Introducing the Vapid Slamtruck, a Stuntman’s Fever Dream Plus Double Rewards on the Bunker Series

[Standard Deluxe 59]

 

Due to a recent spate of accidents involving this model, Vapid wants to remind any potential buyers that a common side effect of driving the Slamtruck is the constant stream of idiots attempting to clear your ramp on the freeway. See one coming? For the love of god, duck.

The Vapid Slamtruck, now available from Southern San Andreas Super Autos.

 

 

2X GTA$ & RP on the Bunker Series

The best fun is underground. In the case of the Bunker Series, we mean that literally: head deep under the earth’s crust and shoot it out in a high-tech shelter built to withstand a thermonuclear Judgment Day. What’s not relaxing about that? To sweeten the deal, all subterranean modes included in the Bunker Series are dishing out double the usual payout to all combatants.

 

 

2X GTA$ & RP on Gunrunning Sales

If you’d rather make moves above the surface, you can always offload some of your precious contraband via Gunrunning Sales – they’re paying out 2X GTA$ & RP all week long. Satisfying demand has never felt so good. And should your lab rats need a boost, all Gunrunning Research speeds are doubled through January 27th, as well.

 

 

Faded Vapid Tee for Veteran Players

Brand loyalty is a valuable commodity these days. As a reward for their continued allegiance, players who already claimed the Vapid Tee during a previous GTA Online event will receive a rare Faded Vapid Tee, free of charge. This is the kind of irreplaceable vintage that collectors pay top dollar for – cherish it accordingly.

 

 

Podium Vehicle: Vapid Peyote Custom

Once you stumble out of your king-sized bed in the Penthouse, stop by the lobby of The Diamond Casino & Resort and give the Lucky Wheel a spin. This week, you could walk away with the keys to the Vapid Peyote Custom, an old-school lowrider and a carjacker’s dream.

Probably because it's a Benny's car, we get money back from parts bought on the podium cars and the benny upgrade counts as parts

I don’t try and win the podium vehicle anymore and if i do i reject it...don’t want to be accused of cheating or risk my cars being removed in error lol

I guess I wont be winning the Toreador.

 

They have such sh*tty bonus events whenever I play. Of course I missed the 2x contact missions

[Lonely-Martin]

The bonuses and discounts mean little to me, but for those keen, enjoy. 

 

Looking forward to a cruise about in that truck though. I'm sure my lad will enjoy flinging himself off a bike off that.

 

Cheers @Standard Deluxe 59.

Just don't tell anyone if you win and no one can accuse you of it but removed in error is a little more tricky tho  

I tried winning the toreador but no luck, after a couple of disconnects I gave up

[IceDree]

Bunker bonus is always welcomed. The phantom wedge sale is easy money.

 

The discounts are not for me this time around. I get my bank account is relieved, it got pounded these past couple of weeks.

 

 

R* is at it again with the posing mods, sigh. Mods for me, but not for thee.

Nice shot though, almost tempting to buy the Elle again, almost.

@Standard Deluxe 59thank you for doing this week's thread, I was tied up yesterday.

But the Slamtruck can NOT be used as a make-shift ramp.

 

For real... I tried the Cliffhanger like in the picture. Not even the Manchez Scout works.

My pleasure man. By the way thanks finding the pictures from the newswire.

[Taterman]

Thanks SD!

I'll be doing some bunker sales this week.

[SplinterCarn]

Bitchfest...

1/ I don't know much, being a noob, but what is the story with kiddie content flooding an R rated game?  Seems to be way too much focus on attracting children to restricted content.  It's kinda disturbing. 

 

2/ A ramp truck that can't carry a car or be used as a ramp ...... So much dumb.

 

 3/ How does 'Bunker Series' even compare to Survival, Motor Wars, In & Out .....  the featured series have been on a serious regression slide since December.  

 

You wanted opinions, right? I have lots.

The bunker series crapersary modes are far better than that dumpster fire called motor wars. I don't see how people like it. I mean you parachute in, run around like a headless chicken looking for a vehicle and the match devolves into who has a half track and AA trailer combo.

In & out is okay but certain maps absolutely suck if you're an attacker.

Of course some of the bunker modes suck like "til death do us part" and "every bullet counts" but "resurrection", "hardest target" and "kill quota" are pretty good.

I'll give you a partial agreement.  I've enjoyed a few rounds of resurrection and kill quota, when there's more than 2 playing, but look at the numbers in there. Apparently I'm not alone in my opines.  Previous featured series sessions had far more players.  Survival should have been featured longer. New maps came in the day they took it off feature.   Decisions by RS don't seem to make much sense.

Maybe new to me ... I've only been playing 2 months. There was one at the Maze bank with cops, and a scrapyard one with meth-necks, among a few others .... much bigger areas than what was in the featured series lot.

Yeah those are the old OLD ones. Almost all of those have been in the game since day 1.

Cheers. I suspected so. They're easier.  Still prefer them to the bunker crap though.

Have you tried the Gargoyle? I've been able to ramp it off the front of sports cars. Just a suggestion, I'm not going to buy the stupid truck to find out, the game is full of ramps already.

Yeah, just did. Gargoyle doesn't work either. I've tried the Manchez Scout before because it's even better at ramping off random cars.

 

EDIT: OK, it actually *can* work as a ramp when driving / with the hydraulics active. But not very reliably so, because it's still not an actual ramp like on the Ramp Buggy. It just works because of the game physics the same way you can bounce off things when stunting.

I've given up riding the bikes. The NPC traffic is homicidal.

That's part of the fun of riding motorcycles for me.

 

In a video game of course. In reality it's hell dealing with inattentive drivers.

[Gridl0k]

So it doesn't work as 2 different things, just so on brand.
