update: i couldn't use my smg mk2 in the f*cking boat because the finale glitch stripped me of my hallow point and explosive rounds. So my bitch still applies lmao

Maybe I'm just uncultured, but wtf happened with Still Slipping? I literally cannot stomach the music on that station it just annoys me. Legit. And I'm usually very open to different music.

 

I love The Music Locker, people talked sh*t about MoodyMan before but his stuff is actually damn good I'm shocked, Kult FM is amazing, the additions to FlyLo and WorldWide are top notch. I mean they added some stuff I know too like Rufus du Sol and Kaytranada... but then I tune into Still Slipping and I'm audibly muttering "wtf is this sh*t?"

 

Feels like a wasted station, I'm sorry. It's just bad. It's like all of the bad cringey stuff on iFruit Radio (the stuff no ones heard of, not the DaBaby/Megan/etc stuff) x3 and that station is just all that stuff. Bleh.

 

 

On a different note. I feel like Rockstar has forgotten how to design unlicensed cars their own way. I love the Itali RSX, Brioso 300, Weevil, Winky, etc. But they look like 90% like their real-life counterparts. Like the Coquette D10. It's just weird. Almost feels like I'm driving real life cars with minor changes to make them lore-friendly.

If they had given more new weapons, even mk2, more cool interesting cars, exotic, SUVs, sedans, sports, whatever, tons of new clothes, not reskins, some qol changes,maybe some new missions, new 2-3 bussines battles, more collectibles on the map, some new masks and let's say 10 new male and female nice hairstyles then i think it could be one of the best updates ever

The heist is great for making money... I'm not sure if Rockstar realized how quickly it can be finished.

 

But there is also very little variation. I no longer play the game to make money and the prep missions are extremely boring. At least the casino heist had a few fun ones.

 

The first time I played the heist, I landed at the airfield and snuck my way into the compound using the sniper rifle. That was fun but nobody interested in making money quick would do it that way.

 

So I think I'm done with this already. There isn't even much sense in preparing one to give another person a large cut, because that person could just prepare one themselves and play it solo.

I've been doing all kinds of wacky playthroughs.. I like your style. Sometimes I'll even feature things like a Airstrike or maybe call in a backup chopper. That weapon loadout you mentioned "Crack Shot" is pretty dope too. Good for all kinds of "Island heist" roll play. I have done several 30 minute heist finales... When I leave, El Rubio knows he just got robbed like a MF.

 

Haven't even bothered with a speedrun but one time. I find it much more fun turning Cayo into one huge survival. Once you know gta stealth it gets so easy. I need to bring a donkey with me to actually fail the mission.

 

Don't throw in the towel yet!

B&M: English Dave calls me today and asks if I can deliver a pizza to the island of Cayo Perico? Really? What the f*** do I look like? 

 

I want to know who okays dumb sh*t like this.

I've done each of the entry vehicles. For the HALO jump I "scoped" out all the Manchez spawn locations; there is one near the radio tower by the road going Southeast, and I also found cocaine and a grappling hook in the fields to the East. So I picked up these and jumped over the compound wall. There are some rocks to the East of the main gate that can be used to propel the Manchez into the air.  So that was another fun playthrough.

 

I went aggressive on the exit several times but not on the entry. Aggressive is pretty annoying though because the enemies quickly respawn so there is no sense of achievement IMO. I actually sniped the Buzzard pilot once with a headshot and felt good about it, but then there was a new Buzzard after like 5 seconds... so I just ran to a boat while spamming snacks.

 

I really miss setting a *style* of approach like with the casino heist., instead of: "stealth is the default and if you fail you could go aggressive but you'll lose so much money that it's better if you blow yourself up and do a quick restart". Neither is there a real strategy to the loot; you just pick up what pays the most. In the casino for each type of loot you could try different things: the numbers of players, which hacker to use, whether to continue grabbing after the time is up, etc.

It's a shame.

 

They could have made the Annihilator Stealth the best helicopter in the game by far by adding a Cargobob Hook to it. It would have been worth any price if we could go Off the Radar while transporting stuff via the hook in an armed helicopter. I would have sold my Akula in an instant.

You can steal all the approach vehicles in a single playthrough if you want, but once you steal one weapons loadout, you're stuck with it, apparently. And how do you cancel the heist? (not first time) I want to switch weapon loadouts, the one I sourced is not right for me.

Can you phone mini madrazo or pavel? Probably one of them.

 

Does the RNG seem broken to anyone, for the primary target? I swear I had bonds x 4, then a few later it was tequila x 5, now I've had the necklace three in a row. Want to bet it doesn't f*cking favour the panther though.

Thanks for suggestion, I called Pavel, Martin Madrazo (couldn't find Mini) and English Dave, none of them were able to cancel the heist. I don't really need to cancel the heist, I just want to source a different weapon loadout than the one I got.

edit: don't call Pavel while you're on board the submarine, he can actually cancel the heist, solved

Oh, apparently, he can't do it while you're on the submarine, thanks, I got it now. Now I'm wondering if I should actually cancel my heist, where I scoped all the secondary targets and sourced all other stuff, only because I got the wrong weapons. Any advise?

They all work, in my experience. Just be aware some ammo can overpenetrate and alert guards behind your target, i think (MKII green it was).

If you got the wrong weapons you could still source another type of weapon loadout? I think you can do that. You just pick the other loadout you sourced when launching the finale.

 

Think of it as a last minute change of plans.

Well, ideally it would work like that.

I'm in the prep stage. I can still source other approach vehicles and optional equipment, but after I sourced my weapons loadout, the other options just disappeared.

Restarting game didn't work.

Oh that sucks. I was certain you could source other weapon loadouts.

 

Which one did you go with? My faves are Crackshot and Conspirator. THe Mk2 ones seem a bit finicky to me.

I had the mk2 loadout, and I hate it.

So far, I liked the one with Sniper+AP pistol (AP pistol comes with extended clip), and the one with the Military rifle (30 rounds, scope, fairly accurate)

I don't like special ammo in general, I'm more into extended clips.

 

I guess I'll be spending most of my time running up to guards and pistol whipping them

Yeah, those would be the Conspirator an dCrackshot loadouts you're liking. They're solid because they both come wit ha single shot and automatic. The Sniper's good for taking out troublesome guard towers in the way at times and double kills.

 

The SMG Mk 2 loadout (Saboteur, I think) glitched out for me and when I returned to freeroam I still had the Hollow Point bullets despite having normal bullets.

 

MK2 ammunation has nice perks at times, but the limited ammo can really hurt them in a prolonged firefight. Still don't see the reason behind Saboteur. Marksman at lesat gives you AP rounds to destroy armor. Aggressor with the Assault Shotgun and Machine Pistol (Aggressor) also has its ups and downs.

The Guided Missiles are hard enough to aim without blizzards.

Try coming in much more vertical than horizontal. 

 

Also if you can't quite see where you're going in your sub don't forget you can always put your thermal goggles on.

It doesn't really matter IMO because you only need a headshot to kill guards. Even the SNS Pistol will do that with one hit.

The pistol is automatic so actually its more like a MG.

Also you could just prep another loadout? Cancelling would be the most dumb decision since you throw away lifetime..

For next time I suggest not to find every secondary target. You will find yourself the pathing that fits for you. Just.. scoping all POI is a pure waste of time imho.

I scoped all Secondary Targets for the achievement, there is no achievement for scoping all P.O.I. so I didn't do that. No grappling hooks, bolt cutters, guard uniforms or supply truck, only loot.

And I always take the loot at the main docks, no matter what it is. It is the most convenient when going for a decent time with full bags. I'm not going to run late for Elite because I wanted coke instead of cash.

 

Also, as for weapon loadouts, here's how the screen looks before and after sourcing one:

So no, you can not source another weapon loadout. My B&M is that the game doesn't tell you that up front. I went into this thinking I could source them all and choose later.

If you use the loadout with the MK2 SMG/AK47, you get special ammo (hollow point iirc), small clips and about 200 rounds total.

Spoiler

And here's the approach vehicles, of which I sourced multiple in one previous playthrough:

I really dislike how the heists tend to restrict what you wear to these things. Cayo Perico for example would feel a little more immersive if I had a bit more autonomy over my choice of clothing for the finale. Rockstar's choice of clothing is typically awful.

 

Like, yah, I'm going to try sneaking around a drug lord's private island at night wearing a bright white arctic camo jacket, bright white bermuda shorts and a bright purple flak vest. Come on...

 

If we could just be given the freedom to equip ourselves with our favourite self-made stealth and combat outfits, masks and helmets, it would be so much better.

Edited December 23, 2020 by Big Molio

[Sentinel Driver]

So there's only 9 new vehicles at launch, with 20 being available in total once dripfeed ends.

Doomsday heist gave us 29 new vehicles in total

Guns, only 3???????? new weapons??? While doomsday was 6 mk2 weapons with one normal weapon

 

This isn't the biggest update ever that was advertised to us. Ok they gave us a ton of new music but do we really need that more than new guns and vehicles? I'd rather prefer that than over 200 songs of music, most of it being something I will never listen anyway.

 

Also the new weapons, well they're decent but I'd have preferred something more unique. Like a flamethrower maybe? Or a tear gas grenade launcher? the SPAS can fire tear gas cartridges in real life so they could have added that as a function to the new shotgun. Or maybe an FGM Javelin, make it function like the guided missile of the submarine but portable with smaller range. The possibilities of new weapons and how they could make combat so much more versatile and fun in an old game are endless.

 

Also I think there's less clothing than in DDH DLC. Shame.

 

The heist itself is fun though, but everything else about it is kinda lacking. Why is El Rubio's mansion so small? We only get to see his office and his basement. Why not have an option to sneak through the whole mansion or something? Who is El Rubio anyways, he gets like less than a minute of screen time. Why am I supposed to care about him eh?

 

What's the point of the Music Locker? It's a complete recycle of the night clubs we already had. Very lazy of you r*

 

I'm just a little dissapointed in the biggest update ever. But at least supposedly it was made completely from home so that's nice.
