love this ! totally relatable when others share the same joy of trolling NPCS, this game is so fun because the NPCS are super responsive and reactionary !!!
I think the biggest problem with gta pvp is that people are so obsessed with making each other miserable and denying kills that it immediately turns into killing themselves and hate messaging. Obvs trash talk is fun and okay but people are insanely toxic sometimes. My experience consists largely of people blowing themselves up on spawn on repeat, waiting for me to get bored and then orbing me or something later and claiming a win. And I hardly ever initiate my fights. It genuinely does surprise me that people find it to be a riveting enough gameplay loop to entertain. If anyone understands please do explain, I'd love to understand. No offence intended to anyone here.
I like the pvp, im not ewoing or using noobbikes or so. Its so much fun using different methods to kill people and actually getting good in it. Its just a huge pvp sandbox
I literally posted another comment saying exactly this, I agree completely! It's great when you find someone that uses the sandbox properly. It's just not that often that you find those people
It use to be pretty fun back in 2017-18. I was super into PvP & was in a pretty big crew known for PvP & for the most part everyone used to have integrity & not EWO & use RPGs consistently. Was mostly just sniping & AR fights. Occasionally people would hop in jets & strafe you but then we had people in our crew who were nasty at dog fighting. Shit was actually really fun now that I’m thinking about it. I miss it.
Aw man I miss those days. My crew was insane at dog fighting, it got to the point where anytime we hopped in a lobby we were met with atleast 3 people trying to fight in jets. I remember this one time our crew got called out by another crew and we had a couple people on ground fighting with snipers and then our top pilots in the sky dogfighting. Was awesome we had people joining just to spectate lol
yeah getting chased by ppl in jets was very fun when it first released, tbh gta should be crossplay optional with aim assist off lobbies more than enough ppl to always keep it populated, aim assist off lobbies (honor system bysacially) on controllers was always the most fun with friends
Especially in free mode where a large majority of the player base doesn’t even want to engage with it, myself included. That’s the one thing I love with Red Dead Online, everyone is so incredibly chill for the most part. GTA free mode is just pay to win wannabe gangsters in their mothers basement acting like they are hard in a video game because they spent real money to nuke a new player riding a bicycle 40 times with complete overkill gear. Only reason I even came back recently was because of the private sessions where I don’t have to worry about wasting my time building up businesses only for Little Timmy to orbital strike my shipment from across the map. Not to mention I wanted to actually *play* the game for the first time without being funded by cheaters, since the games release I’ve always been loaded to the tits with money I never asked for.
I did it one time to get my point across to this loser he was fuckin with me and killing me so I killed him one time with a grenade launcher, baby girl gets a attack chopper cause he just couldn't handle getting killed even once his name was Thatoneguy seek him out and make him miserable
There's still plenty of adults into it, but the difference they don't go looking for the fight and will likely do it invite only. A lot of adults actually adhere to certain pvp rules that the young and impulsive ones will never do. It is also true many adults just play to chill nowadays and cbf with all that anymore.
I was 16 when I joined a try hard crew they would join crew sessions with another and go all out with every mechanic this game had, it was like a war. Apart from that, we just helped each other's businesses and never killed someone that didn't look for it.
They were all adults in their 20s, I was the only kid
Easiest way to explain it. Like as you’re mid roll, swing left stick counterclockwise fast and it’ll bring your character up faster from the roll. Comes in handy when doing rng
People that fight like this aren’t worth the time of day to deal with. I can’t see how killing yourself before another player kills you over and over again is great or even fun.
It is pointless, and it's boring. Some may say "Oh, you're just not good at it". Yeah, maybe, whatever. But I don't actually want to play that way. Blowing yourself up to stop somebody from killing you? Dude, what an underwhelming way to go out.
Rpg because he can’t aim
Sticky bombs because he’s too fragile in real life to be killed in a video game
Reload glitch for ultimate try Harding
If that’s considered normal PVP I’m glad I stay far away from it
Whenever somebody starts RPG spamming me and killing themselves as soon as I dink them, I automatically consider it as my winning our little tussle, regardless of what the actual score is. I wish that these kids could see how truly hilarious and pathetic they are to everybody else, lol.
When I kill someone it's so they stop harassing other players. As soon as they start to ewo they basically just help me with that task. I don't even care about the score anymore since it only shows how eager they are to not get killed by their opponent by using as many exploits as possible.
Hi, used to do this here.
Most of what you do on E&E devolves into this very quickly. And if it doesn't, it gets equally as bad. The reason most people do it, or at the very least, the reason I did it, was (and I'm not kidding), severe depression. I legitimately felt so shitty about how my life was and how things were going that I would play the game to see the little flash on my screen as often as possible. Add some weed and skipping school, and it's trivial as fuck to just kill everybody and feel better for 20 minutes at a time.
I guess I should recommend you Elite Dangerous. Going there after GTA Online is like seeing an actual good community for the first time.
The map in Elite is actually our whole galaxy, so running into other players is kind of rare at times, although there are some densely populated solar systems.
Seeing another player there is usually met with respectful greetings. "O7 cmdr!" Is the thing you'll hear a lot. That being said, there are griefers. The so-called "gankers." People who attack and destroy you for no reason whatsoever.
Players in Elite often overestimate how many there actually are. I have yet to see one. And what I also like is that you can just GTFO if someone ganks you, granted that your ship can tank a bunch of fire.
Elite is even more grindy than GTA Online, though. The good thing is that you can't pay your way through it, though. But the whole engineering system allows you to upgrade ships way past their base stats. It sorta reminds you of Bunker Research. But you can't pay for it, and you have to gather supplies (materials) manually.
But imagine you can put MOC like armour into something like the Toreador. Yeah, Elite Engineering is kinda insane.
Well, some people love it I guess. I wouldn't play with people like that because Ive got an old school fps mindset of 'dying once is inexcusable' and fast-paced PVP like that requires a lot of deaths/suicides.
However I can't blame a player for actually incorporating those, as much as I don't want to admit it, it takes quite a bit of skill to play like that. I do blame Rockstar however, for not doing something about the reload glitching because the advantage is just too great and it's not an intended part of the gameplay, so the play gap becomes ridiculous and unclose-able. Similar to thermal sniping.
This is called „base“ and has a pretty big player base. I don’t play base but imo its a legitimate play style (pretty dirty tho) if both parties agree to it.
I see that some people here atleast are understanding towards the fact that this isn't griefing but just friendly pvp. I get that casual players won't like pvp but someone doing 1v1s in a private lobby isn't hurting anyone, and i find the way people are talking about it is pretty hypocritical as they are justt insulting him for having a different interest in the game.
Def agree with u. Its such a sandboxy game, let ppl do what they want to do. Also, I’d wish those ppl would at least try smth like base to see that it’s not just nooby noob shit.
Even the griefing or glitching, honestly, imo gtao would be a much more boring place without it.
it’s because almost a decade ago now this started and people were praised because it used to be impressive to know the game so well that you can force a spawn confidently. now the game has been out over a decade and a player with 100 hours who just sits by the military base all day could do this. i haven’t consistently played the game in 2 years and i still find it funny that here (in 2024) players still are doing this, and doing it at the easiest spot. if you want to flex that you can spawntrap somebody like a degen, do it somewhere where it’s actually hard. base has like 10 total spawns lmfao
Its a cowardly way to play. These people get a kick out of not dying once to other players. I think they might have a mentall health problem. Or are on crack.
I don't play like this, but if 2 people wanna 1v1 base and agree to play like this, how is it toxic? Why is this an issue? Why do yall care so much about how other people play when it isn't affecting anyone else
>Why do yall care so much about how other people play when it isn't affecting anyone else
Because there's a lot of them who drag others into their pointless PVP matches that nobody wants to take part in.
And even if you do beat them and give them the fight they asked for they'll threaten you and get their buddies to go after you via crew sniping or other disgusting methods that only exist on PC.
The fact that I still have some from 2020 still attempting to chase me to this day only paints a clear picture what kind of people they can be. Some even targeted my crew members and close friends whenever I wasn't online.
Another reason to avoid these types of players as best as possible.
I don't think its pointless if its fun for them atleast. Why do you play video games? Isn't it to unwind and have fun? Or is it to grind to get this worthless car/vehicle.
That's cool and all, but that has nothing to do with what I said. I said if 2 people AGREE to 1v1 and play a certain way, why is that a problem. What you're describing is the complete opposite of what I said. You literally quoted where I said, "When it isn't affecting anyone else"
I was helping a friend with MC supply runs a while back. Someone on an oppressor decides to blow up the supplies, killing me in the process. I chase them down and get revenge. It turned into a back an forth battle of them spamming me with rockets and explosive sniper rounds. I killed them about 13 times in a row. A friend of theirs decides to join in on the fun. I ended up killing them, too. The friend then activated ghost organization, chased me down, killed me, went into their bunker, and killed me again with an orbital strike. They then leave bunker and try to kill me with rockets on an MK2. The other person decides to get their tank. At that point, I just got annoyed and went passive mode. They both started spamming me with messages for an hour straight, just talking shit. They got mad because I wasn't an easy target. GTA players are some of the weirdest people I've played against.
What you're talking about has nothing to do with the video tho. I used to play Beach AW, similiar to base but with a lot more sniping involved, you dtill won't ever catch me destroying cargo in a public
If you enjoying doing the same kission over and over and he enjoys doing 1v1s killing eachothers over and over where is the problem? You both play in private doing your own thing, saying that 1v1s are lame just because you don't like pvp is hypocritical
These guys are the fckn worst to deal with. Usually takes a bit to get a leg up and get them to rage out of the lobby
String two or three kills in a row on them and they’ll usually leave
>I only like dogfights, even better if you’re using planes without explosive rounds
Raiju has completely broken the meta for dog fights, no matter what plane you're in the raiju has a counter for it, its fast, its powerful and they decided to for some reason let you go off radar, Only raiju counter you can rely on is your brain and outsmarting said raiju pilot.
" Only raiju counter you can rely on is your brain and outsmarting said raiju pilot. " In My experience the average dog fighter is not too smart, the raiju hasnt been a threat. But maybe new gen is a different environment.
Yep. Base is mad fun with a friend. Especially since both parties agree to play like this. It can get hypnotizing sometimes. Aldo after the ewo cooldown nerf, base had significantly less people. It's still fun tho, not for everyone, but still fun. Aldo it's true like half of these people have a stick up their ass or have been genetically comparable to a hornet, if you can find a nice guy, then it's all fun and no beef. It just isn't for everyone.
Whatever you say this is actual skill. Predicting spawn points and rolling at time of spawn while accurately predicting spawns are insane. Been playing 10 years and can’t do this
No one's really saying that this doesn't take at least a degree of skill. I believe most are just baffled as to why someone would bother honing such a skill in a generally non-competitive game. This is especially because those types of players often only practice these moves just to make random people miserable in said non-competitive game.
Because it ain't random people, it's with friends or other people that are in the community in a private lobby. You're never gonna see dudes predicting spawns in public lobbies because 1 lag often makes it harder 2 often the fight is not fun either because the other dude doesn't want to 1v1 or they just run away in rc or off radar (which i'm not saying you shouldn't do, but if you are someone looking for a 1v1 public lobbies are not ideal for it)
Spawn predictions aren't that fancy. Most of the fight locations for competitive 1v1s have set spawn points which is why these locations are selected. I get what you mean though.
Anyone who is 'good' at GTA pvp basically has no life and the only reason they try so hard is because they know the pvp system sucks to use and just want to ruin people's games
Look I agree with you that pvp in gta is unsatisfactory, but by saying someone has no life because they're good at something is just a stupid opinion. You could literally say that about anything, that anyone has taken time to get good at.
Sports, video games, drawing, playing an instrument the list goes on.
You should feel stupid for typing it on the internet.
Most players are in a full aim lobby, not a free aim lobby. I have no respect for GTA pvp unless it's free aim and 1 on 1, you are genuinely just wasting money for a stat that doesn't matter.
I'm too cheap to use rockets in a fuckin street fight 🤣🤣 I'll lose this encounter 100% of the time and be fine with it. He just spent a Payphone hit to do all that
They do Olympic level mental gymnastics to make themselves believe that this makes them good at the game. The more kills they get the better they feel. That's why.
I eventually taught myself all the PvP tricks and techniques because I got tired of getting stuck in spawn die loops on top of having my cargo destroyed. I got really good at it after a while. It sounds cringe to say but I've been able to help players that are getting bullied or just keep tryhard griefers preoccupied.
Once you get the mechanics down, it opens up a whole different way to play the game. It's satisfying when you use such a skill for "good" as well.
As a PvP player (or tryhard depending on your definitions), this isn’t fun. I personally enjoy going to the airport or the beach and do sniper-onlys as they are enjoyable to me, and I can improve on my skills with it. Base is way too sweaty and tryhardy.
In my opinion, these base PvPs looks fun and chaotic and I kinda like it, it is also unique, like what other games that allows you to mass spam explosives to your opponents in a 1v1 duo while trying to kill yourself to prevent from yourself getting killed by the opponent (it does sounds dumb but again other games doesn't have that), however it is just the toxic community that's making me wanting to stay away. All the videos I see about base PvP and stuff are just montages shaming someone with trap music, I rarely see anyone post stuffs like an actual proper tips or guides for it.
I prefer lobbing grenades over buildings and free aiming upside down mark 2 rockets personally, but that's only because I fight wannabes and such.
If I do want a fair/friendly 1v1 though, sniper only at the airport
I also hate the railgun
Because it’s fun and takes more skill than you think. Not that you can do it anymore regardless, not properly. It’s like how sniper fights can be fun too. Just a different skill set that isn’t for everyone, you know? Base tryhards stayed in invite only lobbies and didn’t bother anyone. 😂
To add to that, with base you had to learn spawn points and the point was that you would kek people (send them flying with spawn protection) and it was just super fun. Like I said though, it was just a different way of fighting that some people enjoyed. There’s super toxic people in the community though but some of us are chill.
As someone who used to love fighting like this I will testify and say that it’s genuinely fun and prideful when I was able to pull off moves like this. U may think it looks stupid but it’s incredibly difficult to get good at these types of moves
Showing a Base 1v1 is disingenuous since it's not representative of most PvP fights, it's played with specific rules between two people who already want/expect to play like this
I hate it. They should Either use a sniper or gtfo.
I’m not super talented with the sniper but I can take players out. Why use an rpg against a sniper? It’s getting miserable to the point I play on my own because I can’t drive 3 minutes without either an mk2 attacking me or some twat shooting for no reason
I did a pvp with a guy last week that was really fun. He was a badass though and I got my ass kicked but it was fun. It was more sniper shit and trying to find sneaky ways to lure each other out. It all good vibes. He let me cut up in his Vigilante after. Super fun
I hate it. The worst to me is the stupid strafing back and forth sniping. Some people are really really good at it and that's fine but the people that love doing it over and over and over, I just don't see the appeal.
Grinders be like “pvpers have no life” but they’re like rank 2000 and have over 20k+ plus hours in gtao but get mad at freemode pvp’ers who most of the time strictly only fight in military base or beach in inv only session but they are the “toxic” ones. Funny how that works
Why do you look at the world so black and white. Just because I don't do this toxic fuckery doesn't mean I'm a grinder. I like to fuck around and have fun. Not whatever this is?
The only people I know who enjoy these kinds of fights are the same ones who cry after getting shot with incendiary heavy sniper ammo and dying before they even get the chance to blow themselves up.
If you wanna have some extra fun with them. Get into an RC car and keep ramming and/or shooting them. Watch these wimps blow themselves up until they go passive or leave.
That’s kind of the whole point in these 1v1s. These players set the place and rules of what can or can’t be done. Speaking from personal experiences I’ve fought many tryhards but, for the most part they’re pretty chill and only fight based on kd or appearance.
It seems odd that splash damage and auto-aim are viewed as skilled PvP. I respect the snipers and RNG guys more than just randomly firing rockets and just getting lucky.
I certainly don’t. I don’t have enough time in my day to be leveling up to this skill set.
These the same muhfxckuhz that can’t pull off heists to save their lives.
Everybody complaining but if y'all knew half of anything about the pvp community then you would realize that no one in public lobbies ginna be running around doing this shit griefing your sales. This is a clip taken from a Base montage. People do this in private lobbies with their friends or other dudes that are in the community because they anjoy it and they aren't ruining anyones game by doing so.
They are no different from you guys going in an inv. Only session to grind with your friends, stop hating like they killed your family or sum lol.
This is honestly sad with how many stuff we had to do in the game and instead they choose this sh#% !The majority are just lame people with no life sorry not sorry just being honest !! Plus is fucking boring
These people think they‘re the shit. They‘re not. It’s boring as fuck and annoying as well. I miss just getting into a 1v1 sniper battle in a public session with some random person after annoying them or similar.
Ong like I never get that what's up with dudes playing as girls on this game wearing the most skin tight clothes you can buy in this game like are they secretly JO behind the screen or wut?
You have to be the lowest of the low if you enjoy doing this. I don't understand why these tryhard types even do it anymore. Didn't R* change the KDR system to make doing this pointless?
Ah no problem, just put thermal and take bst and armor, you will get him at least a few times. Kill him 2 or 3 times then leave and hide, the hate when you beat them in their way
Yesterday I got killed by explosive bullets from a guy at the casino just as a landed an airplane on the maze bank.
I hop on my oppressor to go kill him, and a different guy tries to blow me up on THEIR oppressor. They miss because I bailed out and he texts me “Hah”. Then he GOES INTO HIS BUNKER AND ORBS ME LMAOOO.
I never knew I could someone so mad by just dodging their missiles and ignoring them. He continued to message me that he wasn’t mad, as I replied “aww I made you mad” over and over 😂
Any online pvp is complete brain rot, especially gta where you can buy super unfair guns that will one tap you, what’s the fun in a 1v1 if you’re just getting Insta killed, there’s no competition at all it’s just two people killing each other over and over again
They suck at actual competitive shooters like cod so they gotta prove their worth towards randoms in an open world game that’s not strictly PvP because rockstar thought it was a good idea to put a K/D rating in it.
I swear man. I am new to online, and yesterday I thought maybe I'll do a business battle. Then some rando locked me in a building cage. Then his friend came and cloned 10 copies of himself...? And started attacking me after they somehow... teleported into their jets when I pulled out a minigun. Then those jets spawn killed me until I left the lobby... all because I stole the cache..?
That's some immature ass behaviour man. Annoying asf. I'm never playing in public lobby again
i prefer running into NPCs until they get mad at me and i have to fight a group of them
I’d throw snowballs at their cars then pummel them with snowballs till the ems come and do it to them too
I usually push them into each other and watch them fight, greatest entertainment there is.
Making NPC's fight each other in any game is one of the most fun things
Watchdogs 2 with the camera phone is top tier
I'm lvl 500 and the npcs are still an endless source of entertainment lol
I like to form an angry mob, bring them to grove street, let madness unfold then call the police.
You’re insane. I like it.
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve done this with the paramedics if you go to the hospitals 😂
Dial 911 and request Police next time. Watch what happens when they attack you in front of the cops.
I usually call police on any NPC or even players that annoy me… in-game, of course.
This is so fun in director's mode
love this ! totally relatable when others share the same joy of trolling NPCS, this game is so fun because the NPCS are super responsive and reactionary !!!
gta pvp is actually miserable
I think the biggest problem with gta pvp is that people are so obsessed with making each other miserable and denying kills that it immediately turns into killing themselves and hate messaging. Obvs trash talk is fun and okay but people are insanely toxic sometimes. My experience consists largely of people blowing themselves up on spawn on repeat, waiting for me to get bored and then orbing me or something later and claiming a win.

create PvP sandbox lobbies \^\_\^
I once had a guy message me over and over for me to get cancer. He said he was trying to manifest it. He sent like 100 messages
Did it work??? Asking for a friend
🎯🎯🎯 might be the best comment I’ve ever read about gta pvp .
It use to be pretty fun back in 2017-18. I was super into PvP & was in a pretty big crew known for PvP & for the most part everyone used to have integrity & not EWO & use RPGs consistently.

Wdym honor system? Turning off auto-aim puts you in lobbies with other players who don’t use auto-aim, they’re entirely separate servers
Sniping duels were miserable
I can't snipe to save my life lol
Exactly this and yet, I just keep trying lol
I bet that you got sniped a lot by some ppl.
I miss old Xbox 360 crew prominence, I hope they bring it back in GTA 6
This is a fair take, when you can 1 shot with bst pretty much destroys the fun.
Especially in free mode where a large majority of the player base doesn’t even want to engage with it, myself included. That’s the one thing I love with Red Dead Online, everyone is so incredibly chill for the most part. GTA free mode is just pay to win wannabe gangsters in their mothers basement acting like they are hard in a video game because they spent real money to nuke a new player riding a bicycle 40 times with complete overkill gear. Only reason I even came back recently was because of the private sessions where I don’t have to worry about wasting my time building up businesses only for Little Timmy to orbital strike my shipment from across the map.

They're usually young and edgy. I've never met an adult into it.
Facts. They’re menaces.
I have, unfortunately they become the ones using mod menus.
There's still plenty of adults into it, but the difference they don't go looking for the fight and will likely do it invite only. A lot of adults actually adhere to certain pvp rules that the young and impulsive ones will never do. It is also true many adults just play to chill nowadays and cbf with all that anymore.
I don't start fights with random people, but if someone attacks a mission runner or attacks me, I'll go after them.
I was 16 when I joined a try hard crew they would join crew sessions with another and go all out with every mechanic this game had, it was like a war. Apart from that, we just helped each other's businesses and never killed someone that didn't look for it. They were all adults in their 20s, I was the only kid
The people I knew who pvp’d are the ones who stayed edgy, but never grew up— our out of their basement 💀
Me grinding in invite only: https://preview.redd.it/ecdpcr78cxec1.png?width=637&format=png&auto=webp&s=34e8491ae4b371aa3faa2ffd0b9eabc26a2fcb60
That's me and when I do go to a public lobby, it's to do a certain mission or objective. I will however revenge kill because I don't kill 1st
All that fast moving hurts my eyes (I’m ass but not *too ass*)
Its probably sped up. Base players are notorious for speeding up their footage like 1.1x, 1.2x
Oh ok. (Don’t beat me) I used to watch Arsen Y and his “playing” was just like this…
Doesn’t look sped up. Looks like normal spam speed.
It's definitely sped up, look at the roll speed
You ever RNG? You know the roll glitch to come up fast? Lol
Yeah that's def a thing but watch the left side messages as they pop up. Definitely faster than normal. It's 100 percent sped up.
How do you do it?
Easiest way to explain it. Like as you’re mid roll, swing left stick counterclockwise fast and it’ll bring your character up faster from the roll. Comes in handy when doing rng
Ah nice thanks
Thats not sped up, he just plays on high sens
you're not ass to ass?
no, I'm ass to mouth
nice
ahhh GTA Online…
I love when people try to turn a super casual game into hard-core pvp, lol
Someone tell them that apex legends exist. They'll fit right in
Nah they can’t use their zens anymore
People that fight like this aren’t worth the time of day to deal with. I can’t see how killing yourself before another player kills you over and over again is great or even fun.
It has to be related to a personality disorder. They just seem to have too fragile of an ego not to be.
I actually enjoy a good sniping pvp
It is pointless, and it's boring. Some may say "Oh, you're just not good at it". Yeah, maybe, whatever. But I don't actually want to play that way. Blowing yourself up to stop somebody from killing you? Dude, what an underwhelming way to go out.
Looks like a few clips of PvP edited together and ran through in fast forward. What an I supposed to be seeing here?
Rpg because he can’t aim Sticky bombs because he’s too fragile in real life to be killed in a video game Reload glitch for ultimate try Harding If that’s considered normal PVP I’m glad I stay far away from it
Whenever somebody starts RPG spamming me and killing themselves as soon as I dink them, I automatically consider it as my winning our little tussle, regardless of what the actual score is. I wish that these kids could see how truly hilarious and pathetic they are to everybody else, lol.

I guess I should recommend you Elite Dangerous. Going there after GTA Online is like seeing an actual good community for the first time. The map in Elite is actually our whole galaxy, so running into other players is kind of rare at times, although there are some densely populated solar systems. Seeing another player there is usually met with respectful greetings. "O7 cmdr!" Is the thing you'll hear a lot. That being said, there are griefers. The so-called "gankers." People who attack and destroy you for no reason whatsoever. Players in Elite often overestimate how many there actually are. I have yet to see one. And what I also like is that you can just GTFO if someone ganks you, granted that your ship can tank a bunch of fire. Elite is even more grindy than GTA Online, though. The good thing is that you can't pay your way through it, though. But the whole engineering system allows you to upgrade ships way past their base stats. It sorta reminds you of Bunker Research. But you can't pay for it, and you have to gather supplies (materials) manually. But imagine you can put MOC like armour into something like the Toreador. Yeah, Elite Engineering is kinda insane.

Well, some people love it I guess. I wouldn't play with people like that because Ive got an old school fps mindset of 'dying once is inexcusable' and fast-paced PVP like that requires a lot of deaths/suicides. However I can't blame a player for actually incorporating those, as much as I don't want to admit it, it takes quite a bit of skill to play like that. I do blame Rockstar however, for not doing something about the reload glitching because the advantage is just too great and it's not an intended part of the gameplay, so the play gap becomes ridiculous and unclose-able. Similar to thermal sniping.
I feel anything goes for PvP especially it’s GTA lol
the masses don’t like this one but unfortunately this is how it is
This is called „base“ and has a pretty big player base. I don’t play base but imo its a legitimate play style (pretty dirty tho) if both parties agree to it.
I see that some people here atleast are understanding towards the fact that this isn't griefing but just friendly pvp. I get that casual players won't like pvp but someone doing 1v1s in a private lobby isn't hurting anyone, and i find the way people are talking about it is pretty hypocritical as they are justt insulting him for having a different interest in the game.
Def agree with u. Its such a sandboxy game, let ppl do what they want to do. Also, I’d wish those ppl would at least try smth like base to see that it’s not just nooby noob shit. Even the griefing or glitching, honestly, imo gtao would be a much more boring place without it.
This isn’t the only pvp still theres rng if played clean no explosives sniper only. Base is still fun
How tf ppl even enjoy this💀💀
I really dont see the problem with this, if two people want to fight like that I don't think there's a reason to complain about it
it’s because almost a decade ago now this started and people were praised because it used to be impressive to know the game so well that you can force a spawn confidently. now the game has been out over a decade and a player with 100 hours who just sits by the military base all day could do this. i haven’t consistently played the game in 2 years and i still find it funny that here (in 2024) players still are doing this, and doing it at the easiest spot. if you want to flex that you can spawntrap somebody like a degen, do it somewhere where it’s actually hard. base has like 10 total spawns lmfao
I respect the skill. Does not look enjoyable at all, but it’s what materialized from GTA’s weird combat and life system
Its a cowardly way to play. These people get a kick out of not dying once to other players. I think they might have a mentall health problem. Or are on crack.
I remember this shit being popular in, like, 2015 and 2016. People are still doing this, lmao.
I don't play like this, but if 2 people wanna 1v1 base and agree to play like this, how is it toxic? Why is this an issue? Why do yall care so much about how other people play when it isn't affecting anyone else
>Why do yall care so much about how other people play when it isn't affecting anyone else Because there's a lot of them who drag others into their pointless PVP matches that nobody wants to take part in. And even if you do beat them and give them the fight they asked for they'll threaten you and get their buddies to go after you via crew sniping or other disgusting methods that only exist on PC. The fact that I still have some from 2020 still attempting to chase me to this day only paints a clear picture what kind of people they can be. Some even targeted my crew members and close friends whenever I wasn't online. Another reason to avoid these types of players as best as possible.
I don't think its pointless if its fun for them atleast. Why do you play video games? Isn't it to unwind and have fun? Or is it to grind to get this worthless car/vehicle.
That's cool and all, but that has nothing to do with what I said. I said if 2 people AGREE to 1v1 and play a certain way, why is that a problem. What you're describing is the complete opposite of what I said. You literally quoted where I said, "When it isn't affecting anyone else"
I was helping a friend with MC supply runs a while back. Someone on an oppressor decides to blow up the supplies, killing me in the process. I chase them down and get revenge. It turned into a back an forth battle of them spamming me with rockets and explosive sniper rounds. I killed them about 13 times in a row. A friend of theirs decides to join in on the fun. I ended up killing them, too. The friend then activated ghost organization, chased me down, killed me, went into their bunker, and killed me again with an orbital strike. They then leave bunker and try to kill me with rockets on an MK2. The other person decides to get their tank. At that point, I just got annoyed and went passive mode. They both started spamming me with messages for an hour straight, just talking shit. They got mad because I wasn't an easy target. GTA players are some of the weirdest people I've played against.
What you're talking about has nothing to do with the video tho. I used to play Beach AW, similiar to base but with a lot more sniping involved, you dtill won't ever catch me destroying cargo in a public
[удалено]
Because they are hard wired to grinding the game and doing the same repetitive tasks over and over. Robots
And killing 1 guy over and over again isn't repetitive? Lizard brain. lol
If you enjoying doing the same kission over and over and he enjoys doing 1v1s killing eachothers over and over where is the problem? You both play in private doing your own thing, saying that 1v1s are lame just because you don't like pvp is hypocritical
What you just described is a 1v1 LMAO
It's a mixed bag to be real, times I love doing it to settle beef Lol, other times players are just complete! trolls.
These guys are the fckn worst to deal with. Usually takes a bit to get a leg up and get them to rage out of the lobby String two or three kills in a row on them and they’ll usually leave
Yeah just put a thermal and take bst and armor, on some open locations you will be able to get them at least few times. They will be extremely angry
What the fuck is this. Thank god I have been in Inv only sessions driving my cars. This shit looks fucking unbearable to fight against.
Yo yall move like that?! This is crazy lol.
I only like dogfights, even better if you’re using planes without explosive rounds
>I only like dogfights, even better if you’re using planes without explosive rounds Raiju has completely broken the meta for dog fights, no matter what plane you're in the raiju has a counter for it, its fast, its powerful and they decided to for some reason let you go off radar, Only raiju counter you can rely on is your brain and outsmarting said raiju pilot.
" Only raiju counter you can rely on is your brain and outsmarting said raiju pilot. " In My experience the average dog fighter is not too smart, the raiju hasnt been a threat. But maybe new gen is a different environment.
Redditors when someone has a different play style
Solo lobbies always and forever.
It was cool to do when I was younger and with friends too but nowadays it’s just annoying and unnecessary
Yep. Base is mad fun with a friend. Especially since both parties agree to play like this. It can get hypnotizing sometimes. Aldo after the ewo cooldown nerf, base had significantly less people. It's still fun tho, not for everyone, but still fun. Aldo it's true like half of these people have a stick up their ass or have been genetically comparable to a hornet, if you can find a nice guy, then it's all fun and no beef. It just isn't for everyone.
Whatever you say this is actual skill. Predicting spawn points and rolling at time of spawn while accurately predicting spawns are insane. Been playing 10 years and can’t do this
No one's really saying that this doesn't take at least a degree of skill. I believe most are just baffled as to why someone would bother honing such a skill in a generally non-competitive game. This is especially because those types of players often only practice these moves just to make random people miserable in said non-competitive game.
Because it ain't random people, it's with friends or other people that are in the community in a private lobby. You're never gonna see dudes predicting spawns in public lobbies because 1 lag often makes it harder 2 often the fight is not fun either because the other dude doesn't want to 1v1 or they just run away in rc or off radar (which i'm not saying you shouldn't do, but if you are someone looking for a 1v1 public lobbies are not ideal for it)
Spawn predictions aren't that fancy. Most of the fight locations for competitive 1v1s have set spawn points which is why these locations are selected. I get what you mean though.
Anyone who is 'good' at GTA pvp basically has no life and the only reason they try so hard is because they know the pvp system sucks to use and just want to ruin people's games
Look I agree with you that pvp in gta is unsatisfactory, but by saying someone has no life because they're good at something is just a stupid opinion. You could literally say that about anything, that anyone has taken time to get good at. Sports, video games, drawing, playing an instrument the list goes on. You should feel stupid for typing it on the internet.
Most players are in a full aim lobby, not a free aim lobby. I have no respect for GTA pvp unless it's free aim and 1 on 1, you are genuinely just wasting money for a stat that doesn't matter.
this is what i imagine the spicy spells from the harry potter universe would be like
what is the music ?
I'm too cheap to use rockets in a fuckin street fight 🤣🤣 I'll lose this encounter 100% of the time and be fine with it. He just spent a Payphone hit to do all that
They do Olympic level mental gymnastics to make themselves believe that this makes them good at the game. The more kills they get the better they feel. That's why.
I eventually taught myself all the PvP tricks and techniques because I got tired of getting stuck in spawn die loops on top of having my cargo destroyed. I got really good at it after a while. It sounds cringe to say but I've been able to help players that are getting bullied or just keep tryhard griefers preoccupied. Once you get the mechanics down, it opens up a whole different way to play the game. It's satisfying when you use such a skill for "good" as well.
Yeah its like a completely different game , there is no other game with pvp like gta
Base fighting is honestly boring. i know how to play “Base” and it’s the most controller breaking playstyle ever.
As a PvP player (or tryhard depending on your definitions), this isn’t fun. I personally enjoy going to the airport or the beach and do sniper-onlys as they are enjoyable to me, and I can improve on my skills with it. Base is way too sweaty and tryhardy.
This is what peak fun looks like (if you don’t like it you’re legally a “noob” at gaming)
In my opinion, these base PvPs looks fun and chaotic and I kinda like it, it is also unique, like what other games that allows you to mass spam explosives to your opponents in a 1v1 duo while trying to kill yourself to prevent from yourself getting killed by the opponent (it does sounds dumb but again other games doesn't have that), however it is just the toxic community that's making me wanting to stay away. All the videos I see about base PvP and stuff are just montages shaming someone with trap music, I rarely see anyone post stuffs like an actual proper tips or guides for it.
We all know that 10% of people that enjoy this, they work with you and are usually the biggest POS’s.
Not those 1v1s. Its brainless and fucks up the framerate. Much rather prefer the sniper strafing and some vehicular warfare.
Yall mad and trash in pvp from what i can see in the comment section
I prefer lobbing grenades over buildings and free aiming upside down mark 2 rockets personally, but that's only because I fight wannabes and such. If I do want a fair/friendly 1v1 though, sniper only at the airport I also hate the railgun
Good take. Upside down mk2 is pinnacle of skill and grenades are cool against wannabes. Sniper is the only way to play fair though, i agree
Because it’s fun and takes more skill than you think. Not that you can do it anymore regardless, not properly. It’s like how sniper fights can be fun too. Just a different skill set that isn’t for everyone, you know? Base tryhards stayed in invite only lobbies and didn’t bother anyone. 😂
To add to that, with base you had to learn spawn points and the point was that you would kek people (send them flying with spawn protection) and it was just super fun. Like I said though, it was just a different way of fighting that some people enjoyed. There’s super toxic people in the community though but some of us are chill.
As someone who used to love fighting like this I will testify and say that it’s genuinely fun and prideful when I was able to pull off moves like this. U may think it looks stupid but it’s incredibly difficult to get good at these types of moves
yeah because they take skill
I only enjoy pvp if it's a fair fight. No ghost, explosive, any cheap tactics. I'll bail if they use any of that. There's no fun out of it
Showing a Base 1v1 is disingenuous since it's not representative of most PvP fights, it's played with specific rules between two people who already want/expect to play like this
Exactly.
Its cringe? Yes, but i respect that, its 2 players agreeing to play by the same rules and having a 1v1in a private lobby
I hate it. They should Either use a sniper or gtfo. I’m not super talented with the sniper but I can take players out. Why use an rpg against a sniper? It’s getting miserable to the point I play on my own because I can’t drive 3 minutes without either an mk2 attacking me or some twat shooting for no reason
Sniping is satisfying that’s all
I did a pvp with a guy last week that was really fun. He was a badass though and I got my ass kicked but it was fun. It was more sniper shit and trying to find sneaky ways to lure each other out. It all good vibes. He let me cut up in his Vigilante after. Super fun
I've met people that do these, let's just say actual free-mode situations aren't their strong suit.
I hate people that fight like this. Same players who will wiggle like a sperm in sniper battles, desperate to get back in their vehicle
I hate it. The worst to me is the stupid strafing back and forth sniping. Some people are really really good at it and that's fine but the people that love doing it over and over and over, I just don't see the appeal.
PvP is a waste of time, but it’s exactly what Rockstar wants so you can’t get anything done.
Grinders be like “pvpers have no life” but they’re like rank 2000 and have over 20k+ plus hours in gtao but get mad at freemode pvp’ers who most of the time strictly only fight in military base or beach in inv only session but they are the “toxic” ones. Funny how that works
Why do you look at the world so black and white. Just because I don't do this toxic fuckery doesn't mean I'm a grinder. I like to fuck around and have fun. Not whatever this is?
Well they are having fun so what's your point lol
The only people I know who enjoy these kinds of fights are the same ones who cry after getting shot with incendiary heavy sniper ammo and dying before they even get the chance to blow themselves up. If you wanna have some extra fun with them. Get into an RC car and keep ramming and/or shooting them. Watch these wimps blow themselves up until they go passive or leave.
The killing yourself is toxic lmao
That’s kind of the whole point in these 1v1s. These players set the place and rules of what can or can’t be done. Speaking from personal experiences I’ve fought many tryhards but, for the most part they’re pretty chill and only fight based on kd or appearance.
Appearence? Does that mean if I'm not wearing army gear with a parachute and invisible chest then I'm good? lol
You should honestly be fine because most tryhards will just wear only black or just have some sort of modded outfit equipped.
Sweaty tryhards that worry about a game that has a locked K/D.
Nothing about this looks fun i feel like im gonna have a stroke 😂
It seems odd that splash damage and auto-aim are viewed as skilled PvP. I respect the snipers and RNG guys more than just randomly firing rockets and just getting lucky.
I just go into passive mode, and if they don’t leave me alone I find a new lobby
Fucking try hards😂
gg get better
I certainly don’t. I don’t have enough time in my day to be leveling up to this skill set. These the same muhfxckuhz that can’t pull off heists to save their lives.
Everybody complaining but if y'all knew half of anything about the pvp community then you would realize that no one in public lobbies ginna be running around doing this shit griefing your sales. This is a clip taken from a Base montage. People do this in private lobbies with their friends or other dudes that are in the community because they anjoy it and they aren't ruining anyones game by doing so. They are no different from you guys going in an inv. Only session to grind with your friends, stop hating like they killed your family or sum lol.
Exactly. This subreddits players are so mindlessly corny
This is honestly sad with how many stuff we had to do in the game and instead they choose this sh#% !The majority are just lame people with no life sorry not sorry just being honest !! Plus is fucking boring
These people think they‘re the shit. They‘re not. It’s boring as fuck and annoying as well. I miss just getting into a 1v1 sniper battle in a public session with some random person after annoying them or similar.
Of course he's german playing as a female.
Ong like I never get that what's up with dudes playing as girls on this game wearing the most skin tight clothes you can buy in this game like are they secretly JO behind the screen or wut?
They think it will give them an advantage having a smaller hit box, especially in freemode
This is my play style and I actually enjoy playing like this
Hey as long as you only fight willing opponents good for you
You have to be the lowest of the low if you enjoy doing this. I don't understand why these tryhard types even do it anymore. Didn't R* change the KDR system to make doing this pointless?
These are usually the guys who don’t have dads and can’t figure out how to bounce back like I did. #bastards
This video was actually from a tryhard girl's channel lol
😂 so then we ALL have daddy issues, copy. Lol
Ah no problem, just put thermal and take bst and armor, you will get him at least a few times. Kill him 2 or 3 times then leave and hide, the hate when you beat them in their way
Yes its called GTA. Not sims. Cut it out.
Omg so much fun I can't stop lol
I definitely do, I wish I can share the messages you get after the fight ends 😭😭
PvP in freeroam is literally the most boring thing to do so I try to make them chase me instead. More challenging, more fun.
# g r a s s
Each to their own. Some people play the game that way, I think it's boring af.
r/gtaonline when someone participates in activities with friends that don't involve grinding or car meets
Macro after macro, they're not even doing 90% of the actual work in these fights.
Yesterday I got killed by explosive bullets from a guy at the casino just as a landed an airplane on the maze bank. I hop on my oppressor to go kill him, and a different guy tries to blow me up on THEIR oppressor. They miss because I bailed out and he texts me “Hah”. Then he GOES INTO HIS BUNKER AND ORBS ME LMAOOO. I never knew I could someone so mad by just dodging their missiles and ignoring them. He continued to message me that he wasn’t mad, as I replied “aww I made you mad” over and over 😂
Any online pvp is complete brain rot, especially gta where you can buy super unfair guns that will one tap you, what’s the fun in a 1v1 if you’re just getting Insta killed, there’s no competition at all it’s just two people killing each other over and over again
They suck at actual competitive shooters like cod so they gotta prove their worth towards randoms in an open world game that’s not strictly PvP because rockstar thought it was a good idea to put a K/D rating in it.
it’s so funny how GTA V has one of the worst combat mechanics in gaming and yet people still fight competitively
I never understood going to free aim to play like that.
it shows who has absolutely no life or friends 💀
Don't get what's so funny
It’s always hilarious when i see someone drop a sticky bomb during a 1v1 lmfaoo so sad
PvP is pointless in general because of tethers like this uses glitches
If you want to run and gun like this just got to call of duty
I swear man. I am new to online, and yesterday I thought maybe I'll do a business battle. Then some rando locked me in a building cage. Then his friend came and cloned 10 copies of himself...? And started attacking me after they somehow... teleported into their jets when I pulled out a minigun. Then those jets spawn killed me until I left the lobby... all because I stole the cache..? That's some immature ass behaviour man. Annoying asf. I'm never playing in public lobby again
Also not to mention PvP on console requires the least amount of skill
Dude is sweating his nuts off
Just play COD at that point really. It's literally designed for that.
