I'll try to get on (D4Z 1986)

Great laugh last night, managed to bank plenty of money, plus the races and the tdm's that we did were really close.

Yeah, was fun last night.

Independence Day update launched today - Monster Trucks! Firework rocket launchers!

Edited by AngryApples on Tuesday 1st July 13:56

Apparently the firework launcher a bit of a cash cow.

It costs 58k to buy, 600 to fire each time, and it is removed from your inventory in a couple of weeks time (rockstar haven't specified yet when)

I love the monster truck!

Where have Rockstar said they are taking the rocket launcher back? I have heard that the update is limited edition similar to the Valentines day pack... buy now or loose the option as the items will not be available forever.

However if you did buy the Valentines day stuff you still own it now. Why release such an expensive weapon, then take it away? Even for Rockstar that is a stupid move.

Can you post a link to Rockstar saying the rocket launcher will be removed?

And agree with Gun... the Monster Truck is all kinds of awesome!! Sounds fantastic and the low speed 4 wheel steering is great.

Rockstar have posted that the fireworks will not be available to keep.

fk me, that was an expensive purchase to lose in a few weeks... Good fun though, I rather like the way you can fire them at cars and set them on fire rather than blowing them up.

Must get myself a monster truck

[Civpilot]

Yeah just saw Rockstars comment... Stupid play by them. It's bloody expensive!!

I might have accidentally blown up Stacy and Tom yesterday with it, totally unintentional (really!! I was aiming at some npc's and Tom ran across in front of me) but bloody funny.

Oh, and that one rocket seemed to set have the pier alight too.

But the highlight is the monster truck, just wish there were body options for it. Don't mind not being able to tune it, but would be great to have a monster jam with loads of different trucks.

I have a stock (cosmetic mods only) Masscarro if you wish to try it out, I love it! looks good at every angle, has nice mods available (no suspension availble?!) and drives really well.

See the rockstar quoted yellow section a few posts into that thread.

These updates are coming thick and fast at the moment, anyone cynical enough would think they're trying to keep people interested in the game for a few more months

[callmedave]

All the expensive stuff that you 'want' means you end up buying one of the cash cards.

Create a demand
Profit
Repeat

[BE57 TOY]

If anyone wants to drive the monster truck but not have to spend the $800k, let me know, you can drive mine. It's not that amazing because you can't modify it.

I'm going to try and get on for the next PH meet up, had a good laugh with NateNW/cossieburn last night. He helped me out with some randoms that didn't like it when I blew up their monster truck with them inside. In the same game I got a bit annoyed being constantly murdered by these guys so started a 1 on 1 match but they were both in and it became 2 on 1 anyway but one of them wasn't scoring kills, how does that happen?

I had something similar, from what I gather it: the 1 on 1 is always a 1 on 1, but it plays in the "world" you're currently in, so other players etc are all there (not like a Deathmatch lobby).
It's basically the same as doing an "impromptu race", nothing stops non-participants to race to the same point (if they know where it is), but they'll never get the money.

Ah cheers, I thought it made everyone invisible to those in 1 on 1 matches so you could get on with having your revenge. But having others gatecrash is a bit lame.

Yeah, the really stupid thing is you can't see them on the radar (I don't know if they can see you on the radar).

I had a one on one with a guy who was annoying me and he had his teammate backing him up the entire team. I was lucky to have an arsenal they apparently didn't have though
