A few questions regarding mechanics

[Catnipz]

#1 Only a player that's in passive mode can enter your vehicle if you are in passive mode and vice versa?

#2 I know you can invite players into your facility and afaik they don't need to be in your friend list or preparing to do a heist with you. So can you essentially invite random people in and let them pick up the minigun just for laughs and giggles etc? 

[SummerFreeze]

#1 No

 

#2 Yes

so players not in passive mode can enter a passive player's car and be shielded from pvp?

No, they can still be harmed. It's like they're in a ghost vehicle.

Yes, that said the passive extends trough-out the vehicle, so they wont be able to shoot or anything like that.

Let me know about the results please haha. I don't have anyone dedicated to help me test these things out.

i remember the driver being in passive and one or more passengers not made you impervious to orbital strikes, but that could have been changed as i haven't tried it in years now

I don't do much PvP but I sniped the copilot of a passive Hunter once, or at least my memory thinks I did. That was before the first casino DLC though.

Wait how can hunter be passive? Isn't that an offensive vehicle?

They used to be able to do that. It's over a year ago, so I could be wrong about being able to kill non-passive people in passive vehicles.

He said before Casino DLC. After Casino DLC, passive mode was disabled for weaponized vehicles. It took Rockstar only 6 years.

An additional answer - depending on your vehicle preferences (set in the Interaction Menu) you can set who can and cannot enter your vehicle (only you, friends only, crew only, etc.) 

 

That might save you from getting randoms from trying to get into your vehicle and messing up your / their passive status, and also keeps you / them from getting shared wanted level(s).

I'm sort of in a spot where I'm just earning stuff passively and I prefer to chill in lobbies and watch people fight each other lol. That's why I was wondering if these will work so I can play like some sort of getaway/rental service for anyone who wants to get away or get some heavy armaments.

From what I remember they can still be shot out of your vehicle but cannot be exploded out. There was a guy ferrying a bunch of jokers with bountys on them around in an unarmed helicopter. Couldn't be orbitaled or locked onto and explosive damage didn't harm them or vehicle because pilot was in passive. Don't think they could shoot out either cos they were having great fun landing near people, jumping out throwing stickys and proximity mines then flying off. I ended up on a rooftop and sniping them out after watching them on TV and seeing the mines outside my apartment.
