The other day I discovered you can listen to the radio when spectating teammates like on Survival waves. My friend told me about the filters on last gen, the Weazel News is the only cool one, but I don't remember the radio being an option. Then again he could've told me and I forgot since we were chatting.

 

Today I learned you can check your Arena War sponsorship tiers on the laptop in the Arena War office. Helpful since it doesn't show level ups when I die early and spin the wheel a few times.

You can’t pick them up with the Stromberg.  I wanted to go out to sea and then kick them out haha.

Sounds like reverse version of mile high club

It used to be possible to attach a sticky bomb to NPCs. They would then run around in a terrified panic and you could explode them at the most opportune moment. Once or twice I was even able to take out other players that way.

 

It now seems that sticky bombs just slide off NPCs onto the floor, even though you can still auto-aim a throw at them (on a console). Unsurprisingly, they still freak out in the same way. 

I used to place c4 on my friends back to quickly finish that biker bar resupply mission
 

1 - set Friendly Fire: ON

2 - put C4 on friends back

3 - set Friendly Fire: OFF

4 - friends run inside screaming "TEQUI-LA-AKBAR!"

5 - you detonate your c4

6 - Profit

^Does it still work on other players?

It should. Just be sure to put friendly fire on, otherwise it won't stick. And you can turn it back off just after that.

Me and my friend used to do the same thing. Except he'd pace a C4 on my back and I'd walk inside the bar warning the bikers of my explosive temper.

I was understanding that all analogue clocks around the map and in interiors tell you the current time.

However there is a clock on a building across from the Grapeseed gas station that doesnt budge.

The Atomizer is a very useful breaching tool.

This can be somthing I didn't know about GTAO until know. I use it when my car gets stuck but have still been using RPGs on fences.

It's one of the most useful tools they have given us.  I've freed the Phantom Wedge on a number of occasions while doing "Plowed" because it's rather difficult to control and gets stuck.  Also have saved MC delivery vehicles a few times like when I accidentally beach a boat.  Only thing is, you only have so much time before it blows up so you have to be quick.

I think the Atomizer has been the best addition to the game ever, hands down.

It's immeasurably useful, and it's loads of fun for shenanigans.

Useful, fun, and free - rarely does anything exemplify these three qualities in this game.

I got one for my main character for free, but had to pay for my other character's, he was running crates mostly, definitely a necessity.

Money well spent, no question.

I was soooo hoping the big f*ckoff laser gun was a supersized atomizer

Ya, the other meme guns are sh*tty as the Atomizer is useful. Complete. Polar. Opposite. Waste of money, unlike the Atomizer.

I already knew the Airtug has working flashing lights. But turning them on will also activate the reversing noise.

I was banned in Xbox voice chat for some time for doing similar stuff around 2014, I suppose. Maybe, some German marching songs were involved too, can't be sure now.

That reminds me, I've sometimes seen the Ripley spawn at LSIA online, but only very rarely. In the few years I've been in GTAO I think I've only seem them a maybe two or three times. 

 

Does anyone know what triggers them to appear, or is it just an occasional random thing?

[Gridl0k]

^ I saw a fair few when I was having a whale of a time in that peg hangar during those few days that nutty money glitch was live and every f*cker was trying to locate a plane. I think they just blend in if you're not looking.

I learned on Reddit that when we use the E-Cola vending machine, we select Sprunk, never paid attention to that.

Good choice

while I was killing a griefer the last day (Killed him 3 or 4 times in a row) , he then appeared to me as a ghost, see the notification in the bottom left ( Geist=Ghost in german) . Still , he was able to kill other players so he wasn´t in passive mode or something

 

also , apparently you can use the tank in the heist´s preparation mission ( I mean the old Heists) ! I was selecting the kuruma as the tank appeared in the list !

Yup, if someone kills you lots of times you get the option to appear to that person only in passive mode.

Apparently, the nano drone is allergic to great heights. Tried to launch it whilst on top of the Maze Bank building, but immediately after launching it, it shut itself down.

It also does this if you launch it in passive mode

One thing I found out just today after playing since ps3 release.. 

 

If you drive against the rail road crossing sign, the sign will come down a little bit and the bell starts ringing
