I've had almost no time to play with the Marksman pistol, but I'm sure it's now my new anti-scrub gun, with the rocket launchers coming in a close second.
Keep in mind that it's not always a one-hit kill. Damage will drop-off at range.
 
I don't really have a use for the Marksman Pistol, since 95% of the time, I'm killing NPC enemies. The Heavy Pistol is much better for that in my opinion; one shot headshot kill out to a decent range, and you can shoot about 6 more rounds in the time span of the Marksman Pistol's reload.

@STI9, might be the one called Baggage Carriers, or something close to that. Always a fun time when you know where the firetruck spawns at. If only the killfeed came up with "Leadfoot hosed down _____". :lol:
 
I play the airport one (freight something its called) when I have a daily. Set the weapons to pickup only and camp at my base killing the other guy - launch when there are just 2 of you. I always win because I get more kills:lol:
Yeah I just did the cab one and helped the other guy collect them. :lol:
 
Keep in mind that it's not always a one-hit kill. Damage will drop-off at range.

I've noticed that a few times when playing Mixed Up With Coke. I like to snipe the enemies on both sides of the construction zone. Then, I land on top of the site, and headshot the last few remaining enemies by the overpass with a pistol or Musket.
 
Also worth pointing out that every single weapon except for the sniper/marksman rifles has the same range. The in-game stat just refers to how damage will drop off over range.
 
So, I finally got my T20 after a few friends completed the Humane Labs heist. One of them didn't want a cut since a modder had given him millions, so we divided it up amongst the rest of us as evenly as we could. Ended up getting $475,000 for it, which not only gave me enough for the Progen, but enough to fully upgrade it! :D

I tried to recreate the Napier Green that's on the new 675LT's with a lime green and a dew yellow pearl; not perfect, but it's something different. Felt the Volcano Orange was too mainstream. :p Topped it off with a set of carbon black S Racer wheels, a roof scoop, and the duel vented hood to try an make it as P1 as possible. I just can't get over how hard it launches when you don't spin the tires! The acceleration is absolutly insane!

Now the question is, what do I grind for now? I pretty much have all the cars I've wanted, most of them just need upgrading. I think I'll either go for the Savage, Hydra, or some other Pegissus vehical. I do a lot of missions with randoms to earn money, so I feel the Valkyrie isn't right for me, the Savage I could really have some fun with, and the Hydra is...well...it's the Hydra. What's not to love?

Decisions decisions...
 
Why not get a nice, fast, expensive boat?

I might put at the "Best/Worst You've Dealt With in GTA Online" thread another of those trademarked SPD bounty tales regarding me, my Osiris and my Speeder.
 
In a quick moment of weakness I bought myself a T20 and upgraded it. Sprayed it my usual colour combo and I must say that although it isn't cheap its a great car. I think the only thing I want is a Blackfin.
 
Also worth pointing out that every single weapon except for the sniper/marksman rifles has the same range. The in-game stat just refers to how damage will drop off over range.
And shotguns.
 
And shotguns.
No, they still have the same range (theoretically at least). It just does almost no damage since most of the pellets won't hit anything.

The heavy shotgun differs from the rest as it fires slugs instead of buckshot, which makes it a lot more consistent.

R* is up to something. Why so many 2X GTA$ and RP heist events?

I think I know their plan. Have all these X2 payouts as an excuse for the crazy prices in the next update.
 
So while I'm waiting for everyone in my heist crew to get back on, can someone tell me how much money the set ups for the Series A Heist are paying out right now?
 
Humane pays more, is shorter (thanks to some long long drives in setup 4 and 5) and is easier, in my opinion.

And for good reason: DON'T START SPENDING THEM MONIES YET! Here's a little tidbit from their website that you might or might not miss.

And lookout for bonus temporary mark downs on GTA Online gear and vehicles throughout the week, which will be announced via our official Twitter, Instagram and Facebook.
 
If you can wait another 5 hours I'll help :lol:
@CallmeDan was kind enough. ;)

I could swear I read somewhere that dailies would contain at least one task that can be done without other players--I got darts, tennis, and a Capture - Raid event. Found out with the above's objectives that LTS can be done with as few as 2 players though, so that's nice.

There was mention some time ago of collecting one's own bounty, how do you go about this?
