Things you didn't know about GTAO until now

[SmutPeddler]

You can stand on the side of the cargo Bob and not fall off

 

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

Vehicles with snorkels (MW Mesa, Dubsta, etc.) can be nearly completely submerged and still continue driving.

not true.

 

 

In my experience any vehicle with snorkels on it, the snorkel didn't work.

the adder is realy slow compared to many other cars, all fully upgraded on a track with corners

Acceleration bro. Every other super car, minus the Vacca, has superior acceleration to the Adder.

More like traction

It once was in fact the second fastest car in gta stock

With the spoiler update....its not even in the top 10

I don't think I've ever raced an Adder. From my experience in races, though, it's often got nothing to do with your car. It's to do with your driving, so if your car choice suits your driving then you've got a good chance of winning. It literally shocks me, watching the people who haven't finished crashing into everything in sight. It would be funny if they were doing it for a laugh, but they're just that bad.

 

I beat the crap out of an Adder driver in a few races and he ended up quitting. Not sure if it was rage quit, or even actual quit (as opposed to losing connection), but it was fun beating him in a Voltic.

I have my adder purely for drag racing now

Its kinda funny sometimes winning with it because people think the zentorno is faster then the adder on top speed

And yea...once there behind enough they are just not gonna catch up

Just found this GTA SanAndreas cover chick easter egg in the bar on the wall:

[Soran Is On]

The dock handler will not automatically latch onto containers like the cargobob. You actually have to press right on the d-pad for it to attach and pick it up.

[Feurian42]

If you shoot out the street light at the top of poles that also have traffic signals on them, every light connected to the pole goes out. Not big but was new to me.

[KrazyFace]

I've listened to Chakra attack quite a few times in the last year or so and only just think I heard something so obvious, I'm amazed I missed it! Although, I could be wrong BUT, one of the callers to the show - the guy in prison talking about getting a wife (he can kill) when he gets out - sounds an awful lot like Eightball from GTA 3! Is it really him, or dost mine ears deceive me?

[REXX]

When you change your Online character, you will go back into the session you were in with your previous character.

[Jock Stewart]

The voice actor that voiced 8 ball died a few years ago.

Aww no!!! Damn. R.I.P to the man, I'm sorry to hear this.

[paulmgrath]

The online logo behind your characters level changes with rank- starts blue -then bronze- i think 500+ silver - then gold is 1000 i assume

[FUBAR1991]

That you can ride in the subway cars when it stops it opens it's doors. Had no clue till a friend told me the other day.

[REXX]

And apparently when you do board it, the doors don't close until you get off. They even stay open when its moving.

[nysudyrgh]

Most randoms I play "Docks to Stock (2)/American Exports" with don't seem to know this. When I arrive with the chopper, I have to land it and jack the Dock Handler from my teammates because they just don't get that they have to press right.

[twannie1997]

That apparently, in 1.17, you can have a bounty in passive mode. I saw some dude who I thought was doing exploits, but he happened to get a bounty while in passive mode.

[XlXXXlllXXXll]

Derrrrrrrrrp.

[Crunch McThornbody]

You can sit in the very back of your own Dubsta 6x6 even if there's nobody in the driver's seat, simply climb up onto the back and press Y (triangle) to sit down.

[MayoChiki]

When you're robbing a store if you have your actual gun without ammo and shot, the clerk will have a random gun and will kill you. He once had a Combat MG, sure he was taking none of my sh*t.

[LL Cool L]

You can sit in the very back of your own Dubsta 6x6 even if there's nobody in the driver's seat, simply climb up onto the back and press Y (triangle) to sit down.

no way, gotta try this

It also gives the opportunity for you to attack other players in freeroam without them realising what happened.

 

When you press Y (triangle) there's no climbing-into-the-vehicle sequence, you instantly sit down and effectively are 'in' the vehicle, so if you're in passive mode then you can start shooting other players the moment you sit down

Today was the first time I'd ever noticed the pairs of cops with Kevlar vests and carbine rifles guarding the airport entrances. Kinda cool.

 

Also, I noticed something else that I thought could only happen in single player, as I had only seen it one time ever. A few months ago, while playing campaign mode, I was driving around with Michael when something caught my attention and I got out of the car. (Can't remember if it was one of Michael's personal cars, or one I had recently stolen. Regardless...) I started to wander away from my car about a couple hundred feet maybe? When I noticed some NPC was getting INTO my car and was gonna drive off with IT! Wtf? Needless to say, it gave me a good laugh! So naturally I popped the guy from where I was, then ran over to the car and dragged him out. Kicked the corps a few times and took off because of COURSE the cops where now after me for killing this scumbag car-thief! lol

 

SO anyways, just a few minutes ago I'm playing online on a empty lobby, just screwing around, stealing different cars and selling them and whatnot when I decided I was gonna burn this big lemon with some gasoline right out in the open on the big lawn next to the town hall by the Burton LSC.

JUST as I was finishing pouring the gas trail leading to the car, this NPC comes out of NOWHERE and JUMPS IN THE CAR! All I could think of was, "Dude, you picked the wrong damn car to get into cause you're gonna go up in flames with it!" But alas, when I took out my pistol to light up the gas trail, he got back out of the car and bolted. DAMN what a missed opportunity that was! Oh well. It was good for a laugh again.

 

So that was the first time I've ever seen an NPC steal my car online. Or TRY to steal it I should say. hahaha So damn close. Funny thing though, both incidents happened in almost the exact same area by the town hall.

[Ziggy_Ivanhoe]

Kind of a minor thing, but I was chilling on the beach near some houses not long ago and kept seeing this flash every once in a while. I was all like who the hell is snapping pics around here? Lol, on further investigation I realized it was a working bug zapper! Not sure if it was just random or if it was actually zapping bugs flying around, but it definitely lit up at random times. Just thought that was a cool little detail I never noticed before.

Go and find a police riot van, or a goods van, or an ambulance or the fire dept vehicle that's identical in shape to the ambulance, then park it in the middle of a busy road, get out and climb on top and wait for an NPC to steal it and drive off

[twannie1997]

I noticed that you can use the sidewalk curbs to make the Felon (GT) two-wheel/flip over.

[jiggaman1]

I only recently picked up on the fact that you can flip the bird by pressing L1 while racing on a bike. And by then holding r3 while doing so you give the middle finger behind you. I probably find it a lot funnier than I should doing it while In first place down the final straight.

 

Also I was racing cycles against a low level. I have max stamina while he's was understandably low. So I kept just enough space between us and gave him the finger throughout- obviously knowing he could never overtake me. Mean, but hilarious. To me anyway.

[CrysisAverted]

NPC's can pick up hookers

 

Hookers pants are transparent

[Cilogy]

didn't know it was full of whiners and entitled complainers

 

 

that was pretty humbling

You can do this on cars as well, making sure no weapons are selected.
