So had a Weapon Supplies mission for Agent 14 and my brain has forgotten if you can unstuck yourself.

 

It's the one where you have the boat with the supplies and have to take the boat to shore but I managed to 'beach' myself on the way and now I don't know if it's possible to unstuck the boat or shove it back in the water, is there any way to recover this for next time since I quit and restarted another mission than have a fail...

Have you got an Atomizer? That might help.

Tried that but boat would not budge.

The new update fixed my AutoShop and Office! Finally the Assistant called and I was able to buy a Special Cargo (Diamond-and no one chased me-easiest mission ever!).

 

My question is can I keep the special cargo (worth $130k) until there is a double money event (and have it worth $260k)? BTW-I already did one sell mission that payed double money for one time only (a special with the new DLC drop).

Yes, you can leave your warehouse with crates as long as u want, just remember that after X amount of crates (the amount depends of the warehouse size, ik that large ones have the limit of 75 crates), raids start happening.

[ambi3nt]

Special cargo raids are really rare for whatever reason. I used to keep full 5 warehouses for months without one. Also even if you do get a raid, you can simply change session and it automatically ends without a loss (as long as you don't wait around). Don't try this with other businesses ofc, because cargo warehouses can't be shut down, so they don't "care" about session swaps.

Anyone have this problem with the new update? on PC. ?

*HOLD Break and Rev up car motor? rev don't work now? it does nothing. no gas when holding break.

 .. even closed off game and reloaded it. same thing..

 

 Oh well.. the updates are ok.. besides that...  a small price to pay. i guess...

 I liked holding my break and reeving up the engine tho. and doing donuts...

When you say "hold brake" do you mean the reverse button or the handbrake?

Is it possible to color the Scramjet's Go Faster Flames livery in white? I think I had it before the update removed my car.

Is the "The Record Holder" award still available to get for regular players?

 

I got it back on PS3 but having started over it's kind of looking impossible with world records having been set on any race I try (regardless of race type or amount of laps) and I'm just wondering if people are still getting it through bugs.

The posts from back in 2013-2014 that I found on the topic don't really offer any helpful or accurate information.

If anyone can confirm that they got the award when they didn't actually set a world record, that'd be nice. Extra details welcome too, ofcourse.

Thank you!

I think you can still set World Records in the Arena Wars racing mode. I don't know what platform you're on, but if you play on PC, you can also try Street Race - Up Your Alley. I haven't checked since this latest update, but that race used to not save laptimes.

Sometimes I manage to get it on one of Tuners races, it's still bugged.

[BlackMilk]

Alright then, I'll make some more attempts on this. Despite getting the award on another platform I would've preferred Rockstar just make an award for beating specific times on X amount of official races instead of having to contend with players that cheat.

We can add Flares or Chaff to the Sparrow now. Which is better?

The Chaff countermeasure disrupts the targeting system from missile launchers, rendering them unable to lock on the vehicle for a few seconds.

The Flare countermeasure drops flares behind the vehicle, which can "disorient" the homing missile in order to avoid chasing the vehicle (The missiles go after the flare instead of the actual vehicle, basically).

Flare it is! 

I doubt if I ever use them, but if my baby wants an upgrade,my baby gets an upgrade (Sparrow)

So I just got my PS5 and transferred my character over from Xbox one. Everything went smooth and the game runs great except I’ve noticed when locking on to enemies I can’t simply flick the right stick in either direction to aim at the next enemy, instead I need to completely unscope and then rescope onto the next target. I’m in auto aim sessions. Is this an issue for anyone else? Are my settings just f*cked up?

You need to change from Auto-Aim(Partial) to Auto-Aim (Full) in settings in the main menu or SP

Has anyone else got a problem with crew emblem on track jackets showing a gray box instead I showed support with pics and they still insist on taking a video on the problem even though my pics shows what it should look like Vs what it actually shows on the jackets. At the end they closed my ticket without solving anything

Yeah they've f*cked something up. Interesting enough that those logos show up properly in various cutscenes, but not when you are actually playing.

Been thinking about purchasing a bunker while they're on sale, and since the missions can be done in invite only lobbies now, but I was just wondering before I make the purchase. Does location matter much? I've seen some people say some locations are better than others, some worse. I like my businesses to be as close to Los Santos as possible, so the bunker I seem to be leaning towards most is Chumash, would going with Chumash be a mistake?

Chumash is the best location as the other locations (mainly pooleto bay) may make some sell missions impossible (you run out of time).

Farmhouse is the best location. Nicely in the middle of the map and physically closest to the city. Especially now with the Ammunation sales added, this is the best placed bunker.

Disagreed. Farmhouse is the better location if money isn't an issue. It is closer to the center of the map, and you can leave in any direction you choose.

Chumash may be further south, but it isn't closer to the city, it's about equal (it has a long stretch of highway around the mountains first)

It's also at the very edge of the map, and you really have to use the roads when leaving on a sale. Farmhouse has more open terrain around it for driving offroad.

Don't you find the personal vehicle spawns annoying in the farm house? I remember switching bunker because of that.

I think both are good based in my memories of the Bunker sell missions so i guess it's up to @Rai1994 if he want Chumash or Farmhouse.

Farmhouse is way better if you're going for the UFO egg

I don't know if this question belongs in this topic or not but, when will the PS4 and Xbox One versions of GTA Online have reached their technical limitations of their respective consoles?
