I've been victim to passive popping again.. I thought that sh*t was over? I'm putting people in passive and watch them limp to their Lazers or aircraft hangars and enter/exit them while in passive mode and none to happy about it. 

 

They really need to make it where once the player gets into a non-passive-accessible weaponized vehicle, it immediately kicks them out of passive like the MOC when the guns are applied to the trailer.

 

My own B&M:
-This game's problems are so bad that almost daily, I find myself being completely destroyed for no reason by an OTR glitch user when exiting a property. Thankfully (for now) only once every two weeks it's a God mode user.

I refuse to do the prep mission for Cayo Perico for the weapon loadout when you have to follow that f*cking gobsh*te in the helicopter from Merry Weather HQ all the way across the map. Such a pain in the ass. I keep finding a new session until I get the Sachs building. Is there a way to prompt this every time?

In the time you waste quitting and restarting you could just do the mission.

Quitting and restarting that particular mission 10 times and doing an office version is still faster than doing that mission once.

I know one way it used to be done was you'd be in passive and have one friend (or another account) in a CEO and they'd send you an invite.

Soon as you accept the invite it would take you out of passive, so in effect = instant passive pop rather than wait the 30 seconds (or 10 seconds it used to be).

 

Not sure if thats still a thing?

Yes, and you can go back into passive right away.

It's a good way to counter godmode speedos if they are not moving and distracted.

Thank you! Also...f*ck that mission! I'd rather paint my eyes with a cheap emulsion and time how long it takes me to get upset!

You actually got calls from him,  the only calls I’ve got were from my assistant telling me about rare cargo that wasn’t on the computer not once but multiple times.  

He calls all the time! It really sucks when some twonk on an Oppressor thinks he's king sh*t so you decide to put him in his place... only to be left walking around aimlessly listening to that stupid prick.

[Kiethblacklion]

I really, really, REALLY hate Brucie. I'm running those casino missions from Ms. Baker for the first time and I couldn't believe that Brucie was brought in for the cut scenes. I want nothing more than to put my pistol to his head and pull the trigger. 

 

And what doesn't make any sense is that when you run the missions, you get him saying something like "it's nice to meet you" and he introduces himself...yet we've been receiving phone calls from him for his bull shark BS for years. 

[KODRB]

Getting really annoyed with Pavel telling me the same info about setups and equipment even after doing the same prep missions too many times to count. At this point I rather just use my own weapons instead of hearing Pavel tell me about how turbulent his 30's were because he did that in his 20's. Let Rubio's men come for me. Let them be like Madrazo's men when Michael is in exile and tries to enter LS. I'd actually enjoy that. It would make things fun. Do it for about an ingame week where they just kinda chase you relentlessly.

 

Also why does the radio station in my car change to KULT when i request my dinghy? Why can't I turn off the auto-show snorkel mask after getting out of my dinghy? Why does it put it on when I get out of my fully beached, can't move 'cause it's literally sitting on pavement dinghy? Why does my car get moved from my penthouse garage to the parking lot when I log into Online even after parking it in there before logging out when my spawn location is set to my penthouse? Why does my car get delivered to Merryweather HQ when i request it after dropping a car off at Simeon's at the docks? Why does my MK2 always tip over after getting off of it? (I use it to grindr and for prep missions, not grief. I don't even pull it out in public lobbies unless I'm alone). 

 

Lastly: f*ck the Velum and f*ck scoping the island. Let me just go get the plasma cutter AND safe codes and let me just be surprised when I get to the vault. Pavel acts like we didn't scope out the vault and know that it's a sh*tty bottle of tequila waiting for us and 2 tables of cocaine at the airstrip and that's the only thing keeping me from canceling this heist and hoping the next one won't give me the same undervalued sh*tty item that is the tequila. At this point I wouldn't mind if Pavel did drink it because maybe then he'd go f*ck himself and his sh*tty, annoying overly loud dialogue might just be bearable. At the very least, drunk Pavel trying to tell you about why you need to steal unmarked weapons or asking you if the safe is unlocked RIGHT as you stand up from the computer would be somewhat bearable.

Yeah I don't understand why we're so scared of Rubio. We saved the world for Christs sake. And we have this bunker that can produce unmarked weapons too.

 

I bet Rubio is gonna run back to his island once he gets bombed by a 1-0 lzzzz mk2/orbital cannon user kekw

[Gridl0k]

Can anyone tell me if the Kosatka is a drivable submarine?

Can I use it to travel towards my destination?

Can I also exit the submarine using any stored Moon Pool Vehicles?

Or exit on foot to call in a Dinghy?

 

I wish rockstar would make this stuff more obvious

Rubio wouldn't even leave his island, he's too wanted as a criminal afterall, but somehow we're not. Lol. Pretty sure we've killed more people, made more drugs and weapons as well as sold them, stolen more cars, and done far more heinous criminal acts than Rubio but we're robbing him. If anything he should be trying to rob our drug houses and bunkers, hell high level players should be targets for low level players to rob, most of us have too many businesses going on at once anyway. 

 

And another thing! The weapon loadouts suck! Who would take molotov cocktails to a heist!? A knife? That makes sense! a sniper rifle? brilliant for stealth ops! A shotgun? I mean if you're going agro yeah. Grenades and sticky bombs? Perfectly logical in certain scenarios, but molotovs? Molotovs!? Okay then! Like I would pay large sums of money to create a custom weapons loadout for heists and it would simply be Sniper, AP, sticky bombs, Knife. Maybe an assault rifle but I can make do with the AP and sniper as I have been.

 

Side note: Did you know you can snipe the guard in the tower just outside the compound from either inside it, or even easier, from the wall next to the guard shack if you climb up onto it.

[KODRB]

OH! Another thing! (Yes I know I'm on one tonight but it was my day off and did the heist like 3 times back to back all solo because f*ck randoms and they're inability to not try to kill every single guard in the compound and inevitably f*ck it up, set off the alarm and suddenly make me want to help Rubio skin them alive. Never. Again. Fool me once and my MTU settings go right back to 576, the end)

 

f*ck the sub setup where you have to steal the sonar reflector from Merryweather. Especially when it's the torpedo room and your character accidentally walks over the little box it's sitting on right as you click the button to grab it and you get stuck behind the box and have to leave the session to get free and completely redo that mission.

 

Also why the f*ck do we suddenly have to press a button to pickup some things (weapons out of the locker for the office version, sonar reflector) but not others. Like i only have to walk over the weapons if I'm stealing them from Merryweather and don't even have to get off my MK2 to pick up the plasma cutter. I kinda understand having to press a button for the cutting torch but even then, that's a little much, especially with the stupidly delayed animations. Did my character suddenly become slower than the product of mass incest?

 

Changing gears only because I'm sitting here loading into the game again to buy some bunker supplies, why do i have to be in a public session to buy supplies? LIke grey out all the other options, or when i get notified about my bunker being out of supplies, give me the single option to buy them while I'm in an invite session. I get having to be in a public to steal or sell, but to buy!? Literally no work required other than waiting for them to show up.

If you go first person and mash run/jump you can generally get free, but yeah, this nearly cost me a controller the first time it happened.

That little green crate is the scariest part of the entire heist lol

[Gridl0k]

Oh and yesterday I loaded into a public lobby that only had 2 crews in it, ATOM and ARYN, and yeah they were exactly what you might expect. The Org names were worse. Lovely environment R*. Keyword search your UGC much?

What makes even less sense is people receiving phone calls from him for years without thinking to Google "how to stop Brucie calling me", finding out you only have to call him to request BST once, and getting on with their lives in peace.

[GTAMamba]

After months of research and countless completions (probably at least 200, seriously) I can now admit that the Cayo Heist does in fact get incredibly old.

 

Doesn't help with all the fun game modes being ruined with glitches and sh*tty payouts and Rockstar's reluctance to make a fun game over a grindy game. 

 

Also,  the vehicles in the last update were very underwhelming. Throw in the fact the we still don't have mansions and with over 200 million in the bank account I wonder, what the hell am I even grinding for anymore?

I hope you didn't buy the master control terminal, because it STILL doesn't let you buy supplies in Invite-Only sessions, even though it would let you sell in Invite-Only sessions for a day.

Didn't even buy an arcade. I knew better than to buy something without waiting for the forums to fully dissect what it can and can't do and whether it's worth paying full price for. Lol. 

[Talisman_83]

The Arcade drone is quite buggy.

If on console, when you click to use it, do NOT press to check the map.

It'll mean that when the drone launches, you cannot use the map at all.

Secondly, I wish there was an alert to tell you when the reception is worsening, so you know what the range is.

At the moment you basically hit a death wall for the drone and it exits.

Third, I think 5 mins is a little steep to have to wait to launch another.

Not when you can literally launch sub missiles back to back which reach your target far faster than the drone can.

I still haven't exported any vehicles to him actually Since you brought up the topic, I might log into IV on my PC and do some vehicle exporting sometime next week.

Thank you for reminding me!

[toguraum]

This heist is a bless for being able to do it alone, and at the same time, it's the most miserable experience out of every heist if trying to do with randoms.

 

2 times joining randoms,  both times they started with sub approach drainage tunnel. Could'nt do it all stealthly even once.

 

Also they insist in going for the primary loot first, and then after that, when it's clear there's a guard increase and it's going to be more difficult, go for the secondary loot inside coumpound.

[TheFroggmann]

Decide to change things up a little bit and get the plasma cutter with my Toreador only to have it die with no damage. Get out, get in, no engine nose all I can do is turn the wheel can't even boost it out. Absolutely noting works. On the minimap it was still a valid car but for me it was just a pretty lawn ornament.
