Player without icon/ Invisible on map

Sorry if this topic has been discussed I couldn’t find it under any searches. Yesterday while attempting a Random encounter rescue mission in St.Denis I was getting killed by a player who wasn’t on the map even though we were close to each other and when I finally saw who was killing me I realized no player icon appeared above their head. Is there an active glitch I obviously don’t know about lol

I had the same thing, I encountered a rescue mission at Pleasance and 2 players in a posse rode up there too, suddenly they disappeared off the map and I think there might have been a 3rd player too, someone got killed by explosive ammo.

I killed all the enemies and they started looting my bodies, so I threw dynamite at my feet and killed myself with one of them.

The odd thing was this didn't force me out of defensive mode.

I got 2 more kills and someone killed the stranger I was supposed to rescue (I already gave up anyway).

And I was still in defensive mode.

Seems like the rescue mission causes major issues, but even after it ended they were still off radar.

I ewo'd twice while taking major damage and just left, screw it.

My mission, my bodies!

I've come across players like that myself.  There must be an unpublished glitch, been hearing of others seeing it more and more often.

They are defense players doing stranger missions that don’t allow pvp IE hunt or destroy supplies they stay in defense mode during mission unlike some stranger missions where if you start in defense the mission takes you out and into offend then othe players can interact

No, these players weren't on the map at all.

And killing them didn't force me out of defensive mode.

 

But this isn't as bad as players in godmode.

Both glitches are accidental I think, I don't think these players did this on purpose.

I saw a lvl 4 in godmode, no way he did that on purpose.

The player I encountered was not on the map at all even when they were right next to me and they knew it. The player was trying to blend in with NPC’s and when I turned around they shot me. Until I figured it out. I finally saw the creeping up on me and shot them in the face. They were not invincible

Nothing is unpublished, trust me. If it isn't on YouTube or some other forum, it don't exist. People can't keep their mouths shut, how do think glitches get patched, R* doesn't figure this sh*t out on their own.

Some people are disciplined.  I accidentally came across a solo public lobby glitch.  Totally not trying it was my own f*ck up and what I did after that caused it.  I don't see it published anywhere.  I have video of it and have tested it, but I didn't run to youtube or the other site to publish it.  If you're not familiar with the other sinning site, alot of the peopl who find glitches find multiple of them and they hold them until one is patched and then publish/release the next one.  I have a feeling you will eventualy see a video on it, it's bound to get out.  To say it doesn't exist is crazy, multiple people are see/reporting it.  I even have a video of it.  I knw the next response is going to be "PROVE IT OR IT DIDN"T HAPPEN"  but I'm not worried about proving it, I'm not showing the video, all I will say is it involved the train.

 

Watch me get killed right away and look at my mini-map.  Then watch around 1.17 when I am on the roof, a player runs buy with no name icon and off of the radar

There are plenty of private glitches, atleast on GTA.

The current godmode in 30 seconds glitch on GTA was private for atleast 3 months, so I heard. And I encountered someone using it a few weeks ago.

There are crews dedicated to finding glitches and keeping it to themselves for as long as they can or want.

There is indeed an off radar glitch, auto aim doesn't work, but afaik players using the glitch can kill other players.

 

It went public today, because predictably, someone couldn't keep their mouth shut. It doesn't have much traction yet, but it has now reached YouTube.

Soon enough, R* will catch wind of it.

 

Because I guarantee any glitch like this, knowing the sad reality and behavior of the average player, will tend to abuse it to it's fullest until something's done about it.

Just look all those players gamercards which is "offline", it's a increasing number due to this glitch, at least on XBox.

 

I cant answer for PS4 since i play on XBox
Normally the players gamercards shows something like "moseying around in Valentine" but many times most players are simply "offline".
If i see that i be more aware of my surroundings…
Also if the player name is something with random letters/numbers, i know its a player with hostile purposes...
So yes there is something fishy going around...

And this is why we need private lobbies....

 

Looks like I'll try to stay out of freemode for as much as I can while I do my daily challenges.

Yeah it's been published. I kind of want to do it just so I can live life as an npc for awhile 😁

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but this is still going on apparently.

 

Mooching around in a lobby today and got shot from nowhere, no player circle on mini-map.

 

Saw him coming the second time but still no circle and killed him, but then kept getting rinsed by 6-7 people in a posse called 'The Crypt'.

 

None of these players showed up as a dot on either the mini-map or main map but names were red in player list.

 

Couldn't retaliate as had no idea where they were so let them keep killing me while I reported all their sorry asses.

 

Tried to get it on stream but as soon as I started broadcasting they disappeared from the lobby.

 

Hope the ban hammer comes down when (if) RS watch the game footage.  Got no time for cheats or online bullies.

This happened to me today. A group of three posse members. Didn't see them on the map and couldn't lock on. All players had "offline" on their profile so I couldn't follow them after they left. They were very toxic. Only way I could do anything is with paint it black in deadeye.

If only defensive mode could let ppl out of radar... a dream R* will never make it real.

The thread was started 17 months ago, I'm sure it's been reported many, many times since...and yet it's still an active glitch.

 

Just like the Titan glitch in GTAO (which is what, 3 1/2 years old now?), if it doesn't impact R*s money intake, they don't give the slightest sh*t about it.

Something R* should be proud about, isn't it.  😖

Apparently there is still a glitch to be off the radar.

Or it could be someone using a mod menu.

 

Either way, they're cheating and up to no good.
