The Hidden Patch Notes Thread

I didn't notice guns getting weaker there still the same to me.

 

I'd still managed to get a one hit kill with a Heavy Sniper.

And was the target below rank 100?

So I figure I'd start this off, I haven't found a thread about this on the forums after 10 min of searching. If this thread needs to be deleted, feel free to do so. This thread is to cover things that weren't mentioned in the Official R* Patch notes.

Also, I advise if you help me out by putting in what you've found that wasn't in the patch notes. Use this form.

 

Patch Number:

What I've found:

How this effects gameplay:

 

 

1.12

• The Titan's back door cannot be opened anymore

 

1.13

• You can now not enter the back door of a cargobob if you manage to open it.
• Cannons on the Buzzard Attack Helicopter now has a lot more damage.
• You wont have to pay insurance/bad sport if you kill another player with the P-996 Lazer or the Buzzard Attack Helicopter. Instead, the person you kill (weather they be innocent or not) will have to pay the fine.

1.14

• Water splashes from the Lazer 30mm explosive cannon shells are a lot bigger (size of grenade exploding underwater).
• AP Pistol firing rate has been reduced.
• Car Spoilers increase traction.
• All hand held weapons are now weaker, and take a few more rounds to kill another player.
• You wont have to pay insurance/bad sport if you kill another player with the P-996 Lazer or the Buzzard Attack Helicopter. This also applies for the person you kill (weather they be innocent or not).

 

 

AP pistol doesn't seem any weaker to me. I was doing drive by's with a buddy in free mode tonight the AP was mowing players down like crazy.

 

If R* tried to weaken it they clearly failed, utterly.

[FilthyEsquire]

New ambient music was added. It's only one track.

[999bats]

the AP pistol hasnt been weakened its rate of fire has been decreased. noticed that playing chopper tail I usually have to problem with using the AP pistol but yesterday I was struggling to make kills

[Crunch McThornbody]

Are they determined to turn this game into Nerf Online?

 

F*cksake, why do they keep f*cking with our weapons?!

[sultangris]

calm down kiddies, ive zeen zero proof anything was actually changed and it seems to me that all these changes arent changes but due to lag issues that are getting worse and worse. I still get one shot kills with heavy sniper when lag isnt present, so i assume that nothings changed until i see some actual evidence showing otherwise, such as official patch notes or game files that have changed.

No it was a body shot.

[Fail_At_GTA]

Weapons (except the AP Pistol) haven't been nerfed. One person said it and everyone assumed it was true and their imagination took over.

What he said. Weapons have not been nerfed (other than a very slight change to the auto-pistol) with this update, of that I am completey certain.

 

However, one thing that is certain is the Buzzard is now a bit faster and closer to the speed it used to be (not sure about other choppers as I have not been bothered to check). This should be added to he OP, unlike the mythical weapons nerf (which was probably made up by someone who could hit a cow on the backside with a stick and 3 paces).

Banshee got window tint!

[LightningLord]

Well the AP Pistol is garbage. Used to be my favorite weapon. I hate it now. Time to get rid of it and go back to the Micro SMG.

[Jak2bossbf3]

The poor Bullet is the only car that doesn't have window tint

[budcat]

I don't know, I think the heavy sniper has been nerfed, or Coveted enemies have super health, because I had encountered some survival of shots in the legs or arms in the past, sometimes even center mass shots wouldn't kill them. They'd get up and I'd have to hit 'em again. Now, though, they often require three good hits if they aren't headshots.

 

Also, helicopter SWAT seem tougher, as I nailed one no less than four times with the heavy sniper without killing him. Unless its connection issues or some BS, but definitely it isn't powerful enough. Heavy sniper should be a kill no matter where it hits. Really it should just shatter limbs like a VATS critical.

1.14 - Car spoilers now increase traction (don't know if this was in the Patch noted or not)

 

Proof?

[TreFacTor]

The heavy sniper was definitely nerfed, it seems to take 2-3 shots at range now.

they lowered the aiming sensitivity now also...there is a delay when panning from left to right making quick scoping the only way to use the damn thing. They might as well simply remove the snipers if they want to make them unusable.

 

Line of sight has been increased for enemies as well. Before the update you could snipe the enemies guarding the package (the two at the top of the stairs in the hangar) in The Los Santos Connection from the tarmac where the dealer plane sits...now you are instantly spotted from that range and they duck for cover. You have to move to the next farthest tarmac not to be seen by them. The two guards near the jeeps can still see you though and instantly begin running toward you.

No Hay Bronca has been violated. I'm thinking about putting up an unlisted video so I can show you guys the mess they've made of this mission.

Can it still be done with a tank or a Buzzard?

Yes, in fact, now that I think about it, it has been optimized for tanks and buzzards.

[Tails Prower]

I'd like to see this violation for No Hay Bronca.

 

I did this for the first time in ages last night and the only thing I noticed

that was any different was the gang boss made his escape on a lowly BMX instead

of his Phoenix.

 

Felt kinda sorry for him as he fell off his bike and I sat on him with my car

till death...

not new...nothing has changed. The boss still gets stuck behind the gate in one of the yards also. The boss has several means of escape in this mission.

[xoC18H21NO3xo]

The cars were not where they are normally placed. Some were placed in the middle of the street and bad guys were showing up in places I'm not used to.

[Adeel007]

And this - 1.14 - when having 2 star cops - killing other players will get you 3 stars - even if you don't kill any cops - shooting at cops tyres with 2 stars will also lead to 3 stars - so its easier to get 3 stars now

[Ai®a©ob®a]

There is already a thread for this...

 

Ok What Has 1.14 Changed

[Kampioen]

Kinda hard to tell how much of this is true and how much of it is just people thinking they've noticed something.

[QuackinAColdOne]

 

 

1.14 - Car spoilers now increase traction (don't know if this was in the Patch noted or not)

Proof?
