there is in fact the VIP passed out in back of the limo in the Nightclub side mission

If you go in first person view, turn off the radio and turn up the volume, you can hear him snoring!

Apparently you can get the same objective twice in Daily Objectives

EDIT: Shame I rarely bother with them. Sure, the top ones are the same for everyone but having to be with other players sucks.

I get that every once in a while. It's really nice when the bottom two are the same and the top one is something super similar, so you can knock them all out at once (think something like "visit LS car meet in a personal vehicle, spectate car meet, spectate car meet").

 

I do daily objectives every day (if possible - see my previous whiny posts about Sprints and Scrambles and other bullcrap). I dislike team deathmatches so when that popped up yesterday, I joined one and just drove halfway across the map to AFK while the two teams blew each other up 

[gnomefromnome]

I bought a copy of someone's car in the LS Car Meet, a Bravado Gauntlet Hellfire, just to see if the goofy tires will transfer...and it did lol. Being a new low level on PS5....I now have a fully modded car of my own, which is fantastic, as I don't hardly have any performance parts unlocked yet! Also I took my new car to LS Customs, and lo and behold all modifications were unlocked! Which is unfortunately is only unlocked for that vehicle only

wrong car

You can knock broomdicks off their ""bike"" with the explosive shells, without killing them or destroying the vehicle. Pretty sure this doesn't happen every time?

Incredible shot.

 

You hit the rider, since the explosive rounds were patched to not be a one-hit kill, you didn't killed him.

 

You probably did damaged his bike too but since he was riding it, the bike had it's armor buffed so it didn't blew up right away.

This happens more often than not, actually. Sometimes they only lose their health and remain on their broomstick. What I hate is when they get knocked off, sometimes they can survive the fall if they're high enough by parachuting. They should not be given parachuting privileges after I hit them with my explosive rounds; instead they should fall to their inevitable demise, and it should be credited as my kill always!

Doing the payphone hit where you have to blow up the guy at a gas station i used to just pull up get out and blast the car causing it to explode , then i'd get a wanted level to lose. But i found out if you pull up get out and shoot the gas pump - it will explode the car  and - No wanted level !! Do all the time now ....

For that one, I'd just crash the taxi into the gas pump. You'll kill yourself doing that, but you'll still get the bonus money for completing the objective. I find that method quicker than getting out of the taxi and shooting the gas pump.

The Mobile Operations Centre cab doesn't have a special radar blip when detached.

 When i first started i tried to lose as little money as possible . Just showing a money saver.

Honestly didn't realize you could get one of those ridiciolous fishing/photography vests, they suit my goth character pretty good though.

So I somehow ended up with Heavy Rifles on my characters and I didn't know how.  Definitely didn't buy them.  I figured they were part of a festive gift package or something, but that didn't seem to be the case.  But recently they started disappearing off my characters, so I was able to test some other theories and I figured it out.  Apparently if you play the deathmatch Hot Swap II, you'll get the Heavy Rifle when you return to freemode, along with a couple other weapons too, but the Heavy Rifle will stick around even after logging off/restarting the application, etc.  On PS4 anyway.

I learned the MkII is not on Simeon's Export list

Nope. Get called a cheater using it in Haulage in a full lobby too. I used an entire 6 bullets to headshot a guy off his mk2 while he wasted all his rockets and then just followed me like a fly.

 

It's fun to just mess with people too just chillin on the street, bomb down the road, crashing into sh*t like it's a movie. The mass is so wild ontop of the upgrades.

It also has NO BLIP when detached and you are not in the vehicle. You gotta remember where it is...or you might just have to move it back to storage

Yes, but I was talking about radar blip, not map blip. There's a subtle distinction here: the radar is where you see the blips of other players; the map is where you see blips of your own vehicles. Of course, the two views are superimposed in the game so the distinction becomes blurred.

Found out today that I can hold the d pad right to open the helmet visor.

There are some missions in which you lose control of radio inside vehicles, i. e. in some Sessanta/KDJ tuners contracts, after certain checkpoints/cutscenes you cannot turn on radio, but it is still possible through sound settings (Esc/P)



Very useful with Media Player with no any tracklist active to silence effin ambients.

Simeon doesn't accept vehicles with your crew emblem slapped on it. 

 

 

 

Well, thanks for telling me only when I actually get there.

Going into pause menu is not very convenient, but there's a handy little glitch - when you open and then close the phone, you can change stations with next/previous buttons, but the time window to do so is very short.

Is this a new animation or a SP import?

Instead of a drum mag as an alternate extended mag, the regular Carbine has a f*cking box magazine...

 

9 years playing this game, only now that i noticed this BTW.

wait, what? I noticed that in the pause menu but I never remember it having that. I thought it was a bug with the images in the files. lol

[gnomefromnome]

The 50 car garage has another entrance in the back....only on foot though. It's in the corner.

 

EDIT: All doors work, just only the one has a halo.

Yes its the same kind of box magazine you can find on the MG and Combat MG.

 

Functionality wise, its the same as the drum mags, same reload speeds as them and animations.

 

But the thing looks ugly with it, and well I'm more of a Service Carbine guy anyway...

You're right, I looked after. When the hell did they give it the box mag? lmao

 

No way was that always a thing.

Well, imagine that some saudi tycoon open the container with his new rare luxury Grotti from abroad, and find that it has an airbrushed Fast & Furious logo on the hood.
