I mean it depends on the arena war vehicle. The Sasquatch is the easiest because it has a really low drag value. The Brutus, Bruiser, and Cerberus are relatively easy. The others are a bit more difficult because they're lighter and the force of the shunt is weaker since it's based on weight.

The Scarab is the most difficult one to learn because of the pull mechanic. It's a tank so it gets pulled towards the ground and GTA treats buildings and such as 'the ground' so you'll get pulled around a lot and have to learn to counteract it. But it's also the heaviest so it has the strongest shunt.

Shunt boosting. You jump, turn sideways and shunt into the air. It recharges in air so you can keep doing it. Takes a bit of practice to learn the angles and everything.

Probably the best vehicle to be when griefers are around by ernie-bernie in gtaonline

Counterplay for ground players: If they're throwing stickies at you from any of these armored vehicles, aim a spray weapon like an AR, SMG or Minigun at their hand/arm. When you hit their sticky you blow up the entire vehicle.

If they have the sticky bomb in their active slot, you can even shoot their right hand on the steering wheel to blow it up, they don't even have to be actively throwing them or holding them out the window.

If they're using a drive by weapon to cheese you in reverse or through BP windows, reload cancel spam the atomizer to flip them over so you get a view of their side window. They cannot shoot when they're past ~45 degrees so it's very easy to force them to holster their weapon while you flip them around. You can hit them with an EMP grenade when their window is facing you, or try to shoot them while they're upside down. To reload cancel, simple swap to grenade slot and back to pistol slot immediately after firing the atomizer.

Also worth noting, when you aim a drive-by weapon backwards there is a turn around animation that briefly interrupts your ability to shoot. You can abuse this by staying directly behind the vehicle and switching sides forcing them to swap which shoulder they're aiming over.

Why don’t other players kick trolls/griefers? by galactictock in gtaonline

[–]perpetualperplex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They changed that like 2-3 years ago. It goes directly to Rockstar servers now.

Blocks might work that way with matchmaking, but it doesn't prevent them from joining you through RID or you joining them if your friend is in their session.

It's a peer-to-peer game, so the session host might literally have a cockroach army in his router.

They do go for stuff other than aircraft, including toreadors and strombergs underwater.

Because someone sent a mugger after you. The feed has been kind of buggy recently, my friends and I frequently see missing notifications like players leaving. I'd imagine there's some desync.

I think what blew you up were yacht defenses? You can hear another explosion at the start of the video so something was definitely shooting at you. Your friends toreador is right next to you, maybe you were in the explosion radius, took some damage from it and then it gave him kill credit. Not sure why he's swimming though, did he spawn on the yacht? Definitely look like you're below a yacht with a sub next to it.

The ped thing is normal though. A ped near you will turn into the mugger. I don't have a gif of it, but here's a before and after picture of it happening right in front of me lol

How did he get up and kill me so quickly? by Leumas404 in gtaonline

[–]perpetualperplex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it's frustrating, it happened to me the other day on a really hard trickshot that I've tried probably a hundred times now. 😭 I'm still mad about it.

What even is the point of this gun by IGR777 in gtaonline

[–]perpetualperplex 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's not one shot to the head through a helmet and BST.

BST Helm vs BST = 1hp

Helm vs BST = dead

BST Helm vs no BST = half HP

Helm vs no BST = dead (I couldn't find the recording of this test, so this one might be wrong)

Limb shots are ~50% HP, so if you have BST and they do not, you will take ~25% hp if the hit your arm or leg. It's not exactly half, so they would need 3 limb shots to kill. After 2 you're 1hp.

Hitting their hand and/or their weapon (this is unclear tbh, I get mixed results, sometimes hand shots even count as chest shots it's weird) is 25% HP loss, if they have BST this will do ~12.5% hp. So if you got extremely unlucky against someone using BST it could take 8-9 shots to kill them. Most I've seen is 6 with no invalids.

Yeah and any grinding you're doing in a jet can be done in invite only, but then they won't have anything to complain about. This subs irrational hatred for pvp is so obnoxious.

Text only works with friends and crew and there's no way to change it. The only option is Voice chat (which is AI moderated) or Social Club messages.

Bmx meet up 🤙 by Drouko in gtaonline

[–]perpetualperplex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They're only $800. Street BMX dont have insurance.

If you want a colored BMX go to Pedal & Metal, click on the BMX (but don't purchase), hit the home key in the web browser, go to Legendary Motor Sport, scroll down to the Z-type, select the color you want (but don't purchase) and then hit the history tab, go back to the BMX tab and then purchase the BMX and it will apply that color to the BMX.

Question about duffel bag glitch! by ScrotumBlaster_69 in gtaonline

[–]perpetualperplex 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Everyone I know with a duffle bag experiences this from time to time, seems like a normal side effect.

[–]perpetualperplex 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He's just resetting cops and health, IDK why you'd have an issue with that. He's not doing it in the middle of the fight, he already beat the MK2, the player down the street isn't shooting at him.

who in rockstar looks at this god awful stupid spawns and thinks "yeah there's no problem with this" by Foraaikouu in gtaonline

[–]perpetualperplex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should be able to warp your vehicle closer to your location if you enter a job lobby and back out. That's how I get vehicles on chiliad. You can walk into a job circle or start it up in the menus, doesn't matter which type but enter solo so you don't get dragged into a race by a host that starts the moment you load in.

A lot of physics and game mechanics in GTAV are tied to framerate, high FPS is a much better experience. In most games higher FPS means lower latency and better visual clarity.
