100% that was the arms dealer from Grand Senora, I guess the models are clones/didn't load right

 

There is something strange going on with the spawns occasionally, sometimes when getting valuables from The Lost many of the MC club enemies were replaced with asian gangsters with motorcycle helmets.

Just found out today after playing Payphone Hit Mission

 

If you ever failed the assasination bonus, right after you finish the mission don't leave the area, put up the phone, search for contact missions, play (leave the session), finish the job, and then quit the voting screen, when you're in another session, the game still counts that you have met the assasination bonus criteria, still gets paid for 100k

Cool but what do you mean by "play (leave session)"?

I just put up the phone, quick jobs and play contact mission that's it man

 

Pardon me for my bad english

And yes it's patched, i tried it today and it didn't count the bonus anymore

I didn't know random supercars could spawn at the little parking lot in the mall tunnel.

 

 

Is this some sort of import vehicle or something?  I was expecting a popup message or something when I got in it, but got nothing.  Of course I have many map icons hidden, so maybe that is why no message appeared.  

 

EDIT:

 

Got a Massacro to spawn there a few minutes ago as well.  Looked it up and it's apparently an Exotic Exports spawn point.  Strange that I've never seen anything spawn there before though, as I spend quite a bit of time farming Dubsta2's along that route.  Heh, learn something new everyday.

Yes, exotic export cars spawn at that location.

 

You need to have Air Freight enabled.

You don't need to be a CEO/MC President in order for the payphone missions to appear.

How do you enable Air Freight?

It's under "hide options" in the interaction menu, there's a setting for air freight in one of the drop down categories.

Thanks. Kinda weird how that would be linked to exotic export cars.

I have questions about this "sentational" boxing match that will be shown live, in slow motion

 

[Gridl0k]

Crossover post! 

 

 

1 car 3 cops

 

@Spider-Vice mentioned spawns have been fiddled with and it does feel like there's a certain newness to some things? Like they're buffing variables across the board for e&e and some of them have been deemed suitable for current gen? hmmm emoji 

 

It's possible there's always been 3 cops in these (Bank Job) cars tbf, I very rarely end up defending during a robbery like I am there.

If you step outside search area, you get fail timer of 20 seconds, so idk how it would benefit. However getting red blip inside search area actually doesn't reveal you if you are overlapped by imani's otr.

Find a rooftop and go AFK for 10 minutes.

 

Only problem is that you will be a sitting duck for snipers with thermal goggles pretty much anywhere you hide.

 

Imani's perk costs 12k and the job itself pays 20k, so you will get paid still.

One thing that might be obvious, but I really like is that Franklin and Chop actually leave the Agency at night because Franklin has a family. It always annoyed me that our Properties were so stale and unchanging. Always the same NPC's no matter the time or date. Does my Assistant never leave my Office?

 

Just replacing the NPC's with generic ones now and again that perform exactly the same would be a nice change. Why we have two receptionists at the Agency is beyond me, rotate them for some realism.

 

Yeah Imani too, that girl has no life outside of the agency it seems lol.

 

And yeah I dunno what the deal is with the second receptionist, you can't even interact with her, reminds me of the Facility.

My assumption is that she is the actual receptionist. The guy is actually called a security guard. But yeah, she should have some function, even if it's just to give us another place to use the security guard's menu.

 

What is it with all the people standing around the Agency playing on their phones? Are they employees? Can't we get them a desk with a real computer? Why don't we have an option to call for backup and have it be one of those guys in the Agency Jubilee?

I assumed they were clients or something, someone else here mentioned one of them looking like the guy that drives the Jubilee if you request it which would be kinda ammusing. Speaking of the request SUV feature through Franklin, I did it earlier and timed my pressing of the "hurry" button poorly and the driver accellerated into a big rig at a stop light, then other dude pulls up too close behind us and my agency guy starts playing back and forth bumper cars trying to get back out. After like a minute of this he jumps out the car and bails! I had to drive myself back to the agency lol what the hell, who is Frank hiring.

There is something off with the gravity or something in this interior. Shoot your flare pistol and then shoot the flare with the Atomizer. The flare will start floating in the air.

[ilRae]

Why do I still see players, rank 500 and above, still using off radar like it is somehow hiding your crates or cars? It's not... lol.

Because nobody ever told them. I will usually message anyone who goes off radar while delivering these things and let them know they're still showing on the map.

 

And of course, as thanks, they call me a cheater or modder or say something about my mother. Great game.

Have you shot the flare with the Atomizer outside of there? You can move the flares around with bullets so I wonder if that's just what the Atomizer does instead?

[mrfonzius]

In case you see another blue dot for an exotic export while delivering one, do not touch it. The blue dot will stay and you can take it later, otherwise it despawns if you happen to be too far away.

For real? I've been wasting money then? Lol.

 

What if you're driving an akula with stealth mode?

[SqualidCoyote]

The Hookies seafood diner in North Chumash has a working bug zapper on its porch. Every so often a fly sets it off followed by a crackle and a puff of smoke. Love that attention to detail!

Take a look at the display for the floors over the lift in the agency before and after using it or the clock inside record a studios.

Akula does works to hide the crates you're carrying with you, but any other crate sitting outside on the open will still appear on the radar.

Of course I did. The flares don't behave that way in the overworld, you just push them around on the ground. That's why I said it's something about that interior.
