ValidSpider Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 This needs clearing up. So, as most of you already know these hats were supposed to be included in the July Independance update, appearing in special crates as the other 4 did. However due to a bug which Rockstar didn't admit to, nobody was able to obtain them without the use of mods. As part of the Christmas Festive Suprise update, Rockstar enabled special crates to drop containing new items and previously released items, including beer hats. They announced that it would be one item a day BUT they did not officially announce what items were dropping and when. Anyone who said that any of the items that did drop during the event were 'officially released' were wrong. The ONLY time they have confirmed what is dropping is AFTER the event on the extended weekend for people who couldn't get on because of the hacking going on at Christmas. Most days during the event, everyone was getting the exact same item each day and no others. So when the beer hats dropped, people ASSUMED the same concept would apply. The day when MOST players claimed they got Supa Wet Beer Hats from crates, a few claimed they got Blarneys and because 80% of other players didn't get them, the idea was disregarded and deemed as fake or a bug. The same happened when MOST players got Patriot Beer Hats and a few claimed they got J Lager. The thing is, there's plenty of reasons and evidence to support that these hats were INTENDED to be dropped and that they aren't a game bug. - The hats didn't drop in July and Rockstar would want to make up for that - There was no compiled list by Rockstar stating each item that was going to drop, meaning anything could have dropped. - Both hats dropped on separate days, it is unlikely that a game bug would split them up like that so evenly, seems controlled. - When a user asked Rockstar if these hats are in the game, they replied with a generic message, not confirming they were or weren't intended https://support.rockstargames.com/hc/communities/public/questions/204041936-Beer-Hats?locale=en-us - I lost my hats during the hacking, claimed for them and they gave them back, they would not have reinstated them if they didn't intend for thier presence in the crates. There are only a few reasons why the hats could have NOT been intended and were simply a bug and quite frankly, they are weak reasons. - 70,80 or 90% of players tried but couldn't get them - Rockstar didn't announce their presence That's it, no other real reasons. So the whole point of this topic is to make everyone understand that the hats DID drop and were INTENDED to be in the crates. Whether 80%+ of people got them or not doesn't make any difference because 20%+ of people did and they didn't mod or cheat for them. The problem is that people don't want to accept that these hats were intended to be dropped because if it's true, most will be without them for good and it's hard for the completionist type if player to except they are without content. Plus there is no word on these returning in crates in the future. So let's not allow faith and hope to taint the reality, these hats have intentionally dropped and all without them have unfortunately missed them. I know il get loads of angry completionists (who didn't get the hats) digging me at the throat for this, but Iv seen many confused people on here and on support so it's worth clearing it up for them. If you've got them, you're lucky and should appreciate them. If you haven't, don't worry there will always be other exclusive items to get your mitts on in the future zXy 1 Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/761656-j-lager-and-blarneys-beer-hats-the-reality/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maya Echo Visari Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Jesus H Christ man. It's just a stupid hat! I pick up loads of special crates using the Besra. But they're always these stupid beer hats, and on average, they're beer hats I already have. Why can't the special crates contain items that are actually worth picking up? RP is useless, it's always a minigun, molotovs that disappear if I disconnect and ugly beer hats that you can't wear with the only hairstyles that don't suck. The T-Shirts are okay, but can't the crates contain like $10,000 instead of the usual chump change?

I can tell you like these hats ALOT Where did you get that idea? In all honesty the reason I wrote it was because I'm sick of hearing about them. People can't except they have been dropped so Rockstar support is filled with questions and demands on them. I hoped this topic would stop most of that.

TheOddGamerYT Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Proof that Blarney's and J Lager were not intended to Drop.

Tried to lie to R* to get a Blarney's xD https://support.rockstargames.com/hc/en-us/requests/4068788 Seems to have expired but I see where you're coming from. Problem is I lost both hats from the Christmas crates and contacted support, within a day they'd confirmed that I'd lost them and re-instated them to me, so unfortunately that proof is invalidated. Truth is we'll never know because if they were intended, rockstar love to keep us speculating ways to get them and if they weren't intended, then we all know they would never admit to such a simple mistake. As proven before with the aparent fire truck hose 'mistake'.

Red Lynx 23 Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 The Pibwasser beet hat is still my favorite. Having gone through a Lazer Pilot flying right into my Buzzard for 1-1 kills, driving to the crate in my Adder, and having to kill four Lost MC and three other players after the crate for it. Then driving out of there while being shot at by one of those other player's Micro SMG.
