Does anybody remember if there are any benefits of using holo sights on Mk.II guns? Sorry for off topic posting, but I know somebody here will know this..

@Gaffa Probably knows.

Uhh I don't know what I know anymore... you know? 

For real though, I believe there's supposed to be a slight reduction in the recoil shake amplitude or something, but it's been a while since I checked. As Yellow said there should be some info in the weapons info thread. 

There are things in the game which aren't covered in any files though and are instead use server-set data or things that seem to be hardcoded (like gear ratios on vehicles).

I actually just wrote two comments regarding this topic in the Weapons thread. @YELLOW ZOOMER WITH DRONE linked it.

There is a RecoilShakeAmplitude modifier listed with the Mk II scope attachments, but I experimented with changing them, and it doesn't actually have an effect.

 

So the only effects scopes have are:

• In 3rd person mode it increases the amount of zoom when entering "accurate mode". This mode also reduces recoil in general but not related to the scope itself. The Mk II weapon scopes all have the same zoom increment for 3rd person.
• In 1st person with non-Mk II weapons the scope increases the zoom on only a few of them, like the Assault SMG. But on the Advanced Rifle for example the scope does *not* increase the zoom and only obstructs more of the screen. On Mk II weapons almost all of the scopes increase the zoom and by different amounts as well. In general it goes: iron sights < holographic sight < small scope < medium scope < large scope.

However the large scopes on the Assault Rifle Mk II, Carbine Rifle Mk II, and Combat MG Mk II have a much larger 1st person zoom than the large scope on the Bullpup Rifle Mk II, Special Carbine Mk II, and Markmsan Rifle Mk II. For the latter this even includes the zoom scope, meaning it has worse zoom than e.g. the Assault Rifle in 1st person. (But the Marksman Rifle has a much longer firing range.)

 

So in conclusion for 3rd person there is no difference between a holographic sight and the other scopes, and in 1st person the holographic sight will generally have a lower amount of zoom but also obstruct less of the screen.

 

EDIT: One more thing I just remembered is that weapons block shots, so the larger scopes have a marginally greater chance of blocking a shot.

Have you checked at the clothing stores? I have it, but never received a message that it was unlocked/given to me.

Probably best to submit a ticket to Rockstar, I'm sure they'll pop it into your wardrobe

They were totally willing to gift me the Yacht Captain outfit after i put a ticket in under Gameplay Progress... not too sure what you'd have to file a log-in bonus under, but they'll have no counter arguement since it'll be as plain as the nose on your face that you logged in last week and haven't got what was promised.

Hey guys, so basically when LSSS came out qabeta 2 and the public branch were the same, however after it got updated in the last 17 hours they're no longer the same. Do you guys think they might be testing another small DLC like a halloween one or something, or am I looking too deep into it?

Who knows, I personally doubt it, but on the other hand they may want to milk a few extra shark card surges out of current gen before the switch next year. I certainly wouldn't be opposed to an extra small DLC or 3 and the batches of vehicles and content that come with them.. I wouldn't get your hopes up though.

@Fun 2 I told you all we were going to be getting an F1 themed summer update, MrBossFTW covered my posted and Fun 2 replied to it saying that I was wrong and look what we got in the Summer Special DLC: Open Wheel Race Creator, new Open Wheel Cars, and new Open Wheel Tracks. I know we also got the new adversary modes in the Casino and the Yacht missions but I wasn’t wrong, the Open Wheel stuff was one of the biggest parts of this new DLC, along with the 15 new cars we got. So to everyone who said I was wrong, think again  

I didn't say you were wrong, I said the theme was different, the main focus wasn't the Open Wheel races, but the new yacht missions. The trailer and everything was water-themed or naval-themed, the OWR races were a side focus. Plus, that was a no brainer, not sure why you are making a big deal of it. I would have appreciated it if you were Bebay, the most professional newswire researcher and analyzer, but he would have seen it wayy sooner.

I was thinking of the supposed new Surfer custom... I’m guessing it had some sort of mod/livery that was halloween themed, and were initially planned to drop in halloween week had this update been dripfed as usual.

I’m guessing it’ll still gonna be unlocked (and possibly on podium) on the halloween week along with the UFO missions

What if SURFER3 is a police van tho

I'll take it! Where do I sign?

[Smart speculation1]

It’ll be a bennys upgrade 

[Tez2]

I can see that qabeta2 was updated a few hours ago, and it has the same build ID as a previous qabeta3 update, which could mean there's a slim chance we may receive a new patch, or just nothing important.

does the window disappear after changing something in the tuning shop, or does it never spawn with it?

[Gridl0k]

Did they fix the "getting the same awards over and over" recently? It was still an issue up until about a week ago.

I believe so, there's a function related to that in the latest background update.

I dunno. I remember I noticed it too but it was after I was done with Benny's

 

And now I got the frame doors which lack windows all together  

 

I think the conversion itself doesn't affect it, just some modifications you apply. 

 

I also noticed that when the hood comes off, it's texture becomes invisible.

haha same for me. I just get different awards now.

They must pull patch notes out of a hat these days because this among other things like packie were not actually fixed.

[Gridl0k]

Well the patch changed it so instead of 1 I got 2-4, but that stopped around a week ago for me at least so they can patch sh*t via background update when they feel like it #godmode
