GTAO Kryptonite

[ALifeOfMisery]

Ground PvP. I could say if I wanted to dance in a game I'd go play Just Dance with my 8 year old niece. But I don't want to learn how or play that way, so I suck when it comes to close up rng.

 

I counter my lack of skill in that aspect by almost never giving that type of player the fight they want, I'm a decent in the air and if I manage to get sniping distance away they'll usually need to go passive to get close to me, at that point I've won.

[FukNRekd]

Anything where I have to aim a weapon quickly , including Laser canon. I just can't move that's stupid joystick quickly enough to aim.

 

Give me a mouse and keyboard and I will hold my own against most good players.

 

Driving and flying are easier but still a PITA for me with that dame Gravis pad controller.

2nd that - I suck at ground PvP, mainly because I refuse to resort to rocket spamming and marksman wiggle.

 

Im also not a very good jet pilot but since I got the Starling Ive tried to take every chance I get for practice.

 

Racing/driving and flying helicopters is my strong suit.

[AgentPlum]

I don't have any 'kryptonite' anymore as I will NOT engage with try hards or griefers. I know it is part of the game but if I want to get something done I don't want to engage with these brain dead retards. Crew session, work in peace, sell in peace, no aggro. If I am bored and literally done everything I need I will go to a public lobby and if I see tryhards or people hassling others I get my Kanjali/Deluxo/Oppressor in CEO, put on headhunter but not bother with it and blow them to bits with no BS points

[Mattoropael]

On-foot PvP.

 

Which I bulldoze with an MOC cab anyway, but still.

[Rabid Vulpix]

Daily Simeon Requested Vehicles.

All these years & it seems that I still can not smoothly aquire & deliver one.

Either I have trouble losing cops (even getting spotted after calling Lester), or I slightly dent up the car prior to delivery.

 

It's that weakness of something so small, that is a major thorn in my side.

[Bloodytears1666]

That's motorized wheelchair, I don't understand it completely, nor how it looks nor how you should drive it. I can drive car, fly Rogue and ride bicycle - but not a motorcycle.

[Acky.]

Genuinely time zone. Everyone I play GTA with is in EST and Im in GMT, so it makes it difficult to grind something else other than HP Vehicles or Bunkers which become repetitive and boring if done by yourself.

[MeisterJazz]

R adding new sh*t. I always tell myself that im gonna quit this miserable game but then they end up adding sh*t like this

 

and this

[fw3]

Ground PvP. I can do it the real way, taking cover, flanking, etc.

 

Can't do it the tryhard way unfortunately. Aka dancing around in the street.

I don't actually remember when this became "a thing," but I'm with you on this.

 

It's come to the point where as soon as I see the movement, I disengage. It's both annoying and really silly looking. lol!

 

As I've said before around here, I have no time to be someone else's toy to play with; I'm all about me.

[septimoose]

The clouds. They are my kryptonite. There have been so many times where I've started to load into GTA Online, been stuck in the clouds for up to 10-20 minutes and decided that it's just not worth it.

I have actually been told in deathmatches to "stop RB'ing". In other words, quite using cover and come dance out in the open with assault rifles.

 

This completely defys all logic to me lol.

[Black-Dragon96]

That slapping other people with the rifle stock thingy.

No matter what I do, Im always the one who dies.

[xwinkx_girlYakuza]

Ground PvP. The minute i see someone combat rolling my way.. i'm outta there

 

 

p.s. i can hold my own in dogfights but there are people out there who's so good at flying that i'd never be able to get on their tail even once. Those pilots are unreal!

[IamCourtney]

Ground PvP used to be kryptonite for me but over the last year or so I've grown to accept and enjoy it for the chaos that it is. It isn't likely to ever be majorly rebalanced/reworked, so I decided to just embrace it. Every cheesy tactic has cheesy counters, and I guess we just each decide how much cheese we're willing to eat. Personally I'm down with wiggle sniping, explosive spam, OTR, BST, vehicles, uneven teams, bulletproof helmets. I draw the line at suicide spam, so if a fight devolves into that territory, I just walk away, either literally or find a new session. It isn't perfect and there's plenty I would change for my own hypothetical private GTAO PvP server but at the very least, its unique, and I'll take a unique mess over a perfectly executed more-of-the-same shooter any day.

Ground based PvP, shh, thats our little secret

[FlacidJack]

Players can't cripple me but R* logic manages to do it daily.

The worst is that blasted sale job that involves garbage trucks, I just sit there unable to move as my brain attempts to understand how a garbage truck DELIVERING garbage i.... fuc...

 

 

[TheLordMarvel]

Kinda odd thing for me, but..I can't hack during the heists for the life of me. Sure I'll get it done in the end, but it takes me so many attempts. (Mostly the Doomsday Heist hacking) but I do even fail the Fleeca job one, lmao.

 

It's the one thing I never really got good at. I'm good at driving, flying and shooting is ok. But hacking is something I fail at, probably why I'm always the driver/shooter in heists. ;P

Racing, definitely.

I'm pretty good at everything in this game thanks to the thousands hours spent on it, but racing is my true weak point.

I drive well in freeroam, I manage to escape most of the times when chased by angry dudes.....

But when it comes to official races.... I have 70 wins and 220+ losses. And this include 50% of 2nd place.

 

 

And this is so frustrating

[Cackling Jack]

Racing. No question about it. Only time attempt to race is to be social with friends or crew but I end up giving up. 55 wins and 166 loses. Trying to boost the loses up to 300

Yes, racing is definitely Kryptonite for many of us, right? I've been addicted since GTAIV Multiplayer. Avoiding is not an option! lol!!

 

I'm loving the new Hotring circuits, but they are impossible. Backwards drivers, pitting, dirty racing... ugh.

 

The Clark Kent in my cries everytime I race and the first player whacks my front quarter panel. grr.

I never spent more than 5 minutes in the cloud sim. If it takes more than 3 I've usually already quit the app and restarted.

 

I have been getting dropped more due to unknown network errors, something they said they fixed in this update. (Yeah, I said that with a straight face... "Rockstar fixed it." )

[Davatar]

1) Deluxos: can not match with them being on any aircraft. I only have to snipe them with explosive rounds before it's too late or...run with ghost org

2) RnG Style, even if I'm in this 'business' with friends since hundreds of levels

3) Dogfighting without my Starling

4) Hydras and Lazers being on ground: both explosive sniper and c4/rpg trick can not match with a slightly skilled pilot...it's a massacre...I got 0-5 before finishing all of my ammo. Better go in passive and take my Starling

5) Ground PvP since I get custom ammo on my Mk2 weapons, especially with heavy sniper (explosive rounds) and marksman one (incendiary rounds). So you would ask me: "U only have to take them off, right?" Yeah, but for a poor grinder like me these 70.000$ per ammo can not be wasted.

6) Fighting helicopters with any combat jet, even with my beloved Starling

7) Races, 'cause I only buy the vehicles I like, but they're too slow. I'm pretty good driving, but not enough to race with vehicle which is not one of the fastest. With collision I can not match with anyone who simply decides to hurt me o do a PIT

I am somewhat relieved how many people here name anything PvP related as their Kryptonite. Same here.

 

And it's not only that I am too slow to compete: As soon as I notice someone going after me (which I usually don't before my first death anyway), the mere thought of any ill will focusing on me makes me a nervous wreck and I start messing up the simplest things.

 

However, my true GTAO Kryptonite, regardless of players present or not, is Parachuting. I just can't get the hang of it. I can't even sum up what I'm doing wrong, I just completely lose any sense of orientation as soon as I'm airborne, then I get panicky and usually end up crashing into structures miles away from the intended landing zone. It's not about the controls I think, I handle helicopters very well. It's something about the speed and the camera angle that just bamboozles me into full-goofy mode 9 out of 10.

PvP in general, I suck on foot so I have to retort to the more expensive toys, like the Shotgun with explosive rounds, Deluxo and Vigilante, sometimes I bring my Phantom Custom and reverse drive-by them too.

 

Though you won't see me taking the easy way out or shooting through walls with thermal vision, that is for the cheaters.

[GTA-Biker]

Public sessions.While I always played mostly in invite only sessions,I did join public sessions occasionally,and almost every time I would join,there would be someone who would attack me for no reason and cause a fight.I realized that the money I wanted to use to get new DLC content was being wasted on ammo, armor and insurance,so I completely stopped playing in public (at the time there were also modders who would put some big metal objects in other player's garages,and I didn't want that to happen to me).I've been playing exclusively in invite only for around three years and I haven't looked back since.I love how I can do whatever I want there without anyone interrupting me,it's like I'm playing singleplayer,but with my own character and a lot of new content.Not even Rockstar's cheap attempts to make some of the best paying activities locked to public sessions made me consider playing there again,I just don't want to deal with trolls and tryhards.

[Forza Harrd]

Driving and shooting on NG. The controls are just slightly different from 360 (I haven't even researched the difference) and even though I've been playing Xb1 now LONGER than I played 360, I still can't get the hang of it.

 

I used to be able to follow armored trucks in any stolen street cat and easily and quickly throw a sticky and have it land perfectly on the back of the truck.

 

Now by the time I figure out which button actually throws the damn sticky my target has already escaped (or done killed me ).

 

Also combat rolling. I googled it, I understand how, I just only practice when I'm already in a panic situation watching someone else combat roll in my scope.

[CaptainMarvel]

I wonder if the volleyball nets and the train are each others kryptonite?

 

The true immovable object versus the unstoppable force scenario.
