GTA V - General Thread

[Speedy6543]

Do cheats block any trophies, like permanently. Like the IV when the police related trophies got blocked for using wanted level cheats.

Once you activate a cheat you get a message saying that trophies are unavailable for the remaining of the playsession.

EDIT:
Tree'd

 

[Omnis]

Not permanently, only for the current session. :tup:

I'll try getting that tomorrow, for sure!

Anyone know the placement of the F16-lookalike (I'm not sure of it's name)?

It's in Fort Zancudo. Every time I've tried to steal one I get blown up by SAMs.

I'm pretty sure this has been transferred over from previous GTA games, but I really like hearing about all the crimes and heists you've done on the radio. GTA IV (Complete Edition with Liberty City Stories) and GTA V were the only GTA games I have owned (Played a little bit of SA and one of the Vice City's at a former friend's house) and played through. I haven't completed GTA IV or the other Liberty City games, though. After playing GTA V, I almost don't want to go back and finish those games.

 

[Dean]

It's in Fort Zancudo.

Thanks!

The bail bonds missions you can't 'trigger' if you lost the email, I was in the same boat. All you can do is cheat and lookup where the first one is online, then go to find them. There is no other way to retrigger the first one if you didn't do it for a while after activating it with Maude.

The other street races only unlock once you win the first one and they also only appear at night, you can't do them in the day.

I've done the first one but left it alone, now I can't call Maude or even see her at her house. I've got some googling to do.

Edit, I think your profile privacy won't let me see your stats.

I think it was in III/LCS. I most certainly remember the tune in the radio when ''LIBERTY NEEEEEWS'' was said.

Well same thing, you just need to find the second guy, nothing else you can do.

I'll check my profile.

Ya I backtracked using locations I found online. To anyone with a similar issues, just go to the area where a bail bonded guy might be and bring him in, everything will work back out normally after that. Also note, bail bond missions don't count towards your 100% completion.

On another note, I just had a major FML moment. I was deep into hunting, 5 points away from gold then bam, game freezes!! I sure hope the challenges that I did were saved .

 

[Samus]

Hunting isn't required for 100% either it seems.

How do you lose e-mails?

Not being sarcastic, would actually like to know because I hate getting tons of "Here's your weekly income" e-mails with seemingly no button to delete.

Invincibility:

Xbox 360: Right, A, Right, Left, Right, RB, Right, Left, A, Y

PS3: Right, X, Right, Left, Right, R1, Right, Left, X, Triangle

Catch? Can only last for 5 minutes and cannot be used for missions/hobbies and pastimes.

Does it apply to any vehicle you're in as well? I remember the health cheat previously being a way to fix your car as well.

 

[jacnob]

Invincibility doesn't apply to your vehicle; tried it with the F16, Titan, and the Rhino to no avail.

 

[Valkyrie427]

5 minute player-god mode? That sounds pretty balanced, despite god mode typically being overpowered.

Also, what happened to cheats being able to be saved in your phone? I thought R* said you could save cheats you activated in your phone.

 

[Dean]

... But you can't get killed, even if your vehicle blows up while sitting in it, with that cheat, or?

Lose is perhaps the wrong word, rather you can only ever see the last few (10,15?) so if you get the email from Maude and then a load more after you won't be able to see as far back as the Maude one.

 

[BlazeTheCat05]

Nope you don't die if your vehicle gets blown up. You just travel along in the blown up wreckage until it comes to a stop. It's a pain if you get shot out of the sky by those damn SAM sites.

 

[BlazeTheCat05]

While driving on Great Ocean Highway in a Docktug (or as I like to call it, the result of collecting all 7 Chaos Emeralds while driving an Airtug), I noticed a red Bati 801 next to me suddenly speed up and through traffic. A Vader up ahead joined him. Looks like they were street racing. They disappeared well off into the distance.
I knew about NPCs racing you, but NPCs racing NPCs? Now THAT is a nice touch!

I thought stealing the F16's from Fort Zancudo was rather easy. I just took a semi, tractor, trash truck, or other tall vehicle and jump on top of it over the concrete wall next to the Fort's fire station. I then steal a firetruck, spray the guards chasing after me, and then o full throttle to the nearest jet. When I'm in it, you don't have to turn onto the runway to take off - you just go straight and you're up. Dodging the missiles isn't that bad either, you just go up, down, left, or right really quickly once they get close to you. The hardest part for me is landing it.


Also, I was doing the submachine gun challenge at the firing range today as Franklin, and on my first try I got rank 249 for the world. That felt really good.

It seems Sultans are so popular that they spawn everywhere. I eve. Found one parked in the outskirts of military base in trails..

I'm glad that they have the parts that were on the Sultan RS, although no side exhausts. Kind of a subtle nod to the one in GTA IV, although without the semi-overpowered performance figures. Now, we have more OP vehicles to worry about.

Well the Futon doesn't spawn anymore. And I accidently lost mine. Hopefully we can buy them GTA Online.

 

[SuperShouden]

I will say I REALLY wish there was a delivery company that allowed you to use the tractor trailers like in San Andreas. Driving the big rigs feels like I'm playing 18 Wheels of Steal. VERY Satisfying.

 

[nostuner03]

So I did a demonstration to my friends the other day on how to steal a jet and as I was driving up to the runway a wild tank appeared and blew me up.

*looks at friends and quickly thinks of a witty comment to keep his dignity*

“It was just a practice run. See, I'm showing you what would happen if you hesitate, or drive too slow...."

Ah, ok. That's still actually good to know. 👍

You don't even have to go up. Just stay low to the ground.

Now stealing the Titan is a pain. Every one I encountered was parked facing the hangars.

I took the jet on my 3rd attempt in God Mode.

1: I went in through the east entrance on Franklin's Bagger, and got in a jet. I think I made some off-colour remarks about "Daddy's not coming home" while fending off soldiers with the carbine rifle. I got in a jet, but just as I was about to take off, some asshole in a tank blew me up. I still had 2.5 minutes of invincibility, so I got in another jet and managed to take off successfully. However, in my attempt to avoid the cops, my jet somehow ran out of fuel (probably because I went to the top of the map) and I glided down to a crash landing on a freeway in the middle of Los Santos. My invincibility expired a few seconds afterwards.

2: I went in the east entrance in a Range Rover rip-off. Again, I tried getting into a jet, and got blown up. This happened twice. I noticed that the timer was running out quickly, so I tried inputting the invincibility code again, in the hope that the timer would restart. Nope, I just deactivated it, and was quickly turned into Swiss Cheese.

3: I went in the west entrance in the Comet. Using Franklin's special ability, I dodged advancing tanks as I took 90-degree corners at speeds that would make Sebastian Vettel wince. To my dismay, all but one of the jets were blown up. I made my escape by heading north, barely missing one of the hangars. Although I ran into a couple of choppers, I managed to make it to LSIA without any police attention. Of course, dumbass here landed too hard and snapped off the landing gear. I had to scrape the jet against the ground to get it into my hangar, and thankfully it didn't blow up.

Now I just have to hope my hangar doesn't glitch out.

That's in Trevor's mailbox, right?
Deleting some mails should eventually make Maud's mail visible again I hope. If not I'll have to hope a location triggger will work.

 

[Dean]

It will.

 

[Samus]

Yep, once you activate the mission with Maude the guys will always spawn even if you don't still have the email. Just makes finding them harder unless you cheat and look on the net.

 

[Speedy6543]

Ok, thanks. I'll try to find that e-mail first. In case I don't find it, I'll cheat and look it up on the web/youtube.

Whose ready for GTA Online ?
