I've been saving saving saving for a while now, but for some reason I decided to drop $950K on a Vestra last night. I think because I didn't have any planes that seat more than one person, and because I basically never see them in the wild. It's pretty fun to fly, but I have a feeling I am going to regret dropping that cash. Oh well!

That definitely a fun plane to fly. I'm also sitting on a bunch of money waiting for all the classic cars to release. Still deciding on which ones to get. I don't care about top speed, more about style.

Broughy has done some testing of the new Classic cars (Infernus Classic and Turismo Classic), and found that while the Infernus is roughly the same lap time as the Stirling GT, the Turismo smashes it (and is therefore the fastest Sports Classic car in the game now). The Infernus gets released this week, and the Infernus next week. The actual lap time comparison video will go up after the Turismo is launched.

I'm at a point now where I should probably start saving for the eventual gunrunning DLC, because we'll no doubt have to purchase and upgrade a super-expensive bunker for that, and it'll probably come with super-expensive weaponised vehicles too.

Saw an interesting rumour for the Gunrunning DLC:

Hey! I got some more recent info about this update:

- bunkers will be placed around countryside

- list of new weapon attachments:

- fast pull magazine, faster reload speed
- three close range scopes (different looks)
- three medium range scopes
- three long range scopes, normal one, thermal vision and night vision
- multiple handles and grips for almost all weapon types
- some weapons have unique attachments: for example now you will be able to give a double barreled shotgun a longer barrel
- camouflage tints

Weapons:

- Programmable AR - powerful prototype granade launcher with expensive and limited ammo, costs 600k OR 350k if you do mission associated with this weapon
- Heavy Rifle
- Light SMG
- Assault MG
- Military Knife

Vehicles:
- light prototype tank - costs 4.5 million or 3.4 million if you do the mission associated with it. Very fast tank with much better armour than basic tank. Projectile reload speed is also faster.
- two jeeps
- ability to modify old and new military Pegasus vehicles at your bunker, it's stuff like camos for tanks, armor etc.

Clothing and new gear:

- thermal vision googles
- stealth suit - makes you invisible on the map if you are in your own organization, only for other organizations. Sounds OP? But once they see you, you have to wait 15 minutes to use map invisibility again. You activate it in menu. It will automatically make all people in your organization wearing this suit invisible for free.
- reworked Kevlar vests - they will take more bullets (you still lose health)
- weapon holsters (show your last equipped weapon)
- various other clothing: vests, gloves, helmets etc.


New mechanic: crouching. Allows for more freedom in combat. You aim better while crouching.

Rebalanced skills: max shooting skill has been lowered so even if you max it out recoil still will be visible. That's where crouching comes to action

I haven't talked about missions - I don't want to spoil these, they are a lot of fun. Hopefully it's enough to make you hyped for the release. If you still want more info you should read my previous thread.

This guy correctly called the Gunrunning DLC before Rockstar had ever announced it, so he has some credibility. Some of this stuff sounds far fetched, but the special vehicle stuff sounded completely bonkers as well, so you never know.

Someone put together a fake trailer for the gun running update that looks pretty dope. Hopefully the real things is just as neat.

That was very well done, there are some talented people out there :)

Lots of neat stuff.

I presume these bunkers are basically like another apartment/house/garage?
Click to expand...
More like a warehouse I think. The data miners have uncovered two new minimap icons in the game files: one is a bunker, and the other is three bullets next to each other. It looks like we'll be buying a bunker for our militia, and then sourcing and selling 'supplies', as represented by those two icons respectively.

The new car that we got this week, Infernus Classic, is broken:

Damn. I did notice it was handling a little strange last night. I figured it was just a dip in the road or something. I never tested it on a completely flat surface. Hoping this will get patched soon. I love the way the car looks. Making it a point to collect all the classics.

Just further to that: Broughy and others have done some testing, and it looks like that suspension bug was introduced at least as far back as the Import/Export DLC. I think the fix affected five cars in particular (Infernus, Redwood Gauntlet, Vigero, Pigalle, and 811). It made all of them a bit quicker, although the most interesting change is that the 811 is once again the fastest car in terms of top speed.

Wait, are you saying that the new patch created a new bug?

Need some advice.

I was in a public session last night solo doing some Import/Export. A player joined the lobby and I received a notification that I reach the max amount of money in that session. I then saw my bank account jumping up to 8 million. I reported the player before he left the session.

Am I screwed and will be banned during that next ban wave? I've always tried to avoid modders and like to play the game legit. I thought the only way modders could give other players money was from physically dropping money?

Looks like I'm going to go back to playing on PS4 till R* can find a fix.

You think with the amount of effort some of these modders put into finding new ways to cheat, they could instead just invested that time into actually playing the game.

Ah Jesus, I just bought a Dodo a few days ago. I didn't know it was going to be free! I also didn't know the Kraken was going to be free. That's awesome.
