OK what has "Executives & Other Criminals" changed?

[kk9fan97]

well that's just terrific. There is apparently a new god mode/passive mode exploit, that allows VIP's to not be killed... I just blasted a vip that was in a Buzzard with a bunch of RPG's and sniped him about 10 times and it never killed him. Then he lifts off and he and the helicopter go transparent. This is on PS4 by the way....

 

and glad I got video of if when I did, the game just did a session split for the 300th time this week.

 

I called him out on it, and according to him the kill list event was going on.... (I events hidden so that could be part of it), but there was another player in a Buzzard that I could lock on to just fine.

FreightTrainWTF just posted a video about VIP god/passive glitch. It'll be around for a week or so until they can patch it.

Yeah it was in the patch notes. They didn't say why.

you could get into the back of it when the door was open and fall through the bottom of the Insurgent. People were probably exploiting it somehow.

General / Miscellaneous Information/Changes/Improvements:(NG- PS4, Xbox One, & PC ONLY)

►Game Tips: Becoming a Successful VIP and Bodyguard:

◆The recently released Executives and Other Criminals introduces new business opportunities for the ruthlessly enterprising, courtesy of the SecuroServ private security corporation. Whether you’re an established magnate in need of a reliable protection detail for your empire, or an ambitious upwardly mobile employee eager to earn some hard cash no matter how dirty the work – we’ve assembled the following keys to success to help you make your mark.
Executive Summary:

◆VIPs and Bodyguards are defined roles of employer and employee – who work together to succeed in VIP Work and VIP Challenges as well as escorting the VIP through the dangerous and unpredictable streets of Los Santos.

◆As a pocket-padded VIP, you can indulge in the lap of luxury or wreak criminal havoc, safe in the knowledge that you're in the care of experienced, well-armed bodyguards, personally selected by your good self in true executive fashion.

◆As the Bodyguards, get paid for doing what you enjoy - exercising decisive action. By becoming a Bodyguard, you can rely on a steady, periodic salary of GTA$5,000, on top of any additional cash and RP for taking on VIP Work and VIP Challenges that happen within Freemode.
Becoming a VIP:

◆If you want to take the lead as the boss of the group and be the VIP, make sure your bank balance is healthy. You don't have to pay out anything to become a VIP, but you will need a minimum balance of at least GTA$1M in capital to begin your reign.
◆Open up the Interaction Menu and access 'SecuroServ', where you'll be given the option to register as a VIP. Choose this to become a VIP and name your Organization. When you go back in to the Interaction Menu with your new status, you'll find the Option 'SecuroServ VIP' now available. From here, you can start living that VIP life.
◆While building up your executive empire, it's worth remembering the following to help you get the edge on your competition and manage your employees:

• VIP statuses last for 4 hours of Freemode play. Time spent in Jobs or Heists do not decrease your VIP timer. Once the 4 hours are up, it's a 12 hour cool down period until you can be a VIP again.
• There can only be a maximum of 6 VIPs in a session at any time. If you join a session with 6 VIPs already active, you'll be given the chance to suspend your VIP status.
• Once a VIP, the entry in the Personal Interaction menu changes simply to 'SecuroServ VIP'. From there, you will have access to the Hire Bodyguards option.​
• You can hire and, if necessary, fire other players as your 'Bodyguards'. You can hire up to 3 Bodyguards to serve and protect your Organization at a time.
• If a Bodyguard betrays your organization, or falls foul of your rule you can also end their employment via the "Terminate" option. The other Bodyguards in your organization will have 5 minutes to take out the black sheep.
• You won't be able to be in a session with another Organization with the same name and while there's the option of renaming your Organization, it comes at a cost, so make sure you're certain about your Organization's name before you begin operations.

Working as a Bodyguard:

◆Bodyguards help their employer avoid 'unwanted attention' while earning cool cash as hired hands executing their delicate affairs.
◆To advertise your expert set of skills, simply open the Interaction Menu, select 'SecuroServ' to open up the option 'Looking for Work'. Toggle this on to make your services available to anyone who might be in need of a helping hand and wait for the job offers to roll in.
◆As you get stuck in to the hard graft or building your way up to VIP status yourself, we recommend making note of the following tips:

• Bear in mind that your payouts as a Bodyguard reduce by 5% every time your VIP dies, to a maximum reduction of 50%. Keep your boss alive!
• ​ While in the VIP's vicinity, you can also earn a 100RP bonus per minute and if you die within a certain range of the VIP, you'll respawn nearby your VIP.
• Bodyguards are able to call a vehicle in if the VIP owns it already, or if it's already active on the map.
• You'll get your health regen accelerated and pushed up to 75% while in the VIP's radius. The health regen and RP bonus also apply if you and your VIP are in the same interior space.
• If you're looking to rack up the RP, it's worth noting that Bodyguards receive a regular 400 RP bonus for riding with their VIP, and 600 RP for driving the VIP around.

Additional Pointers:

◆While many have already successfully eased into the smart shoes of VIPs and Bodyguards, for those taking their first tentative steps into this mode, here's a few additional introductory things you should also know to get started:

How payouts work:

◆The Bodyguards earn $5,000 per 15 minutes for being in the VIP's service (regardless of how long they have been in the service for). In return for their salaries, 100% of the Bodyguards' winnings in Freemode (including participation bonuses in Freemode Events), go to the VIP (minus a 10% cut to SecuroServ). An exception to this is personal vehicle sales. Note that Bodyguards also earn an RP bonus when in the vicinity of their VIP and get a small stat increase. Stat increases and increased health regen are particularly useful during modes like Executive Deathmatch.

Q:Does a Yacht count as a property?

A: ◆A Yacht doesn't count towards your limit of 5 properties, but you can spawn there, freshen up with a change of clothes and grab a refreshing drink while you're at it. It does not contain a garage, or a Heist Planning Room, but the vehicles that come with the Yacht package you bought will always spawn there, even if they were destroyed in the last session. You can't sell a Yacht, but you can always upgrade, downgrade or completely re-create it, right down to the name.
How to kick undesirables off your Yacht:

◆Any good yachtsman knows the importance of keeping the ‘

’ away, and so each Yacht comes with built-in Defenses and several Access options to protect your Yacht from unwelcome visitors looking to mooch off your millions. If a stowaway has boarded your Yacht, follow these steps to get rid of them without changing sessions:

• Restrict Yacht Access to exclude the interlopers. You can find the Access options in the Yacht Services area of your Interaction Menu.
• Toggle your Yacht Defenses to 'Off' (so you can access your weapons).
• Kill the unwelcome players. They will respawn on the shore.
• Toggle your Yacht Defenses to 'On' so they can't simply fly back to the Yacht.
• Enjoy your Hot Tub alone or with your closest friends discreetly and in peace!

◆Stay tuned HERE, or at My Youtube Channel, for more upcoming Game Tips including strategies for success in specific VIP Work and VIP Challenges modes as well as in recently released Adversary Modes.

Well as far as I know, and from looking into it seems that that was the exploit...

...getting into the rear of the Insurgent. Oooh ahhhh, wow soo terrible we MUST get rid of this, top priority... ...drop everything, stop working on fixing god mode glitches, stop patching money glitch, this, this one must be fixed IMMEDIATELY!

 

LOL R☆

• Toggle your Yacht Defenses to 'Off' (so you can access your weapons).

This made me chuckle given people have been crying about the yacht 'exploit' elsewhere.

 

Stay out of Malibu, Lebowski.

Lol yup this is my tactic works a charm, also you can throw down proxies turn on defenc, invite people to boat and then wait for the party to start. I have gotten some nice messages doing this.

I'm not prone to griefing but the idea of turning my hot tub into player soup does appeal..

[The Ost]

I've had a couple of bugs when doing time trials. When a new time trial shows up on my map, I can't start it when I drive into the corona. I have to switch sessions first.

 

The second bug is more annoying, if I fall off my bike, I cannot pick it up until the timer runs out.

If it's already been said then sorry, but it looks like they actually fixed the issue with not being able to bring cars with the patriotic tire smoke into LSC. I was just able to get my Adder that has the patriotic tire smoke into LSC for the first time since before the Executives and Other Criminals update. (I don't use my Adder a whole lot, so I only found this out now)

yeah took them like 2 months to fix that, now they just have to fix the bug that delete saved outfits!

 

the other day i had 6 of my 10 saved outfits deleted by the game.

go to your apartment/house and go to the wardrobe, and go into the outfits menu and select the slots that say empty and they might re-appear. I had three of my outfits disappear a few weeks ago, and when I went in to replace them I happened to select one of the open spots and the outfits re-appeared.

Yeah, I saw the name re-appear BUT the outfit has never re-appeared, the outfit is always saved as what I am waering at the time, I hate it because SOOOO many times I have thought I recovered outfits,. Is that what you are saying you have successfully done, you have found away to recover R☆ Deleted Outfits?

yup, never mind that. It only shows the names of the outfits... good going R*.... three 100% legit, non-glitched outfits gone.

 

if it matters any the outfits I have lost were in slots 1, 6 and 8.

i notice the name of the outfits re appear on the list but the actual outfit never comes back, lucky me i keep pics of them, so i just redo them.

 

even more lucky was the fact that my cop outfit and garbage outfit werent affected, i did lose an outfit that had the now unobtainable green duffle bag(empty).

 

the slots that were deleted 1,2,4,6,8 and 10

[whywontyoulisten]

I lost two (non-glitched) outfits as well, but on a more positive note, the shower in my stilt house now has water as well as steam.

[brose_sfr]

I was able to sell 2 cars in like 20mins...glitch or something new?

owed vehicles can be sold without waiting 48 minutes.

[Gridl0k]

If you're losing outfits, do they have Valentines' DLC content in? The only outfits I ever lost did (variously the boxers, shoes and cupid mask).

[whywontyoulisten]

Nope, all standard stuff. The only outfit I have with a glitched item is still there.

[Tails Prower]

Nope, all standard stuff. The only outfit I have with a glitched item is still there.

 

I think this is your answer.

 

I had this problem over Xmas week as I had saved a Santa outfit with the mask so the game kept deleting my legit ones as it was trying to remove

the glitched outfit.

 

So therefore it will delete all the outfits that it can delete except the glitched outfit, now if you deleted the glitched outfit you would find that the other

slots would work again as it works again properly on my profile.

 

I believe this is R* way of saying ***k you glitchers, we'll let you keep the outfit you managed to get but you can't do any legit gear as punishment.

Have you tried remaking the outfit after Xmas/New Year content was removed?

 

This is R* but I redid all my outfits and they have remained since 5th January, hence my statement above.

win xp is such an awesome OS, very lite to run, the new OS is way too invasive.
