Things you didn't know about GTAO until now

The 2 clubhouses down near Vespucci Beach are different. I had the one story near the pier by the cherry blossom tree and wanted the two story as I liked the bike storage layout better. I’m central with my office and nightclub in Del Perro so I wanted to keep my clubhouse close as well. I found the one down by the tattoo parlour near the beach is a two level. So I’ll bought that one.

Can you successfully AFK by dancing in a club?

I never get prompted but I've also never left it long enough to know for sure.

 

I did AFK dancing back in the club update times.

It works, but not sure, if I used a rubberband back then.....

Collecting cargo from a Business Battle can count as sourcing air freight cargo for your daily objectives.

[Pedinhuh]

I decided to do some Air Freight missions for old times sake while my Bunker was making product since I'm broken again(spending spree), and I discovered some things about it:

 

-You can use the Tula for almost every single Air Freight mission, with gas bombs or standard bombs, doesn't matter...And if they don't work to destroy vehicles, you can use it's fixed minigun in the nose to blow them up...For the mission where you have to guard a Titan until the dropoff point, the Tula on VTOL mode performs almost as good as the Hydra in VTOL mode.

 

-If you blow up an air freight aircraft while it's in a hangar, the air freight will spawn on the roof of the hangar, making it easier for you to collect the cargo without stepping outside the aircraft.

 

-The classic airplane helmet that has those rounded glasses will override the headset that is automatically equipped on your character's head upon entering an aircraft.

 

-The Seabreze is a surprisingly decent dogfighter.

During the Fingerprint Scanner Cayo Setup, now that the Manchez Scout  is out, the Manchez Scout bikes inside the first building no longer disappears after you enter.

So, during Fingerprint Scanner setup, the Vetir now spawns inside the big garage you pick up the device.

 

Seems that all Warstock CaPe vehicles were suppoed to spawn in there but due to dripfeed or whatever the game prevents them from spawning before the vehicle is properly released. See the Manchez Scout spawning and despawning before remaining spawned in the first part of the setup after it was released.

Yes and no. You need to dance for 1 hour to each djs set but they only have 30 minute sets. When they switch djs, there is a cut scene and you're moved off the dance floor.

 

So you can AFK but only while close by doing other things.

And the Vetir shows up in the bunker where you pick up the scanner now. 

 

My guess is the Manchez Scouts were not supposed to be there before release but a glitch made them visible and the new hummer will show up in the empty parkin spaces in the bunker once its available for purchase.

I knew you could find NPCs on a break, sitting down. Didn't know their breaks ended.

Maybe the rabbit was a bit off-putting for them.

Yeah, I didn't even know they existed until Online came out

You can get them from Merryweather and... something else, I believe they spawn in something you buy. I never used mine so I dunno

I think there is a certain role in the MC club that can drop them

Doing the “Torched” MC job will also give you a bunch of them too.
 

They also spawn in the bunker and the Kostaka for free pick ups.

You can also create your own GTA race and put all the throw-able weapons (grenades, sticky bombs, Molotov's, tear gas) on the track, and top up your supply this way

Actually wanted to post this but was like "nah screw this lol". Also: you can make your own Survival with all weapons tucked in nice and clean if you want to restart the game. Altho I still haven't found out how do you manually select which gun do you want to be spawned yet.

[Up2NoGood45]

If you hate the Merryweather weapons prep for the heist like I do, you can park your sub next to the Merryweather dock and take out the helicopter with your periscope missiles...sometimes I have to take it out 4 times before it switches to one of the closer ones.

[Nefarious_Poundcake]

^^
If you park it at Vespucci Beach you can just use a guided missile to take out the heli on top of the roof. Then just get off the seat and restart a new prep. No need to even move the sub. Unless you don’t have the missiles.... (obviously)

I've used the missiles at the sit-down console but I haven't found out how to use the periscope missiles. On Xbox, it says left trigger to lock on but none of the buttons launch anything.

It’s LT to lock on and RT to fire the missile

Thanks, I'm sure I tried that. May have been a glitched lobby. Weird things have been happening lately.

For me this is just as annoying as flying after the heli. Especially the part where there are 3 locations for it and the chances that you will get pretty much the same mission are pretty high. Thus I prefer flying in front of the heli and kill all MW before it arrives. And it flies in a straight line so you can pretty much tell what the location will be. Just be sure to land\hide somewhere on its side so you don't alert its pilot when it lands. It blew itself with the plasma-whatever cannon once cause I was approaching it from the front when it landed.

Hide? I just keep hovering in my Sparrow with the missiles locked on it and fire once the icon goes red. No need to hide.

It won't fire a missile until you have a full lock on a target, no prompt or anything until that square is red.
