apparently you can gas yourself out with engine fumes if you idle in a garage with car running!, heres link to that and a few others http://www.gta5cheats.com/easter-eggs/#exhaustfumes

Can someone verify that?

Also, there certain cars that turns on their cooling fan if you leave them idling for too long, my Sentinel XS does that

The Liberator can drive in some shallow rivers and ponds, a lot higher than most cars..

I've never noticed this ramp before

 

snapmatic-2014-11-03-130152.jpg

 

 

It's at the helipad near Vespucci, if you go out the back and along this

 

snapmatic-2014-11-03-130200.jpg

 

 

It's not one of the "official" stunt jumps - just some random ramp that's there to be had. Unless you fluff it (like I have a couple of times) then you land on the sand near LSC which is directly ahead of you.

Apparently if you are doing Cleaning the Cat House with another person and are using a helicopter, if your friend decides to jump to his death from the heli, for some reason Anna would decide to do the same. Mission Fails but it's funny.

that mission is amusing in that you can just land on the roof, she comes up, you fly away, job done. funny you can avoid all conflict

Lol. Ride a bike, mate. $125 for a replacement Ruffian ;)

 

The only time I get out the expensive cars is when there's a jet arsehole about.

Well I'm wondering why a Van is labeled a Bravado but then LSC call's it a Grotti. Think it's the Rumpo that is the one that's mislabeled.

I rode out into the sea in a submarine to survive a 9k bounty. Normally I wouldn't wait out a bounty but I was working on my laptop so I figured i'd just dive down and sit it out in the background on my tv.

 

Anyways I survived it and then called the Merryweather boat to pick me up. I'd always just shot the guy and stole the boat so I decided to set a way point and let him drive me there instead.

 

Turns out he won't take you to the way point like the helicopter pilot will. He just takes you to the nearest shore.

 

Not groundbreaking but something I learned today.

Merryweather pilots keep their cool even when shot at by police.

 

Just order them the map around, when being wanted by police, you can shoot choppers with your MG while escaping.

 

Also, showers can be used by two players.

 

Male+male=somewhat queer.

Female+female=awkward, as noone is a real girl, usually.

How do 2 players use the same shower? Doesn't it lock the bathroom once someone starts showering?

This giant cigarette:

Mind sharing the location. Upon quoting it appears the photo is linked from the SocialClub maybe. However I don't know how to chase it back and look at the GPS for this pic.

 

Thank you.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

One I learned a few weeks back about getting a bicycle delivered. Pull the bike you want out of the garage. Either steal a car and drive to your location of choice or have a Pegasus heli waiting out front. Once you have reached the location, hold select and request PV. Bike will come. We use this to mountain bike up and around Chiliad.

One of the last things I've noticed is that the cops sometimes react according to the weapon you pull out: "Is that a rocket launcher?", "ROCKET LAUNCHER!!!", "he has a minigun!"

I have recently noticed that you no longer have to jump out of the car before detonating your sticky bomb suicide vehicle for it to kill the tank driver.

 

They really have made the tank a laughing stock.

Sorry buddy but Ive got to call bullsh*t on that one.

The Merryweather boat guy is in fact invincible. He cannot be shot like the chopper pilot. He also cannot be robbed of his boat. Go ahead and try it if anyone reading this doubts me.

Neither heli pilot or boat captain are invincible.

Maybe invincible was the wrong word.. But you can't shoot him like you can the chopper pilot.

HERE'S ONE!!

 

Apparently if you're in passive mode and you get into a car....when you get out, you're no longer in passive mode!!!

 

Found that out the hard way when someone killed me

Okay thanks.

 

Yea, I was in passive and walked up to a guy with a bounty. He was standing directly behind a big mack truck.....i walked to the door....he did nothing.....I figured Okay if I get in the truck he has no angle on me and if he moves, i'll just get out.

 

Well, he didn't move....so I backed over him and got the bounty :)

 

I got back out thinking I was still in passive and his friend shot me :)

Get into a car whilst passive and then get out. You get a passive countdown before it turns off. It can also just turn off without warning. Yesterday I was just trying to get my bike back and a guy kept sniping me, so I went into passive before trying again. I ran over to my bike and waited there to see if he'd just leave me to it or be an arse and wait till I got on my bike, and then a few seconds later he shot and killed me. No warning countdown, and I didn't get on my bike. It just turned off.

Thats what its been doin, locking you out. And if you do get in bathroom together, the shower wont turn on. Pretty sure that Fun got shut down last update, for whatever pointless reason.

Here's another place you can electrocute yourself: at the LSC by the airport, there's a small building on the right when you pull in the gate. Climb the ladder up and there's a transformer box on the roof. Funny as hell.
