Grand Theft Auto Series Megathread V12 - GTA Online: We Have a Hacking Problem - Games

[QUOTE=Zeos;53006823]The fuck's up with the new tank? It bounces around like it weighs like nothing[/QUOTE] Thats because it does weigh basically nothing, its lighter than the rhino.

It feels lighter than most cars.

Im yet to see anyone get banned for rigging up a controller and just going afk in adversary modes, it would be slow but i'd imagine assuming no one kicks you, that you would turns out a fair bit of cash for doing nothing.

is the multi-storey garage worth it? there's one in maze bank west for 1.1mil then an extra mod shop for 900k

[QUOTE=Spectre1406;53007626]is the multi-storey garage worth it? there's one in maze bank west for 1.1mil then an extra mod shop for 900k[/QUOTE] It really depends on what you want it for. You can buy up to three multi-storey garages at one office to get a total of 60 spaces. It's convenient if you have a lot of cars, you can put your most used or favourites all in one place, and adding a mod shop (that also acts as a Benny's) means you pretty much never have to drive to an LSC except to sell cars and do ifruit orders. Or you can just buy one garage for 20 spaces and showcase cars for aesthetic purposes, like one manufacturer only, one class of vehicle only etc.

So, I've been doing Smuggler's Run stuff just for shits and giggles. I've had two sourcing missions in a row fail because and enemy helicopter I shot down landed on the cargo, destroying it. Thank fuck I'm not doing these to actually earn money.

Thank fuck I'm not doing these to actually earn money.[/QUOTE] I swear to god these missions have to be rigged so the helicopters always crash on the cargo, just like how traffic suddenly goes insane when you do import/export missions. Now I just shoot the gunners and let the helis fly around.

Seems like refunds are going out for the free Hermes: [t]https://i.imgur.com/6RTpbXt.png[/t] Just got that when I logged in.

can anybody else do the matte pearlescent paint glitch anymore? I just did it a few days ago, but can't seem to do it now.

How prominent are hackers now btw? I logged on yesterday just to check new clothing and stuff and before I could even properly spawn in, I was already dying to flames that someone spawned on me. Was it just a bad luck or is it really that bad?

[QUOTE=benzinxrm;53006803]While the Hermes Doesn't have a lot of customization options you can make it look like a pretty sweet barn-find vintage land speed racer. [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/i6JYra3.png[/IMG][/QUOTE] Or a rather sick ex-military barn find: [t]https://i.imgur.com/37R4Qcb.jpg[/t] Also you can turn it into the NASCAR Hudson Hornet with "Amazing Albany Hermes" livery. Mind you, it's a bit rusty too.

Interesting how in Doomsday Act 2 hard drives mission the enemy AI that is driving the vehicles to stop you is just copying the buttons you press and immediately follows you. I tried wiggling around and the AI car in from of me did exact same movement :thinking:

[QUOTE=Gatekeeper828;53008256]Seems like refunds are going out for the free Hermes: [t]https://i.imgur.com/6RTpbXt.png[/t] Just got that when I logged in.[/QUOTE] Yup, got mine as well. Apparently some people who couldn't buy the Hermes got the refund as well. Literally free money Never change, Rockstar :v:

[QUOTE=SmellyHippie;53008378]can anybody else do the matte pearlescent paint glitch anymore? I just did it a few days ago, but can't seem to do it now.[/QUOTE] Doesn't work in your office garage wokshop as of Doomsday Heist update, but it works as normal at any LSC.

Thank fuck I'm not doing these to actually earn money.[/QUOTE] I've noticed some Gunrunning source missions are way harder than they used to be before Doomsday. The one where you need to take the APC from the Merryweather convoy is really unfair now, gunners in the Valkyrie shoot you with explosive rounds that knock you off your feet and don't allow you to get up, and do it instantly again as soon as you spawn nearby. If you ever get that mission, shoot the helicopter with heavy weapons before they notice you, it will save you about $2000 in death fees.

I'm loaded as far as cash goes, but the supply missions give me something to do between races and PvP fighting.

Most I've encountered in the last while have been people who spawn in stuff to fuck around with. It might differ between people. Even then they haven't been noticeable in my experience.

Fuck this, I'm buying another Hermes to turn it into the Hudson Hornet.

So is the Hermes actually free now?

No, it still said "free" for me amd I still got money removed

[QUOTE=umega5;53008880]So is the Hermes actually free now?[/QUOTE] I don't think they've fixed it yet judging by the posts about it still charging people on support/other places. I think they've only started sending out refunds. [editline]d[/editline] If you have less than 535K, it might be possible to get free money by trying to buy it since Rockstar has given out money to those who unsuccessfully tried to claim the car as well.

Still, the best way to deal with them is to change session.

I didn't have the cash to buy it, and it didn't show up as free in the store, but I just got my $535k

I haven't loaded up GTA 5 in years, will i get all sorts of bonuses too?

I wish there was a login bonus like 2x cash for all missions and increases every day until I have to go to work for another week. [QUOTE='[aL`H]solokiller`og;53009515']I haven't loaded up GTA 5 in years, will i get all sorts of bonuses too?[/QUOTE] I doubt.

The support article about the Hermes issue was updated: [quote] Question: Why was I charged when I purchased the Albany Hermes after logging in on December 25, 2017? It said it was FREE. What is wrong? Answer: A problem affecting any PC player who logged in on December 25, 2017 caused two related issues. PC players who logged into GTA Online during that time and attempted to redeem the FREE Albany Hermes offer were charged for the vehicle. In addition, players who logged into GTA Online during that time but did not redeem the FREE Albany Hermes offer will still see the initial purchase of the vehicle listed as FREE; however, PC players attempting to redeem the one-time FREE vehicle will be charged. Whether affected PC players redeemed the free vehicle on December 25, 2017 or not, all PC players that logged in that day have had the GTA$ for one Albany Hermes (GTA$535,000) deposited in their Maze Bank account.

[IMG]https://i.imgur.com/i6JYra3.png[/IMG][/QUOTE] oof that looks great, I used the same livery but I didn't think to change the rims like that. hope we get more of these sand flats based liveries, it's fun to put one on a car and blast it down sandy shores airfield

What does everyone think about the new Slashers mode? I enjoy the switch off every minute, and I actually find it more fun to be on the hunted side because it's fun sneaking up on a dude and beating his shit in. Kinda makes me want a spies vs mercs minigame or at least something akin to it.

I can't believe I didn't get it earlier, but the Duke o' Death is incredible for a free car. I can just Kurt Russell around shrugging off police cars. Successfully ramming cars in GTAO is pretty tough but not for this monster. It even gave me a only in GTA Online moment. I was rampaging around, shrugging off miniguns and police vans, when I get exploded outta nowhere by a dude in a reindeer mask, riding a flying motorcycle.

how does the free roam doomsday heist prep work if you already have the required vehicle ie, if you have 1 dulexo, do you still need to source another 3 for the prep? if you have an avenger do you just not need to do that prep at all?
