Things you didn't know about GTAO until now

[Pedinhuh]

I found out a few things experimenting with the Cargobob and the AA Trailer with SAM battery:

 

-The Cargobob won't drop the hook when you're flying it in passive mode, however, you can drop the hook first and then trigger passive mode;

 

-If you connect the Sadler with the AA Trailer and then try to hook the Sadler, you won't airlift the AA Trailer with it, they get unhooked soon as the Cargobob hooks to the truck;

 

-The Cargobob won't hook with the AA trailer while in passive mode no matter what, the hook scratches and slides through the trailer but it won't hook.

 

-The Cargobob CAN hook with the AA Trailer if it's not on passive mode but mind you, it won't stay hooked for long, it will barely last enough to drop it off the rooftop of a mid-rise building...Good for setting camp against Oppressors, Deluxos and some helicopters while you do Stand Your Ground though...Maybe it's possible to bring it to a Yatch too.

 

-The AA Trailer doesn't seems to be heavy to airlift, even though it won't be hooked for long, I can gain altitude with the Cargobob easily, doesn't seems to lose speed either.

Can you push the trailer in the back of an Avenger?

Nope, I tried that too, the trailer despawns as soon as you request the Avenger, the game literally kicks you out of the Trailer.

 

And you can't request the Trailer while the Avenger is spawned.

 

The same should apply for the MOC.

So I just figured that although the Declasse Sabre Turbo is... a Sabre Turbo, the badge(s) on the car actually say "Sabre GT". Probably a direct port over from GTA IV. 

Not a big thing but since it's introduction in Vice City, I can't help but think it's name will change again for GTA VI.

Oh, right, the old personal vehicle thing.

Makes sense, can't have too much fun!

While watching a stream I found out the the Post Op vans used in MC sales go up hills much faster in REVERSE!

Nice logic, R*!

This actually makes sense:

 

Usually the first gear has a ratio that is shorter than the reverse gear, this gives it more torque but sacrifices top speed you can reach on the gear.

 

The Post OP Vans can only go up hills on first gears and if they shift up to second gear, they will immediately shift down to first again, losing speed in the process...The reverse has enough torque to keep the van going uphill while maintaining speed since it won't downshift.

 

I used to do some moderate off roading back in day I lived in the countryside, I could only tackle some hills with my father's under powered VW Bug if I were going in reverse.

If you set a bounty on someone and they change sessions if someone in that new session kills them you get a phone call from Lester and a notification saying who claimed it even if you aren't in their session.

That part makes sense/

 

However, the problem is that if the drivetrain produces enough power and torque to be able to handle a slope in reverse, it can handle that slope in 2nd gear as well.

2nd gear will probably be just above the reverse ratio, but not so much as to drop out of the power band.

I know, it's a reality argument!

 

But in reality these P vans have loads of power and torque, they are not the anemic 'larger surfer van' that R* portrays them as.

 

Their acceleration is nowhere near as bad as the game version either, anyone seen a UPS, Purolator, or the myriad of other courier vans pull away in traffic?

If the driver puts the hammer down they will get up and go.

 

Sorry for the rant, but it just really bugs me since I know that they are not that weak.

It's the same with the B11, I know what the real one can do, and the game version is pretty soft comparatively.

I know they did that in dispatch missions but not contact missions. Pretty low if they changed that.

Hmm, maybe I'll try it later to see what happens. Another helicopter might've popped up in the same place as yours was going to but that doesn't usually happen three times in a row.

The B-11 Strikeforce is literally the opposite of what an A-10 Thunderbolt is.

 

The B-11 Strikeforce has a weak cannon, the A-10 Thunderbolt has a cannon so powerful that it became a meme.

 

The B-11 Strikeforce sucks at ground attacks, the A-10 Thunderbolt excels at ground attacks.

 

The B-11 Strikeforce excels at dogfighting, the A-10 Thunderbolt sucks at dogfighting.

 

You had one goddamn job R*.

Yesterday I realized, while wanting to move my Oppressor to another garage to make room for three new bikes in my MC Clubhouse (Shotaro, Hakuchou Drag, Vortex), that I could change my MOC layout from ”Command Center + Vehicle and Weapon Workshop” to ”Command Center + Living Quarters + Personal Vehicle Storage”, and put my Oppressor there.

 

Now I can access it through the MOC in the interaction menu, just like I do with the Mk2 through the Terrorbyte! My OCD was overjoyed with this discovery, finally some puzzle pieces fitting together (unlike most of the stuff in this game).

 

Maybe needless to say, but I no longer needed my ”Vehicle + Weapons Workshop” in the MOC since I’ve gotten the Avenger and the Terrorbyte. But I only arrived at this brilliant solution yesterday! I love how it makes so much sense, lol

Wow, I'll have to try this. That's pretty HUGE.

[Dr.Rosenthal]

@Taterman I know, right? But unfortunately it also comes with a HUGE price, lol. Paying almost (I think?) 500k for one garage spot.

 

So worth it though!

Would I still be able to keep my AA trailer in there too though?

The MOC garage spot is where I put my Stromberg...One hell of a time saver when I want to call it to deal with flying pests.

I believe you can, because the AA trailer doesn’t use the garage spot, right? You call it in through the menu but otherwise it’s parked beside your MOC in your Bunker.

 

I could be wrong, I don’t have the AA trailer myself. But I think they’re separate, as in whatever you store in the MOC will be separate from the AA trailer.

Another good idea.

[Yellow Dog with Cone]

I wish I could store my Ruiner 2000 inside my MOC in a legit way 

 

[Gridl0k]

Somehow a Savage ended up in my MOC which is a real pain on Heists etc

 

FWIW you can actually put the Workshop back now and still call your MOC PV from the menu, but you risk losing it if rockstar ever fix that I guess.

I wanted to do Weapon Workshop + Living Quarters + Personal Vehicle Storage for that RV + secret room look, but the game wouldn't let me put the workshop in the first slot ...

[Dr.Rosenthal]

@IceDree That would've been cool, a bit sh*tty that we can't pick order ourselves. I was pretty disappointed that the "Living Quarters" is basically just a few chairs, two sofas and a wardrobe, lots of places to sit down but nothing very cozy about it, you can't even lie down on the sofas (!). And the wardrobe is there even without living quarters, so I don't really see the point. But anyway, I got what I wanted so I'm not complaining.

The Arena Mechanic is Sacha Yetarian, Simeon's nephew.

He's our mechanic and also works at Benny's as his job title is Benny's OMW Mechanic.

The dude career is more successful than his uncle.
