The GTA Online thread

[moustachebandit]

Well after all the issues I was suffering with going online and never seeing a car or pedestrian I had a bash last night to spend my 500k and online was fine.

I also crashed into the Cayenne look alike 4x4 which I have never seen in driving around in single player let alone online - bagged and tagged and parked in my garage.

Can anyone tell me whether its possible to lift other players locked rides? I finally got the chance to play with a Cargobob and some troll rocketed me as I was trying to lift a truck. He went off to troll someone else and left his car parked up.

I was thinking that a good punishment would have been to airlift his car into Fort Zancudo and leave it on the roof of one of the bunkers. Should make it quite difficult for him to retrieve?

I did wonder what happens in that, or the dump it on the helipad in the city, scenario. Obviously you haven't destroyed it so no bad rep / excess charge and as it isn't destroyed he can't claim it on insurance therefore unless he retrieves it himself he loses it

Where does one find cargobobs?
Yesterday I spent ages looking for one, checked zancudo, airport, sandy shores, hospital, only buzzards.
I wanted to go looking for containers to build with

I've done both of those and can confirm you don't get the blame if the cars get destroyed

It's done on rank. Cargo bob is for the ranks in the 20s. Once you get to 30 I've found the only place you can get them is the AFB.

Rockstar are looking into making them available again to higher level players in a future patch. Don't know why they decided to code the helicopter spawning like this, there are loads of helipads around the map that could be used, the Cargobob is the best heli in the game!

Chris, rob and I could only get them to spawn at the merry weather docks yesterday. Took a while but they did spawn. (we are all mid 60's rank wise)

[scarble]

Yea I think the trick is to have lower level players get them to spawn somehow then swoop in and take one
I can't believe anyone ever though it was a good idea to code it that way. smh.

i think you're stuck with it. You can look at it every day and think about how silly you were to buy it

Had I known how easily attainable it was I wouldn't have spent that much on it!!!

I'm saving up for an annihilator at the moment, that looks like a nice thing to have.

Don't. You can pick em up at the helicopter place. They're also st unless you have st hot aiming

Once you hit a certain rank they will always spawn at the helipads next to the marina, unless you want one easily available I'd save the dollar!

Yeah, annoyingly I did a similar thing. Purchased a Maverick helicopter at $780,000 to find the it costs $1000 each time to use it and it spawns on a helipad miles from where you are.

I then found out it's much easier to call in a Merryweather helicopter pickup at $1000 that lands where you request it, take out the pilot and away you go.

Yup!
Do you think if we tweet requests of being able to sell them they'll do an update with it? Even if I got £100k back I'd still happily sell it!

With choppers, there should be a helipad on all the large apartment blocks and that way you could select 'roof' when you jump in the lift to exit!!

That is a superb idea.

Pretty sure in future updates the houses/estates we can buy will have heli pads .

I think you're right. I reckon some of the big Vinewood houses will be made available to buy soon.
