Keep getting blown up every few seconds

[EssCee]

On Xbox one and decided to play GTA V after a while.

 

Decided to do a mission from the Terrorbyte (weapons) get to the destination and all of a sudden I get blown up. After I respawn no matter where I walk in getting blown up literally every 4 seconds. The mission was pretty much unplayable.

 

Any thoughts what's going on?

mk2 off the radar? Did it say who killed you?

It just kept saying "You died" and not the usual XX killed XX. Not sure what you mean by MK2 off the radar?

Since it was "weapons" I'm assuming you started a gunrunning resupply mission that required you to ambush a merryweather convoy accompanied by a Valkyrie.

That Valkyrie has an explosive canon that can auto-lock on you before you spawn and basically blow you up every few seconds.

Mk2 = Oppressor Mark 2. "Off the radar" from a Lester call that makes you invisible to other players.

 

If it didn't identify the player, then it's something else.

What v posted is the most likely, what kind of lobby were you in?  If you were alone in a lobby that would take out modders/other players but that Valkyrie is no joke, I’ve had that happen to me n it’s not fun.  If it’s the Valkyrie it will blow you up until your out of its range, which is out of yours also.

Yes this is exactly what I did.... I was in the wooden tunnel and kept getting blown up.... Got to the vehicle and couldn't even open it.

 

So I guess nothing I can do about this?

Is say I was in a normal lobby with other people. I didn't know it was possible for modders to get into a session with Xbox one players thought this was a PC issue

[El Diablo 702]

There is a thread that posted something similar but they gave no info on what they were doing.  Modders/script kids could be possible but what you posted sounds more like mission related. That Valkyrie will blow you up then as you respawn, boom again.

NPC Valkyries are no joke.

 

In that particular mission you should shoot it down before approaching the trigger point (sniping the pilot is the low-budget solution), but of course how would someone know this in advance?

What summerfreeze said 100%.  Some of the source/supply missions are a trial n error until you learn the tricks.  But the accuracy of that thing is op, I’ve had it get me multiple times with the cannon and had the side gunner snipe me out of my buzzard.

Xbox One doesn't have modders. Just PC and old gen.

Some supplies get handed to you on a plate, others in private military convoy... Rockstar broke this mission (and Work Dispute, last mission in the MOC) when they enabled flak cannons for the AI npcs.

Before Doomsday update, they would not use the flak cannons on valkyrie or APC, so all you had to do was take out the people in the Insurgents, steal an Insurgent, chase down the APC and get the crew out.

This change happened on Xbox1, PS4 and PC around Doomsday Heist.

Your best shot at this mission is taking cover in the ambush zone, wait for Agent 14's text saying "now", then take out the valkyrie first with a homing missile. If you time it right, everyone should get out of their vehicle and fight you on foot.

If not, try to get a shot at the APC driver next. If you can't, then try to steal an Insurgent to chase the APC. The APC will probably try to blow up your car, so definitely use one of Merryweather's Insurgents to chase it, not your own car.

As for Work Dispute, good luck, you'll need it. Take out the Valkyries first, and try landing on the containers, not on the ground.

Doomsday didn't do anything to Gunrunning, the npc's have always been able to use the Valkyrie/APC guns. I've had them shoot/blow me up even before Doomsday. The only ones that don't use the weapons is still the Savage, they have a cannon and missiles but still prefer to have side gunners fire at us. Also, why are you chasing the APC down? Literally, one of the missions gives you a scoop vehicle that lets you block the convoy, the others you can use your MOC or Terrorbyte to block them as well.

I think the convoy always stops if you block the route with something. One of the missions even has a Dozer you can drive onto the road to block it. The NPCs won't try to ram through.

 

For Work Dispute you can glide to the left after exiting the plane and approach the docks on road. If you go slowly and wait for the Valkyries to spawn, 2 players can take them out with Oppressor missiles before you come into firing distance of their guns.

could be some airfreight jets, those enemies will relentlessly kill you at random even if it’s not your mission

[whywontyoulisten]

It's the Valkyrie. You'll know for next time to blow it up from as far away as possible.

not true, valkyries/apcs did not attack you after bunker release. it got changed with one of later updates. (tbh i think it could've been dday too, but i did not track it very well). another example of it happening is  half track bully or last oppressor mission from moc. valkyries there did not attack players either at release. but now they can annihilate you even in that half track if you are not careful. what's really interesting about this change, is that apcs can shoot you down even if you are directly above them. even players can't aim  90 degree angle above.

Buy insurgent or nightshark

Others won't be able to blow you up every few seconds; more like every few minutes then

Good luck out there

Even before Doomsday, on the resupply runs of the convoy, if I wasn't careful, yeah I got blown up by the Valkyrie or APC. In fact, first time I ever ran that mission, which was way before Doomsday, I got blown up by one of them since I didn't know what to expect. The Half Track Bully mission you mention, the Valkyries really have no need to use the main cannon on you, on account of the minigun snipers on the sides.

couple random videos:

Spoiler

 

when i grinded those resupplies for moc missions unlocking, i used to drive to them with a bike and shoot through windows. and neither moc nor valkyries used to shoot back with cannons. somewhat of an issue used to be only insurgents. this changed some time later.

Sounds like you ran into the typical cheat program dumbstar refuses to stop. Allows the cheater to do about everything, including blowing ppl up, even allows them full admin rights, so any attempt to report them, only reports to them, instead of dumbstar. Basically you have to create solo public to play.

It's already been established that it was the Valkyrie in the mission...

[kjahcleveland]

Also if you own an APC, the weapons will be in an APC instead of insurgent. That thing will kill you endlessly with it’s main gun just like the Valkyrie.

No, you'll have to steal an APC in stead of an Insurgent in the mentioned gunrunning supply mission.

I remember Rockstar wrote not to gave best accuracy and heavy sniper to NPCs in Creator, because it would "render the gameplay impossible", but here we are. And i know, there's a variant of a Valkyrie that is used in Extraction, that has no nose cannon, why not using this one?

Also this Valkyrie uses a glitched turret, that can turned backwards btw (as in rear sight glitch)
