Did Rockstar ruin Import/Export?

[justinlynch3]

I just sourced 2 cars and each time Lesters remove the cops ability has been unavailable.     Is this garbage for real?    It's not like the ai Sultan/Banshee's doesn't do enough damage to cars as it was but now we can't even call the cops off?

 

I swear Rockstars sole goal is to purposely make people stop playing this game. lol

 

Seriously, anyone else have this issue?     Because this is not cool, not cool at all.

[Slam_Jones]

I've had the opposite... every time I've called Lester lately it's been Free to remove wanted level, no matter how many stars I have.

 

Not sure what this is about lol

[TyrionV]

If you completed some of the Doomsday stuff it meant you could call off the cops for free from then on.

After you beat Doomsday Act 3 he gives you the ability for free. Anytime.

Cargobob Jetsam does explode sometimes for no reason after being left.

[Jenkiiii]

Lester's services work wonderfully for me too, even when I 'teleport' to my high-end apartment or Facility to do the respective heists - no fee for calling off the cops.

Only the Pegasus version. Personal is okay.

It depends on the mission. Sometimes, the wanted level is hard wired into the mission and can't be called off until a certain point so calling Lester does nothing.

By complete is it for everyone involved or just the host? I did it with a friend and to this day he has the ability for free yet I still pay the price.

Cheaper to buy him bulk lube at this point, to be honest, seeing he's screwing me so much.

Good to know. Although calling for a fresh Pegasus one isn't a hassle for me, my i/e garage is close enough to the hospital spawn.

Only host.

 

O.T., I've played some recently and didn't have problems. I don't have free bonus.

[555-We-Tip]

I’m good provided I never have to hook a car in the ocean to a Cargobob again.

I could swear this is new though, prior to this update I can't remember ever having any Import/Export mission where Lester couldn't be called.

 

 

On a unrelated note, anyone else notice they brought back the Cargobob mission?     Was that really necessary, like I think literally nobody liked that mission. lol   

 

Yay for fixing the water levels so barges are no longer half way sunk, I guess.    But was it really necessary to reactivate the Cargobob mission?    They could of left that out and it wouldn't of been missed.

This is a bug in sessions itself, normally you can still remove it. If you get in one of these sessions, just leave it and join the next one.

TBH, it's quite surprising that R* haven't nerfed I/E at this point.

I'm pretty sure I've had both of mine randomly explode when I go into an IE garage.  Interesting that this is still a bug 2 years later.  I'll have to see if the other versions are immune from this.

I haven't had that issue yet and I do those quite regularly.

Indeed, considering it's a really great solo moneymaker,

[Mexicola9302]

All Pegasus vehicles explode randomly, it doesn't matter what CBob your using, use a Personal CBob to be on the safe side.

[Mexicola9302]

Yeah that's the problem, we should be able to spawn our Sea Sparrows, Hunters, Akulas, Havoks etc. too from the Office.

 

I really don't understand why we can't do that. Typical bullsh*t Rockstar logic.

[Jimbatron]

There are some missions I believe where you can get a wanted level more than once.

 

For example when you steal the car where the police have pulled over the driver for a suspected DUI. You get a wanted level for going near the police. If you lose this, but are then spotted getting in the car or hooking it up by the police you'll have a wanted level again. The gap between can be pretty short if you've disposed of the two cops but called Lester before hooking up the car with the Bob. The other cops cars coming in to support are still there, and even though your wanted is temporarily clear, the see you nick the car which is technically a new crime. So basically don't call Lester until you are up in the air and flying away. Not sure if this is your specific issue but I've noticed this can happen. The downside is it means you have to get in the car or take off under police fire sometimes.

I don't know when was the last time I came across a high value car. Everything for wks have been mid range.

Don't sell the standard and mid, just house them and eventually you will only get high

Yeah but I'm already full. I have to get rid of the mid to get the high. It hasn't been working for me lately.

You dont need to be full.

Only keep 10 standard, 10 mid, and 12 high

THEN

sell a high

Then source and it will be high again...

Repeat

You definitely do NOT want to be full.  

 

You do NOT want to have duplicates of anything.  You want 1 and only 1 of each car then only sell the top range. 

[Mexicola9302]

80%=32 cars is always the limit for the 10/10/12 method. After you sold the 12 "unique" high ranges you can source them back, just never have any duplicates of cars in the vehicle warehouse.

 

List of Cars/Plates and Collections

 

Just only have one Alpha, Banshee, Bestia etc. in your warehouse only one of each, or else it doesn't work. Edit: The Plates doesn't matter at all, of course if you want to get collections you can do that too, but you gonna have to source back the cars you sold.

 

Once you have one of each cars (all 32) everytime you sell one of it, you immediatly gonna get it back in the next source mission, but mostly with another plate, it's rare that you get exactly the same car with the same plate.

 

The only collections i sell now is the one with the Roosevelt Valor & Truffade Z-Type. And the T20, X80, Osiris collection because they only contain High Range cars.

Same question can be asked about the whole game.

Yeah I just got it today. Had to go to Fort Zancodo to get a cargobob, only to realize there were about five aimbot NPCs shooting at me before I flew off. Then I had to get to the boat thing on the water to fight even more aimbotters only to hook the car and get killed multiple times by, what seemed to be, never ending waves of buzzards in groups of two.

 

Horrible mission, nearly on par with the one where you have to get a car from a joyrider whilst having two police cruisers and a heli chasing it down and crashing into it.

^ this.

 

I, however, also like to fill out all the collections on the collection page by selling the ones I don't have and then sourcing until i get the right plate.

Currently I have all 32 cars and all the collections are complete.

I've also had issues with the hook disappearing from a PV Cargobob when landing it on the helipad and coming back out.

Don't go anywhere near the car - there's always somewhere nearby that you can snipe from, and at long range the car won't take any monetary damage even if you miss the driver. You'll know you've got him when you get 3 stars - lose them, then approach the car, let the cops drive off, pick it up, and call Lester to get rid of another 3 stars. It takes a minute or two longer than the easy missions, but can still be done trivially with no damage, even without a Cargobob.

 

There's only 3 locations for this one so they're easy to learn, and the heli will always be static over the car until you get near if you need a confirmation it's this mission.
