The character, at least in contact missions, always faces the mission objective.

 

I wasn't sure what you meant until I played my first CM last night and spawned in facing it, 8 years and never noticed.

This was always so much fun. Got inside so many hidden interiors, locked car parks, and stuck in shop windows etc. using the Deluxo. My favourite random parachute discovery was Jack Howitzer's motel room, complete with two random NPCs sat at the table miles under the map and disconnected from everything.

 

I discovered this one too but the cool one is the single player garage that is located right next to this interior, the online garages and apartments are all close to them as well.

If a place change occurs at the VERY last second of a Freemode Event, it may not register properly, notice me getting third place despite my higher score

 

 

 

I know it's been posted, but I still can't get over...

 

 

Bicycle Bounties

For that first one, a couple of years ago me and a friend both got 1st place in a race, the winner screen had my character with his bike in the back.

 

Second one about the bounties, I once joked about getting a 9k bounty for stealing a BMX right before I stole one and I got it.

Owner really wanted their bike back.

You can use the Slamtruck in that golf course race (class = utility), but I wouldn't recommend it.

The white leather bomber jacket from the LSCM changes the color of the collar and cuffs when you toggle its style to open/closed.

 

Edit: OK, I probably should not have posted this. I mean, who the f*ck even cares about some rep lvl 190+ clothing item?

There is a faggio tattoo!!! Me and a few friends then got it and griefed a lobby only on faggios  Then a mk2 came  But i never saw that tattoo before, not a singel tattoo made my that happy like that one.

I've never seen it misty at 2pm in full sun before (gif kinda makes it blocky but the whole street looked like an XR protest)

 

 

Also I decided to overwrite all my bicycles so spent 3 hours hunting down wild ones without using google or similar, it's been a long time since I went on a spawn hunt, one of the purest of GTA's waste of time. Forgotten the joy. 

 

 

(I was in passive some of the time and forgot the bmx wouldn't be. I lost one after driving through another player and seeing it pinged onto a roof somewhere)

Oh and I finally took inventory so until yesterday I didn't know how many cars I had, turns out it's 220 plus 11 specials.

I do, I wish I knew that before grinding my rep to unlock it.

 

It's a nice jacket even with that detail though.

Believe my experience, the fog is a weather event on it's own and has a sun icon, meaning it can be mistaken for overcast or something until visibility is low enough.

 

Or if you can predict weather, if GTA Online is like GTA V for this.

The doorman at the unicorn has a gun.

 

I was hiding from the cops but shortly after  losing my wanted level, he runs in and pulls a gun on me.

Since this "trick" is long gone, I can share here.

Everybody knows about the "telescope" glitch, where you can mix: glasses, helmets and masks on one outfit, this is useful since you can combine of lot of functionality in one outfit, like having one helmet with thermal and a ballistic mask with night vision, both blocking a certain number of what would be lethal headshots and all, And there is a trick to save the night vision googles without a balaclava, letting you combine even more stuff; while you can still make this outfit, long gone is the ability to turn on: Night Vision AND Thermal Vision at the same time. Making this hybrid where you can see better some details of the map while having the thermal signatures, the sky would be noisy, results would vary depending if you have Ambient Occlusion on, just like with the regular Thermal but still would be an interesting experience, like being in the video clip Ashes to Ashes by David Bowie.

 

 

 

The outfit looked a bit silly, but once the thermal was on (flipped down), both the googles would clip and look like one thing, this was useful for missions like deliver EMP where you could toggle night vision vs thermal on and off quickly.

 

 

 

The second interesting fun fact of this post is also present on this screenshot; you see, when you drive through mud, your vehicle gets dirty with mud, same with snow, and very rarely if you drive a lot through grass, and this is very hard to trigger, you can get it dirty with "grass dirt".

 

(the screenshot above will probably trigger a lot of people hehehe)

I played a couple import missions (vehicle cargo) and the NPCs came after me in Futos and Dominators. Yesterday, they even were Pißwasser Dominators. I wonder if this is temporary fix for the ordinary Kurumas being bulletproof.

I attempted a CP heist with someone new to them. Man, the guards around the hangar seem to have changed their routines. When they come to a stop, it's only for a second or so. It seems like they used to stop for 3-4 seconds before turning and walking. Makes it really tough to line up a shot before they move.

I have seen the Pisswasser once a long time ago.

Sis literally came home and randomly said "if you keep taking pictures in the casino really fast, staff will throw you out." Tried it, and wouldn't ya know they threw my ass out onto the street like last week's garbage.

You can take off wheels using a Rhino.

The car meet mission makes enemies go after you in dominators and futos

The "race" mission the enemies have banshees and sultans

The kurumas only appear on the tailing mission where you follow the orange kuruma beforehand

Years ago you were able to do this to a Kuruma and the physics of that thing would go haywire.
