Things you didn't know about GTAO until now

[Big Molio]

I occasionally wonder if there are in fact any secrets, messages, easter eggs or anything else left that have been present in the map since launch that Rockstar know are there, but no player has found yet.

I think data miners found all of them

Launch or even with each DLC  I'm sure R* has a few inside jokes etc here and there too.

You can get rid of bruises by checking few clothes in your wardrobe. No need for shower (that sh*t never works its broken), no need to swap character or go to singleplayer and back.

Switching to a CEO outfit and back should do this as well.

after 5 minutes of dancing, you`ll get 500 XP every minute for dancing (afk), which is a quite good XP method....

Yeah, doesn't work. 

You get an initial amount but after that nada. Dancing all night and I got about a 10th of a bar.

It does, If you arent ignoring the Details

I just found out you can do Diamond Casino Heist Prep in an invite only session.

Neat!

There is a fast travel option via the ceo luxos helicopter.

You can eighter fast travel to the office or vehicle warehouse.

That you can't fly through the windshield in a high speed car crash like you can in story mode.

Scared the sh*t out of me first time I played SP in like years and trevor went through one

I was under the impression that all of the Special Personal Vehicles from the Import/Export update also had been banned to be used with passive mode when R* made that change back in the Casino update.

 

To my surprise, the Rocket Voltic can still be used with passive mode, it's not flagged like all the other rocket-boost Vehicles.

 

Also, you can kill other players and be credited the kill by being creative with it's boost: Park any vehicle near a player then reverse the Voltic towards the vehicle, use the rocket boost to send the vehicle flying away from you...And towards your target

 

P.S.: This will take you out of passive mode though.

Lol, same here. Went back to it the other day after years off and was shocked and surprised so much of story mode isn't present in online.

That sort of thing get's abused since year from tryhards

They just launch the car into the target and jump out before it.

Likethat they are still in passiv but the car can kill players (ofc you will get taken out of passiv after the kill)

Not exactly GTA Online but apparently there's a videogeddon arcade in GTA IV too

nice continuity bringing it back to GTA Online

[Gridl0k]

Hitting a player sitting in a car with the stun gun will force them out of the car

Only just realised that the front end of the Adder is like a quick knock-off of Audi's 2011 styling update (particularly the grille/bumper), and I'm not sure how I feel about that...

 

[Pedinhuh]

Just like most of the 2013 and 2014 cars, the Mammoth Patriot will get a slightly altered engine sound if you put on a custom exhaust...And this is interesting because the SUV only got the option to have custom exhausts on the After Hours update in 2018.

 

The Wastelander does a surprisingly decent job at hauling other cars on top of it, provided that they're small and you can find a ramp to put them on it...And yes it's much better than the Scamtruck.

Removing the roof causes wind sound to get a lot louder in the coquette d10. I knew it was a thing in older cars but didnt expect rockstar to keep adding such a niche feature on newer ones. 

[Zak Ras]

If you're on an Apartment Heist & the leader chose Player Saved Outfits, if you open the interaction menu and go to Style > Accessories, there's a hidden option that's revealed above the normal "Gear" option called "Heist Gear". I've only done this on the Fleeca finale but the 3 options were;

 

"None" - literally, nothing.

"None" - this applies the Gray Earpiece & forces the Mask option to the first mask you purchased, in my case a Grey Skull.

"Radio Headset" - the Radio Headset your character can wear when piloting a helicopter.

that there are dedicated bike lanes in the city. I can't recall ever seeing npcs use them though.

I think the only place NPCs spawn on bicycles is probably on Route 68 and the Redwood Dirt Track during day time.

Not including the bmx gang/park spawns that is

An avenger makes a great umbrella if you're vulnerable from above.

 

 

I pressed screenshot instead of clip in all the excitement, of course

There are a lot of places NPCs on bikes spawn. Mirror park has people riding Scorchers and Cruisers. There is a dirt road up by where the mine is in the hills that has 2 people that do a BMX race down it. I recently came across people riding around near the top of Vinewood hills even. I think you find people by the pier sometimes too. I'm sure there are plenty of others I can't think of.

You can only withdraw up to 1 million from your phone, but you can withdraw 10 million from an ATM

 

And you while you can only deposit up to 10 million at a time on an ATM, you can deposit a much higher amount into your phone.

There’s a serial killer mystery challenge  from December 2019 that unlocks a Navy Revolver in GTA and RDO. I don’t recall seeing anything mentioned about it at the time, or until today when I came across it randomly on Reddit. Finally something new to do on GTA Online.

It's glitched, the Navy Revolver doesn't stay in your inventory like the other one-time only weapon unlocks.

 

I finished that challenge about one or two years ago and the weapon never saved in my wheel or the gun locker.

I just did that challenge, but i haven't switched lobby or restarted the game, will see tomorrow if i still got it. I also killed 50 ppl with it, and i unlocked the weapon in RDO too.

 

 

Edit:

I just googled "GTA Online Navy Revolver glitched" and this was the result.

 

"A glitch results in the Navy Revolver not being shown in Gunlockers, which means it cannot be unequipped for the time being. After eating a peyote plant, the Navy Revolver will be removed from the weapon wheel. The only way to get it back is to buy it from Ammu-Nation for free."

 

I used this guide to unlock it. https://www.gamesradar.com/gta-online-serial-killer-navy-revolver/

I've still had mine since I completed it back in Dec 2019. I never knew there was a glitch that prevented you from keeping it.
