Yeah it's kinda weird the ingame Tesla Model S or whatever it is, doesn't lose a wheel or it's steering wheel every once in a while, and why there are no spontaneous combustions like IRL?

I think it's when you're in the Terrorbyte or MOC. Maybe even the Avenger.

If you're doing a Nightclub goods sale, at least in a custom Mule, and you have a no/low damage bonus, blowing up other cars with your missiles will cost you 1k off your bonus PER EXPLOSION. So if you pop a car and it does a second explosion, that's 2k off your bonus. I ran out of money before I could properly confirm, but I think that includes all secondary explosions. So if you pop a car, and it goes up twice, and boom two catches a second car, that's 3k gone. And that's regardless of how far away from you they appear to be as I did this to vehicles upwards of 2 or 3 blocks from me at the time of detonation.

Another one - doing a Nightclub Goods mission from Yohan also completes Objectives for resupplying the Bunker or Biker Businesses.

Did you know that one of the flagship vehicles of the Further Adventures in Finance and Felony, the Rumpo Custom, is asymmetrical?

 

The Rumpo Custom have the following Extras:

#1: Front Foglights

#2: Tubular Side Steps

#3: Roof Rack with Spare Tyre and Roof Lights

#4: Lateral ladder

#5: Rear Spare Wheel

#8: left wind/rain deflector

#9: right wind/rain deflector

 

Without any extras it looks like a lifted Rumpo with bullbars:

Spoiler

 

What is defective and asymmetrical of the Rumpo Custom, is that it will always spawn without the passenger side wind/rain deflector on the window, and with some merging magic we can discover why.

 

 

The one in the Right is my PV Rumpo custom, with extras: 1, 3, 5, 8 and 9 ON, the one in the Left is the CEO Rumpo, that comes stock, as you can see, the Right deflector is for some reason Chromey, and Rockstar in their infinite wisdom, made the vehicle spawn with only one side on to hide the defect texture/part.

Why did I find an NPC driving a Hakuchou? Is that a thing?

 

They were driving past the casino. Only noticed because of the Asbo someone posted the other day.

 

Or was this a High Life addition and it's just rare?

That's been a standard street spawn since the bike was released, but only in certain areas of the map usually. If you see that in traffic you'll also probably see the Vindicator being ridden around as well.

You can use the interaction menu while using a RC Tank, but it seems to be a glitch and it's inconsistent

It's a thing since 2014 when this game was released on last gen consoles, the Hakuchou is one of the 2013-2014 DLC vehicles that normally spawns on traffic being driven by NPCs on singleplayer and VERY RARELY spawns in Online.

 

Honestly I don't understand they aren't more common spawns in the rotation, you can't store them anyway so why make them so rare like this?

The trunk 'door' on the zion classic looks a tad small but when you open it, it somehow gets bigger.

Goes back to being small when closed.

I don't believe Vindicators spawn, probably you saw Thrust, which is another rare traffic bike.

Probably, I just know it's one of the Akira looking cruiser bikes.

I call them "single player spawns", they sometimes come in Rancho/Banning, specially in the bridge, sometimes in Vespucci, mostly triggered while being in a mission or coming from an interior, you get: Dukes, Pigalles, Rhapsodys, Pantos, Thrusts and so on, sometimes with Worn Paintjobs, mostly stuff from I am not a hipster and before.

It's ya boi, Dominus, back at you with some CEO job shenanigans.

With the Asset Protection Contract, if you don't show up to the location, items you're supposed to defend will just detonate periodically. Now, you may be thinking to yourself "Surely he's not dumb enough to have triggered the mission and simply not gone to the objective..." and you'd be correct in that thinking. However, I neglected to actually trigger the location as I was flying over it in an Avenger to hover and use the turrets. So I sat and watched several objectives detonate for no reason until I realized I hadn't actually hit the marker. All of this, despite dealing with attackers that were already present when I arrived.

Update - this was me being dumb and not testing a control, this is actually the game saying I can't buy a duplicate of my own car.

Actually, the enemies spawn regardless of you being at the location and attack the Assets. It might be a clever trick but that's the excuse.

 

Also, on topic and I know this is old but if you go into stealth/crouch mode with the Micro SMG out the shoulder stock will extend.

I once heard many years ago that you could drop owned guns from the weapon wheel to permanently get rid of them. Never thought to try it until yesterday. What do you know, it actually worked. Although you can't drop all weapons. DLC guns like the tommygun and laser weapons can't be dropped. The character does the motion to drop the precision rifle, but it won't be dropped. At least my weapon is now cleaner in times when the weapon safe doesn't work.

Actually, they didn't spawn, because if you notice, I sat, hovering over it while 3 or 4 (I forgot how many exactly) wine barrels just spontaneously combusted, one of which did so while I was staring at it, and there were no enemies as I had dealt with the initial wave that spawns when you start the mission.

 

Might need some further testing, to be sure, but that was my experience.

Yea, I should have been more clear. They explode to give the illusion that enemies are spawning and as you arrive enemies are already spawned and burning the Assets. That entire mission can lick my balls.

I usually don't have a problem with it. As long as I trigger the location, local defenses are enough to hold and usually even clear the objective while I get setup with autopilot and a turret. Then, I seem to only get 2 vehicle spawns, which are really obvious, despite no proper radar, since the only vehicles that show up are enemies until the timer runs out. Practically 50k afk.

So I just migrated my PS4 main account over to my PS5 and I just noticed. Since when has “Bribe The Authorities” become free in CEO? I thought it always cost money? Or am I just imagining that? 

[Spider-Vice]

Did you subscribe to GTA+? I assume not because you mention you just migrated your account, but that is a perk for this month for subscribers, wonder if it glitched, or if it's some sort of incentive for new migrations.
