So, I bought my Insurgent last night. Guy blew it up with two Uzi shots, then paid "The full $157 premium" on it...

I think that happens when they don't have enough money. You still get the car back for free, they just didn't have enough cash to pay.

Is R* going to bring down the banhammer if you do this?

Quote is from GameFaqs so it may or may not be true. I duped many cars on PS3 and never had a problem.

They only give out severe punishments like that towards modders.

How the hell...?

I say hacks.

 

[Dagger311]

Hit 120 last night. Couldn't buy the minigun because of some bug. Logged on this morning and it was available though.

Edit: Didn't even realize I double posted...

Can the Insurgent be destroyed if it's soaked in gasoline and ignited? I know that the chances a player will ever do this are extremely unlikely, but I still want to know.

 

[Snorevette]

Huh. Online has been out for more than a year and only now did I figure out that vending machines completely restore your health.

I didn't know that either.

So does riding the Ferris wheel or the coaster at the pier. If you ride the wheel and then go right to the coaster, it not only restores health but fills armor...

I never knew this.

Getting into an Ambulance will restore your health and getting into the huge riot vans will restore your body armor, but this only works the first time you enter the vehicle. You can get them restored if you find a new ambulance or riot van.

 

[AnthonyD1993]

My friends always thought I was a moron for going vending machine hunting until we did the Boneyard Survival. One of the guys got his health replenished at the machine because he had no time to run for another health pack. It saved that guy that round because the enemies were just starting to spawn and he was about 3 shots from death.

This is one of the many details I love about GTA. About to die? Call an ambulance. Need armor? Call up the local SWAT team. Unarmed? Steal a cop car.

Cop cars give Pump Shotguns, right?

Yes. As you can see, the LSPD is really good with keeping firearms secure.

But they're certainly not afraid to bring them out when someone commits the heinous act of standing near an officer.

Or if someone accidentally even slightly bumps into a patrol car. Don't forget that, either.

Or if you pull out a heavy weapon and aim it and civilians.

 

[CinnamonOD]

Or shooting civilians with the Flare Gun.

Even if it's the police officer's fault.

*Cop slams into player's motorcycle*
*Player gets knocked off and gains one star*
*Cop exits car*
*Player gets their face blown off with a shotgun*

 

[ExoSphere64]

Or.... When the fuzz bumps into YOU!

I was sitting in my Ferrari next to the movie studio when a cop Rams into me. I go to exchange insurance info when Our friendly neighbourhood police officers begin shooting me. I think, well **** you too! And get out my minigun and kill them both. Then I got 3* and I ran til I lost them

 

[Lameonade]

Hey, did you guys know that you can get inside the Police Station on Mission Row through the back door? I found that it's a great way to hide from annoying trolls.


yes, rather than fighting them I hide from them.

 

[STI9]

Ssh, thats a great secret.

 

[Sage Ages]

There's a back door?

 

[Lameonade]

There's a back door?

Yep. Right here:

So, after watching GTAseriesVideos play the Humane Labs Raid last night, it appears the AI Buzzards can fire their miniguns in any direction they want, regardless of where the chopper is facing. How lovely!

 

[Sage Ages]

You're in a flying tank. It's not something to really worry about.

The Valkyrie is basically a flying tank. Front cannon and an MG on each side. Ultimate Chopper if you ask me.
