it´s a "secondary weapon option" on the JB700W...

... and a mines option for arena vehicles. (Except the Deathbike, which doesn't have mines.)

[katy023]

Use RC tank to destroy other players' vehicle may cause 'bad sport' window pop up in some cases (on PC. I have collected over 100 kills with it, pretty sure this happens but not all the time).

It is also possible to take down jet with RC tank (before it takes off, aim at pilot/his head), plus shoot its engine so can make sure the vehicle is dead.

I actually had my RC Tank spawn outside of the apartment we started the setup at, it even had the PV blip on the map and everything, just wasn't very useful as you couldn't get in it. Although that happened a few weeks back so it might be that R* has since patched it

 

 

And after we completed the setup & spawned in free roam, the tank was still there with the PV blip, but still couldn't get in it

When you are playing the newer Repo contact missions the time is always noon and it’s always sunny.  The bad side of this is your Nightclub does NOT accrue goods during this time.

 

While playing the original contact missions the NC does accrue goods.

Could this be true for all contact missions that have the clock frozen on a specific time of the day?

edit: I specifically mean the old ones that have the clock frozen at a specific time. I know most don't.

Not the old ones (IE Pier Pressure, Blow Up)It rains and it gets light and dark just like in free roam and the clock advances.  Why we can use these for AFK.

I know that most old contact missions don't have the clock frozen, time advances and we can AFK in them for businesses. But I specifically meant to ask about the old ones that do have their clock frozen, like here: https://www.reddit.com/r/gtaonline/comments/2zna6h/contact_missions_with_locked_time_or_locked_clock/

these missions specifically:

Spoiler

 

• A Titan Of A Job
• Artificial Scarcity
• Cleaning The Cat House
• Crime Scenester
• Crystal Clear Out
• Defender
• Diamonds Are For Trevor
• Hack and Dash
• Holed Up Burton
• On Maneuvers
• Romance Isn't Dead
• Quarry Quarry
• Chopper Tail
• Denial Of Service
• On The List
• Time To Get Away

Please elaborate on the outfit, possibly over pm cuz its kinda offtopic and forum rules frown upon certain things  thanks in advance!

There's apparently 'high roller' exit disguise available, although I had no chance testing it. I do have all cards collected.

I tested it, your only safe up to leaving. Once you leave the casino its similar to Silent & Sneaky where you still gotta hide from the Swat.

 

Have not tested it but this would a good time to leave via the roof and parachute to the cars, since i did notice the stair case was still highlighted on the map while near the slot machines, as well as you still do have your parachutes in your inventory while doing the heist

Using the Master Control Terminal, you can register as CEO or MC President directly from Passive Mode.

there are 2 ways of getting that, one involves you deleting your second character (provided that your second character is a female) and the second one involves using a job, that job has unfortunately been deleted because reasons.

What should have happened is Rockstar giving us the stupid thing instead of this garbage they are pulling.

When you are part of someone else's organization, and get a phone call about special cargo, you can quit that org and pick one up for yourself.

[Schokoladeka]

Here's something you may not have known:

 

You can quit GTA Online faster by unplugging your device. It's about three times quicker than the regular esc>quit or controller home button>close method.

Not exactly. No business produces anything while you take part in activities with locked time like races, some adversary modes, I think something about 4 or 5 contact missions like post ops ... Just open the phone, if the clock is frozen so are your businesses

 

Edit:

Sorry overread the yellow shiny response from Airwolf anyways, I threw in the races as an addition

Chopper Tail (contact mission) is set to 12 mid-day and  businesses definitely produce stuff while playing it.

[EkaSwede]

I'm going to need some extra confirmation on this as it may have been a lucky fluke.

 

During the casino heist you can destroy 2 cameras during the silent and sneaky, but only if you destroy one before going into the vault and the 2nd after you exit the vault. Not 10% sure so it might've been a one time lucky break because I made a mistake when I was going to stun it (At least we had a check point should things have gone south).

 

Not that destroying cameras are a super good strategy to begin with.

Consider it confirmed, it's 2 cameras for me too. Not sure what it is on hard though, never destroyed them on hard.

Wow ... you're right, that's strange. The NC popularity does not go down and nothing is added to the safe, the businesses and NC warehouse do produce, but supplies don't get delivered (been for 60 minutes in chopper tail). the delivery arrives after the timer expires in free roam then (15 minues for bunker supplies).
Will retest denial of service, Titan of a job and the other time locked missions. I most times used time to get away for grinding Sandkings and the rare npc cars at LSC and always realized: the businesses stood still while doing so ... if I only used chopper tail that time, I would have made millions #)

That there was this shortcut to the car park close to the Burton LSC.

I never knew if you kill the MW pilot in the helicopter pick up MW with refuse to help after that. Normally when I get stuck on a mountain I job or heist teleport or call in a bike through the MC interaction menu but can't do that in a mission.

I didn't know you could be a bad sport for that long!

3 months 20 days left.. What did you start with? 

I also noticed years on that counter.

 

Day 1 player and I've never been to the 'dark side'.. 

[junkpile]

That daily objectives have been updated. 

I mean, I seen they been updated but when switching characters and even accounts it was totally different. 

 

No more rally race, kill 20 players, capture hold whatever.. 

 

I had 

- vip mission 

- take bullshark

- parachute from 650 feet

 

 

Hostile takeover LSIA, getting the parcel, driving to the next plane, taking a vip bullshark, parachuting to the finish. 

 

And my other account had something similar, like all the ones I played with had participate in Hot Bomb or Bomb Ball, making sure many players got the same task. 

Good one R*

[EkaSwede]

Apparently the Diamond Casino&Resort has branched out to other hotels

This was during the Valet Mission to acquire the getaway cars. You can also knock this thing down like an animal and nothing will happen if you do.
