GTAO Beer Hat Glitch

[kushnstien]

Okay guys i may have found out a way to get free beer hats. Seeing that people randomly got the hat after switching their character, i wanted to try some testing and it worked! Here it is

 

XBOX

 

 

1: Switch to your secondary character you're not getting the hats with.

2. Go and delete the Independence day DLC from your HDD.

3. Re-download it on GTAonline (Press A on the loading screen to go online) , start up online and make sure you're still that Alt character

4. Switch to your Main character.

5. It should be in your inventory ( Try checking your wardrobe in your house)

6.You can get the Happiness shirt in a Store (I got one there anyone else?)

 

 

 

PS3:

 

 

Starting on the character you don't want the hat for, go back to story mode (Leave GTA Online) and quit the game.

Kick the disc out and go to your Game Data Utility Folder. For GTAV, you'll have 2 items... Delete the one that DOES NOT have "Install" in the title. If you hit triangle for information, the one you're looking for will actually say "Version 1.15". Delete it.

Shut down the PS3. Once powered down (Red light) turn back on.

Sign back into your account and put the disc back in. It'll ask to update, select OK (hit X). It'll take a bit to download and install. Just let it do it's thing.

Once done downloading and installing, the game should start back up. Let it go into story mode.

Once story mode is loaded, go online, picking an invite only session. You'll go online with the character that you don't want the hat for.

Once online, simply pick "Switch Character." Once the switch is made, go to your special hats and you should have a new hat, with a star beside the name.

These are the EXACT STEPS I followed and it worked for me. working on seeing if it works the same for both characters. will edit once my updates are downloaded and installed... As I said, it does take a bit.

Thanks Bill!

 

 

PS3 method 2:

 

 

1) Switch to the character you DO NOT want the hat on.

2) Once the characer is loaded, pause the game and leave GTA Online back into Single Player.

3) Once Single Player has loaded, hard press the PS3 button on the controller and select "Quit Game".

4) Once you are in the PS3 XMB, turn off the PS3.

5) Turn on the PS3 and load up GTA into Single Player.

6) Once Single Player is loaded, start an Invite Only Session.

7) Once the Invite Only Session is loaded (you will currently be on the character you are NOT getting the hat or shirt for), swap characters.

8) After the swap has happened, you go right ahead and check your inventory and see what hat you were given.

9) When you are ready to do it again, take off any hat you are wearing and start back at step 1.

 

Thanks Fennimoe!

 

 

 

I currently have FOUR hats doing this, i will try for three if one doesn't disappear since im not wearing it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Let me know if this worked for anyone else.

 

NOTE: This isnt a 100% method!

Many people find the methods not working. You will need to unlock crate drops from Ron

Hmmmm...

[AlienOne]

I don't have a second character, nor do I want to make one

[Maxxeine]

Do you keep the stuff you got? I.E Vehicles, clothing, etc.

Yes i haven't lost anything

[Biohazard Abyss]

I shall try this.

 

F*ck crates.

Is secondary character required? Someone can try doing this without having to switch characters and just delete DLC and redownload it. Maybe it'll work?

Not sure if you DONT need the secondary character, i only tried this because people kept saying they got a hat after switching from a secondary

Ok. Now to figure out how this works on PS3. Since the update adds DLC and you can't get it from a store like XBOX, this is tricky.

[yakprince]

Gonna give this a try right now.

[999bats]

If someone on PS3 could confirm this as soon as possible that would be great

Yes anyone whos on PS3 try out some methods!

[BondageKitty]

Waiting for someone to report success to try it myself.

[YogurtStorm]

I only get home in a little over 2 hours. Can't wait to give this a shot, I'll be on PS3 but hopefully we get a confirmation earlier than later!

 

Wonder if this'll get us the special shirt too

[KornbreadMaf1a]

If this works I will give you a handjob OP. No homo just appreciation.

Its working great for me on xbox, no sign of the happiness shirt though

[RussianCommie]

Has anyone tried this out without a second character and can post the results please?

[Maxxeine]

Waiting for someone to test this on Xbox 360 for confirmation.

[yakprince]

Trying this method it told me i unlocked the happiness tee but no luck with finding it in my wardrobe.

Does the character you start with have to be wearing a hat when you switch to the one you want it on...?

 

I'll try this on PS3 here in a bit, just wanna make sure I'm setting it up right.

Go to the store, should be under "Special" in the T-Shirts (off shoulder for female chars).

That's unfortunate . I'll create a second character for this reason and just do it the original way you posted OP. Thank you for posting this for everyone.

[Reckreational]

I'm on Xbox and it didn't work for me. Do u have to have it on your alt character?

[WillC-HHG]

Have you searched under tops>special?

[MsWolfe]

I can confirm it works.

[WillC-HHG]

I can confirm it works.

PS3 or Xbox?

You have to quit out on your secondary character

[LightningLord]

Is it possible to get one on your first character?
