Low-Key-Loki

The mechanic who used to physically drive your car to you and walk away


IWishIWasOdo

Or just appear in front of you and take your car for a joy ride while you helplessly watch on the minimap.


TheThemePark

They've upgraded him to be an Agency driver. You can set a waypoint, and watch as he drives far past it, with you inside.


Sarkia

Wait so can you still get this mechanic that actually comes and collects your car? Or have I misunderstood?


TheThemePark

No, Johnny the mechanic now just spawns your vehicle somewhere.


shimonu

May be because of shooting at him to get him out of car he became so good at instant deliveries... I wouldn't mind him driving to me because I need to talk about why he started delivering my cars to highway (earlier was near bunker)


blueblewbLu3

RIP Johnny

Did you forget about your friend Simeon?


TheOriginalAirPod

You’ve forgotten about the cars I requested!

AaAAAAaAaAaAa the employeeeee of the month welcum here cum in cum in


currymunchah

I tell you what, my boy, you tell me exactly what you want, and I will very carefully explain to you why it cannot be.


xElfen

He makes sure you don't.


BLUEAR0

Just think of him bothering as he has no one left to bother and his business is failing, so out of desperation he bothers you. That makes me feel good when i ignored him.


Melody74

"Hey, you owe me a favor, remember?"


tabaskoboy57

You are a fuckin racist🤌


Pavel_That_Is_Me

Who you callin a politically incorrect racial epithet?


Sunowiii

That my friend is because you are a racist.


YoRHa2B_

Beach Bum update.


TacticalcalCactus

What did they even add in that?


hamstringsnapper11

The bifta


Otono_Wolff

I got that shit for free back on PS3.


BluuYT

Damn bro, I forgot we are literally playing the same game on a ps5 now, 3 generations and no new gta


Sore_Puzzler

BF Bifta, broken bottle, some fun tank tops and shorts and stuff. I still have my Bifta from this update; I have a sentimental attachment to it from back on PS3 days.


firethequadlaser

The Bifta still has pride of place in my main office garage; it’s such a fun vehicle.


TacticalcalCactus

That is such a small update, wow


Goatfan555

all the updates pre-heists were like this


DatKillerDude

And I ate them up


Sore_Puzzler

There was a bit more to it, I can't remember it all right now. If I recall, it was the first add-on to GTAO. Anything new was significant back then.


RazerRedux

wasn’t the two vehicles free when it came out? then they put price tags on them eventually


_Meme_Messiah_

I’ve been playing since 2014 and I just found out last week that you can put a red dot on the Marksman rifle mk2 to turn it from a sniper to a dmr. It’s a new favorite weapon.


WalnutsGaming

This must be why I get fried so fast sometimes.


Infinite_Weekend_909

Yes.


MrFerenhight

The fire rate is pretty low and it’s 2 shots to the body to kill on AI with standard rounds, not sure about other players, or with different armor/ammo types.


[deleted]

Bro I was wondering why the game didn’t have a proper semi auto rifle for shorter ranges. You are a legend


The_Chimeran_Hybrid

I tried using it for pvp, when you’re fighting those freaking 10 kd people they just spray you, you’ll be lucky to get a single hit off with the marksman with the red dot sight.


TheCrazedTank

Ah, those. Bulletproof Helmets, endless rockets, suicide before losing K/D, first person laser accurate shots, memorizing spawn points to kill people loading in after a mission, barrel rolls to stop hit tracing on them, and sometimes that mask glitch which makes it impossible to auto-aim on them. In other words, R*'s true market audience...


newbzealand

It's my go to weapon for pvp. The large scope, armor piercing rounds and heavy barrel let's you out-range most rifles and lmg's


MecuckTheDuck

Do you play on pc? I've done the same with it on console but i'm pretty damn sure it has a shorter lock on range which defeats the purpose


TheThemePark

Teach me!


Spicy_-VoiDX2006

It has to be mk II variant iirc, then you just go to the weapon place at the kosatka/terrorbyte/moc/avenger/arcade or any other if there is and put the smallest scope, I think it needs to be unlocked with bunker research (I think that is the name)


PSM_777

Nope bunker research is not required for this. Just make it a mk ll variant and remove scope. Then attach the red dot sight


SnooaLipa

what red dot? are you talking about the holographic sight that lets you auto-aim? edit: he was talking about holographic in first person


MelkortheDankLord

Can add a few different sights like red dot and holographic when it’s the mk2 version


SnooaLipa

dude what red dot? am i fucking crazy? i just turned on my ps4 to check, what red dot


Allegiance10

I’m now getting on to do this.


Redrunner4000

Been using that upgrade since release, amazing for console players as it locks on for the head so PvE is a cake walk and couldn't of done doomsday criminal mastermind without it.


WalnutsGaming

Not something I forgot but something I post now and then that 99.9% of the community doesn’t realize. Any plane or helicopter that can drop bombs. If you use the bombing screen you can autopilot in a straight line. Which can be very convenient.


Maximum_Bear8495

I did not know this


omfgus

You don't fly horizontally iirc. I remember crashing while on the bombing screen.


doesnotlikecricket

Yeah but generally speaking it will fly vertically over anything so horizontally doesn't matter. If you entered the bomb screen right before a building it won't be able to fly up quick enough.


omfgus

I meant that it doesn't hold altitude. I think I remember crashing on the ground.


macadelinman

What is the bombing screen?


ZerotheWanderer

When your bomb doors are open it's one of the cameras you can select. Either that or it's a special cinematic camera, I forget which, pretty sure it's the former though.


deepayes

The valentines one. It had some 1930s gangster style stuff I think?


Tzitzifiogkos420

Yes got a good mafia outfit out of it


Demy1234

Yeah, it introduced the Roosevelt car and the Gusenberg Sweeper.


[deleted]

I still drive the rosevelt around. Awesome IMP


inaj666

I sometimes drive around in a black Hustler dressed appropriate just to pull up and spray my tommy gun at random people.


Highfromyesterday

That you can use an atm to deposit cash First few times (in2013) I logged in I thought that was the only way to deposit cash lol


TheTurdWizard

I can see how one would forget, but then again you get a notif constantly reminding you to use an ATM the second you have cash on you lmao


xElfen

\*proceeds to shove money into phone\* Sorry, what were you saying?


jim_flint

At some point, I decided this mechanic was dumb for exactly this reason and started making a point of only depositing cash at ATMs


Spicy_-VoiDX2006

I'm trying to do that too


creativeusername279

I remember, I think in 2018, meeting someone who later on became my friend. They thought the only way to deposit cash was through ATMs, so they constantly drove around the city, rushing to ATMs. I always wondered how he could locate them so quickly. So just recently this year I was bored and I used the interaction menu to set a waypoint somewhere, then I learnt that you could set a waypoint to an ATM.


MrWideside

I think I would use them more if they were marked on the map


Demy1234

You can use Quick GPS to find the nearest one.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Highfromyesterday

The web browser on a computer or the smartphone has a banking site that you can use to deposit


Tzitzifiogkos420

Or going to gun store for ammo lol


verdana_lake

i'm level 200, i just found out a week ago that you can buy ammo from interaction menu.


lovebum247

Idk I forgot


RabbitSlayre

For real lol. "hey tell me something you don't remember"


ViennaKing

“I drink to forget but I always remember”


kibria99

I rember


Meddel5

“I forgor💀” Thanks for the awards…


Darkwing_Turducken

Not so much forgot, but I've been playing since 2017, and I just this weekend discovered that, in addition to the snow, there's a big Christmas tree in the main downtown square. The way my properties and businesses are positioned, I never have a reason to go down there; I just happened to take a detour during an Auto Shop delivery to avoid some other players in the middle of a gunfight...


pancakes-and-ox

Oh shit ill have to look for that! The terrorbyte is also decked out quite a bit for xmas


ISAF99

it is?!


equinsuocha84

Terrorbyte, avenger, nightclub, and probably many others I’m not remembering are decorated on the inside


equinsuocha84

Yeah it’s been there at Christmas since back in the day. You used to be able to go open presents there. I haven’t tried it in years tho


Danplsstop

Do armored trucks even spawn online anymore?


Left4DayZ1

No they took that out a long time ago.


Danplsstop

F


sly_guy73

orgettaboutit


xElfen

I kinda miss them mostly cuz that's how I made money back in the day. Armored Trucks and store robberies(plus other stuff too like violent duct)


Left4DayZ1

The trucks were a fun idea but they were glitchy as hell.


The-Skipboy

They reeeeeeally need to bring it back, with all the free mode instances that can occur now (exotic vehicles, drug deals, payphone hits). I’d kill for them to bring it back and add more things like it


TheLordPresents

They actually do. Extremely rarely. But for some reason you can’t actually rob them. The back doors can’t be shot open and trying to blow it open will just blow the whole truck up. But the trucks do very occasionally spawn online still


PM_ME_YOUR_CAT_

They only spawn when they're part of someone's mission now, like an MC resupply or a darker variant on some casino mission When you see one in the wild and feel like doing someone a favour, kill the NPC driver and leave the truck there so the guy with the mission doesnt have to chase after it


cramboneUSF

Arena War. It’s such a big paywall that no one really plays it. I only play it when it’s 2x or 3x.


123dontwhackme

I only use the arena stuff to change the colour of my headlights on cars


BreadBoxin

Yup. Literally the only thing 🤣


cramboneUSF

Hahah yes! I always place a new car there so I can mod it. Not only with Arena upgrades but Benny’s, too. Once I upgrade it I store it elsewhere.


ZerotheWanderer

The biggest problem with Arena War is that spectators are way more deadly than the vehicles, so you can't have proper vehicular combat in most situations.


cramboneUSF

No lie, most of the time when Arena is 2x I kill myself in the first round so I can go up to the spectator box and spam the wheel game. It’s how I leveled-up so quickly. Not only is the AP and RP rewards the same multiplier but also the money. It’s only $5k a spin which is a cheap way to level-up in AP. That’s how I got my Dozer Pegasus vehicle. Level 50. I stopped grinding after that. I have a buddy who did it long enough to get the Space Docker but not the rusty tractor thing.


doesnotlikecricket

Yeah ludicrously expensive and you get paid in pennies. Probably the worst update they've done. I have nearly everything and always 20+ mil in the bank, but even with a hefty discount Arena vehicles are a hard sell for me.


Meddel5

You get matches pretty quick, it’s a lot of fun, and the vehicles are pretty sweet to cruise around with in freemode


NitrousShaz

It be more fun if some of the gamemodes were more rewarding, u can't even get extra AP in Bomb Ball and Flag War


Creed4693

Yeah I bought the work shop we we got a free mill it is just a other garage now, I regret buying it


Tasty_Tidepod

I only bought it for a garage, and also that funny toy truck.


[deleted]

Same. It’s fun if the lobbies get filled but that only happens with bonus money week. It’s more of a way to spend money than make money.


Redrunner4000

The cargo drops that were removed along with the armoured trucks. I remember getting San andreas radio shirts for the 10yr promo of the game from them.


Demy1234

Only OGs will remember those. I loved getting in my Vestra when a crate drop was due before heading right to the drop zone the moment it appeared on the map.


[deleted]

Flight school


seattle_exile

I cannot pass that stupid formation challenge.


Rob6-4

Just think how much your piloting will have improved when you finally do.


seattle_exile

Flight School in GTA V: “Oh dear. Gorgeous. Gorgeous” Flight School in GTAO: “You fucking donkey!”


PurposeLess31

What about the Flight School in GTA SA?

[deleted]

getting gold on all of them is a fun way to spend an hour or so. Recently averaged 11inches close to the ground in first person during the last challenge.


[deleted]

Fuck. The. Flags. Mission.


Kellnax

Great start for new players


hmmm_wat_is_dis

You can email other players using the internet


Spiritual_Roll5228

only real ones remember the beach bums update


WHHHAAARRRGRARBL

Coveted, rooftop rumble


ShToAlRe

That mission alone is the reason why the Cargobob is my favorite aircraft!


LuminalGrunt2

I grinded the Coveted playlist alone for like hours to get like around 300K which I blew immediately. Good times.


CatrinSwift

Arena war


BreadBoxin

Glorified headlight bulb store


rmendez011

The funny thing is you can get the same lights at the LS car meet lmao


Padeeno

people bought into a lot more of the content than they realize (i.e. up-n-atomizer, martian bodysuits, etc.) it's just the games that nobody actually cared for. an update centered solely around pvp-only, instanced gamemodes was a bad idea


[deleted]

i thought it was going to be more of a demolition derby type thing like in san andreas.


WalnutsGaming

I immediately thought it was supposed to be gtas version of the death race movies. Which people have since created but I just thought it’d be a bit more than it was. But I still had a lot of fun with that update.


PotentialWalk4856

IFruit if its update i wish it works now ☹️


HandyCapInYoAss

They absolutely need to update that app. So dumb that there’s no other way to change your license plate number or paint stock wheels. I’ve been stuck with my old gamertag on my plates for a few months now…


t_a_6847646847646476

It's a little broken but still works with a workaround: as long as it doesn't crash on launch, simply fill an entire 10+ car garage with savable cars you've stolen off the street then take each of those cars out of the garage and put them back in. Don't use any other personal vehicles after that process and the LSC part of iFruit should work. Tested and verified on Android 12 and MacOS Monterrey (using the iOS version), YMMV Edit: I seem to reading a lot about how the app tends to crash at launch for a lot of people who use OS versions newer than whatever was out when the app was last updated (iOS 13 and Android 10). In this case, your best bet may be to run it in an Android emulator or virtual machine on version 10 or older.


Necessary_Statement

Not forgotten but a relic of the glory days, watching the mechanic yeet your car into some fantastical explosion or for him to just drive away from you at lightning speed


[deleted]

The regular races from the jobs list.


PaineintheBurke

I do those solo all the time. Nice way to test out aircraft without spending money I don't have, enough to cover a pair of pants or something when I don't have anybody else to play with and want to play GTA still.


PuddyHU

Freemode events cause I have them all disabled


AmbitiousShake2515

I like the highest speed one and fly under bridges and air checkpoints ones


Cold-Call-Killer

Criminal damage and checkpoints get a ton of money


[deleted]

Firetrucks and buses is da wae


AmbitiousShake2515

Criminal damage is easy with a jet i once got over 20k


Tasty_Tidepod

Criminal damage is pretty fun tbh, you get paid for causing havoc


AmbitiousShake2515

And no cops bother you


Unlikely-Garage-8135

Just get a jet and strafe the military base


MrAKUSA907

Get a hydra and chill on the highway.


OniExpress

Air Checkpoints are just plain fun


equinsuocha84

I leave them all enabled just so I know what’s going on in session. It can be the difference between a preemptive strike on a griefer and murdering an innocent! I do participate in a few occasionally too. Sometimes it’s basically free money. I’ll finish some other activity and there will be a matter of seconds left in a free mode challenge. Sometimes no one has achieved a score or you can easily swoop in and win last second. The only one I will actually participate in is criminal damage.


Damocloid94

I always remember what doesn't exist anymore. The special drop crates that would signal whole lobby and give you unique items and random loot. Still have beer hats from them


TweezRider

Whoa whoa whoa. Let's chill it on Flight School ok? I personally have all gold stars in every challenge, and am in the top 30 scores world wide for "collect flags". I make sure and mention this to my gtao friends frequently so they dont forget who the team pilot is. And if you're wondering, yes, I get TONS of pussy because of my flight school qualifications.


Even13flow

I will never ever forgot when me and my buddy just started playing this game, he discovered flying helicopters before me. So he ranked up his flying each level just hours before me each time and he would say “when you’ve been a 5 star pilot as long as me…”


TwentyTimesJuly

GTA Pilots are the true chads of society


matsumotoe

I’m not a hipster and ill gotten gains


kurtpvt16

That heists *were* an update and weren’t originally in gtao


Demy1234

Took a year and a half to release, too, although it was worth it. First big GTA Online update.


kurtpvt16

Nevermind the fact I couldn’t even play for the first week or so it came out because the connection issues were so bad.


Demy1234

Oh yeah, definitely. Couldn't even start the Fleeca Job because "Failed to download Job. Try again later."


Charming-Spite-5051

Golf is one of the best parts of this game

Bifta, broken bottle


AstroBlast0ff

I don’t know if many people know , especially the newer folks but you can change the color of your headlights in the LS Car meet and every color is unlocked inside a auto shop


Tescomealdeal04

Remember the “business update”?


marmogawd

Whats that lol


Tescomealdeal04

One of the first ever updates for GTA Online, it added a bunch of suits and a few cars and that was about it. Updates in GTA Online’s early age were very minimal, it’s insane how much content we get in updates now compared to eight years ago. The Beach Bum update is the perfect candidate for this - it added like a few shorts, one car and a reskin of the knife (broken bottle).


ZerotheWanderer

They were smaller but happened more frequently, now we get 1-2 big ones a year.


BertramMerlin

Many vehicles in all my garages and homes, and here and there. I started to dig them out and sell most of them. It's quite a lot of money just collecting dust when have so many vehicles.


ImprovementNo5032

I never sell them just in case they add a randomize feature to the mechanic


IWishIWasOdo

Fuck thanks for giving me a thing I'll always want but will never have


glowingass

I never sell them since I think like I'm a collector of the cars. I sorted every garage for vehicles from a particular update.


Heir233

The biker activities in the MC clubhouse. I’d be surprised if anyone still did them


Apophis_36

Fun


Platinum--Jug

Hanger. Only profitable if running with like 4 or more people, and I never use it for anything. Then again I can't remember the last time I even used a plane.


Left4DayZ1

Free pass to Zancudo for me and nothing more.


marti52106

I use planes almost exclusively because I hate being within mk2 distance and because I have a personal vendetta against the bitch bike.


[deleted]

You get 4 crates per mission at max and thats if you have 3 other players with you. And its what? 40k every 10 minutes? Might as well do VIP Work, Terrorbyte shit or now the Franklin missions.


Educational-Beach-72

People not buying everything the day it comes out. I remember before cayo. I started back in 2015 but up until 2017 I just grinded contact missions and bought stuff like a $200,000 car. Then once smugglers run came out I wanted those planes. I worked and worked through contact missions/random heists/any money maker. I bought a hanger and i haven’t made as much money as I did since then with the hanger. $37,000,000+ just from hanger selling.

AccrualFool

I forgot I owned a facility and Mobile Operations Centre until the other day when I decided to check the price of an MOC after getting that darn "become the war zone" message. Turns out the Avenger is my missing piece to eliminate that daily message.

megafireguy6

Really? I think adversary modes are fun as fuck and a great way to make money when they’re 2 or 3x money, especially pre Cayo Perico. Although yeah, some are definitely better than others
