Cool things to do

[DaltonWilliams123]

Escape you're wanted level with 1 type of vehicle. So if you get a wanted level on a BMX, you can only use bicycles.

[GTA Master 007]

I find the rainy/thunder weather cheat really nice for the night and hot/clear weather for the day in sp. While mp has crap weather 24/7, harder to immerse yourself and you can't cheat.

[S1N0D3UTSCHT3K]

try steal an camouflage army semi-truck AND camouflage gas tanker from Fort Zancudo

 

haha it's not too hard to steal the truck and hook of the tanker trailer

 

but it's pretty cool to drive around with a semi-truck and trailer that are both camouflage

 

and even more fun to try lose your 4-stars with it lol

 

 

i like to do it once and while... role-playing that Trevor Philips Industries needs to stock up on business resources

Escape you're wanted level with 1 type of vehicle. So if you get a wanted level on a BMX, you can only use bicycles.

 

actually rules like this are sort of fun...

 

i try to play 'realistic'.... so I try to realistically play in a way that my characters are never easily ID'ed.... M and F almost never commit a crime off-mission and if they do they always have a mask

 

if i fail to do that, I reset the game

 

if I fail a mission (e.g. smuggling or flight school) but don't die.. I still reset the game... if I miss a property mission.. i reset the game... (and i never skip a cutscene)

 

if I die, I reset the game... it makes chases waaaaaay more intense

 

if you've been playing 2 hours and forgot to say and you know you'll reset if you die but you got 4-stars, a blown tire, and no nearby tunnels hahahah wow pretty intense

 

plus it makes your K/D funny

 

this is my 6th file... (i've beat the game 8 times so it's not ALL my stats ever just my recent main game)

Try to use different cars and vehicles to ramp off into the flatbed of the moving train on the tracks in BC

[woggleman]

Try to fly a Lazer under hard places like under Del Pero pier.

[DaltonWilliams123]

Steal a police car then go through the city shooting bullets at random cars. If the stop and get out, find another car. If they drive ff at speed chase after them police style with PIT Manoeuvres.

[killahmatic]

Take a chopper to Paleto Bay and land on the roof of the chicken factory here: (notice the windows under the water tower)

 

 

 

Land your chopper on the roof:

 

 

 

 

I checked that out. Never knew about it before. You don't need the heli though, unless you use it as an escape route, you can climb up to it right from the sidewalk by climbing on the air conditioner on the front wall and then climb on the roof.

You can shoot cars with the stun gun as well to make them do that, or flip them off until they freak out. I have yet to get a wanted level by doing those 2 things, but with a gun I find it tends to give you a wanted level. Stun gun also pops tires and you can fire, hold the fire button while it's recharging and the reticle stays, makes it easy to line up a good shot at the tire without emptying a whole clip of bullets into the car.

[Trevorphilipjfry]

Make other gang members fight each other, or make them fight the police

[Cutter De Blanc]

Shoot down a police chopper using just the .50 Cal pistol. And shots to the tail rotor don't count, do it like a man. Kill the pilot or shoot it so much that it crashes.

 

Get a 4/5 star wanted level on top of a building and see how many choppers you can blow up one after the other in a row before they overwhelm you.

one time, while i was playing, i found the penitentiary parking lot full of Karin Dilettantes.. the thing is, i was driving around in the Liberator.. one thing led to another and.. as you can imagine, fun ensured not long after LOL

 

i guess you coud call that a cool thing to do

[no_snacks]

Travelling around the map on a BMX.

Did this a few months ago. I was really surprised how much fun it was. It was one of the best sessions I've ever had with the game.

I also made a point of robbing every 24/7 & liquor store along the way, & making my getaway just on the BMX. The Sandy Shores train tunnel saved my life several times.

 

 

CONTAINS SPOILERS!!

 

After 'Caida Libre' but before 'The Paleto Score' whilst Trevor and Michael are in exile away from the city due to Trevor kidnapping Martin Madrazo's wife, I'll get Trevor to take a heli and land it on the rear of the pink 'Cabinets and Carpets' building in the centre of the pic below:

 

When Trevor exits the chopper and takes cover behind the raised facade, he'll get a call from Martin Madrazo saying his spotters will locate Trevor.. When a few of his goons show up, shoot a few to get yourself a two-star wanted level and leave it at that, then just sit back and watch the ensuing gunbattle as more of Martin's men and more cops arrive until it turns a quiet little crossrads into a minor warzone..

 

 

But be warned, as more and more vehicles arrive and clog the train tracks, the inevitable happens and the resulting explosion usually freezes my console!! lol.. ;-)

 

 

^^ Oh yeah. I am going to do this right f*cking now.

[Wheatley]

Use the Skyfall cheat and try to aim for swimming pools, shop doors, the blimp, planes or the train. Another thing I do is go all the way to the top of the Maze Bank Tower and try to parachute my way down to the Mile High Club building rooftop.

[Trevorphilipjfry]

 

 

I really need to try this on my next play through, looks amazing, I get giddy enough making the ballad shoot the GSF

 

Also, I quite enjoy doing motorcycle stunts, by doing a wheelie into a low obstacle, and if you've got enough speed you can get some major AIR

Steal a bus, attach a sticky bomb, drive around anywhere and detonate if you go under 50mph like in the Speed movie. The events of that occur in LA.

[Cutter De Blanc]

Rob every liquor store, but take Lamar with you. If he dies you have to start over. I pretend like Franklin is teaching him stuff.

[S1N0D3UTSCHT3K]

Lamar never shoots when Hanging Out

 

Which is weird cuz the programmer to make him shooter is obviously there.. he can shoot on missions.

 

But when Hanging Out he just sh*ts there... it's funny when I'm with Trevor, Franklin, and Lamar, and T and F are going balls to the wall with uzis and Lamar is just sitting there fingering everyone hahaha

 

he can fight hand to hand though i think, i was sure i saw him kick a Ballas once haha

 

and he's fun to Hang Out with cuz he says so much funny stuff hehe

Anyone got any other ideas to do things that involve multiple protaganists?

 

I drove into the petrol pumps as F, and switched to M just before the blast, and robbed it as M like it was a heist.

[catney11]

I love modding SUV's so they are 100% in categories and then using them to run people off the road on the highways, or across the median into head on collisons. They take off sometimes, so you need to P.I.T. them. Can be fun and challenging.

Made sure Michael was at home, switched to Trevor, stole a Jumbo Jet, Lost the 5-0, flew the Jet right at Michael's house, and switched back to Michael. Loud explosion, went outside, the wreckage of the Jet was everywhere. Saw Trevor's charred body in the cockpit. Was pretty cool.

OC- Organized Crime

 

dress all 3 up in suits - mafia type suits

 

1.go to the scrap yard near chamberlain hills and role-play a drug deal gone wrong if the mafia is there

2.go to little seoul and look for the Asian mafia/gang across the street from the gas station

 

Too bad T uses a combat mg ... M uses the Tommy Gun... all he's missing is a fedora

[S1N0D3UTSCHT3K]

got a Pigalle with a traveling rack on the roof and go for a day trip up to Chumash or Paleto beaches

 

 

and try to walk around and explore....

 

i spent 2 hours exploring Chumash last night daaaamn does GTA V have so much amazing unique art

 

it almost feels like a waste... like, maybe 1% of consumers even realize how detailed this stuff is. seems like such a pity that most people have no reason to ever stop and do anything there

anything that involves matching costumes

 

 

so M and T in the Scuba outfit and go boating with the rubber dingy

 

T and F in all-black and masks

 

M T and F all wearing coveralls and matching masks, or hunting gear

 

 

i like putting T and M together in the Highway Patrol or Securicar outfits... but if you take off the helmet off the 'called' guy before you switch to the 'calling' guy, it bugs out to their default outfit (so the gray suit for M and the white t-shirt and joggers for T) so make sure you leave the full outfit on before you switch

 

 

 

i usually think it's weird for M or F to commit too much crime in free roam cuz i don't think it fits their story, so if I do feel like shooting with M or F, I'll usually have them hangout with T and roleplay something like T asked them for help with some Lost or T tricked them into robbing gas stations or something haha

 

i like the idea above^ about robbing gas stations with Lamar and Franklin but you can't put a mask on Lamar

[Payne Killer]

Play as T and call M to hang out. Make sure T and M are in combat gear. Go to the Chinese theater and kill a lot of hipsters.

[Cutter De Blanc]

Switch characters whenever you die. It's no fun respawning at the hospital.

[autotheftgrand]

I pretend Trevor has multiple personality disorder. I dress him up in outfits and do the appropriate activities. Some examples;

 

Retro club owner: dress up in white loafers, suit pants, floral shirt and big shades. Drive a classic car like the tornado. Visit the club properties.

 

Superhero: dress up in the scuba suit and gray wrestler mask. Get a superhero mobile, Cheetah, Bullet etc. Drive around and fight crime.

 

Serial killer: dress up in odd clothing, underwear, ladies track suit etc. Wear appropriate mask, stalk people and stab them with the knife.

 

Tramp: dress in dirtiest clothes, get the big beard. Hang around in tramp areas.

 

Hooker: dress in a dress or ladies sweats and red shades. Get mullet. Hang around with hookers at night.

 

Dockworker: dress in dock outfit. Drive to docks and pretend to work.

 

Truck driver: dress in overalls and a branded hat. Try to match truck to hat brand. Drive around the map listening to rebel radio.

 

So many different possibilities, just have to use your imagination.

[Trevorphilipjfry]

I like creating huge pile ups, and blowing it all up, to create a huge pile of a flaming wreckage.

 

In online, you can stick C4s to the back of other players, and detonate it, and they survive if they're in passive mode, so you can suicide bomb stuff, can be pretty funny.

[killahmatic]

shots to the tail rotor don't count, do it like a man. Kill the pilot or shoot it so much that it crashes.

 

 

Am I the only one that finds shooting the pilot way easier than shooting the tail?

no parachute for him either. Found that out the hard way lol

not a waste, and I think more people realize the level of detail in the game than you think. but yes, there some people that play for days and days and never slow down to see the detail.

You are not. I find sniping the pilot really easy. all you need is one good shot and it's over. sniping the tail rotor requires 2(I always use the heavy sniper, dunno if it takes more shots with the normal sniper) and as soon as you hit it once the pilot starts doing evasive maneuvers so the finishing shot is a lot harder to hit. It's also more entertaining when you shoot out the rotor because the helicopter doesn't just drop, the pilot actually tries to regain control.

[bravemanray7]

hmm, so much ideas here...

maybe I can do some in my console
