Gazzas is rank 37 though so doesn't have that rank 45 job. So probably the hardest part about that job is finding someone who is level 45 and then convincing them to let you join.

Violent Duct is pretty easy to solo and you get it at rank 15. The r2 trick is clearly an exploit as it was only meant to be an option when you fail a mission. They will patch it sooner or later but I dont know if they will punish the people that have been using it.

I had lost everthing before last night but started again, already upto level 24 with 180k or so. There was a mission i was repeating with a mate of mine, cant remember the name but we had to destroy documents on top of a multi story carpark, but he was just launching grenades up from the ground so didnt have to actually do anything lol
5K everytime and 4500xp

Then after i went and got a Cargobob heli from the airport and took 5-6 cars to the top of the Maze tower for a demolition derby was great fun!

Too Add: there was a PHer that used to cheat on Forza to get credits, he got banned from XBL his console was banned too iirc.

I had a thought last night,

You can bet on a winner of a race, so a team of two or more can bet all their cash on one person to win, let that person win, then repeat for each on the 'team' (or not you get the money as long as you bet on the 'winner')

I havent had a chance to apply this yet, but would that work as a 'hack'?

ETA: im not interested in cheating, im happy to play the game the way it was designed, but this occurred to me last night.

Had a few strange games this evening. Two guys in two cars started following me. I made a deliberate late turn, so did they. So I knew they were looking for the kill. I turned into a car park and then open fired as they pulled up and got out. They killed me and destroyed my car, all because they flanked me. So well done. I was beat. I spawned back and threw some grenades. They both drove off. I gave chase and they left the game. I don't mind someone attacking me, but leaving? Defeats the purpose surely? That does annoy me. I followed them into the next lobby and they left. Must purely be stat wes. I gave up after that.

Edited by Birdster on Tuesday 8th October 01:11

I sometimes do something like that...instead of killing them when they follow me, I bait them into chasing me around half the map, I'll slowly get to my garage door making them think I've ended up in a dead end, once they start shooting I'll drive into my garage then I'll come out the front door in passive mode, flip them the bird, wait for them to get in car to ram me and I'll get back into my apartment just before they can hit me with their car

I do this when I see on map there's 2 up in a car killing people, I'll check what Rank they are, if they are mostly below 10, I assume they won't have grenades, so my trick in coming out my front door and flipping the bird works.

I keep doing this till they leave, once they leave I'll chase them again in my car, ram them, and start again

This gives me around 20mins of messing about, then I'll get back into a mission...

Thinking about it...I think that's why I get kicked from free roam about 5 times a day I think some of them recognise me and kick me out before I can flip them the bird

That's beating them at their own game. I like it. I'm off of my feet with a bad knee, so GTA is being played a lot.

Surely that would just be the same money going back and forth with no multiplication? Also, when you stop doing it, who keeps the cash?

They might, and I'm going to take it as it comes, back in Forza 3 there was a exploit for money, most of the people who used it got their account blocked, it was a case of delete the save and start again, or create a new XBL account to play forza online.

It's not hard to track down who's been using this exploit, R* can do what most MMORPG companies does, ban their account and make them start again.

I'm sure the PHer that got banned from XBL for cheating Forza had his console "ID" banned by Microsoft as well.

I'm not risking it.

No i dont think so, I you and me enter a race, i bet $100 on you with odds of 2/1, You win i get £300 dollars back (my stake + £200) that £200 comes from R* not from you,
.repeat
.profit?

Oh right, I see, I thought you were on about betting between two players as to the outcome of a race without multiplication through odds. Sorry, haven't spent very long on online yet, waiting for bugs to be ironed out.

Maybe now as you're circumventing some that you should not be able to do. Before the replay button was there for all to see and use.

like i say, its just an idea, may try this tonight. Seems a little too easy so im sure theres something thats stopping you from exploiting this. If it works two people could make a lot of $$ very quick.

My group which did the Froza money exploit didn't get banned from XBL, we were all given the choice to delete our saves and start fresh.

I did read somewhere some XBL account were banned, but never really seen it...

XBL might be the one which will make Sony follow suit in banning accounts which used this exploit, after all, XBL is paid, and with my limited experience playing monthly paid subscription MMORPG, these are the companies which takes cheating a bit more seriously than 'free' MMORPG.

TBH, GTA5O is sort of like a MMORPG, you Rank up (level up) to get higher level weapons/armor, get a group together for a mission (quests), save up money to buy things...it's just like a normal MMORPG, apart from you don't have a safe zone and no friend or foe system.

If the worse comes and I have to start fresh, so be it, but I have to say... R* has acknowledge one thing, MMORPG makes the most money from in game money, most MMORPG has 'vendors' which 'sells in game money', they know if there is a money system in their game, there will be money vendors outside selling it for real money, so R* have Micro Transaction in place.

I am one of those who used to 'buy money', for the sake of 20-40 quid I can save weeks of my time in grinding that amount of money...that's my take on MMORPG world...

I have just over 1.2 Mill now in the bank, which took me 5 ish hours to do, just by replaying certain missions, If you want to make a quick buck to afford that penthouse or have an adder/cheetah after 2 hours work then i can teach you the way, basically you can earn $18k and 3000RP points every 40 seconds.

Do tell...

Pray tell please, the replay option was blocked in the last update.

+1

I just wanna get back up to my original level.

Same, I was level 20 or 21 when I lost the lot.
Worst of all I can't find another Stetson for my new Character. #firstworld problems

All we have to do is send him 100 UNITED STATES DOLLARS and he will email us how to do this.

Haha you can if you wish...... Sorry for the late reply i was at work, we'll your all right in that they did remove the replay button but some clever sod found another way... Heres what you do....

When the vote screen comes up... Press triangle to give a thumbs up (do not press x), then when the countdown for continue starts.. Keep pressing R2 until the timer ends and it will restart the mission again....

If it restarts again youve done it correctly... If you then go to the choose your next mission / choose freemode screen youve done it incorrectly........ Happy farming!!!!

Has anyone heard any rumours of a fix for the character deletion bug coming out?

The latest I heard was not to re use that save slot. Otherwise it has been pretty quiet.
