3,512 Types of GTAO Players

[fw3]

Yes, for sure, there's no one type of GTAO player, just like there's no one type of tennis player or Lego structural engineer.

Everyone is different. Everyone is unique. And special. We get that.

But, if you were to label yourself, you might choose, "Passive player: likes to buy & sell cars, do missions, doesn't want any trouble." Or maybe, "Aggressive type: likes to shoot everyone and blow stuff up."

This, of course, barely covers the full scope of just how many types of GTAO players there are out there, in the field, day to day.

I thought it might be fun to compile a complete, comprehensive list of the many types of players we've all seen inGTAO. Forgive me if it's been done, I'm just trying for something light, entertaining, and informative. If you don't like it, the B&M thread is six threads down from here. Go there.

I'll start it off with a sample format (please keep replies to a min. of 1-5 types. Nobody wants to scroll through 50 descriptions. lol!

The Annoying Passive Follower
Player who goes into Passive mode and just follows you wherever you go

 

Beeping Tom
Super friendly player who pulls up to you, beeping his car horn, as if to say, "Get in!" And when you don't he beeps and beep, until you finally kill him.
Then he sends the message, "Y bro?"

 

The Level 121 Total Racist
Player who is tickled silly by his/her anonymity online and feels free to say whatever obscene, racist comment he/she wants... and never stops.
Everything he/she utters is a agonizing slur against someone.

Look, I Have Zentorno!
Typically, a younger player who is supremely impressed with his Zentorno, one of three cars in his garage. The others are an Elegy and an unmodded Futo.

 

Suicide Mary
Player that completely sucks at PvP fighting, so they plants a sticky bomb on a vehicle and suicide bomb anyone they can online, usually Off Radar.

 

Please, feel free to chime in or discuss the types of players you've encountered! Have fun & cheers!

[Taintedsoul_x]

The only time im annoying passive mode that follow people around is with my crew in our ninja turtle kurumas and constantly honk the person we're following. it's pretty fun LOL.

[Giantsgiants]

The introvert

Someone who avoids interacting with other players and is always by himself

 

The top gun

Someone who can't function unless he gets to rain cannon rounds from his jet

 

The nostalgist

Someone who always thinks that the game was better in the past

 

The glitcher

Someone who exploits glitches all day every day

 

The annoying DJ

Someone who gets in your car and changes the radio station

[Taintedsoul_x]

The dickhead:

The type of person that will continue to use hydra. Once they die they go passive to get another hydra and continue the cycle.

[Creme_Brulee]

The elitist

That one guy who has done all heists hundreds of times, has completed all elite challenges and has done the CMM several times. There isn't a moment in which he isn't in a heist lobby with a carefully selected group of other elitist players.

 

The grinder

Kind of like the elitist except it's that guy who has been grinding missions ever since the game came out and he can't stop! He's probably over level 500 and doesn't do anything else other than doing missions and rest mode his PS4 so he can abuse any event going on to get even more money and RP than he should. He usually plays missions by himself because all the other people do is blow up the objectives, troll and do things the wrong way!

 

The guy stuck in reverse

That one kind of player who goes everywhere in his Zentorno, driving up to other people in reverse because he knows he's too bad to actually fight a group of people without having a bulletproof wall to protect him.

The dumbass;

 

The idiot who continues to text you about giving them "money" because of you being a "Hacker".

Because we all know level 287 is a hacker.

[Diana McFarland]

What about the people who enjoy lobby banter and spends their days making outfits and hosting Yacht parties.

[Arrows to Athens]

The neutral:

 

I like to cruise around in free roam in my cars, and will, most of the time, not kill unless provoked. Sometimes I may kill if someone is too close to me, and I don't trust them. Bounties I will go for, though. I play contact missions daily as well.

[Hellbendzor]

I'm definitely a 'the grinder'... Hehehe... Most of the time alone, as I don't want to waste my time on folks who deliberately mess things up... Recently I'm enjoying more Heists, but only when 2/4 players are gamers I know to be serious about completing them...

 

Wrt the honking folks in their cars.. I never understood that.. U enter their cars and they just drive around senseless in all directions... No goal whatsoever...As funny as it is annoying... Most of the time I get in my car/on my bike and drive off as fast as I can... As fast as if they're trying to kill me/bore me...

The gold digger

 

This nice guy will enter your lobby and write in chat "MONEY PLS" "HACKER MONEY" "INEEDMONEIPLS" and will stay there spamming the chat until someone insults him or he gets bored and try to get lucky in another lobby.

[Nick1020]

The K/D lover:

Anyone who commits suicide at low health to avoid getting killed by who ever.

 

The Marksman spammer:

Only uses marksman rifle. Usually kills himself if you get on lock on range.

 

The Sh*t Talker:

Talks sh*t 24/7. Usually is sh*t at pvp.

[Hermes!!]

The Good Hacker: The kind of guy who creates fun and banter with his hacks. For example, spawning modded cars.

 

The c*nt Hacker: The one who openly says that he/she takes pleasure in blowing you up, freezing you, turning you into Frosty The Snowman, etc.

 

The Beggar: Constantly asks if a hacker is present in the session for money.

[Coleco]

The Coleco

 

Stunningly good looking, truly amazing taste in clothing and vehicles. Really humble. Never sh*tposts on GTAF. Ever.

 

 

 

 

No?

 

Okay, that's fine. How about this:

 

Tacticool Operative

 

If it's military grade, this player has it. Even if it means wearing five different variants of bulletproof vest simultaneously. Generally prefers combat rolling to any other form of movement.

You asked the question above, "No?" but I say, "Yes!"

Your whole post got me to chuckle, especially the combat roll!

(mmm... combat rolls, the tasty breakfast biscuit for the wannabe militant in your household)

[Jenkiiii]

The Runner

 

sh*ts their pants and runs when people get close, remaining at least a block away at all times, never taking their eye off the mini-map.

[Mini Madrazo]

Accurate af

[SideStunt]

The High Roller

A player who has lots of green thanks to heists, shark cash cards etc. - but mainly shark cash cards. That player's preference of clothing, vehicles and weapons appear to be various suits from the Business and High Life Updates, golden painted T20's, Armored Kurumas, and other ridiculously expensive vehicles along with silenced Micro Uzis and Assault Shotguns bearing Yusuf Amir's specially designed paintjobs made out of pure gold - or either the cheap and glossy golden camouflage straight from Call of Duty. Usually hostile.

[zoso80]

I like this. Not really avoiding though, just doing my own thing.

 

Guilty of it though chilling out in Paleto Bay all by myself known to go into passive the second a random shows up.

 

 

The introvert

Someone who avoids interacting with other players and is always by himself

I guess I'm a neutral then, perfect description of my play style

[Nomis24]

The Kuruma dependent:

Always in a kuruma and they never take the risk of going out while doing a mission.

 

The freemode wannabe warrior:

Always in his insurgent or his hydra.

The time traveler...

 

You see someone driving a car minding his own business and start shooting at him only to have him hit 88mph and POOF, he's gone. He appears instantly on the map in his apartment because he used a saved heist and Lester to teleport away from you.

 

I do this frequently to deal with unwanted battles.

I'm curious... what about them? Please elaborate. You've got me curious!

 

HOLY F!!! I just noticed your avatar blinks

Had a 10 second staring contest, thought I was going nuts for about 4 of them.

 

OT: I'd say that might be a "Socialite"

 

I'd fall under this type...

Slippy Stunter

Easily evades predators by hopping over obstacles yet might be found dead seconds later in a pool of blood due to its' clumsy ways.

 

l like this type of player...

Conscious Collaborator

Plays their own way and plays well as a teammate. The player that is covering you when you fall off your bike during a heist / setup then leads the way to victory.

[LieutenantLoserz]

My final set of types, for now

 

The Follower: drives whatever is popular at the time due to a youtuber saying something about it

The Apex Predator: the person who is good at pvp and is actually a challenge to beat

 

The Forumer: someone from GTAF you find online

 

The Glitcher: self explanatory

 

The Free Flyer: flies in planes, any kind but is never hostile, would rather run than defend themselves

 

The Stunter: Stunted Pilot who is very good at things, can fly through tunnels

 

The Advantage Taker: person who snipes you while your fighting someone else, not associated with them they just wanted the kill

 

The Hijacker: person who kills you as your entering a plane then takes it

 

The Pegassi Punk: Uses a Zentorno, Infernus, Vacca, or Monroe bullet proof back to shoot you

 

The Michael Bay: uses RPG instead of actual shooting skills

3,512 types of GTAO Players ... And I can barely get a session with more than 3 other people.

 

On topic:

 

The Helicopter guy/girl:

 

Loves helicopters, has many hundreds of hours of flight time in them, to perfect his or her low-altitude flying. Has become pretty efficient at hiding behind buildings and killing stuff, but he/she feels nauseous at the sight of the homing launcher, and often feels a strong urge to say "Mmmmm, *insert helicopter name here*". May or may not be helisexual.

 

The Chihuahua:

 

Resides in Rockstar's handbag, viciously barking and biting at anyone who dares to criticize his/her master.

 

The disgruntled one:

 

Generally has played the game for a long time, and has become bored and disillusioned. His or her feelings may be exaggerated by a lack of new missions, game balance, etc. May or may not refer to Rockstar as C*ckstar.
