what did the medals at finishing a heist job mean and how do they calculate? i mean the Silver, Gold, Platin, etc. at the finish screen. I found no info what this mean and how they will be calculated and did they affect the money i get? thanks :)

anyone who knows this?

 

It's basically the game rating how well you did with your role, with bronze being "poor" and platinum being "near perfect". You'll get bronze if you do poorly with a role (little to no kills if you're a Gunman/Bodyguard/Ground Team/etc., smashing an objective vehicle up as a Driver/Pilot, taking too long during a hacking sequence as a Hacker, etc.) and platinum if you do your role near-perfectly.

 

One example I can give is an experience I had today on a prep mission -- one player was a Ground Team member and arrived very late to the action, to the point of where he didn't appear to get any kills. He received bronze. Whereas the other Ground Team member was lobbing rockets at enemy vehicles and doing almost all of the killing. He got a platinum rating.

 

Hope that sums it up well enough for you. :)

 

yes this helps. but this did not affect the money i get or? ( i think it did not )

Still suffering here to, it will be like this for at most a week. I'm sad at the fact there's no added guns. But what has been added is good enough.

 

BTW, can some help here.

 

My xbox is currently suffering a strange signal problem, it cuts on and off on the dashboard. But appears if I move the controller. It's definitely not the TV as the menus display when the screens blank.

 

Don't want this buggering up my heists potential.

Something needs to be done so people can actually play GTA

R* is working on it. It's not really surprising that there are server issues given how popular the game is and that they're releasing a feature which many have waited for 1.5 years.

I'm surprised that they didn't add in more weapons though the flare gun is quite fun to mess around with imo.

I don't think it does. I know for a fact that it doesn't have an effect on cash gained from the heists themselves, as I got the same exact cut at the end of the heist that was detailed on the planning board (besides the additional cash from completing elite challenges).

 

I haven't run a heist as a non-leader yet, so I'm not sure if it affects the amount of money you get from completing a prep mission.

Whichever pessimist said that this would last for a week needs to be quiet.

Depends on the platform and region, I'm on PS3 and while there have been some small server issues, they haven't made the game unplayable. I was able to pull off a heist today. Didn't do the rest, because some of my friends weren't available and I don't want to play with random people(at least not on my first go).

I played a heist today...In fact we were going through our second play through with switched roles when I had to leave for work.

 

I want to know where the crew emblem is on the new Gang Burrito.

I'll try em later in the week. Today, tomorrow, and day after are going to be swamped. Those that expected the servers to hold weight today are foolish.

no idea why people arent liking the hydra, in my experience it goes much faster than the lazer, has the explosive guns, manouverable in a hover, but maybe hard to bring to a stop in midair if you gain speed

 

i tried it in the deathmatch creator and i will buy it in a heartbeat once the servers start working, so i can play some heists and unlock it

The prison break heist is $4000 or so to initiate it. But I keep getting job failure errors because of the servers. And it asks me to pay for the mission again. Is it taking my money each time?

Luckily Rockstar is working on the servers. Hoping for a quick fix because I'm ready for humane labs heist.

I have a question:

 

When we save outfits now, can we save them with parachutes and masks/helmets equipped? Or is it just purely outfits and nothing else

It saves everything you can equip from your wardrobe which includes masks and helmets(parachutes, I don't think so). I'm a big fan of this feature, but one shame is that I still have to go to the barber shop if I wanna change to a different theme of sorts.

 

 

I see! Thats awesome, would be better if the chute can be done too but oh well this is good enough XD

It may be taking that money every time if the game gets a chance to save, yes, so don't attempt funding the heist any further. The Prison Break heist's investment cost is $40,000, by the way, so it's really not worth the risk of investing into it right now while the servers are all messed up.

I'm definitely going to buy it myself, will be a lot of fun to use. Gonna knock the price of it down to $2,700,000 with that one-time 10% discount for Warstock vehicles.

So after just losing my blista compact sports car, I've noticed that it's no longer showing on the southern San Andreas website. Nor is the dukes and stallion and My friend has lost his dukes.

 

Anyone else lost any of these cars and they are no longer showing on the website?

Got heists payouts !

	Global_262145.imm_6783 = 115000; // Fleeca	Global_262145.imm_6784 = 400000; // Prison	Global_262145.imm_6785 = 540000; // Humane	Global_262145.imm_6786 = 404000; // Series A Funding	Global_262145.imm_6787 = 1000000; // Pacific Standard

They are split between 4 players ( only 2 for fleeca one ).

Pacific payout = 250000 ( normal difficulty )

Payouts are multiplied by 1.25 for hard difficulty.

You get 312500 if it's hard difficulty

I like the Hydra too. The hover mode is fun to use imo. It's just a bit hard to make a stop and you can't aim too low, but it's still the strongest military vehicle after the Savage. Well you could actually out-maneuver a Savage with it. One kinda small problem I have is that the Lazer becomes kinda redundant for everyone who buys the Hydra. It also worries me that we'll eventually start seeing more and more people who own these military vehicles in free mode and it just turns into a big warzone. I wish R* would put some limitations for how often you could order certain vehicles from pegasus.

Yeah, I think some people really believe that Rockstar trolled us with a hover-only Hydra, hahaha. For anyone who hasn't used (or gotten the hang of) it yet -- you toggle the VTOL mode by pressing right on the directional pad.

 

Putting up the landing gear and toggling the hover-mode for the first time today... so nostalgic. Reminded me of the Hydra days of GTA San Andreas. Shame it doesn't have flares, at least not from what I have noticed.

Exactly lmao, ive already seen a lot of comments complaining at how slow it is and handles terribly wtf... These clueless underage kids are so retarded and don't realise the Hydra has both modes..

 

Flares would have made it badass as f*ck, and tbh way too OP lmao.

Missiles are quite easy to dodge. Flares would definitely make it too OP. The Hydra and Savage are really powerful already and it kinda worries me when we start seeing more people owning these vehicles in free mode.

I know its a shame.. They should have made the heist start level much higher than 12 -_- should have made it like 70 or something.

 

Im glad savage has explosive ammo, otherwise it would have basically just been another buzzard..

I personally don't mind the vehicles being powerful, but I think they're too easy to obtain once you've purchased them. I already find it annoying how often I have to deal with tanks. I wish there was a cooldown for army vehicles that starts from after the vehicle has been destroyed. Then they could just buff the tank back to its original health.
