T20 Cargobob = Best Grief Deterrent

[UrbaneVirtuoso]

While probably too specific to warrant its own thread, I feel this particular thing needs to be stressed. Hard.

 

Everyone's either singing praises or went up in arms regarding the Progen T20, and it's a funny chemistry. To add more this lot, the title should be self-explanatory as you can essentially become the blaring airhorn that can piss off the more toxic part of the player base. More importantly, it's an aforementioned deterrent -- that, and a genuine 'f*ck you' to the Homing Launcher for leaving amicable aircraft redundant.

 

Unless they've a compulsive desire to grind, not often will people take to losing that $27,500 lightly -- the squeakers, in particular. Everybody knows how those are, ape mask and all. Granted, there's methods to circumvent this price -- such as setting bounties, but to literally keep around an empty T20 is as much a circumvention itself. Jerry cans could pose a threat, but that'll be all on you should enemies light it.

 

My recent session bestowed me a bounty, so the Cargobob concept lit in my head. It was hilarious because the instant people saw me flying my super car, they just stood baffled yet wary. Of course, our end result had the masses engage mindless PvP as is traditionally Free Roam... yet to more a serious side, it was really intriguing to serve as a spectator of sorts, minding your own without a reliance of Passive Mode.

 

However, what really, really sells this stunt is that with every time I've tried, the Cargobob is able to soak just enough explosive damage for you to parachute to safety, cheekily taking in potential reactions whilst Mors Mutual Insurance does work. Sure, people could wise up with the Heavy Sniper, but abating that is just a matter of going down with your helicopter. Crash into something to home in that expensive point.

 

So yeah, consider trying as a thought experiment; procure yourself that Cargobob through the old Pegasus glitch or a lucky helipad spawn and anchor Progens' work. Compared to lifting other vehicles, I found that you may fight with hooking the T20 a little bit. Peculiar, but not too much a nuisance... so away we go~. Shenanigans will be had one way or another -- whether out or in-game -- so my enjoyment is yours.

get 2-3 T20s in a mule, then do the same thing.

[xInfamousRYANx]

So you are saying if someone homing launches a cargobob and said cargobob exploded or went down taking the T20 with it the rocketeer would pay,

[UrbaneVirtuoso]

Pretty much, yeah. They don't even need to hit the T20.

[GR Choke]

I have to try this!

1. Killing someone with a bounty on their head is not griefing.

 

2. You are not deterring anything, you are trolling in the GTA sense.

 

3. This is in the game since day 1, sure doing it with a $27.5k insurance instead makes it even stronger.

 

4. Go wash some clothes so you can deter the griefing out of them.

The New T20 is amazing, its such a great money killer for wall breachers. I had a little kid by the police station wall breach under the highway and I just kept coming back with my T20 and he would destroy and 27K down the tubes, I think I lost him around 200,000 before he realized.

 

 

So to get away from my Eboner story can you just crash into anything once you get hit with a HL? Or do you do something more specific sorry my interpretation skills suck because of lack of focus and sleep. lol

T-theres currently a glitch working to get the Cargobob?

[SilkRiver2648]

this is why I'm grinding to get the T20

[Nomad0202]

Seems like a lot of effort for $27k you don't get.

Not anymore I think, there was one back in 2013 that let you buy the Cargobob by changing the url in the website.

[DarkSavageDeathlyCloud]

But...unless you have a bounty why woud i even try ?

Also what if i simply hit the cargobob with an explosive canon strike ?

If not...what happens if i just comit a 9/11 in the side of youre cargobob ?

[GR Choke]

Not alot of effort at all! Will be funny to here the reactions

[x_FRoe__]

 

I would just get in my Hydra and shoot the Cargobob directly instead of the T20. What would be the outcome then?

 

I mean if anyone is stupid enough to HL a car being towed by the Cargobob then they deserve to pay the 27k I just personally ain't that dumb.

 

Also this method is trolling so your kinda expecting to get shot surely right? Its like going into the ghetto a waving around loads of money, your ass is gonna get robbed lol.

Wish I could buy a CargoBob to do this easier.

Another "T20 Grief Deterrent" post...it's not. $27.5K is nothing.

 

You may think you're getting one over on someone, but most of those who are out in Hydras aren't going to care. Have fun, though.

Well I didn't buy any igg cars so won't try it. You can do it once easy then you have to go pick up the car again. That's not so easy with players after you as you have a bounty. Especially the mad one who just paid the insurance. But seems to me all it really does is drain players bank accounts meaning some may buy cash cards. You all like Rockstars helpers.

Lol. 27.5k. I'll blow your T20s up all day. I love people who want to shoot at your from their super car cause they think you're afraid to blow it up. I've got enough money to buy your super car, throw some stickies on it and run into you before I activate them and kill us both. I'll pay that insurance twice and still be the one laughing.

[Mattoropael]

27.5k is cheaper than dirt on PC, if you catch my meaning.

 

If I'm hell-bent on killing you, the only thing that gives me mild annoyance is the BS point from blowing your car up, and it doesn't matter if it's a Rusty Rebel or a T20.

How does this play out if you snipe the Cargobob pilot?

[Retired Mafia]

so if a homing is used the cargobob survives so you can jump out?

don't be a sitting duck.

and most players will use rockets or miniguns. but i am not sure who has to pay if the car blows up after falling.

Cargobob is bulletproof

 

There is an angle from behind though, but you'd also hit the cargobob and therefore get the 'credit' for its crash, and the bill, IMO.

[Demoz]

Oh my god. I want that car now haha
