Times You f*cked up on gta online.

 

 

°By agreeing to criminal Mastermind in March°

 

It was four random's i had met and all my friends were offline so i was like why not? This was after I had given myself 192million and switched to NG back in November. I just wanted to hit 200Millon really bad on ps4.

 

It was a Thursday around 12:PM EST, we had all met the previous night and agreed to get online at the same time. Now we got all the way to prison break when apparently one of the randoms have to go. Only three people remaining now, we come up to a agreement to replace that person. Even though it's a dick move, Money Talks right?

 

So we find a fourth guy and restart the challenge and BOOM about 45Minutes later the guy we replaced gets online. We're like "oh crap what'd we do?" We ignore the guys messages for a invite to the party. He finally joins by being invited by mistake. He flips out on everyone, calling us "greedy traitors". We tried to explaining to him "Money Talks" he gets even more angrier. Threatening to "Put us on a hit list" we end up kicking him out the party. But then the guy we replaced him with thinks what we did was a dick move and backs out, because he thinks we'll do the same to him. So we end up splitting ways and i end up doing it with my friends / crew.

The time I underestimated this guy in a race lol he kept up and I was quite impressed.... And the time I drove to Los santos in the middle of a war there

PS final. Everything good to go for heading out the bank. I quick whip out my RPG like I know what I'm doing. Team senses this and 1 guy stands back, 2 others quick pop the doors open. Alright, brah, my time to shine, guna show deez guyz w'sup ...unfortunately, I hesitate, the left door closes slightly, trigger pull, KABOOM! insta-death......

 

Forever shamed as "one of those guys"...

[Rewdalf]

Well, everyone started off great.

Instead of piling into one of the three armored Kurumas parked out front, everyone decided that my Gang Burrito looked cooler.

 

It was Series A, so the drive there wasn't even that long and there was no need to exploit the armored car.

 

I was so happy, finally getting to use the Burrito for what it was for.

We looked pretty damn cool pulling away from the apartment.

Headed over to the warehouse, decided to take a shortcut to show off how durable the van-beast was, jumped off the bridge and landed engine-first on top of Trevor, blowing everyone up...

Oh, I'm sure he didn't die.

But I like to think he did.

 

The explosion killed all four of us though, so it really doesn't matter.

Why I don't get a "I completed the Criminal Mastermind achievement and all I got was this T-shirt" T-shirt. I worked all night with the best crew ever to get this and I have nothing to show for, TIFU.

Running across a highway or busy intersection (without looking) to get my car because Johnny on the Spot is incompetent

 

[Receptor]

-trading paint with the last van on vans (setup1 of ps)

-the van randomly switching lanes as i over take, it fish-tails me and mission failed.

-getting impatient on vans, all photos taken. im on foot and standing next to the truck waiting for lester to identify it as the target. i must have stood to close - mission failed.

notice the trend

its the most simple setup so these experiences are embarassing and fustrating for all 4 players

 

-asking a host to set player saved outfits and they actually listen, set it and reply (wow!) - comes to the selection screen and i forget to select an outfit?! i realise when i see my avatar leaving the safehouse still wearing casual clothes

-doing the hack setup on ps - i drive straight to the courtyard to kill the gang but it seems nobody else is there and no enemies - oh wait this is bikes, in im the wrong place.. meanwhile the rest of the crew are clearing out bikers xD

-driving the kuruma off the jump in the ps final, not knowing i need to land it like a stunt jump. i land on upside down and blow us all up.

-beaching the boat on the ps final

Getting done with the Humane Raid heist as a pilot and accidently killing the ground team with helicopter blades trying to land. Since then I always volunteered to be the gunner or part of the ground team.

Shouldn't this go in the Share your stories thread?

[Creme_Brulee]

Well, I got the boat stuck on the finale for pacific standard...hard to explain. I just tried to look like a competent guy and I went across the river like a maniac trying to get a police car to push the boat, just for someone to kill himself. I felt so stupid.

And today, I found a group of competent people for heists, God I was so glad, but in the convoy setup, for some reason the savage would always decide to lock onto me with the missiles (which it never did before) and kill me. So it would always say it was ME who died, and basically, the one who screwed up the whole setup. Then it was the npc in the insurgent with the turret. Again, felt so bad in front of them.

As soon as you arrive and the first Savage spawns, use heavy snipers to take it out at long range. Deal with the convoy, get in the Barracks to spawn the reinforcements. Wait on the bridge and take out the guys in the Mesa's coming at you, snipe the other Savage choppers (one might crash into the mountain on his own) and then slowly take the Barracks to the drop off point with two players in the armed Insurgent and another... anywhere.

 

TL:DR Heavy snipers against Savage choppers.

 

EDIT: As for the NPC's in the Insurgent, this whole mission is easy if you park a few sturdy PV's in or in front of the bridge to use as cover when you snipe a driver or two to halt the convoy and take them all out. Using a Kuruma or Insurgent means you're guaranteed to survive if the gunner aims at you and isn't killed quickly.

Solo grinding missions today before work on 360. Pressed the guide button to check the time while speeding to the complete mission marker. Game froze. f*ck technology.

[SteelBeams]

So my friends and i were doing the mastermind challenge, and we had some close calls before this, but this time i f*cked everything up. It was the setup where you get the Lost vans for Trevor, we got the vans without a hitch, but the drive back was literally hell, bikes and vans with shooters hanging out of the back every few hundred feet, we had almost made it into the city, on the road where Madrazos farm complex is, i swerved to avoid a van, only to find another van hurdling towards me head on, i didnt have anyone else in the van, as one other was driving the other one, and the other two were running interference/defence. I managed to kill the guys in the front of that van that smacked me, but the fricken asshole in the back hopped out and ran around, and domed me as i was driving off...i was spamming body armor and snacks, but to no avail...

 

At that point we had spent probably 8 hours doing heists and setups, the main time waster being the f*cking connection issues lol

 

We never finished the challenge

Haha yes this was my team's exact plan for taking out the initial pesky savage: Snipers. We were all pretty trash when it came to anything related to heists, though. None of us ever brought up doing the criminal mastermind challenge after this fatal, yet hilarious incident.

 

Our crew is doing the 'steal the lectro' setup for the pacific standard, we died a couple times until we got the gist of how to escape with those god awful bikes. But then one of our teammates (we'll call him one eyed willy) just starts repeatedly dying over and over before we even reached the bikes, happens about 10 times and since the guy has a lazy eye in real life we were all having a go at him for 'being blind' 'can you even see what game we're playing?' 'if only you could see how ugly you are in the mirror'. That's the type of sh*t we said to stir each other up. Anyway, he dies again and we're really having a go at him and he's pretty much boiling with rage, at both the game and us heckling him. So I'm like to one eyed willy: 'Ok, find a hiding spot and stay there then come out when we kill all the bikers' simple request, everybody was happy. We're halfway through the setup when willy dies and we hear 'f*ck this game I was sniping 30 meters away how did I got headshotted (willy also had poor vocabulary and grammatical skills). He was apparently at the taxi stand adjacent to the biker compound and as soon as he popped his head out he was 'headshotted'. Okay, bad luck to him, this time we're all like 'willy, stay in cover, DON'T try and help, that's how we're going to win'. We also agreed that if he died inexplicably again we were allowed to make fun of him on the ps4 for as long as we wanted. He was determined, we were frustrated. Let the final game begin.

So this time he finds a different hiding spot that's across the road from the taxi stand but also adjacent to the biker's compound. It was that house with the blue tarp fencing. We were mowing down our biker friends when we see the little notification pop up 'willy died'. He screams out all these lebanese profanities, then shouts "HOW THE F*CK CAN YOU GET HEADSHOTTED THROUGH A FENCE?!!?! and we hear a lound symphony thudding and kicking coming from his mic. The three of us are dying of laughter, it escalates when, what sounds like his mother bursts through his bedroom door and yells something along the lines of "I'M TRYING TO F*CKING SLEEP YOU LAZY EYED SH*TBAG!" and slams the door shut. Silence for about 3 seconds to commemorate his loss of dignity. Then we all continue laughing hysterically and hounding him for the incident that just occurred before our eyes (well, i guess ears). He was a good sport though, he didn't sign out even as we were bagging his partial blindness and raging mother and just took it like a man, we attempted the setup a couple more times but we were succumbing to the laughter the whole time so we sacked GTA for the night and just bagged him in party chat for a while longer. He left halfway through, but we didn't even notice or care.

 

I'm so grateful that the blue tarped fence adjacent to the biker's hangout could be shot through.

 

We still make fun of him online daily.

the time i hounded a host to put the set up mission on hard, then died like straight away

°Allowing a player to drive my car °

 

A random asked "can i drive your t20?" I reply with "sure" he kills me and tries to drive off, but luckily i kicked him out of it lol. And sniped him multiple times.

[Davey Boy]

About an hour ago I was playing the Station setup in PB. I was hosting and a level 17,24, and 29 joined but I left it on Hard anyway. The 24 and 29 was on the Cargo Ship and the 17 was with me. The level 17 and I did our part successfully and we were chilling in my apartment waiting for the other two to get finished.

 

They still haven't got the Casco and I figured they were going to fail but after 5 minutes they got the Casco and drove to the destination flawlessly. I thought to myself that these people played great for their level so I sent them all a text message saying "Good job :)"

 

After 15 seconds, the driver stopped to reply to me I guess and during that, a car full of enemies came up and capped the driver and passenger, killing both and causing all of us to fail. What makes it worse that they were on the road that leads to the destination when he stopped.

 

The driver left, causing me to feel like sh*t

[XGamerz808]

Even though I know most of the invites to heists I receive will end the same way, I still decide to try join them anyway. Worst f*ck up I could make any day, waiting for 2 minutes in the clouds and being teleported all the way to my apartment.

Well, with people you know you can do that! Nice to see not everyone is using the lazy way to beat missions.

 

But if you are still having trouble with that one, consider the fact that shortly after you leave the compound, bikers will start spawning to attack you. You don't have to go far, you can drive a little bit up to the bridge or just stay near the entrance of the place. All you have to do now is kill all the bikers and soon enough they'll run out of reinforcements.

 

If the initial fight is tough, a single Armoured Kuruma will do the trick. Drive in slowly, kill everyone with an AP pistol. Someone hops on a Lectro and drives around outside for a few seconds and you can slaughter the rest. Then you can deliver all of the bikes in peace. Assuming noone activates KERS and dies by driving into the side of a building.

Yes, ik that, but my group of friends (who were supposed to be better at my at heists) would always keep on going and hide behind some logs, and I followed them there. Eventually I got mad and I just stayed in my spot sniping the heli while they were honking at me, lol.

I didnt know they shot rockets tbh, I thought they always used the machine gun (which isnt explosive btw) so I thought it was fine to follow them there and just destroy it when it got close.
