Mundane Utility

You own hydra , cargobob , high-end supercars , special vehicles and...a wrench

usually you use one of your vehicles , say a hydra , for griefing purpouses or grinding

in a rare moment , you use hydra... to get any convenience stores to pickup groceries.

 

Mundane Utility is described like using a weapon for mundane purpouses (usually for daily life) other than killing : Molotov for improptu Torch , Hydra's afterburner for barbecue party , cargobob's winch to stack vehicles , be a calligrapher by using jerry can , wasting your minigun ammo to draw something on vertical surface , just sitting on your favorite motorcycle to heal yourself under biker status , and the most common yet since F&F update, using owned CEO buzzard to get anywhere very fast
aside of using CEO buzzard , i used my sticky bomb on my PV to make makeshift siren , teargas on cutscene for humorous effect and rhino's turret to play a golf
non-weapons are also count as long as the use was other than it was intended ( snapmatic meant to take pictures , but doubles as binocular )

Using BMX to climb buildings rather than using lifts (which are not present anyway).

Using tall ground vehicles as stairs or steps to climb spaces not accessible by jumping.

Calling 911 to get a firetruck so i can wash up anyone or anything or just clean the ground.

get a seashark and somehow get it on the beach and get a friend to push you so you can sand ski around.

hit and run people over and use their blood to get a unique red paintjob on my matte black Nero.

get a hammer and give your vehicle a custom bodywork.

Edit:

Use grenades as non-impromptu drag race trigger,

 

Airport runway lights (Blue,red,yellow) as extra lights for that good effect in shots,

Getting on the back of truck that can let you stand on it without falling like a sack of potatoes and use it as a makeshift taxi to get yourself away from your current car so you can call another one.

I use snapmatic for binoculars and for spectating fights

I use CEO and MC buzzards for exactly why you said

I use my motorcycle to heal, like mostly everyone does

Yet I've never used my wrench to fix a car. Gonna do that.

Nah nah nah Gta 6

i use the minigun to move destroyed vehicles or even props, mostly when im on my yacht and my destroyed helicopter is taking up space.

 

i occasionally use my insurgent to climb onto buildings i otherwise could't climb, i do a similar thing with the ruiner 2000 as i jump from building to building to get somewhere a little quicker.

Tear gas grenades make for great fog machines in Director Mode.

I use my Insurgent/Kuruma/DoD to push player's "locked" vehicles out of the street.

I did it only a small handful of times when that particular update came out but my buddy would call in his Ramp car and I'd call in my Adder (it was my quickest car that I owned) and he'd ramp me as quick as he could. The physics would go mental as it could send me spiraling higher than what would be realistic. That way I sometimes could land on rooftop of small apartment buildings and I'd camp there with CEO "Off The Radar" (3 minutes) and just chill with a sniper rifle. I got great kills that way and no victims knew what hit them most of the time. Fully recommend anyone giving this a shot if the Ramp car still is buggy/weird, haven't seen one in ages.

Exhaust backfire to light up gasoline trails that leads to a dead body is always a good one.

Using a grenade to signal a countdown/start for a drag race.

Shooting the middle of your tires to lower your car but that's more dumb gameplay/physics rather than utility.

I had to dig for this one but this is Steve, one of my mates, using his minigun in one of his offroad meets to push a bad offroader (only RWD) up this hill. It actually works really well, do not try if you don't have armor on your vehicle...

i am using my heavy sniper and heavy revolver a lot when in missions some vehicle has to be blown up :p

 

Besides that i also use my minigun a lot to push blown up vehicles out of the way, if for an example, they land on my bike

well i use ramp buggy with my friends who use RVoltic and we run straight at each other, once the friend gets high in the air he already has his car pointed up and boosts up the rocket going higher, though around after few jumps the RampB and RVoltic don't really stay in the shape to do much.

As for the lowering the car there's already a mod on PC for SP that shows that all the thing that you need to make the car stanced are already in the game, R* is just lazy to create a script to make it accessible in the online.

Using my hammer to remove nails that stick out, don't step on those!

 

Deep in the jungle, I use my machete to cut away those peskey branches!

 

And lastly, nothing better after hunting game then using your own rotorcraft to chop up your catch. Mind your hands!

Ruiner 2000, can fire missiles, chaingun with infinite ammo, jump and parachuting.

 

Mundane Utility: Can get you to pretty much ANY building rooftop, except the skyscrappers in Downtown LS, allowing you to reach any vantage point for sniping.

I am fond of stunt jumping motorcycles over moveable objects, like dumpsters, so often I'll toss a sticky or grenade to blow a dumpster out of position.

It works great in Survivals, too, to create unique cover for yourself.

I also use a car to move dumpsters or wood palettes into different positions for jumping.

You can even do it with the portable toilets! Great to jump a Bati off to get some air. :)

while meth and cocaine factory are my used business , other 3 business are meant for hideout purpouses rather than money-making

 

Hunter even said to me the green screen on forgery are useful for video-editing purpouses ( he mostly import the edited reaction of his character )

The pipe wrench melee weapon added in Bikers m8.

 

Anyways, side note; I don't need a Molotov to light up a dark interior when the Halloween update delivered a Flashlight ;)

Wait, the wrench can fix a car?

 

Anyhow, using my bike to drive up walls, usually to get over high obstacles.

Haha. We should have a repair war. Hammer vs Wrench, which is the better mundane utility? :lol:

:facedesk: Sarcasm. If it did, we wouldn't be driving back to our garages 24/7 with our ride crumpled like paper xD

Also, you'd probably know right now if it was too :/

i use my fluffy penguin masks in heists, not to hide my crunchy face, actually to show my sparkly face hihihi!!!

 

i also use the shiny merryweather red smoke for being tourist guide, so the other players follow me in missions hihihi

Well, when I get one of my personal vehicles stuck somewhere (for instance, propped up so the drive wheels aren't making contact with the ground), I'll sign up with SecuroServ, simply to call for an VIP vehicle...

...not to drive instead, but just to nudge my PV into a position where I can drive it again! :beerhat:
