Terrorbyte Trouble

[rokr6378]

The Terrorbyte is advertised as being such a handy timesaver so why does the thing automatically park itself back in the nightclub garage whenever I do a bunker resupply mission? Is this an oversight or is it supposed to do that? It's a total nuisance to have to drag it back out to park it halfway across the map every time I do a resupply mission for the bunker.

In the interactive menu where you request the Terrorbyte, you can select the "return to garage" option (it's worded something like that). You'll see it there and then just request delivery again.

Avenger gets returned to the Facility upon entering the Bunker or Nightclub. 

MOC gets returned to the Bunker upon entering the Facility or Nightclub. 

Terrorbyte gets returned to the Nightclub upon entering the Bunker or Facility. 

 

Pretty stupid really. I can only conclude it happens to prevent all three being out at once, or to get around spawning / despawning issues that may come if some members of an organisation are in an Avenger, and others decide to get into the Terrorbyte (for example). I dunno.

I agree that it's stupid. If Rockstar wants to prevent all three from being out at once they should just prevent the MOC or Avenger from being used if the Terrorbyte is in play. That would be a more direct fix and much better than having the Terrorbyte despawn just for entering the bunker. After all... the very missions the Terrorbyte claims to save time on REQUIRE you to enter the bunker. As it stands the Terrorbyte is a rip.  Anyway, thanks for the reply, Gaffa.

It was designed like that. Every truck can stay outside if it is from same stored building. Rules are simple:

 

If Avenger its outside and enter Facility it will stay outside where you left it.

 

If MOC its outside and enter Bunker it will stay outside where you left it.

 

If TB its outside and enter Nightclub it will stay outside where you left it.

 

Each one is tied to its own place so when you enter and and have a truck that it is not tied to that DLC it will be returned to storage. You get used to it and call it back from Menu.

Unless you're trying to unlock the UFO supply mission, you're best off buying supplies.  You don't accrue any product while on a supply run, and you can quickly make the money back from buying supplies with the terrobyte.  Also, it might help to request the terrobyte close to where you want to park it so you don't have to drive halfway across the map.

Please, please Mods I beg of you. Don't lock this topic just yet please.

I really want to see what creators reaction to the second post is. 

You can use "Request Terrorbye" option from the Menu the moment you leave the building, look away from where you are gong it will spawn close by.

The only way I can see these vehicles not returning to their original locations is if you're doing resupply work with a team - people in the same CEO Organisation or Motorcycle Club. 

That way, the other players can collect and deliver supplies and you (the leader) won't be forced into those properties and thus won't lose access to the Terrorbyte. That's the only work-around I can think of. Again, it builds on the idea of playing with other people and thus opens the door for griefing (or mods on PC) and that alone can diminish resupply success rate.

I'm not asking that we be allowed to use the Terrorbyte, MOC and Avenger all at the same time. I'm merely pointing out that the resupply mission for the bunker is available on the Terrorbyte. Why even have it available if the Terrorbyte despawns every time you use it?! Isn't the whole purpose of the Terrorbyte to allow you to do resupply missions from a "nerve center"? It would be a simple matter to just not allow the MOC to be taken from the bunker while the Terrorbyte is in play instead of despawning the Terrorbyte for just entering the bunker. The resupply mission available in the Terrorbyte ends in the bunker and there is no way to prevent it from despawning. This is a poorly thought out game mechanic in my opinion. It makes no sense and renders the Terrorbyte a useless hunk of junk that costs nearly $2M..
