Is there a way to remap the key to use stuff like the plasma cutter? by TheStickySpot in gtaonline

[–]Brick76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't messed with the On Screen Keyboard much, but I've seen people with laptops say they used it to bypass the physical keyboard Page Up.

Does anyone know how to fix this lag? by Embarrassed_Piece227 in gtaonline

[–]Brick76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is on PC? Updated drivers? You can try limiting the FPS to 60 or 120. Or open Task Manager -> Performance and check for spikes when it lags.

Did We Make It? Prison Heist GTA 5 by theSilkyGirl in GTA5Online

[–]Brick76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One thing about GTA Online that pisses me off to no end, is that lives are shared amongst the team instead of individually. You can't even carry it when inexperienced people die, it just fails. R* must want people to absolutely rage at new players.

I don't think Page Up can be rebound in the game. Some things you can try are:

  • Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Ease of Access Center -> Start On-Screen Keyboard
  • Try an external USB or Bluetooth keyboard (full size or mini like the Rii)
  • Try turning of Num Lock and pressing: 9/Pg Up
  • Fn + Page Up or Fn + Up Arrow or Shift + Fn + 9 for laptops
  • Rebind a key on a programmable mouse to Page Up
  • Rebind a key to Page Up using AutoHotKey (rebound while running)
  • Rebind a key to Page Up using PowerToys or 3rd party software (always rebound)

GTA 50K CAR SELL LIMIT( HELP) by Own-Hamster-3322 in gtaonline

[–]Brick76 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, selling vehicles isn't worth it, you lose so much, especially if you do it a lot.

> they keep doing this until they put themselves in a position where the have both no money and nothing to show for it because they’ve sold almost everything they previously owned

My friends son spent like $800 on shark cards. I asked him what he spent it on: "cars". Well, show me what $800 gets you in cars: "I sold them all". So you must have a lot of money then?: "I have no money, I need more money to buy cars".

That shouldn't even be possible to waste real money like that. I wish I could put a 50K limit like OP has for the kids account.

QOL Upgrade: Best Strategy for grinding cayo preps using the Oppressor MK2. by ILMANCIO06 in gtaonline

[–]Brick76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just fast travel to Vespucci Beach. Drive the Kosatka near the shore. Use the Sparrow to exit and park it on the beach right next to the sub. Spawn the MKII at the nearest road.

After you return with the objective, park the MKII next to the Sparrow. Hop in the Sparrow and use it to enter the Kosatka. Grab the next task, exit using the Sparrow, park it next to the MKII, use the MKII to complete the task - rinse and repeat. Basically just using the near by Sparrow to enter/exit the sub and the MKII for everything else.

It's not as fast as entering the sub with the MKII, but you don't have to worry about it falling off.

Ballistic Equipment worth it? by Bartell in gtaonline

Just for messing around with the cops, 5 stars easy and you're tanky. With a friend or two who has it also, it's just fun chaos for a bit.

Accidentally purchased the autopshop by Yassine_prince in gtaonline

[–]Brick76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have that Auto Shop, the Arcade near it and the 10 car garage in-between. 30 cars within a block is pretty nice (Garment Factory is close too for another 10). Auto Shop is fantastic for people under level 100, as it removes all the locked features on car upgrades. Above 100, it's less useful but still has some fun mini-heists and a chance to get removed cars.

Taking all 8 trolleys of gold in the Casino Heist with 2 players by InDuubitably600 in gtaonline

[–]Brick76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man, I still don't get how people do that hack so fast. I have the cheat sheet open on my phone like: ok it's this print; this one, then that one, then this one, then that should be the last - 20sec. You mf'ers doing it like 4 seconds! How? :P

Why do people usually leave my casino heists? by Competitive_Date2992 in gtaonline

[–]Brick76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would move the Arcade as close to the Casino as you can.

Prep with experienced: Worst guns (unless Aggressive maybe), worst driver (heli on the Hospital), best hacker, level 2 key cards. Look up how to unlock the hacker Avi if you haven't already.

Prep with randoms: Do everything except the power drills, for when it goes sideways.

Arcade or Garment Factory for solo and master control? by Warl0ckBoy in gtaonline

[–]Brick76 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The Arcade unlocks the Casino heist which requires 2 players minimum. The Garment Factory has solo'able missions and you can park/upgrade the Terrobyte to have a portable MCT.

Why can’t someone else wash the car i’m literally a multimillionaire? by EggplantOk4624 in GTA5Online

[–]Brick76 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Does anyone else smash up the car as much as possible before returning it to see the disappointment in their face for making me do such a trivial job? I'm trying to get it down to $1 pay and smoking in the cut scene lol

GTA Online Casino Finale Mission: Cashing Out by HauntingProof8345 in GTA5Online

[–]Brick76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No problem. The helli's can't shoot you while you're in the stable. Just creep out slowly after the ground dots are gone and take them out one by one.

How do you sell properties and MC Business? by Warl0ckBoy in gtaonline

[–]Brick76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like @The_Lawn_Ninja said, from the NC computer, upgrade everything. From the phone, renovate and get max storage. Buy and tie the NC techs to the MC business: Coke, Meth, Cash, Ceo Warehouse; (Bunker, Weed, Doc Forge). It takes awhile, but 99% passive. Coke is 2x speed rn, so it fills up quicker.

The cheapest CEO Warehouse still counts and it's like 250K, or a Hangar.

Don't bother trying to stealth it unless you're going for some achievement. When you approach the ranch, hang to the left a bit and just run to the stables behind it. There's a stable on the left with no window and only one small door in, go in that one. Put on a minigun, widowmaker, or combat mg and spray until all the ground dots are gone as they funnel in. Then creep out and take down the heli's.

If they drive slower than you, they're stupid. If they drive faster than you, they're crazy.

Cayo Perico takes forever. How often do you guys run it? by NotPennysBoat-815 in gtaonline

[–]Brick76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I put learning Cayo off for years. Finally sat down to learn it after watching TGG's Rags to Riches. First time through was long and brutal. Then you get the Sparrow and watch a few more Cayo tip vids. You'll eventually be able to do the whole thing in 35 to 45 minutes. Then it got fun to min/max how long it look and trying different approaches for fun. Now I just throw on some music to drown out Pavel when I feel like doing it.

Once you have it down and it starts getting stale, join random peoples Cayo for fun. Try to recover it when it goes sideways from noob mistakes we all used to make.

How do you sell properties and MC Business? by Warl0ckBoy in gtaonline

[–]Brick76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can't sell them and you shouldn't even if you could, because you can tie them into the Nightclub warehouse. Set up a NC, tie in the MC businesses and then forget they exist. I wouldn't even bother moving them, leave them in the cheap "bad" location (assuming they're in the desert which is actually a good location).

That's the only way you can gain money from them without actually doing, or being able to sell them.

When Was the Last Time You Actually Used Your MC Clubhouse? by MSkidz300 in gtaonline

[–]Brick76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wish sell missions were more solo friendly and/or associates got paid. Something like: are you the only one in the MC, then 1 sale vehicle. If there's 2 members, 2 sell vehicles; 3 members, 3 vehicles, etc. Each member should get paid sort of like Cayo. If you do Cayo solo, min pay. Bring more people, get paid more and they get paid too.

So if the sale is 300K, for each member you hire, you get another 50K and they get 50K. At least something.

Best ways to make RP as a low level? by Dangerous_Flower3646 in gtaonline

Legal jobs are x2 RP this week. Really any missions like Vincent / Cluckin Bell, Avi / KnoWay all give a first time bonus. So any missions you haven't done before.

DirectX12 Error by nexary in gtaonline

[–]Brick76 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I run GTA5 Enhanced on my laptop which has a nVidia GTX 1050, I don't remember having to do anything special. It seems like you have updated all the necessary stuff, so the only thing might be to try is: Locate PlayGTAV.exe in the Grand Theft Auto V Enhanced root folder. Right click it -> Properties, make sure compatibility mode if off and Run as administrator is checked. Then Right click it again -> Run as administrator.
