Anyone know about festive liveries for various vehicles?

 

and/or how to get rid of the face mask on the morph body suits. it appears using the telescope removes it and after walking away it goes back on...

[AUScowboy]

Sweet, dripfeed is on! The Sentinel Classic is awesome, has the Leone louver option, great liveries, and is fun to drive and sounds phenomenal. A+ for the Sentinel Classic IMO..

If you add the Festive Loop (horn) to a car, does it stay permanently or only for a limited time?

Last year when the event ended all vehicles with one of the three festive horns were reverted to stock horn so, no. They will be removed.

[UKPortista]

Probably just a weird glitch but my RE-7B still had the Christmas horn on it a few months back....but only when I raced and not in freeroam.

[Verstappen]

Have it too on my Oracle XS, but only on PC which is transferred from PS4. It had removed itself on PS4 but returned on PC.

[Crafty-]

If I cant logon on the 19th, but can play on wednesday, do I still get the free Hermes or is it only if I play on the day?

 

From what fun said we just get a voucher for the car, so potentially it could release later, more likely is that it's just easier that way instead of automatically placing the car in one of your garages.

 

The screenshot of the message that has been posted is identical to the ones we've seen on Xmas day in previous years, so my guess is you need to log in on the 25th to get the voucher

WTF is up with these Xmas bodysuits? They seem unfinished or something.

[REXX]

Gotta say, the bodysuits look 100 times better without the mask Pure black one would be great!

Is there an easy way to keep the masks off without having to stay near a telescope for the next 12 days?

 

The reindeer one with the hood off and the little antler hat would be so good. :'(

The Sentinel classic is a nice car but do they really have to charge 650k for it? There are plenty of dare I say better or more interesting vehicle available for cheaper prices like the ultralight for 500k

It's a great car and well worth the price IMO.

Yup, just equip the LCD earpiece from the interaction menu (left once)

[BLACK DYNAM1TE]

Its yours permanently

Now I just gotta work out how to put a hat on. Do any of the motorbike or vending machine tricks still work? Havn't played a lot of GTA lately.

 

*edit* YES! Motorbike trick still works!!

I was most surprised seeing the Sentinel Classic this morning. Leaks and noobs across the internet had the Hermes and/or Autarch releasing the 19th.

 

Well played Rockstar, well played...

[FrankTheWeedGuy]

so did anyone see anything about a Hermes voucher? I see the christmas trees, the outfits, the sentinel... no word on my screen about a hermes voucher though, was that a false rumor?

Kuruma all day. You can shoot enemies from inside the car and very rarely get hit yourself. You can get shot out of the Insurgent. The Kuruma is a lot faster as well.

Nickel and diming.

 

If R* ever releases more bicycles, we gonna see a BMX go for 250k, 900k to upgrade it to a mountain cross. 50k for chrome wheels. and 1mil to strap on an Alien and make your bike fly.

vending machine in the vehicle warehouse and bunker works (the ones on the street don't).

[burger_mike]

So is the sentinel out?

[_P136_]

Kuruma all day. You can shoot enemies from inside the car and very rarely get hit yourself. You can get shot out of the Insurgent. The Kuruma is a lot faster as well.

 

PVP Insurgent. PVE Kuruma

Thanks. Forgot to mention I'd be using it for PvE. Kuruma it is then. Now off to complete the Fleeca job to unlock the lower price. (And sorry for the OT.)

[BlackMilk]

Is the regular Insurgent on sale or is it the Pickup? Because the Pickup can (since Gunrunning) be customised to become a personal vehicle with additional armour and a new gun.

Kuruma is still the best option for avoiding bullets but the new custom Insurgent is far from useless - especially if you're playing with at least one friend/crewmember.

Get the armed insurgent pick up imo.

Lol the MOC fairy lights and tinsel. So glad the apartment/office trees aren't musical, as that would drive me crazy.

Thanks, I didn't know the Pickup version can be stored as a PV. That probably makes the regular one obsolete, and that's the only one on sale now.
