that yes. But I more meant outside and trapped.

That Scramjet can jump through a lot of walls and ceilings ...

[kcole4001]

I, uhh, found out the hard way that if you're practicing your Mk II gunnery against a helo, like a police maverick for example, stay away from the blades, 'cause they'll kill you instantly if you get too close. 

That's Opressor MkII, just to be clear.

So that was you eh asswhole (sic) ?? f*cking mugger pulled me outta my Phantom Custom once and drove off with it.

[kcole4001]

R* can't count, really they can't.

Education system's fooked.

 

My CEO office (Maze Bank west) has either 12 or 13 floors, depending on whether you count the half floor roof section.

When I get off the elevator at the office, the counter says '25'.

When I go back to the elevator to leave, it says '21'.

Also all three levels of my garages are on floor '25'.

Saw something odd and funny last night. Had just joined a new session after a heist when some random player sends a mugger after me. Which I spot and shoot. So I send a mugger after him and nothing happens. A friend from my heist finds the random hanging out by the pier in his car. So I go take a look. The random is in his car on pause while the mugger is patiently waiting for him outside his car. Knife drawn.

You can't spawn the SuperVolito for free as a CEO if you buy the Carbon version. I learned that the expensive way

[HamwithCheese]

The terrorbyte is called "hacker truck" on the warstock page.

 

Also, each vehicle on a website has a number at the end of it's url. I wonder if it's the order of which that vehicle was finished or added onto the website. For example, the rhino is #3 on warstock.

I got chopped to pieces by the rotorblades of a police helicopter when zooming around on the MkII minding my own business. The police chopper spawned right on my ass, game said I commited suicide to boot. 

Second time I got chopped to pieces was while doing High Priority Case. Zoomed up high to treat the npc's to some missiles and heard a noise I didn't like. The NPC Frogger that normally flies around Maze tower in freeroam came near and chopped me up. Never knew that heli flies around during contact missions too. Obviously, I was an overripe tomato seconds later....

The building / lot / location at which our insured personal vehicles spawn after they've been destroyed and calling Mors Mutual Insurance, isn't the right building. 

In fact I couldn't find any reference in that immediate area to Mors Mutual or Insurance or anything - only that it's outside / right next to the Vapid building. 

 

Here's the actual Mors Mutual Insurance building... I guess Rockstar figured that it'd be madness to have 16 player vehicles here (let alone 30).

It's also called Hacker in the files. The B-11 Strikeforce is referred to as just "Strikeforce," and the latest Blimp is "Blimp3" right after Blimp (the Atomic Blimp) and Blimp2 (the Xero Blimp)

Turns out that the 3x Marshall Ful lBunker Sale CAN be done solo if you have the Chumash Bunker AND the drop-off points are on Banham Canyon.

 

[Frank ツ]

Im not sure if this has been posted before or anywhere else and i cant be bothered to check.

 

But if you want your character to automaticly put the helmet on on the opressor (mk2) just like a normal bike , hit the pause menu as soon your character jumps on the opressor, wait 1 sec or 2 then exit the pasue menu , you see he has/puts his helmet on.

If you push the VIP NPCs who are holding coffee cups during the promotion missions, they will drop the cup, and instantly spawn a new one in their hand.

I didn't know until last week that there's a way to spawn the aircraft carrier into a XBox360 session at the spot it's anchored at in the Hydra mission. It should be there all the time. Was fun exploring the different areas including the bridge. The person that designed the bridge needs to have his head examined. Apparently he never saw a movie or a picture of what a carrier bridge should look like. You don't just populate it with chairs, computers, tables and consoles.

[nido997]

didn´t know that you can enter the Bunker with an Oppressor MkII (well it´s actually logical since it s considered as a bike) , but once you hit the throttle in the bunker you´ll fly outside (so you can´t fly with it in the bunker)

another one : If you win a race , and some noobs just refuse to vote so that you´re forced to close the game and relog , you won´t get the win even if you already recieved the money for it !!!???? what the ....

So maybe not something I just learned, but I totally forgot how much stuff there is to do in story mode. I'm going back to cleanup achievements after playing online the past 2 years, and wow, aside from the lack of certain flying vehicles, story mode is world's better than online. 

[Gridl0k]

Akula has 8 missiles in its pods, which count down and then magically refill as you fire.
