How so? Levels lock most of the good stuff, then cash.

you can't put a price on sparks
there should be a free-roam deathmatch mode.
I bought my first ignition bomb today. Fitted it on my Entity XF and parked right outside LSC in the northern part of the city. I climbed up the nearby building to make it seem like I was busy sniping and waited. Less than two minutes later I had a bite!
But the thief parked his personal vehicle next to mine beforehand. Both cars blew up, I got stuck with all the bills, and now I have a new hat:
I regret nothing.

That free Elegy we get from having social club is my lucky charm, everytime I drive it those Felon GTs spawn and those bad boys sell for 9,500 at LSC. I have 6 in my garage right now
What in the hummana-hey?
Also, there's a loading screen tip that says we get a free 2-car garage from signing up to Social Club... pretty sure I never got my garage. Did it mean offline only?

The tip is incorrect. You get the garage with the Limited or Deluxe edition or something. You get the Elegy from the Social Club.

That would be the only mode I'd play.
That's been my dream for awhile
Be a bad player, problem solved
I tend to just steal cars left and right until an npc sets a bounty on my head. At least the bounties encourage the madness of a free for all.
Oh right. So the Elegy should be free when browsing the autos store on the phone? I haven't done any online shopping yet.
Yes. It will simply say free, while everything else has a $ value next to it.
I meant to say lasting appeal. Like I know most people who care about cash are the ones who wants to buy rhino buzzards super cars etc.
Lovely, thanks for confirming!
There kinda is. Get a crew together, maybe 4 guys. Get in a car which can seat everyone. Drive around to an area with a few players, and just start some shit by shooting at them. BOOM! More fun than actual deathmatch.

Have R* released the GTA$s yet?
No patch, no $. They're still fixing instability issues with regards to progress loss. Woe is us.

Dagblammit, I got five kids to feed!
I'm almost level 50 and I cannot see crate drops. I thought one hadnt happened yet for me, but playing with a buddy he mentions he was going to collect one and I was floored.
I see the green Simeon cars and the gang attacks, but that's it. I hope it gets fixed in the next update.

I haven't even played in 4 days and I'm also around your level (65). R* needs to spice things up a lot. I play alone and messing around in free roam loses its charm. Curious to see what the special events bring.

I was thinking instead of making more expensive bounties, they should allow you dogpile someone in bounties.

And then you blow up their vehicles and get sent to the bad sport lobby where it's all deathmatch all the time

I really.. really don't understand how people destroy others vehicles so coincidentally. Do you just run around with grenades and bombs and don't bother shooting?

I do that on occasion, because it's a ton of fun littering the roadway with explosions. I have been lucky enough to NOT have blown up someones car in a while though. If I did, I have it coming
Though, I love finding peoples personal cars, then setting off HUGE explosion chains around them, but not close enough to get them. That realllllly freaks them out & sends them hightailing it away in no time.
Only 6? Pffff, child's play.
I somehow managed to spawn inside a car after coming out of LSC a couple days ago.

I like that in car view there from the backseat. Makes me wish we could see that in game^^ Being one of the only open world games that allows in car views, c'mon wit it Rockstar! I am also greatly saddened by the lack of FPV when you put a big block motor on your Sabre Turbo D:
Back to topic, I found great fun yesterday by following a random low level (single digit level) n00b around, being his getaway driver several times, then taking him back to my garage where I told him to pick any car he wanted. He picked my Entity, then he tore up the city for abouta good 20 minutes before it got totalled. I gave him some wanted levels to see how he would react to it, and he handled himself well! It was an excellent change of pace, and very fun to see how other people react to the given situations.
Awesome, this helps me out too, thanks. On a side note, love that avatar. Simon & his Pops needs to make a triumphant return.

lol how long do they exile you to the bad sport lobbies until you're able to come back?
I've been wanting to outfit my Bati with an ignition bomb because it gets stolen EVERY single time I play free roam. I'll either get off the bike to go into a store or I'll get killed and it gets stolen but I swear other people drive it more often than I do. And I don't want to set it so my vehicles are off limits to other people because then they can't drive them during missions if they have to and honestly I have fun trying to get it back in free roam.
I figure the ignition bomb would be pretty hilarious to use but I didn't even think about the possibility of people leaving their cars by it. Might be worth it though.

The point I was trying to make was that duckroll's full-map "deathmatch" suggestion is limited compared to what an actual full-map deathmatch mode would offer. If throwing a sticky bomb onto an enemy's car is possible at a given moment, I want to be able to do it without worrying about being able to join friends' games for two days.
I get why the bad sport mechanic exists. I've never gotten sent to the bad sport lobby, but I've blown up a lot of personal vehicles. I want a mode focused on free-for-all or team deathmatches where you can do whatever you like to defeat others/the other team. Deathmatches in GTAIV were great because they could be set to where the entire city and all its vehicles were available. As they are now, V's deathmatches are probably the worst mode because each one takes place in tiny areas in which all the problems with the shooting controls become evident. Couple that with the low-health and limited weapon selection, it's just a boring mode.

Soooo apparently you can set someone's car on fire with the gas can and when it blows up not get the bad sport penalty and not have to pay the insurance.
Found that out last night when someone decided to do that to my Entity, was not pleased.

Heh, I once used a fighter jet to avoid a bounty. Climbed to the sky ceiling and just glided with no thrust for ages.
Loved GTA IV's deathmatches..these, not so much at all. I am going to rant a bit here, however the online play in GTA IV, to me, was a more refined experience. I played GTA IV online up until GTA V launched and have actually gotten the urge to throw it back in for some old fashioned GTA racing, cops n crooks and deathmatch. That is a shame considering how big of a fan I am of GTA in general.
Don't know how you did it catdafelix but I couldn't get it to work. Plane was slow like normal.
Oh well. There must be some kind of trick to it that I'm not getting.

Pretty useful tidbit, thank you. Also, to be sure, you had your landing gear up, correct?

I finally unlocked Crate Drops yesterday, but it seems now that Armored Trucks don't appear anymore.
Before that, I was always seeing 2 or 3 Armored Trucks every time I was playing multiplayer.
So, did I screwed myself by unlocking Crate Drops?

armored trucks pop up very randomly for me. And when they do spawn, they seemingly spawn over and over again for a long while. I made 100k off armored trucks alone yesterday.

I'm trying to get the Full Metal Jacket Platinum Award (Rob 25 Armored Trucks) and I'm at 20/25, but sometimes the truck I rob doesn't count to this (I still get the money, but it doesn't count).
If you're in a room with people that are not ranked high enough to unlock armored trucks they won't spawn at all. It only takes one too.

Kinda glad it isn't out yet, more time to stack up $$$ with the LSC glitch.
BTW has there been any car confirmed to be the best one to upgrade to get the most money out of in the glitch?
The most I'm selling is a coupe for $90,000.
Only 6? Pffff, child's play.

The fact that they even bother making car and aircraft interiors is why I love the first person mod that eventually comes out for these games on PC.

Hmmm, just tried this out, and I got the bad sport warning and had to pay. I wonder if there is some trick to it?
It's a shame that mission only unlocks until you're high ranked
I found that "The Commute" is a easy and fast race to farm money. It's a 2minutes race and depending how many players are, you can net up to 9K in a single race if you win (also, it gives a lot of RP points). And you can access it from rank 1.

I get $127,500 or so for Franklin's buffalo.
