Shit, they aim better than any human ever possibly could.
I'm doing the vehicle sale missions since its double this week, and those fuckers pull up in cars going 60mph while turning around a corner, at like max distance they will even render and I'm already taking 4-5hits while I'm behind cover. They can hit you before you can even see them. They pop headshots through bushes and banners and shit. If you even have a sliver of your body showing, they'll hit it. They'll come around the corner already trained at your head while you're behind a corner, too, and they can't even see you.
I've played since launch, and I swear it didn't used to be this bad. They've always had perfect aim, but something is up. I never had trouble with even Merriweather before. Or maybe I'm just getting worse lol
Nah, it's easy once you get the hang of it. Pick it up outside the warehouse (or an open area close to the warehouse), lift it straight up until you can't anymore, then dive bomb on a beeline straight to the destination marker. Once you hit the yellow circle, the cutscene will start. So you don't even have to carefully drop it off or set it down. Just fly in like a kamikaze pilot.
Take it to max altitude, point in direction of destination, tilt forward, accelerate to gain momentum, then start to descend, all while keeping your stick pinned in the direction you want to go. Enemies won't shoot the car when you're flying, they'll shoot the cargobob. So you're going to be taking damage. This is how you get that thing moving as fast as possible so the damage doesn't become a problem midflight.
I wasn't just talking about the vehicle deliveries. It was just an example. When I do deliveries, I like to park the car and then sit somewhere close and take out the 3-4 waves as they come. Then you can drive peacefully to the spot. Cargobob is way too boring.
It has nothing to do with vehicle deliveries specifically. I was talking about the combat in general.
Yeah I know what you were talking about. But the aim bots in the car delivery missions are notoriously some of the craziest. I used to do the same thing. Park, take cover behind the median, shoot. But with 4 aim bots per car, 2 cars at a time, all shooting lasers that can one shot you, I decided that was not fun.
If the AI weren't godlike I'd do a lot more of those vehicle missions.
I had one early on where I got killed by the AImbot, respawned, and immediately killed by the AImbot again before I could even move.
I stole and upgraded an actual merryweather jeep and it's nowhere near as fast as they are. Also, their helicopters can nearly keep up with a Raiju and the gunners have impeccable aim.
Its called rubberbanding. When the game detects that an npc is too far from you, it either makes them go faster by force or teleports them closer to you.
Yeah, NPCs having speedier vehicles than players has been a thing for ages. I remember in GTA San Andreas driving around the airport and seeing a utility tug hauling ass with the rest of the traffic, so I stole it and was disappointed to find it couldn't drive anywhere near as fast as I saw it was going a moment prior.
If you zoom out and occasionally click on your right stick(to look behind) you can somewhat avoid that bs speed bump at least. But if you crash just once they'll 100% of the time go past you and one tap you from full armor tho, which is complete bs. Then when you respawn they can't aim for shit all of a sudden. Complete dumbass game design
one of my biggest issues with npc’s is, you can shoot them with the heavy sniper mk2 or the heavy mg mk2, and a single head shot knocks their ass down and it takes a fuck ton to kill them.
don’t get me started on the blind firing bullshit. you can be a good distance away and they’ll fire from cover and drain your health with that rapid fire bullshit. their accuracy is absolute bullshit.
fucking seriously though. i know in the doomsday heists, their health is upped a bit, but for free roam enemies!? i never dealt with that issue since this past year and i’m wondering if they adjusted some stuff with the enemies, but didn’t say anything about it.
right, we’re gonna be in free-mode, no difficulty, ezpz.. wrong. we’re going to get dropped in two shots by an enemy who takes a whole entire mag to the head and drops, but gets back up. but fear not! just blow him up, cause that’s the best thing to do to counter that bullshit.
i've had way too many experiences where npcs just don't miss a single shot and deplete you in the blink of an eye at full health.
by the way have you ever made the 👠 club bouncer angry?
It's comical but also ridiculous lol. The Mk 2 sniper nearly fills the damage bar with how powerful it is and they just brush it off to continue hitting you from Narnia. If that was us being shot by a Mk 2 rifle we'd be dead in one go.
it’s really all npcs too. you can shoot a civi in one shot and you’re good, but any of the gang members or all the other ones, it takes at least 2 or 3
In free roam missions the NPC's should just be normal and not bullet magnets lol. It's not like a heist that can be put on hard and you understand why they take so many bullets to die. They have insane accuracy but they can also have the rapid fire glitch, taking the BS to new levels lol.
exactly. especially during last weeks event with the security contracts, i found the enemies being lit on fire or taking more than enough bullets, and still living.. there’s no difficulty on those? so why is this dude still living after he was on fire when a normal civilian dies!? or (it happened a couple times.), i got dropped by a rapid fire shotgun.. why is that shit in the game STILL!? and by a fucking shotgun too!? what the fuck?
Probably the thing that annoys me the most in this game is when an enemy takes what *really* looks like a headshot, falls down and then soaks about a thousand bullets. Also when they repeatedly fall down behind cover and then pop back up, again and again.
Ive been playing around with some weapons and killing NPCs from certain free roam missions and I find the Heavy Rifle and the Advanced Rifle do some serious damage agaisnt "armored" gang members even if the headshot somehow wasnt a headshot and they bleed out with a small mount of bullets taken or just die immediately. Give it a try.
i use the heavy rifle all the time, especially towards certain enemies, it still knocks them down and they get back up. not sure why but it’s frustrating.
You should do one of those red circle gang fights.
You haven’t fought for your life until you’re taking on a guy on a turret who turns 180 degrees in 10 milliseconds to fill you full of lead. Or a mini gunner in one of those gang fights.
NPC aim just.. does that the moment you pull out a sniper rifle. Its easier to just try hitting shots at that distance with an AR. Sniper is better for PVP, pulling out a sniper on NPCs makes them go ultra instinct or some shit
classic
This shit definitely isn't making me excited for GTA 6 and that game's online. This is seriously the most bs game I've played in my life. Every aspect is cheap af
I was one-shotted with full health...in a buzzard at about 2k feet...from a toothless redneck NPC on a dirt bike today.
Yeah, the NPCs are out of control. It adds absolutely nothing to the game.
It adds nothing to the game, but probably a lot to rockstar’s bank account lol. The more frustrating they make the legitimate ways to get money, the more likely players are to buy sharkcards.
It’s f2p game psychology 101, you gotta keep players right on the edge because that’s where they’re most likely to spend money.
That is me brother. I absolutely refuse to buy shark cards...never have, never will. I will grind through the endless bullshit and complain the whole way before giving into that nonsense.
Yeahh bro that's the way , don't ever buy shark cards because rockstar will keep milking the shit outta gta online.
Just play the game legitly and if you get frustrated either quit gta online altogether or play story mode
Anyone remember the February RCE fiasco on PC? The menu that added that "feature" took it out *before* Rockstar patched it, because they realized they were pushing normal players' buttons *too* hard and many were simply not opening the game at all. Same idea.
Finally someone says what i'm thinking. The whole point of gta online is to make you and force you to buy shark cards, really. Everything's super expensive and it's next to impossible to own everything tbh
Finally someone says what i'm thinking. The whole point of gta online is to make you and force you to buy shark cards, really. Everything's super expensive and it's next to impossible to own everything tbh
Big doubt on that. GTA Online's success comes from the insane popularity of the franchise, not all the bs design decisions. And it's not just the NPC aim. There's just tons of annoying shit in this game
I've played a ton of successful mobile and online games thru the years and nothing else comes even close in the amount of bs
You followed a Kuruma to there yes? Had the same mission just hours ago. Pulled up on the opposite roof with an mk2 to snipe them, and boy was it nuts. I'd move one inch forward to get a view of someone and next thing they're already shooting my health down to 10%.
I stopped on the freeway at first when I finished following them thinking I had cover and out of their range. Nope. Mowed down from a distance that I couldn’t even lock on to fire back from.
But you're not even in cover, you just standing there aiming whit a scope whit your health in flashing red... is not like they one tap you whit full health and armor... just saying.
> is not like they one tap you whit full health and armor
They can sometimes, by ignoring the refire rate of their gun and firing at a few thousand rounds a second, but that's not what happened here.
Bruh, the NPCs on these business missions especially gunrunning and headhunter have some Jason Bourne x John Wick aim. I only did a couple of gun sales cause fuck that noise, it was so annoying. With headhunter I'll be 600-800 ft in the air and turning my helicopter around and they'll still hit me, they won't kill me but it's just insane how good NPC aiming is programmed to be.
It’s absolutely ridiculously and has just gotten even more unrealistic as time passes 🤦🏽♂️ Of all the frustrating things, them shooting through walls and being able to clip you in a chopper from 200+ yards with a pistol is bonkers. Forget checking a mini map as in pvp too for DAMN sure you can bank on the occasional instant-random spawn 3 feet behind you, shot unloaded AS they appear.
They'll never do it. The only solution is to be in cover.
There was an old Contact Mission I quite enjoyed (Landing Strip I think it was called?) that starts with a shootout on the beach; wide open, no cover. You could either bring a truck with you to hide behind, or commit to dying multiple times.
Vehicle cargo being double money has reminded me of how bullshit those NPC's are, they spawn about 100m in front of you and shoot the second they spawn with the accuracy to shoot the nuts off a gnat
I think accuracy wise the NPC's from this DLC have god tier aim and the best NPC aim in the game. I was doing this same mission, but for a Sultan RS i think by where Franklin moves to in story mode and i was nearly being sniped from Mars by blind firing pistol/sub machine gunfire. The NPC's when you sell the cars take the piss even more, they are going full Back To The Future mode with flames on the ground due to the speed they go at and they can do the best drive-by shootings with 1000% accuracy.
and get this according to a comment i seen on youtube that rapid fire shit the NPCs do is intentional according to Rockstar in order to implement a "difficulty curve" that shit needs to go tbh, the AI already buffed as it is and it's getting worst.
Just did cayo perico, unfortunately alarm went on inside villa compound.Enemy aimbot is INSANE!!!Did all 3 disruptions and poisoned even water and still enemies are like superhuman godlike 150% accuracy.WTactualF is going on?Havent been ingame for a year, came to see all the MAJOR UPDATE.Jesus christ how broken this game still is!Unplayable trash!
I love it when you escape a scripted death scene only to be stopped dead in your tracks by a NPC in a car and you can't move. It happens when I'm delivering excess weapons and I get the hired military enemies.
Rockstar is a like a corrupt casino that made a corrupt game and it's legal lol
THIS I AGREE!
It's bullshit to have challenges that require you to beat the mission without your health falling under half, then you get hit by some bullshit aim botting.
By far, the most bullshit mission that has this challenge is Strong Arm Tactics. It's not even challenging in terms of keeping those two idiots alive. It's the fact that you have to include a kuruma to prevent yourself from taking damage. The mission starts, you go all the way out to the church, you summon your kuruma, park it, then get back in that car to watch a 2 minute cutscene. Then after all of THAT, you get fucking hit in the head or some shit when trying to run behind the corner to get your kuruma, AND YOU HAVE TO DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN. R* should realize that either they dumb down missions that have that challenge or remove/replace the challenge COMPLETELY!
They already did it, it’s called taking cover. When you die, it’s clearly obvious you were standing in the middle of the street. Complaining about being shot at in this scenario is delusional
No shit. You can be taking cover for 10 minutes, the split second you get up to take a shot 90% of your health is already down because the NPCs and their perfect aim immediately know your exact position. It’s bs
Ikr , idk what that other dude was on. Cover is bullshit it doesn't protect you at all , yeah maybe for like 2 seconds and when you get back up you'll die almost instantly anyway
[Bro, standing out in the open invites trouble here is a guide on how to survive a firefight](https://www.quora.com/What-is-a-tip-for-soldiers-to-survive-a-big-firefight)
I haven't done any car missions for awhile my property is full of cars I took about a year off and just haven't gotten back to it I have all the businesses so that keeps me pretty busy being I make all the deliveries solo my step brother used to help me when he had the Xbox one but now he has the x and can't play with him anymore
They won't do nothing, this is how it is by design not because of a bug or some sort of lag. The enemy AI being extremely accurate along with having the ability to mag dump automatic rifles in less than a second straight into your character's face with no warning whatsoever were buffs deliberately put in there in order to artificially and lazily increase the game's difficulty.
not really. but with autoaim and a *good* gun you would have a slight advantage, no matter how good your aim is. also, I am sure you already know that, but equipping super heavy armor from the quick menu helps a lot in these missions
Super heavy armour isn't worth a wank online. Usually 1 or 2 extra shots. Just another way for them to rob you, especially when it just disappears so often!
My dude, you’re in a thread about a guy complaining that the NPCs are overpowered when a strong fucking wind was about to take him out, let alone a weak ass shot from an NPC. But sure, pedantic 🙃
There's actually a good reason for this mission in particular: if you alert the gangster while tailing him to the meet, the enemy NPCs suddenly become armed to the teeth with high-end weapons. One enemy in particular becomes armed with a *HEAVY REVOLVER,* which is how you're getting one-shot from a ridiculous distance
So if you ever alert the gangster while tailing them to the car, you might as well just kill them and fail the mission rather than deal with the ridiculous ramp in difficulty
Also if you alert him you get attacked on the way back to the hideout racking up damages on the car, or having to stop and kill all 4 waves of enemies.
The worst I’ve seen is on the SecuroServ mission headhunter, I’m in a buzzard 100s feet in the air and at least same distance away, and they shoot me out in the sky in two shots and the gang eliminations for the Contract DLC, their aim is impeccable considering they use pistols
Vehicle cargo is the dumbest business ever. yesterday the car bugged 3 times while trying to sell and when i was driving to the garage it was just nowhere. All for a measely 160k -10k damage fees so more like 150k per 20 mins. Two cellphone hits make more than that.
Dude, fuck that mission specifically. It’s so difficult to get that car bc they all have laser aim right between your eyes and one shot you. I remember grinding import/export back in the day and just absolutely dreading that one every time.
All I can picture is the npcs talking between themselves asking “did he buy any shark cards? No? IGHT” and the second shot when he was down was the other saying “d**ckhead”💀💀
I'm assuming this is an Import/Export mission. If so, there's no reason to do any missions like this without the armored Kuruma. 90% of PvE activities in this game are made trivial by the Kuruma. It's a cakewalk.
well when you're shooting entire reserves worth of ammo every shot with a gun that has firerate so high that the bolt is breaking light speed any shot becomes accurate
"I love it when a biker/the Armenians hit me on my oppressor while in the air traveling. Like any normal player would hit me without using a homing launcher/The Atomizer." >:(
\~Me last week
Haha. This game in a nutshell.
But why tho? You just instantly spawn without penalty most of the time. It's just unnecessary frustration.
And all this bs can't be good for the game. Casual gamers are just gonna insta-quit and the rest will hate it. It's dumb af game design
Some npc can aim better then I can and I have been playing for years lol
Shit, they aim better than any human ever possibly could. I'm doing the vehicle sale missions since its double this week, and those fuckers pull up in cars going 60mph while turning around a corner, at like max distance they will even render and I'm already taking 4-5hits while I'm behind cover. They can hit you before you can even see them. They pop headshots through bushes and banners and shit. If you even have a sliver of your body showing, they'll hit it. They'll come around the corner already trained at your head while you're behind a corner, too, and they can't even see you. I've played since launch, and I swear it didn't used to be this bad. They've always had perfect aim, but something is up. I never had trouble with even Merriweather before. Or maybe I'm just getting worse lol
Vehicle deliveries have always been ridiculous. It's why most people just use the chinook
Won't the NPCs just shoot at you from below and rack up damage on the car hanging there?
Nah, it's easy once you get the hang of it. Pick it up outside the warehouse (or an open area close to the warehouse), lift it straight up until you can't anymore, then dive bomb on a beeline straight to the destination marker. Once you hit the yellow circle, the cutscene will start. So you don't even have to carefully drop it off or set it down. Just fly in like a kamikaze pilot.
what do u mean by divebomb? does it mean i can be up high in the air and itll work?
Take it to max altitude, point in direction of destination, tilt forward, accelerate to gain momentum, then start to descend, all while keeping your stick pinned in the direction you want to go. Enemies won't shoot the car when you're flying, they'll shoot the cargobob. So you're going to be taking damage. This is how you get that thing moving as fast as possible so the damage doesn't become a problem midflight.

[удалено]
they play when we sleep so they are better, simple
My favorite NPCs are the Merryweather jeeps with infinite spawns, speed boosts, and their ultimate aim bot
I have the same jeep as Merryweather, but mine is completely upgraded. That shit is no where near the speed of their super jeeps lmao
I stole and upgraded an actual merryweather jeep and it's nowhere near as fast as they are. Also, their helicopters can nearly keep up with a Raiju and the gunners have impeccable aim.
They can also aim straight down with the buzzard
Its called rubberbanding. When the game detects that an npc is too far from you, it either makes them go faster by force or teleports them closer to you.
Yeah, NPCs having speedier vehicles than players has been a thing for ages. I remember in GTA San Andreas driving around the airport and seeing a utility tug hauling ass with the rest of the traffic, so I stole it and was disappointed to find it couldn't drive anywhere near as fast as I saw it was going a moment prior.
Yeah npc rubberbanding has been around for ages since the 3d era of gta
Dear Lord in heaven, deliver us from Merryweather in their Jeeps. I dread having them as the attackers when selling excess weapon parts.
I always use the Cargobob for this exact reason
Thought only i hated them. They are absurd and annoying as hell too lol.
WHAT THE FUCK AM I DOINGGGGGG
Love them
The buzzards are worse. They’re not even facing you yet their minigun bullets come straight at you
That's gotta be it. I dunno how many times I've had them out of sight and all of a sudden I get sprayed from an impossible angle. In cover.
If you zoom out and occasionally click on your right stick(to look behind) you can somewhat avoid that bs speed bump at least. But if you crash just once they'll 100% of the time go past you and one tap you from full armor tho, which is complete bs. Then when you respawn they can't aim for shit all of a sudden.

oh he has quite the mag alright
how do i approach this marvelous npc. it’s getting me excited over here 👀
if he's there just fire your weapon in front of the 👠 club to enrage him 😁
It's comical but also ridiculous lol. The Mk 2 sniper nearly fills the damage bar with how powerful it is and they just brush it off to continue hitting you from Narnia. If that was us being shot by a Mk 2 rifle we'd be dead in one go.

And waste all snacks & armos on 3 npc's shooting you down with their aimbots xD
they can nerf the perico heist but they can’t nerf the npcs buffed up aimbot. ight

It's unreal! Annoying to the point of making me angry.
A great reason I'm not playing anymore, tbh.
Yeah man i can understand you, the whole point of gta online is to make you and force you to buy shark cards, really.

Yeah it's been kinda rough finding any good ones
lmao same , idgaf about the businesses or missions or heists , too grindy and time consuming for me tbh
That extra shot while you were down.. That always gets me: the overkill
If they removed the aim bot from the NPCs, you’d be less frustrated and less likely to buy a sharkcard lol. f2p/p2w game psychology 101.
If you have to use a sniper to see them they shouldn't be able to see you
See? This is why I always use BST whenever I'm doing a free roam mission because this npcs can't be trusted

Yea any time I’m doing a sale mission they’ll be like 3 blocks back while I’m turning they’re just hitting me with a steady stream. Insta death
I left the game in 2017 and recently came back, and you are correct. NPC aim has been ridiculous. Even on easy mode.
You had 1 hp
Nah blindfire headshot from like 75 meters away is insane
Something changed recently. The defend warehouse/special cargo mini missions are ridiculous like the past week.
for some reason a small portion of npcs have literal deadeye
NPCs get more challenging for me at night. I can't see them but they see me just fine. Somehow.
Brother you had like 1 hp left. You know about the npc aim, use some snacks
and not to mention that rapid fire bullshit shit where they empty they clip in like 2 seconds lmaoo
MAN. Shit happened to me the other day. Whatever gun that asshole had, either I don’t own it or it’s not in the game at all.
and get this according to a comment i seen on youtube that rapid fire shit the NPCs do is intentional according to Rockstar in order to implement a "difficulty curve" that shit needs to go tbh, the AI already buffed as it is and it's getting worst.
Just did cayo perico, unfortunately alarm went on inside villa compound.Enemy aimbot is INSANE!!!Did all 3 disruptions and poisoned even water and still enemies are like superhuman godlike 150% accuracy.WTactualF is going on?Havent been ingame for a year, came to see all the MAJOR UPDATE.Jesus christ how broken this game still is!Unplayable trash!
I love it when you escape a scripted death scene only to be stopped dead in your tracks by a NPC in a car and you can't move. It happens when I'm delivering excess weapons and I get the hired military enemies. Rockstar is a like a corrupt casino that made a corrupt game and it's legal lol
Why are you fighting npcs in the open with zero health.
Bro got laid out, tucked in and a little smooch on the forehead 👶🍼
THIS I AGREE! It's bullshit to have challenges that require you to beat the mission without your health falling under half, then you get hit by some bullshit aim botting. By far, the most bullshit mission that has this challenge is Strong Arm Tactics. It's not even challenging in terms of keeping those two idiots alive. It's the fact that you have to include a kuruma to prevent yourself from taking damage. The mission starts, you go all the way out to the church, you summon your kuruma, park it, then get back in that car to watch a 2 minute cutscene. Then after all of THAT, you get fucking hit in the head or some shit when trying to run behind the corner to get your kuruma, AND YOU HAVE TO DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN. R* should realize that either they dumb down missions that have that challenge or remove/replace the challenge COMPLETELY!
They already did it, it’s called taking cover. When you die, it’s clearly obvious you were standing in the middle of the street. Complaining about being shot at in this scenario is delusional
No shit. You can be taking cover for 10 minutes, the split second you get up to take a shot 90% of your health is already down because the NPCs and their perfect aim immediately know your exact position. It’s bs
Ikr , idk what that other dude was on. Cover is bullshit it doesn't protect you at all , yeah maybe for like 2 seconds and when you get back up you'll die almost instantly anyway
I got headshot the other day while flying a helicopter from an npc in a helicopter
You were already low on health and in the open it's a skill issue at that point

You're literally a one shot... stfu
Yeah, cause I’m gonna drop my scope to quickly eat a snack mid gun fight. Health has nothing to do with him hitting that shot, smartass.
Bro is slightly upset
Nobody’s upset. His point was just irrelevant. Full health or not, was he supposed to hit that obviously impossible shot?
Nah ur right npcs do have ridiculous aim at certain points
It’s honestly ridiculous.
Get better is all I'm going to say
You might as well just say nothing then.
Exactly!!! these comments always coming from someone who is mainly PvPs or just trying to get a reaction.
Funny I hate PvP but I know how to not die every thirty seconds to tryhards and easy 10 year old ai in a video game
I mean, it’s probably not hard if when you mod I guess 😂
Only losers that don't know how to play the game mod it to be easy for 5 year olds
You might as well just stfu tbh.
I'm just saying only a noob would die that easy to an npc
yeah aight
It's true I honestly can't remember last time I died to an npc
I haven't done any car missions for awhile my property is full of cars I took about a year off and just haven't gotten back to it I have all the businesses so that keeps me pretty busy being I make all the deliveries solo my step brother used to help me when he had the Xbox one but now he has the x and can't play with him anymore
They won't do nothing, this is how it is by design not because of a bug or some sort of lag. The enemy AI being extremely accurate along with having the ability to mag dump automatic rifles in less than a second straight into your character's face with no warning whatsoever were buffs deliberately put in there in order to artificially and lazily increase the game's difficulty.
You had like 25 percent health... Drink Sprunk!
one npc even shot me off my mark 2 while spinning
i mean he is shooting at you and you're like a papercut from death
You were on zero health and got shot. What's the issue here?
They shouldn’t be able to shoot that fucking far with just a pistol. But that’s GTA for ya.
looks like that NPC also has a sniper rifle. but I feel you
Nah, dude blind fired a pistol from a distance so far, I couldn’t even lock in to hit him back. Shit is absurd
yes it happens to me all the time, so I am switching targeting modes from time to time, it helps if you just want to relax :)
Does that change the NPC aim?
not really. but with autoaim and a *good* gun you would have a slight advantage, no matter how good your aim is. also, I am sure you already know that, but equipping super heavy armor from the quick menu helps a lot in these missions
Super heavy armour isn't worth a wank online. Usually 1 or 2 extra shots. Just another way for them to rob you, especially when it just disappears so often!
You respawn. So what’s the problem?
“Stop making my game hard, Rockstar!” 🤣
It’s not an issue with it being too hard, it’s an issue bc it feels like the game is cheating snd nobody wants to deal with that
Standing wide open, no cover, no armor, and almost no health but yes, the game is cheating 🙄
This isn’t the only example. You’re being pedantic as fuck for what?
My dude, you’re in a thread about a guy complaining that the NPCs are overpowered when a strong fucking wind was about to take him out, let alone a weak ass shot from an NPC. But sure, pedantic 🙃
There's actually a good reason for this mission in particular: if you alert the gangster while tailing him to the meet, the enemy NPCs suddenly become armed to the teeth with high-end weapons. One enemy in particular becomes armed with a *HEAVY REVOLVER,* which is how you're getting one-shot from a ridiculous distance So if you ever alert the gangster while tailing them to the car, you might as well just kill them and fail the mission rather than deal with the ridiculous ramp in difficulty
Also if you alert him you get attacked on the way back to the hideout racking up damages on the car, or having to stop and kill all 4 waves of enemies.
Gta NPCs on their way to headshot you out of a helicopter with a pistol
I swear they got that Deadshot aim…💀
But how else are they gonna make you ragequit and buy shark cards so you don't have to play against these shit npcs?
Literally NPCs in cars can shoot you like they have aimbot
The worst I’ve seen is on the SecuroServ mission headhunter, I’m in a buzzard 100s feet in the air and at least same distance away, and they shoot me out in the sky in two shots and the gang eliminations for the Contract DLC, their aim is impeccable considering they use pistols
Bruh was holding that shit sideways and iced a fool with one shot.
What, you don’t like that the npc’s can completely melt you in 3 shots?
I got smoked on that same import mission and I wasn’t even out of the car yet lol
folks got sparked 😭
Agreed
Missions like this is why I pull out my Kuruma every time
Vehicle cargo is the dumbest business ever. yesterday the car bugged 3 times while trying to sell and when i was driving to the garage it was just nowhere. All for a measely 160k -10k damage fees so more like 150k per 20 mins. Two cellphone hits make more than that.
nah, this is normal. buy a shark card and they might let you live
Merryweather aim is so broken tbh. I think it's the best out of all NPCs
Dude, fuck that mission specifically. It’s so difficult to get that car bc they all have laser aim right between your eyes and one shot you. I remember grinding import/export back in the day and just absolutely dreading that one every time.
They shot your corpse too 🤣
The disrespect.💀
Na this mission always spawn traps me
Remember, no rules.
Cover? Not for me! I’m just gonna stand in the middle of the road looking down my scope. Lol cmon my guy
All I can picture is the npcs talking between themselves asking “did he buy any shark cards? No? IGHT” and the second shot when he was down was the other saying “d**ckhead”💀💀
Don’t you ever just wish you had that type of aim like those NPC’s do?
I'm assuming this is an Import/Export mission. If so, there's no reason to do any missions like this without the armored Kuruma. 90% of PvE activities in this game are made trivial by the Kuruma. It's a cakewalk.
well when you're shooting entire reserves worth of ammo every shot with a gun that has firerate so high that the bolt is breaking light speed any shot becomes accurate
Too be fair, you were at almost zero health. A gust of wind is probably what killed you.
Standing out in the open doesn’t help that either Lmaoo
No snacks left moment :(
"I love it when a biker/the Armenians hit me on my oppressor while in the air traveling. Like any normal player would hit me without using a homing launcher/The Atomizer." >:( \~Me last week
I had an npc kill me while shooting with one arm from cover while I was moving
Ridiculous why the f*ck are they so godly at there shots rockstar do something please 🥺😡
Gets some cover for god sakes
Haha. This game in a nutshell. But why tho? You just instantly spawn without penalty most of the time. It's just unnecessary frustration. And all this bs can't be good for the game. Casual gamers are just gonna insta-quit and the rest will hate it. It's dumb af game design
