'You are holding onto more than 5k in cash...'

[StormerBoy]

Everytime you go over 5k in cash, this thing pops up. But the truth is, even having less than 5k can get mugged off you right?

 

If I remember rightly, when online first came out, when you had more than 5k in cash, everytime you died you dropped 500, and this could be stolen/picked-up by other players? Is that correct? I assume that's what the message actualy relates to.

Its just a reminder to bank your money so you dont lose it.

You can get mugged for $0-$10,000.

Im not sure about the last part.

Im pretty sure if a player kills you the most he can pick up is 500 but idk if you lose anything else. I will have to check next time.

What I do is stop for a few seconds and just make a deposit.

 

Better safe than sorry.

 

And yes if I Pasa Ta mi Squee you and all the cash you have not deposited drops and I can just pick it up.

 

Please always make the deposit buddy.

So you're confirming that you drop cash when killed in Free Mode? Current gen.

Yes.

But I was testing earlier and got some odd results.

When I killed myself and had over 100K in hand I did not seem to lose any money.

When cops killed me and I had 100K in hand I lost 200 from bank and 200 from cash.

When cops killed me with all my money banked I lost 500.

 

I am sure if you have over a certain amount, possibly 5-10K and a player kills you, you will drop money and he can pick it up.

 

To be on the safe side, just always try to bank your money.

Ok, like i was doing a VIP Mission, site seer.

 

He tried to ambush me, he screwed up, then i tagged him, got out of my car after then ran towards him and all the sudden i saw 7k added to me...and it made that sound when you pick up something....then in got the 25k for doing site seer in time...

25k for sightseer?

 

Most I ever get is 23k

Players drop no money in freeroam AFAIK. It was removed fairly early - also hospital bills, which I seem to recall could hit $5k.

 

The original mugger limit was 2 or 3K iirc, upped to 10 a while back (10% of what you're holding up to 10k). This is what the tooltip refers to.

Unless it was changed very recently they absolutely drop money on PS4 at least. I pick up money from afk players I have killed quite often.

[Gridl0k]

Maybe they drop the same $21 or whatever that any dead body drops? I don't pay enough attention to my bank balance

 

Plus I've lost my decades-old instinct to go collect whatever that dead person dropped after so much gtao.
