I'm not one to complain about payouts, but I calculated that to max modify a vehicle- that includes 100% armor and bulletproof tyres- I have to complete Coverted 16 times (one playlist). Considering how much time it takes, that's a tad unfair.

Or Field of Screams V4 twice.

Payed for my new Massacro thanks to @Snorevette.

Depends on the car too, some are much cheaper to upgrade. And, if you wanted to paint your car a particular colour, you'll have to win races, do stunt jumps or complete slipstreams.

Also, a lot of parts are unlocked through race wins or they're level locked, that's a lot of time and money we all dedicate to GTAO.

Oooh, what's this that you speak of?

Yeah I know, I just noticed that it's around ~$150k to ~$200k to max a car.

It's a hacked mission, loosely based off the capture that goes by the same name, created by some guy who must have access to the Dev Content Creator.

Basically a team of up to 8 guys have to get a tractor that is being guarded by about 50 cops, some armed with RPG's, and who have 2 helicopters as air-support. A few people normally go and grab tanks, a few more get Buzzards, one guy grabs a (Jetsam) Cargobob that re-spawns nearby, and the rest go on the ground. The tanks and heli's then have to provide cover for the Cargobob, ensuring it doesn't get shot down, and kill the (respawning) police, while the Cargobob hopefully picks up the tractor, takes it 100m down the road, and comes back for another. Of course, if the 'bob gets shot down, the guys on the ground have to run to it and try to drive it to the drop-off, while the tanks cover them. It's pretty good fun, but the game lags because there's so much going on. But it's best feature, is that it pays out $75k a pop on hard. And has been removed from everyone's bookmarks.

Although there are reports of people still running it, so if you get an invite to FoS V4, accept it.

 

[Dan]

It lags your system? I would definitely crash if I played it.

 

[Dean]

I was wondering if it was just my system that was laggy, but I'm kind of glad to see it's not only me.

So, about Rockstar fixing the Armored Trucks.....

LOL NOPE. Me and 3 friends tonight acquired about 150k each in about 2 hours of armored truck spawns. They only stopped when the one went to bed for the night.

Then again, Rockstar had claimed to have fixed it 2-3 patches ago as well...

1.04 patch notes: 'You know what, Armored trucks are just gone. We give up trying to fix this.'

 

[Dan]

What is the average payout of one armored truck?

 

[yabiggoose]

In my experience on average 6k, can be as little as 1.5k or as much as 10.5k

Followed by frantic escape tactics or a call to creepy old Lester.

 

[GTPorsche]

90% of the time, my silenced assault shotgun and just firing two shots into the rear doors while standing pretty close to the back of the truck does not get me a wanted level.

 

[E28]

Some little 🤬 just blew up my Massacro and I had to pay the $3k bloody insurance, and I can't kill him back because I'm trying to lower my mental state, and one 🤬 kill will send me straight back up to psycho.

God I hate the mental state feature. All the white blips are the ones you need to watch for.

My mental state has never been an issue.. I may have an accidental npc get taken out but it goes back to normal pretty quickly. I think all those that get to psycho are just doing what they always do and are now seeing how aggressive they are actually playing. I'm not judging.. Hell,play how you like.. It's a game ..just noting that I have rarely gone past pink with that feature.

 

[E28]

I got to psycho purely acting in self defence. Some little squeakier comes up to you with a white blip and opens fire, you gun them down, and boom, like half a bar is filled.

Hmm.. I rarely join the public lobbies because of the typical squeakers and asshats there. Probably another factor in my remaining "stable"

That's why I just SP to MP my cars. Plus with save editors, I have a few cars that have custom licence plates and even North Yankton license plates

I hit two yesterday for 16.5k a piece.

Why not play in your own private free roam server? There is no reason AT ALL that you need to play in public free roam servers.

 

[Snorevette]

Don't suppose anyone can help me win 19 races? I want to unlock all performance parts since I'm making another Sultan for rallying with my last 400k.

 

[Ken]

I successfully completed the SP2MP glitch and got me a hearse! It was surprisingly easy.


EDIT: Now I wish that I had three garages.

Because it's so ridiculously boring on my own, I kind of like some of the carnage, just hate the mental state feature.

 

[Ken]

So does the Sp2mp glitch not work for vechiles that are no longer online? I tried to bring over the towtruck, and it was a no go.

I'm sure you can, but it makes GTA very angry when you bring vehicles not allowed online. I brought over a snowy SUV from the prologue and GTA pretty much broke down and cried in a corner. Nothing loaded, everything was broken, I couldn't access the pause menu.

 

[Katiegan]

Having a tow truck in GTAO causes everyone else in the room to freeze if you use it. So if you're in a public lobby and you tow somethin', you're a douche.

 

[Ken]

OK. I'm not a douche. I thought if I just used the vechile to tow something, it would crash. Not if I just brought the car over. Guess I stick to Buffaloes to sell.

Tried this for the first time just now (didn't have a silencer though) and didn't get a wanted level . Thanks for the tip 👍

 

[gtuned]

Huh. Last time I was playing with my friend with the Developer's console, he spawned a Tow Truck and we messed around with it with no problem.

 

[Dan]

It still blows my mind that R* hasn't created Friendly Fire OFF free roam lobbies. We had them in GTA IV, why not V? Passive mode sucks because you can still get run over, and it's disabled in your vehicle.

I would prefer it if the only things that could kill me were hostile NPCs and my own stupidity. So, that means no more sticky bombing, sniping, getting my face blown off with a shotgun, blasted by a Lazer, being pancaked by chrome Adders, and no more Titan kamikaze'ing. I don't enjoy treating every white blip as a threat because I know there are SOME players with a sense of morality. I also hate playing in solo/private lobbies. Yes, I have friends that I could play with, but they aren't always playing GTA. I also like to meet new people online.

Expectations of me in an FF off lobby:
Me: "Oh hey, that's a nice Entity XF you have."
Random: "Thanks man! Nice Z-Type."
Me: "Thank you. See you around some time." *Carries on with whatever I was doing*

Expectations of me in an FF on lobby:

Me: "Oh hey, that's a nice--" BOOM!
