R.I.P.

[NULL AND VOID]

We've all seen how different gta online is playing now that the newest DLC has dropped and I want to know what has been "RIPed" for you since December 15th.

 

Please list one thing that will "Rest in Peace" for eternity thanks to the Cayo Perico heist.. I'll start.

 

RIP Orbital Cannon!

Red Dead Online.

 

This DLC just embarrassed how R* are butchering RDRO, lol.

 

Just by being free to use any lobby choice for this heist creamed that game. How one can still offer the freedom it does while the other goes all out to remove/restrict it is a joke. It's like they never wanted RDRO in the first place.

RIP buzzard 

[Pedinhuh]

I know a handful of those:

 

RIP Diamond Casino Heist (I'm a solo player and I make more money with CPH than this old heist that needs two players...Absolutely no point in relying on randumbs ever again and listening to Lester's annoying voice for the time being)

 

RIP to Doomsday Heist (no point in relying on Bogdan's ever again with the CPH being so easy)

 

RIP to all OG Heists (to whomever is the unfortunate person who still needs to do those heists, they will need to rely on the help of three other randumbs...You have my sympathies)

 

As a matter of fact:

 

RIP to ALL forms of active income from freeroam businesses (Cayo Perico heist outclasses every single one of them in time spent × monetary reward)

 

Now moving onto other things:

 

RIP to all standard assault rifles (The new Military Rifle outclasses them all)

 

RIP Yatchs (it was dead on arrival, now it completely ceased existing for me)

 

RIP Stromberg (Toreador outclasses it in almost every possible way)

 

RIP Itali GTO (Itali RSX is way faster than it and also looks better)

 

RIP CEO Buzzard (Sparrow spawn points are the best ever, and the thing is agile exactly like the Buzzard)

 

RIP BF Injection (BF Weevil is the true VW Bug we deserved...Save for the stupid engine sound)

 

RIP Grotti Brioso R/A (the incoming Brioso 300 is the real deal even if it's slow, the R/A is an abomination just like the modern Fiat 500 is)

 

RIP Volatol (well kind of, the new bomber is faster and has a working stealth mode, but less bombs and takes more storage space...Volatol was dead on arrival anyway)

isn´t the special carbine still better?

Yeah man, it is better with the right ammunition. (My opinion)

 

And @Pedinhuh I said list ONE thing you crazy.

[Yellow Dog with Cone]

RIP our own Nightclubs, The Music Locker is literally what the After Hours update should have been about, a social gathering place for players instead of just an AFK money printing machine.

 

RIP Vinewood Boulevard Radio, The Kult is a way better alt rock music station IMO.

Alright, alright. Take my angry like.

You may be right, but for most occasion it's just easier and faster to spawn the Buzzard than to go into 200 other menus in order to spawn the Sparrow. Also, it's nice that now whenever I destroy my Buzzard one way or another, I have the Sparrow as spare and don't have to wait the cooldown or wait for the Mk II to arrive.

Edit: One thing I forgot to mention: is it just me or does the Sparrow have bigger rotors than the Buzzard? That's definitely a con as far as versality goes. For me the Buzzard is still king, the Sparrow can be the prince.

Pedinhuh already covered my list, with one addition:

RIP the Kraken, the original submersible submarine.
I really enjoyed this sub because it was a nice way to step outside the obnoxious mayhem and just explore while cruising at a fun pace. Now, it's like sitting inside a dead carp waiting to explode at the hands of someone's Toreador.

RIP the game, altogether.
Some may say that GTAO "jumped the shark" a long time ago, with the addition of flying rocket launchers and such, but for me and my style and interest of gameplay, this is it. I've spent more time in Passive Mode recently than ever before in the 7 years prior.

Between Jets, Oppressors, Deluxos, Toreadors, Oribital Cannons, Godmode Speedo, and everything else, the game has lost any sense of immersive content for players to indulge in for any prolonged amount of time. Nowadays, you play and you get blown up.

It's too bad, because obviously, I love this game. It's just no fun to be forced into Passive because you just can't get anything done.

Rip grinding terabyte/vip freeroam missions in invite only (until double money that is). Love the fact I can do the heist solo in invite only, and take my time, and make a few mil a week if I played everyday. I never joined the other heists because I hate being rushed.

 

@Veleno 15fps on Fatbox One for the win.

[RyuNova]

Goodbye to grinding at all.

You can spend three hours a week setting up and completing a Cayo Perico Heist and make more money than you would Solo in a week doing any other Solo method. All grinding guides are useless now. The only advice should be "Buy Sub, Prep heist, Sub, Drain, Loot, Escape.

[HamwithCheese]

Rip in piece fun

[Cigars and chill]

I still prefer doomsday heists above all else. Then OG heists. Nothing compares to the combat mg mkII imo.

 

I still use my yatch to mess with jet griefers.

 

Rip my bifta as my fave play car.

[NULL AND VOID]

Rest in Peace Prison Break! Never going back to that heist...

I agree on all accords, but I should add that I still can't believe that The Music Locker is literally just our own nightclubs...Only sh*ttier.

 

I still haven't forgotten the bullsh*ttery with the Bahamas Mamas West.

The Mk2 version yes, but I'm talking about the Mk1 versions.

 

And if they ever decide to introduce a Mk2 version of this rifle, it will be the final nail in the coffin of the balance between all assault rifles.

You say that now until they nerf the payout like they've nerfed every other decent paying jobs in the game since 2013

[Arrows to Athens]

Wait, why RIP Orbital Cannon? I mean, that's music to my ears, but what exactly changed with the Orbital Cannon? Was there a nerf or something?

probably because guided missiles from the sub can do the same thing for free, twice, and on a 1 minute cooldown instead of an in-game day

[Standard Deluxe 59]

Rip doing much of anything in free roam, those cruise missiles are a helluva lot of fun, I mean uh are a bit overpowered...

Well technically you have to pilot them yourself so they aren't exactly like the orbital cannon.

Both are great vehicles and it's good that you can insta use them or even spawn them both at the same time if the need calls.

 

But you can spam missiles non-stop with one vehicle and wait for a cooldown with the other. The Sparrow you can spawn while you are in MC or in no mode at all, while the Buzzard you can spawn only while CEO. Those are making all the difference where the two are on par with each other in almost every other aspect (Buzzard can carry 4 people instead of two, but how often do you need/use this?).

[eejyool]

As a consequence of RIP other solo making methods, I'd say also RIP to public sessions. If I'm not mistaken this heist can be done entirely in an invite only session, and to be honest public sessions for me are usually okay, but I really can't play properly when every 5 minutes some dumbass decides to destroy my whole base of operations in, like, 3 hits. I still don't understand why the sub is so weak.

[xInfected_Virus]

RIP solo money making guide I created, totally useless now. With Cayo Perico all of the stuff there is now outdated but I'm currently updating it which is still in progress. Not sure when it will be finished since I've been really busy.

Unpopular R. I.P:

R. I. P Cayo Perico Heist in the long run

 

 

Bogdan is still the best money maker, can be done in under 12 minutes, requires no preps that take 3 hours in itself (if of course you have it from before.) also requires only one person/friend. 

 

This heist is made unnecessary grindy and with all those preps for it, it has already become stale for me. Island isn't fun to explore either as you can't even climb the smallest of rocks, before your character falls (the whole design is dull). To top it all of stealth in this game is broken, especially on PC. So it is almost impossible to do the heist solo without getting detected and being mowed down by the terminator NPCs. 

 

You get none of that in Bogdan and still can do the heist itself in under 12 min with decent people.

Check recent Gtamen guide for solo approach. You don't get detected, you don't get shot, it's simple and fast.

Bogdan is a glitch, though. It's a cheat. Cayo Perico can be done in about an hour from scouting to transferring money to bank, solo, and is completely legit.

[NULL AND VOID]

If you are still glitching Bogdan heist please put your hand, maybe both hands in a blender. Imo it's okay for anyone under rank 100 but c'mon it ain't hard to be legit in in this game. Childs play...
