What's the point of MASKS?

[SALO or The 120 Days Of Sodom]

Obviously for novelty reasons. As if you'd go as strap police tape around your face and then go rob a bank. Just a bit of fun.

well ofcourse some masks are just for laughs.. who robs a store with a middle finger drawn on a paper bag? lol

It would be cool if R* add more heists and if you don't wear your mask during them, upon returning to freemode the people you stole from relentlessly send people to killl you.

Just found that the gas masks don't even protect against tear gas...

Heists are in their infancy. They may change the purpose of masks later down the road.

or they may not....

Lol, Im surprise it seems people dont know this. When you put your mask on it hides your ID. After the heist take off or change the mask and you instantly loss a wanted star.

Edit: This has been like this since day one, including in freeroam.

so ashamed i never knew this...rank 216..

wow..

It can be a huge help, really speeds up lossing your wanted level

i gave trying that long ago...

early in gtao i tryed and the wanted level never dropped so i simply keep robbing stores without mask.

I dunno if this helps, but, your have to be outside of the search cones with stars flashing when you take it off.

 

Get down to one star and take it off may help also.

Masks are fun.

Fidelio, brother. Fidelio.
