Is there a better alternative to this game? Like GTA without being GTA?
(WARNING: Major salt below. Like freaking Dead Sea levels of salt.) Like holy shit. For a game that's been out for 7 years you'd think it would be able to function at a playable level or at least have some semblance of balance. I just wanna a good online crime sim with cool vehicles and weapons but everything in this game is ridiculously inflated to the point where you could 'grind' for hours and still only be able to afford a fraction of a car (Even the cars that have been from updates from YEARS ago have not gone down in price, like what the hell? I can't even access any of the cool shit in Story Mode either which is beyond infuriating). 'grinding' is essentially impossible in the conventional sense because you'll spend hours on ridiculously difficult missions fighting waves of bullet sponges for scraps of a chance for money. The constant errors and glitches don't help either. Take the heist prep delivery glitch for the yellow circle for example. Over a year ago my heist supplies just would'nt deliver for the Diamond Casino to the point where I couldn't progress at all. A year later and the same glitch is still present in the Cayo heist where I spend like 12 minutes getting shot at with supplies only to find I can't enter the Kosatka. Like really Rockstar? Over a year and you still haven't fixed this? I can send support tickets but they all lead to the response of 'oh we're aware and working on it!' Well clearly you aren't if its been this long! Don't even get me started on griefing, like who the fuck decided adding in the Specter from Saints Row was a good idea?! I absolutely LOVE getting fucking nuked by a dozen fucking depressors that I can't fight back against. I really wish there was a strong competitor in the open world video game market to take Rockstar down a notch. Its super ripe for the taking seeing as how low the bar is with the state of online today. FiveM definitely has the right idea but even that is just a derivative of GTA. GTA Online is a game designed for junkies, to keep you glued to a screen spending hours to get overpriced items in hopes you'll just cave and buy microtransactions (which are also fucking overpriced. The Megalodon card is 8 mil and cost $99. 8 mil gets you like 1 property with all upgrades, FFS a yacht is 9 mil. You're telling me a virtual boat is worth 3x the retail price of your game? What kind of brain dead toddlers are buying these things?!) If you're playing GTA Online in 2021, you've gotta be a fool, a junkie, or a masochist. Like fuck, there's gotta be a better alternative open world game than this shit. It has rekindled my interest in building a gaming rig just to play FiveM. (I started writing this during a loading screen. I need to get outside more)

When will the DLC drop? Soon. Rockstar usually pushes updates around 3:30AM EST or 9:30AM UTC. Check this helpful map showing all the timezones. Does the DLC cost money, how can I get the DLC? The DLC will be made automatically available through whatever launchestore you have the game on. Those using the Rockstar Launcher can expect to see their games updated first, so be ready for that. What can we expect? Judging by Rockstar's announcements and timelines, this DLC won't be massive. They've confirmed new business battles and yacht missions, probably comparable to the previous client jobs we've gotten with the Terrorbyte. Additionally they've teased some cars, of which we've gotten images of a new supercar, a musclecar and an F-1 car. Some new race modes have been mentioned as well. It's safe to assume that the content will be dripfed in stages, especially the more interesting items might be left for later. Have the Acura NSX and new Toyota Supra been added? Some images of the Toyota Supra and Acura NSX being converted at Benny's have been floating around - these are fake and have been put into circulation by a clickbaity asshole who shall not be named. Are weekly updates on Tuesdays starting now? Probably not. Rockstar always goes a little off their usual schedule with DLC drops and this is probably the same thing. It's hard to say if the sales will already change this Thursday, but I'd recommend y'all reek the benefits of the sales before you regret it. What's going to be on sale next? / When will the next sale be up? / What's going to be in the next DLC? If any Rockstar employees are on this sub, we'll let you know.
We're also hosting a Summer Special DLC Discussion Megathread which will be unlocked once the DLC has dropped to keep discussions related to the release of the DLC and first wave of content in one place. Have fun playing everyone!
So it’s been a few days since the update dropped so I think it’s been a good enough to let the update’s content sit and allow us to play around with everything. To address the elephant in the room, let’s talk about the island: it is very, very, VERY underwhelming. I already made a post explaining the problems with the island, so I’ll just keep it brief: it’s all run down industrial drug manufacturing and no resort town area thingy for the tourists at the party. It’s quite unrealistic thinking about the people there and where they’re going to stay. If they wanted to make the infrastructure of the island undeveloped, then make it be like Cuba, where it’s all old timey buildings with classic cars on the unpaved roads. It’s all off-road areas, which TBH are pretty cool if you wanted some off-road/rally cars to try out BUT OH WAIT YOU CAN’T BECAUSE THE ISLAND ISN’T ACCESSIBLE IN FREEMODE. I don’t know what Rockstar was thinking when they said “an entirely new location.” When you say it like that, of course people are gonna expect it to be in freeroam so they can have fun with their friends and hang out in their cars and whatnot, and no having tiny portion of the island where you can just do what you do in your nightclub and the Music Locker, and that is to just dance and drink and entertain yourself for 5 minutes. If you try to leave the island, the guards stop you and your character automatically walks back toward the party. You can’t even sneak or swim around the guards you are just stuck at the party until you decide to go back to Los Santos. From what some people say, it’s because of the limited hardware, and that the entire island is free to explore in freeroam on the XSX/S and PS5, but very few of us have those consoles, and those who do say that claim is false. It’s just either the game is old or that Rockstar just wanted to be dicks to us, and if they did know we were expecting a map expansion, then I’d like to believe the. They really did do us dirty like that. The very first prep/scout might be the worst mission in the entire game. All you do is take pictures of stuff you need for the heist, which is fine, except the stuff spawns in random locations and if you wanna fully complete the prep missions and get your crew completely equipped you have to find 4 of the stuff, like the bolt cutters and grapples. I like the idea of posing as a DJ’s entourage then sneaking out scope out the island. It’s cool, except for the fact the mission is goddamn awful. It’s a mandatory stealth mission, which doesn’t sound that bad, then you remember stealth in GTA is just so, so bad. “So what if it’s a stealth mission, just quietly take out everyone in your way.” That’s the problem: you can’t eliminate anyone in this prep mission, not even punch or judo chop or whatever on the guards. As soon as you get too close to any of the guards, you are spotted and instead of dying and respawning, you’re dragged back to the party (or airport, if you’re doing the prep after the first play through) and have to sneak your way back all over again. It gets pretty frustrating after awhile. To make it worse, if you’re spotted too much, you are thrown off of the island and wash up on the shores of Vespucci Beach, which doesn’t make sense geographically, since Cayo Perico is confirmed to be in the Caribbean and LS is next to the Pacific Ocean. After getting thrown off the island, you have to go back to the Kosatka, restart the prep, and do the mission all over again. The other prep missions are somewhat of a step up from the Casino Heist preps. For one, there aren’t any missions where you have go back twice for any of the equipment; it’s a one and done deal. The missions utilize different interiors from previous updates, like the CEO office, Import/Export garage, etc. and I find that somewhat cool. The missions themselves aren’t that hard, so they should be able to be breezed through. The heist itself was in many ways a step up from the Casino Heist, in a way. All the different kinds of approaches, entries, methods, setups, etc. made the heist very unique with different levels of replay ability. As annoying as the guards on the island are, it’s good that they spawn randomly, as to encourage more challenge and thought as to how to approach the heist, unlike the Casino where they all have fixed locations, and after a few play through you figure out the formula and breeze through it like no problem. The guards are still ridiculously hard to all kill, even with all the prep missions to weaken them done. They still have aimbot, not surprised there. There’s a juggernaut in El Rubio’s mansion, but it’s not that bad, since there’s only one that spawns, and you can just use explosives. It is a heist that encourages stealth, and is very unforgiving to those who fuck it up. The enemies are fairly weak if you do the preps, but they just swarm you everywhere, especially in El Rubio’s mansion where they flank you at all corners, and if you’re not careful, you can go through all your snacks and armors quickly. The amount of content released day one is very underwhelming, and the drip feed line up lowkey sucks. Half of the cars showed off in the trailers and promos were actually released on launch but the rest are to be released weekly over the next few months. I get it, Rockstar wanted to artificially extend the lifespan of this update, but did they really have to make us wait weeks for vehicles we can drive around during the heist? If they wanted to drip feed some vehicles from the heist itself, make it like the Manchez scout or that ATV cause no one cares about those vehicles, well, at least I don’t. Leaving out less vehicles from the heist to be released as drip feed would leave room for some more original cars to be added or different versions of cars that need updating, like the ARENA ZR380 PLEASE JUST GIVE US A CLEAN JDM VERION OF THAT CAR. The line up of original non heist cars is actually quite solid, still fitting the theme of the update. Cayo Perico gives off some Cuban vibes, minus the whole communism thing, so it would make sense some of the cars added would be classic cars from the 50s-60s, like the Fiat 500 (Brioso 300), BF Weevil (finally, they added a better version of the Injection), and Slamtruck (if that thing doesn’t allow us to put cars on it I’m gonna get very mad). The new clothes and outfits are nothing amazing, but there was a change I appreciate so much, and that is we can finally put body armor on other tops like hoodies, service shirts, other utility tops. Finally will I no longer have to use the merge glitch. The new armored vests tho kinda suck, since they’re just designer and don’t exactly fit anything. The new button down tropical shirts do look cool, I just wish we could unbutton them to give more of a casual tourist vibe. I just appreciate we have more ability than variety. The weapons were ok. The military rifle looks way too similar to the bullpip and advanced rifle, so it’s nothing really special. The Perico Pistol was a cool unlock for a random event that has a somewhat painful chance to get by finding a body in LS and searching it for a key, but the gun itself is just a golden marksman pistol, needing to be reloaded after every shot. I have yet to find the combat shotgun in the heist, but I imagine it’s just a cooler looking version of the pump shotgun. The music in this update was very meh. Didn’t like the songs on Kult FM too much, maybe because I’m not into rock that much and kinda used to listening to pop songs and some Broadway musicals here and there. Couldn’t really judge Still Slippin since I need to be in a specific area of the map to listen to it, I haven’t been around Mirror Park in awhile, so I just went back to putting the music on mute and turning on blast LMP on Spotify (Owl House fans you know what I mean). It doesn’t really help that Rockstar is drip feeding radios and music too, since Still Slippin won’t be broadcasted to the entire map until a few more weeks. Maybe when it’s finally released for the entire map then I’ll take a listen. That one Moodymann song they played for the trailer goes hard and I’m sure his other works go hard too; too bad no one goes to the Music Locker, which is literally a stripped down version of our nightclubs under the casino. Come to think of it, music and nightclubs are a major part of this update, making me think Rockstar just wanted to do an After Hours Pt. 2. Overall, the Cayo Perico was had the potential to be one of the best updates the game has ever seen: a map expansion for us to explore, but we were given a heist with ruthless AI and mediocre to subpar content to make up for it. As it stands, it might be one of my least favorite updates, not living up to the community’s expectations whilst being quite content dry.
Closing thoughts on Cyberpunk 2077 after getting my platinum. (Spoilers)
After 80 hours of playing on PS5, I got my platinum trophy. Cyberpunk 2077 is really good, albeit pretty buggy, throughout my playthrough on PS5, my game crashed probably 50+ times but I wasn't too mad as I manually saved frequently and any progress blocking bugs were fixed after a quick load of a checkpoint. I played as a Male Street Kid V and I didn't mind his VO, there were times where he came off as kind of a try-hard tough guy but It honestly felt charmingly dorky because of the moments where V is just being himself and isn't being that dorky try-hard; And while the life-paths ultimately didn't impact anything major, I enjoyed the flavor dialog you get when the life-path exclusive options pop up, some even opened up different way of completing certain quests, which I thought was pretty neat. The gameplay felt good to me after some tinkering around with the sensitivity options, I mainly just used power weapons and only really used Skippy as a Smart weapon and I really liked how punchy the sound of guns were; melee was fine for an fps game, though I didn't like how magnetized some of the enemies attacks were, so regardless if you dodged, you still risked a hit; parrying felt weird, I feel like it only worked half the time and when it did, it was when I was nowhere near for a good hit; kinda wish there was some kind of grappling to mix things up between light and heavy attacks. Looting, I felt had issues, I always grabbed something that was way far off to the side of the thing I was actually trying to grab, it was even worse when it was a gun under a body where you had to find a sweet spot to grab it. I rarely dabbled in crafting if only to get Comrade's Hammer and Overwatch to Legendary but there are things I hope they add in the future, mainly batch crafting for things like ammo and grenades rather than holding square for 10 minutes just to have a decent amount, also a counter to see how much of that item you already have would definitely be helpful for things like ammo crafting. I REALLY wished this game had more to offer in terms of customization, there was no customization options for vehicles, for guns you only really get scopes and muzzles for things that appear on certain weapons along with mods which are purely for stats, there's so many decent options for outfits but you tend to be forced into having clothes that look bad but have better stats and mod slots and not something that's cool to you, hopefully transmog gets added along with barber shops and plastic surgeons. Also, a little nitpick of mine, but the lack of cloth physics on coats for V was kinda sad, its definitely possible as River and Takemura's coats have physics applied to them, maybe its just a PS4 version issue and it'll be something they might add with the next-gen version but I honestly doubt it. Cars handled fine for me and I really liked the look and feel of some of the cars, even the more luxurious cars that I tend to avoid in most open world games. In the beginning, the driving felt like a more manageable, better handling version of GTA IV but as I got better with it, it clicked to me, its JUST Saint Row 2's driving which I really liked because I feel like SR2 has the best driving controls in any open world game. Night City and the Badlands were really masterfully created, each area had their own style that really appealed to me and I look forward to how much better they can look in the next-gen version; I can't say I have any areas that I would consider my favorite as I really enjoyed the map as a whole but there was nothing that really grabbed me like the West End in Vampyr for example. The story was REALLY FUCKING GOOD! All of the characters felt real and really fit with the character of V, I really liked how much V grows throughout the story from being a cocky street kid to someone who cares about the people close to him but is scared of his situation. Johnny starts as an obnoxious asshole but you can definitely tell that V changes him to be a better person (at least in my game), and you start to sympathize with his actions and reasonings and he becomes a really likeable and funny character in most of the side missions; And his ending where he takes over V is just sad, loses the guy he was trying to save and Rouge, I interpreted that ending as Johnny getting a second chance at life he didn't want and while he probably doesn't want to ruin this second chance, he's more than likely mentally checked out and is just waiting for his time to come. Keanu did a really good job with Johnny and I honestly can't think of anyone who would have done a better job. I really like Judy, she such a bittersweet character, she loses Evelyn, who she definitely had feelings for, tries to help the workers at Clouds but gets screwed over by someone with ulterior motives and as an end result decides to leave NC, looking for her happiness, and judging from her texts and ending message, she does. (except the Suicide ending, loses the girl she had feeling for and one of her closest friends both to suicide, even though I romanced Panam, Judy's message hit the hardest and was incredibly sad) Panam, in my opinion, on top of being a great character in general, has the best romanceable storyline in a video game, with Jack from ME2 being a close 2nd; the whole relationship dynamic between Panam and V felt natural and made you feel invested in the character, from two people reluctantly paired together by Rouge due to similar objectives and keeping things strictly professional even when V awkwardly flirts with her, and you start to get closer and become friends when you help her with Aldecaldo problems, but then "With a little help from my friends" happens, the "follow your impulses" comment that V makes that Panam follows through with later on was an interesting way of V giving her hints on his feelings, the biggest moment that completely sells the relationship, happens during the campfire; early in the mission, V can talk about Jackie to which Panam will say "I'll remember that" AND BOY DOES SHE REMEMBER THAT, during the campfire, you can toast to Scorpion, an Aldecaldo who died earlier in the questline, everyone, including V toast to Scorpion... except Panam who says "to Jackie", that moment sold me on Panam as a love interest, she cares about V so much that she toasted to a guy she never met just off of the basis that V told her how close he and Jackie were and that he missed him, everything before that was nice but that was just the cherry on top, after that everything is just heart warming and cute as they both completely go all in on their relationship, and the Nomad ending reinforces this but I'll touch on that later. River was really cool, I dug his character and questline (which is insanely fucked up, but really cool), I laughed when his sister was flirting with V and Rivers like "Nope, bro-code", he's also got a SICK coat. I didn't like Kerry at first, he seemed like a complete douche, gets you to hijack and burn an band equipment van because someone was covering his song, then drags us into helping him intimidate Us Cracks who where just trying to pay homage and respect to him, after the moment where he understood and accepted that, he became a much better character; trashing the yacht was a pretty fun moment too. Vik was basically the Uncle character, he cares about V but isn't afraid to hit him with reality, I immediately payed my tab as he deserved it IMO, the fact he also gives V a tip during the final Beat the Brat fight was cool given his history in boxing. Misty is an absolute sweet heart, you bond with her over Jackie's death and you can tell how important she meant to him and vice-versa, getting her to bond with Mama Wells was neat too, her telling you stories about Jackie while your trying to find something for his memorial was really cool. Takamura was cool, I dug the moments you can tell V's attitude rubbed off on him, even though you can tell that he's 100% Arasaka, I felt that he would accept you as a friend even if you have different opinions on Arasaka than him (he doesn't, tells you to burn in hell). That parade mission was really cool and the selfie he sends you, 10/10. I wish we had more time with Jackie, he seemed like a really cool character and experiencing those moments of growth between Jackie and V and meeting Misty and Mama Wells would have been great and really would have made that moment with Panam feel even better had we had more time with Jackie in the beginning as the bond between Jackie and V would have meant more when he does unfortunately die. The endings vary from absolutely depressing all the way to heartwarming and hopeful. The suicide ending fucking sucks in the best way, V believing that killing himself is the best way of keeping those he cares about safe and ending his situation with Johnny, but the messages speak otherwise; Misty telling Vik to send a message as a way of coping, Mama Wells praying for you as she probably felt like she just lost two sons in V and Jackie, Judy... fucking hell man, couldn't imagine what was going through her head during that message, Panam's rage at realizing that the man she loved killed himself even though she offered to help him with his situation, River understanding as his previous partner suffered the same fate but also knows its incredibly sad that there's one less good person in NC, Kerry being pissed that V felt that suicide was the right choice as he probably understood as Kerry was in a similar situation and was disappointed V didn't know better and Misty being mournful. I already touched on the Johnny ending, but I honestly feel bad for Johnny because he didn't ask for a second chance and now he has to live with V and Rogue's deaths on his conscience, on top of probably burning any and all bridges with V's friends and loved ones. The Arasaka ending is some borderline horror shit, being trapped in space with a corp who's researching your condition with probable ulterior motives, having nightmares because of the repetitive testing, calling your friends who tell you they miss you and to come back home (though, Panam was pissed when I called her) and in the end you have two choices, sell your soul and become an engram for an unknown amount time to Arasaka who probably wont give a shit about you after that or go back to earth and wait out the remaining time you have left. Become a legend of Night City but ultimately feel you have nothing to lose as you'll die soon anyway and take an offer from Mr. Blue Eyes (Who's incredibly sketchy) to rob a space casino for info he wants. Nomad Ending is the best ending IMO, not only because I romanced Panam which made the ending even better (and I know that if Female V romances Judy, she joins the Aldecaldo's as well and is also a really good, feel good ending) but also because it left more opportunity for a DLC Expansion than the other endings as well as a satisfying ending to V's story as a whole; the night before the raid was really nice, testing out the new systems on the basilisk with Mitch and the bottle challenge with Cassidy were cool but that's all I could do as the rest of the activities during this were glitched, cuddling with Panam on the overlook was nice, her getting some stress off her chest and V reassuring Panam that he cares about her and will be there for her no matter what was really sweet; the raid was cool, I was hoping Mitch didn't die when he went back to pilot the basilisk solo and I'm glad he didn't die as I grew to like him as basically a Nomad Vik, Saul dying kinda sucked as he seemed to be cooling down his ego and wanting to work things out with Panam for the betterment of the Aldecaldos but Adam stomping his head in was funny, at least Rouge got to blow him up before she dies in Johnny's ending; the moment at the Dam between V and Panam was nice, V saying that he's glad he met Panam and the Aldecaldos and that he has nothing left in Night City, and the moment with them on top of the basilisk was cute; the messages were nice during this ending, though I was kinda disappointed Judy has the same message for all of the non-suicide endings, Misty's Tarot reading message is incredibly important as to why I think Nomad is the best ending, there's already a bunch of threads that touch on that but it definitely says a lot when its the only ending that gives V a shred of a chance that he might cure his disease and survive. Overall, I really enjoyed my time with Cyberpunk 2077, I'd probably place it as my second game of the year (with Tony Hawk's Pro-Skater 1+2 being my personal GOTY) due to bugs but I know In due time that the game will be something really great by the end of its life span and i hope that if a Cyberpunk 2 does happen, it'll be even better than Cyberpunk 2077; I haven't been able to get this game out of my head since I started playing it and I cannot wait to do this all over again when the PS5 version and all the DLC's come out.
CDPR lied to you. They lied to all of us. We should be angry. We should be mad.
Developers of one of the best game of the released year - Witcher 3 - was a front that clouded our thoughts and allowed us to blindly trust them as soon as they announced Cyberpunk 2077. Then they lied. Throughout many months and even years - CDPR released trailers, gameplays, and even more of Cyberpunk 2077 and sold us lies of an interactive open world gameplay with pretty much doing "whatever" you wanted. The so-called "next-gen" of gaming. The truth is, their marketing team used the advantage of their status and previous achievement to sell us the lies, so we can't exactly blame the developers directly but they still take some fault for it. The game is out and people are more worried about the amount of bugs and glitches they face, but that's not the main problem. The problem is how they gave us a beautifully designed open world game - only for the entire world to not be functional at all. You literally can travel everywhere around the world, but can't exactly do anything. You have no control over anything. Only a select few of NPCs are approachable and the majority of these are vendors. They sold us trailers and gave us an idea that this game will be somewhat a futuristic style of GTA. They even released a trailer showing "You want a supercar? You want a big house? You want to be best?" and yet, we can't even purchase a house or "upgrade" in lifestyle. The only upgrade we can actually get is buying cars with limited amount of money we can get in the game - no repeatable gigs, heist, side quests, and more. For months, people discussed about the first thing they will do when they get the game, or how they will play the game, or what they will achieve - only to be truly disappointed and blinded by the amount of bugs we received on release and forgetting about what we actually wanted within the game. The game is extremely limited with the choices you have, it's a straight forward line without the options to exactly do "whatever you wanted". The open world is big and beautifully designed but only to be non-functional, useless, and a waste of time. So CDPR can go ahead and say they will fix the bugs & glitches and that's the easy part, but that's not even the main problem. The problem are things that are too late to add and most likely won't implement it, which is actually creating a functional open world. Be it making it rain at a strip club or gambling at a casino. Committing a crime for big pay day or respecting the law. That's what "night city" should have been about. They sell so many sexual ideology in the game, but limit your character to only 1 specific gender of NPCs. Highly underwhelming and truly disappointing. CDPR lied to all of us and that's what we should be pissed off about, not the glitches or bugs, but the game itself. The most anticipated game of the year happened to be a complete lie, a huge letdown, and undeserving.
Just about had it with GTA online. I just tried to start up another casino Heist in order to get the cash I needed for the Submarine. Before when I encountered a glitch I couldn't deliver the two sentinels but NOW I can't even enter the guts of the FIB building. The security barriers just won't let me through. Can't jump over them or jump over the little wall next to them. I eventually stay too long in a guards FoV and get shot and killed. Seriously RTurd, fix your shit before you release new content.
We know you like to watch this subreddit, so if you don't like game breaking glitches like the casino chip etc, why don't you fix your game instead of constantly complaining about the players who glitch? I'm not turning anti-glitch here and I still support it but if they don't like us glitching, why don't they fix their game? Edit: Suggestions: Make GTA 6 In GTA 6 make it so we don't need to spam A/X to sprint fix GTA 5
Last night, I got into my Kosatka for the first time. I immediately got a call from Tom Connors to do some work for a dj. Awesome! Do the whole mission, and at the end I deliver it into the yellow circle....and nothing happens. So then I find a new session, see a business battle and go after it. Fight for the cargo, get back to my nightclub...it won’t deliver. Got pissed off and went to sleep. Woke up Christmas morning a little early and hopped on gta. Did a casino heist prep, got what I needed, lost the cops...won’t fucking deliver. Find new session. Try a different prep. Still won’t fucking deliver. I know this has been happening with business battles a lot recently, but Jesus fucking Christ. Is the game effectively unplayable? You can still do missions but can’t get the reward??? I know Rockstar has a history of spending all their time on updating new stuff and no time fixing glitches (except for money exploits). But without fixing this problem the game has become not worth the time. I have been playing almost every single day for years now. It pisses me off that I can’t fucking complete missions anymore because of a terrible glitch that is now effecting new content, old content, everything. Micro transactions are highly based on a reward vs. time scheme within the game. But does Rockstar understand that when you can’t make anything because of bullshit glitches in the game, people aren’t going to cave and buy shark cards for a game where you can’t do the fucking missions in the game. They’re just not going to play your retarded shitty game. (It’s an incredible game, just an absolutely fucking retard of a greedy developer)
MOC Car dupe glitch; I've done it ~50 times. I wrote a guide using what I learned.
SOLO CAR DUPLICATION GLITCH USING MOBILE OPERATIONS CENTER This is the first GTA guide I have ever made. I don't know who discovered this glitch, I first learned about it from here. What I wrote below is intended to be an ELI5 guide, leaving out no possible questions. Things you need to do this glitch: Mobile Operations Center, which needs a Bunker first. Faggio ($5k from SSSA). A car that will be duplicated (one that sells for big $$). I will be duping a Weeny Nightmare Issi arena war car that has maximum upgrades applied, which sells for a little over $1.7mil. The process: First, in a public lobby, go to the casino parking lot area. This is where you'll be doing the glitch. Open Your phone and go to Southern San Andreas Super Autos. Sort by price, then buy a $5k Faggio, it should be in the second row down. When prompted where to store it, choose your Mobile Operations Center. Wait for the message that says your Faggio has been delivered to pop up. In the meantime you can call your car to be duped. When the Faggio is delivered, get out of your car and change your outfit (to force a game save). You should see a spinning orange circle on the bottom right of your screen. Once you are that far, go to the settings menu and then online and down to and select Creator. Accept the prompt and the game will load into creator mode. Once in creator mode, scroll down to and only highlight "Leave to GTA V". Press the menu button and then scroll right to Online, and highlight Solo Session. Now what you're going to do is select go to invite only session, but the menu will bring you back to the creator mode menu for a brief instant. In that brief instant, you will select return to GTA V. To do this just spam your select button (A on Xbox). Don't worry about the prompts that pop up, just spam that button and then you'll get to a loading screen in the clouds. At this point, at least on Xbox, the game will freeze. You can work around this just by going to your home screen for a few seconds, and then back to GTA V. The screen will flash black for a second and then start loading you into the glitched game mode we need. You should spawn with your car next to you in the casino parking lot. Do not get in your car yet. Call your MOC. It doesn't matter if the MOC spawns in the parking lot or in the front of the casino, either way works. Once the MOC spawns, get in your car and try to drive into the back of the MOC (where the blue circle is). Accept the prompt to put the Faggio into a garage. At this point the game will glitch. Your trailer will be going crazy and everyone that was by the front of the casino will be hovering in the air. To get out of the fixed camera glitched game, kill yourself. You can either do this from the select menu or you can get out of your car, run away from it a little bit and set a sticky bomb on the ground and blow yourself up. When you respawn, get into the cab of your MOC and move it to an area where the blue circle still appears behind the trailer, but if you imagine the door folding down, there needs to be something in the way of that. Like this, or how you see here, or this will also work. Now jump out of the MOC and back into your car, drive it into the back of the MOC again. This time you should spawn outside of the MOC, still sitting in your car. If you get this far, congratulations the glitch worked! If you didn't spawn inside your vehicle outside of the MOC, don't worry, just try dismiss your car and MOC and then call them both and try it again. Get out of the car and change your outfit so that it forces a quick save. You can verify that the vehicle has been duplicated by trying to buy another Faggio. It should show the duplicated car in your MOC when you try to store it there. Back out of the menus. now call your mechanic and see if the original car is still in the place you have it stored. If both of these are true, make sure your game is saved by doing one more outfit swap. You can no select "Leave GTA Online", and then from single player mode you can go to a public lobby session. Once you are loaded back in the normal public lobby, return your vehicle to storage. From that same menu go to Services and MOC then "Request personal vehicle". Now the duplication of your car will spawn. Now you can go sell it or do whatever you want with it, you have two. Video of Success

Gambling
As this is a Casino-centric update, there's plenty of ways to gamble away your hard-grinded money. The gambling in this game centers around a new form of currency, called Chips. These chips are pretty much like real-world gambling chips, with a one-to-one dollar value, except you keep your chips when you leave the casino. Chips are an actual currency in GTA Online, as they can be used to purchase exclusive items from a shop inside the casino, along with being used to bet with when playing the Gambling Games, listed below
Slot Machines: There's plenty of options to choose from, but they all perform the same way. Spend some chips, and let the RNG decide whether or not you earn anything from it.
Blackjack: Casino style blackjack with up to four simultaneous players, all of which play against the dealer. Anyone who beats the dealer individually wins, anyone who the dealer beats individually loses, and if the dealer gets Blackjack (an Ace and 10/face-card), everyone immediately loses. Assuming your initial hand isn't a Blackjack, you have the option of doubling-down, which doubles your initial bet with the caveat of only being able to hit once.
Poker: Three-card poker. You make your bets, check your hand, and similar to Blackjack, each player wins if their hand is better than the dealer's, and the dealer beats whoever has a worse hand than him. While there is no option to double-down, how much you win does depend on how good of a hand you have. The better your hand, the more you win. Also, while you can fold your hand, you lose your initial bet anyway.
Horse Racing: Pretty much standard horse racing bettering. You choose a horse, you put your money down, and if you bet correctly, you get double the amount you bet in return. Otherwise, you just lose the amount you bet.
To gain more chips, there is a counter inside the casino where you can buy them, however you are limited in how many you can buy per day (real-world 24 hours). As standard, you can buy a maximum of 20,000 chips per day, but if you own a penthouse of any tier, you can buy up to 50,000 chips per day. Chips can also be traded in for money, but there does not appear to be a limit on this. No matter how many chips you win from gambling, it appears that you can trade them all in at once for the equivalent dollar value. Lastly, there is the Wheel. It's a roulette wheel that you can only spin once per day, which costs $500 per spin. There are twenty reward slots, and since some rewards are in multiple slots, they have greater chances of being selected. The biggest note about this wheel however is that there is one slot in which you can win a free car! What makes this so significant is that since the car takes a 1/20 slot on the wheel, that means you still have a 5% chance of winning a free high-value vehicle! Compared to most online games, that's pretty much the most generous RNG you can get.

FAQ
Are there any differences between the penthouses For once, yes! Well, technically... they're the same basic property layout, but each option gives you different addon options.
The Cash Pad: The basic Penthouse with no property addons available . You cannot purchase a garage, extra bedroom, lounge, etc. with the Cash Pad. You can, however, purchase penthouse customizations (colour and wall patterns).
The Party Penthouse: Gives you certain of the addon options: the main Penthouse, the Extra Bedroom, the Lounge Area, the Spa, and the Bar and Party Hub. You are locked to these options, no more, no less.
The High Roller: Gives you all of the property addons as standard, and the most expensive penthouse customization options... this means that you cannot choose your own colour and wall patterns with this version.
The "Design Your Own": ...What should be the standard option. It gives you the basic penthouse and allows you to choose which addons and customizations you want, with an extra cost for each one, of course. Just get this one. You can also renovate this option later, allowing you to purchase more addons and change your customizations later.
What do the Penthouse Addons do?
Lounge Area: Allows you to purchase the other Penthouse Addons (except for the Extra Bedroom and Garage, which are the only items addons that can be purchased without a Lounge).
Media Room: You know the cinemas around Los Santos? The ones that play a few 5 minute animated films on repeat? That, but in a Penthouse.
Spa: Gives you access to a hot tub and a Personal Stylist. The Stylist's services are the same as the ones spread around Los Santos (hair, contacts, and make up), but they're all free.
Bar and Party Hub: Allows you to consume drinks that instantly intoxicate your character, along with access to special arcade games that aren't available anywhere else in the game.
Private Dealer: Allows you to play gambling games in your penthouse.
Office: Adds a standard computer, a Gun Locker, and a money vault (don't get excited, it's just aesthetic).
Extra Bedroom: Bedrooms in owned properties in GTA Online are used as spawn points, so why can you pay to have an extra one? Because you can now allow a friend of yours to claim it! The Extra Bedroom allows a friend of yours to use your penthouse as a spawn apparently, though the exact implementation of this is not completely clear.
Garage: Access to the Penthouse's garage bay.
How do I get the armored car?
To recieve the Enus Paragon R (Armoured), you have to complete the Diamond Casino's mission series, which you must own a penthouse to access. Once of the missions are complete, you'll be given the vehicle for free! But remember, it's uninsured and you only get it once, so immediately go into passive mode and take it to the nearest Los Santos Customs to insure it, or else you could lose the vehicle permanently.
Passive Mode
Good news, passive mode has been fixed!
Passive Mode can now no longer be active when using a weaponized vehicle
A Passive Mode cooldown of 2 minutes is now in place for players who have just killed another player
Players now must wait 5 minutes before they can activate Passive Mode again after disabling it
Players now must wait 30 seconds before they can disable Passive Mode after activating it
These changes make is so that grievers can no longer abuse passive mode, or at least no where near as easily. If you start to get the upper-hand on a griefer and destroy whatever death-machine they're using to troll you, or if you confront them in a death-machine of your own, they can't abuse Passive Mode to try to get the upper-hand on you!
Solo Session
Check the Mega Guide for ways to push yourself into a public Online session with no one else in it. Keep in mind that some missions and abilities are unavailable if there's no one else with you though!
Bugs and Glitches
Apparently on PS4 and Xbox One, you must have full size of GTA V available to download the update, so if you have less than ~60GB free, you may have trouble downloading the update. This does not mean that the entire game is re-downloaded, it just means that the update may not download if you don't have that much space available.

How GTA Online turned from a great game to a complete money syphoning clusterf*ck
Don't get me wrong, I still love to play GTA Online to this day but it disapoints me what it turned to and how it changed alot since 2013 into much worse. Let's talk about online connectivity which is main problem. It takes literally 15 minutes just to get kicked back to SP due Rockstar's crappy P2P online which in-hand is one reason why whole lobby becomes buggy and glitchy when somebody joins with terrible connection. Rockstar hasn't also bothered to improve that and their cloud servers that fail every evening. Just to top it off with infinite loading screens that occur very often causing players to totally reboot their game and waste of more of their time just for game to be stuck at loading screen again. Futurization has improved the game and extended its lifespan but gave griefers and tryhards new toys to fuck with low levels, afk players basically everyone on lobby. Some of futuristic vehicles were great and helped people defend themselves and grind faster and better but some completely ruined freemode such as Oppressor MK2 (not a bad vehicle at all, actually one of best grinding vehicles, the only problem are people who abuse it to kill everybody in lobby). Orbital cannon has indeed really ruined freemode and grinding forever. Just imagine this, you're selling 111 crates of special cargo in public session probably to avoid super accurate NPC I'm gonna talk about later, and all that hard work just to be blown up by some kid ducking in his facility spending money he got from his mommy's credit card. There's no occasion and awareness to know when you're gonna get orbed unless you're checking for people who are in facilities. People might say that 750k to kill somebody is balanced, uhmmm not. People can just leave immediatly after they orb someone and rejoin back with their money still there and no cooldown at all. And problem is, it cannot be patched cause it's cloud server exploit. Great job Rockstar !!! Glitches are also one big problem GTA has been struggling. I don't have anything against people who glitch their money but people who glitch to be un-killable or to destroy somebody's cargo immediatly are worst. There are glitches that let you go godmode and ones that let you teleport which have not been patched for years. There are also glitches that completely ruin your game such as Titan glitch and are also left alone for years. Rockstar clearly ignores these glitches and patches ones that are harmless and money making just to save Shark Card sales. It's incredible to see game company having their mouth full open for money. They became too greedy even more than EA and Activision combined together. Talking about patching glitches, Rockstar has double standards when it comes to releasing hotfixes. Remember duffel sale bag mission ?? It had one very rare bug that was able to be fixed easy but what Rockstar did ??? They completely removed the mission leaving us stuck with terrible missions such as Post Op van one. They bugged Bombushka cargo door after seeing players use it for grinding and patched the Avenger crate glitch only because players made boring and repetitive 3 crate mission faster !!! They also made hotfix to Casino Heist adding rock in middle of nowhere. They blocked vault door and added additional guards on race track after noticing people finishing casino heist fast. They have also patched gender change glitch which was just changing character gender for 100k !!! They have done alot more but I'm not gonna mention anymore harmless things patched. When it comes to cargo-griefing, that's what annoys me. Rockstar is completely PROMOTING cargo griefing to players just so they can increase their shark card sales. When you try to defend yourself, you lose 10k and get badsport, but griefer gets only 2k after destroying 1 mil goods. Rockstar actually supports that acting unaware about many players complaining about cargo griefing. This is not how you gain playerbase Rockstar, this is just how you lose them in matter of a seconds. Anti-cheat system is almost to non-existent. People can easily bypass the anti-cheat system and bomb lobbies by using mod menus. Those also get away with bans when innocent players get their characters reset for no reason. How in the hell can you let modders have fun destroying the game while innocent players are just trying to play the way it's meant to be played ??? Talking about casino chips glitch bans, isn't Rockstar overreacting too much ?? Players exploit your game to get money due to boring, terrible and repetitive grinding. Instead of patching the glitch, you go out and ban everybody who just gets penny from it ?!?!? I'm never gonna understand. AI is another lazy-developed thing with this game. NPC's have ridicously good aim, rapid fire and sped up animations making every mission pain in the ass. Not only that, they'll even manage to headshot you blinding firing or from very far distance. What about traffic AI also ? It seems like that they're programmed to crash into you everytime you're doing I/E. Has Rockstar even tested their game before releasing not knowing about problems that will occur ?? Probably not... And last but not least, overpriced items. This has angered many players causing them to buy shark cards so you can get money. Why the hell supercar that's gonna be used once costs +2 mil. Why the hell bodysuits and even more irrelevant clothes cost +300k. Why do many vehicles that are already expensive need to have even more expensive paywalls ??? Well two words, shark cards. Arena update was pretty much worst serving as Rockstar's money laundering scheme due to terribly overpriced items and vehicles. Isn't 1.4 mil for RC car too much ?? Bonus thing we have is Casino resort. Rockstar just dropped the ball with it as they PROMOTED GAMBLING !!!! You can get in-game money with real money, then convert that money into chips you're gonna lose in matter of seconds cause whole Casino is rigged to boost up shark card sales. That is in-game gambling being almost the same as REAL gambling. No wonder Casino is blocked in half of the world countries. This is gonna be the end of my opinion. There are much more things to cover but this feels already more than enough needed. Read this and get it to yourself that Rockstar became what they parodied about in past.

Pay more attention to Red dead Online. Literally so many people are getting bored of the game and it's going to die soon. Pay more attention to Red dead online. It has a lot more potential then gta online does.
Before a big update comes out Rockstar should come out with a massive bug fixer update/ quality of life update. Then we won't have all those new glitches in the next update.
Private servers. Just accept that animal spawns are only good in lobbies without to many people. Rockstar's dream is for all of us to be together yet animals never spawns and greifer's are out of control. This would benefiet the game a lot.

GTA is an amazing game and easily the most earning of all time. But now it’s being ruined by rockstar themselves. There’s so many things wrong in the game that don’t make sense or just shouldn’t exist. In fact, it costs 60 dollars to buy a helicopter and a plane. Sixty dollars, that’s still hours of grinding in the game and in real life. Then the vehicles rockstar is adding, about half a year ago (i don’t know when) a flying hover bike was added to the game that has missiles that cannot miss. This little bike overpowers nearly anything in the game with its missiles. It can destroy a hydra or an insurgent in just a couple shots. It’s gotten to a point where cars are considered useless depending on the amount of rockets they can take. Think of the ruiner 2000, it used to be a fun vehicle to ride around and climb buildings until it could be destroyed In a single explosive. The Deluxo also exists, but it’s so expensive and slow it’s just a minor problem. But then, it’s on the casino wheel and you can get it for free with a glitch. But don’t worry rockstar will patch the glitch before it’s overly abused. End of the week comes, it’s not fixed, the next one. And ever since it hasn’t been fixed. The sad thing is that it’s been in the game for so much longer before that. You would thing glitches like the casino chip glitch would be patched. Now this one was heavily “guarded” you have a major chance of getting your account reset after doing this. But what stops them from doing it again and again until they don’t get banned. Now let me go back to the shark card problem. 60 dollars will get you a helicopter and a plane. Which I already mentioned, but did I mention that everything entire car in the game and plane and jet and property and upgrade for avenger terrobyte and so much more. Everything in the game would cost you. Drumroll please, over 5700 dollars. Wow, now why would you do that when you could get access to everything in the game including infinite cash glitches special vehicles and fucking transformers made of cars. For just, 30, dollars. MODDERS. It’s a nice first impression on new players trying to get into the game when the second they join they are either getting trillions of dollars in seconds or they are being trapped in cages and blown up. Now I think it’s obvious rockstar is only in it for the money so if this doesn’t motivate them nothing will. IF THEY HAVE TRILLIONS THEY WONT BUY SHARK CARDS. I play on Xbox so modders are extremely rare for me and are one in a billion but when you do find them they are ruthless. This game is getting so many new vehicles that break the game that the gta map is almost seeming small to me. I mean really when you can fly around the map in seconds. Then pvp is a joke. Drugs make your gun stronger, people blow themselves up before dying, there are so many people that fight for their KDr that they get scared when you drive next to them with an rc car and immediately kill themselves. R* has done some things to patch these. For example there is a cool down on killing yourself and going into passive mode after shooting people. But instead they just blow themselves up. There are so many other problems that I don’t even want to begin trying to type out and I’m getting most of it from this video. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=F-artC4LNV4 Good lord the problems and carelessness with this game is horrible, I’m a level 124 and I play daily and grind casino heists with my friends I’ve never glitches for money or spent money on the game. Only glitch I’ve ever done is to get deluxo on the wheel. (Look there’s no way to resist that) And it hurts me to see this games community to go to shit there are so many bad things about it that I question if they even have internet to see us complain But Good Lord This game has gone to shit and I hope gta6 is better and bigger https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=F-artC4LNV4 If you can’t click that link the video is called The problem with GTA online Have a sexy day
It's take two, rockstar, and the players. Let's be real and this might be a karma suicide but who cares. The reason rockstar and take two are greedy assholes is cause the Ayers support everything they do. For example, casino update, EVERYONE was asking for the casino update and when it came out alot of people got mad a rockstar for inputting something the players have been asking for years. Take two are just hella cheap and unless you guys vote with your wallets take two will still not give a shit about their servers, bugs that affect player sales like the titan glitch? I'm 100% sure that rockstar will easily fix all the glitches or most that are common or complained about if the players start some boycott or do something to force their hand. The paywalls the rapidly inflating prices in GTA online is being supported by the players who complain about this stuff. For some of you this will be a very hard pill to swallow but let's be real, if players stop playing and stop buying shark cards rockstar will listen to us, but no instead you want to complain about how everything is over prices and there are to many paywalls as you actively support them by buy sharkcards. Everyone was mad about GTA V being re-released on the PS5 but you will still support them. As I said, vote with your wallets because that is what will make them listen. EDIT: before your u say this is some sorta attack on the GTA community, no this isnt, I love this community and just wanna see the game get better.
I haven't seen a good comprehensive guide for this, despite it being the best money making method in the game, so I thought I'd write a guide about it.
What is the Casino Heist and why should I do it?
The Casino Heist is semi-challenging PvE content for 2-4 players. As of August 2020 it's the best paying grind in the game, paying out $1.5-$2 million split between heist members every hour and a half. If you're doing setups with one friend, you're both effectively earning ~$80k per setup mission. If you have no friends who play GTA:O, try to find a buddy in game or on HeistTeams It's possible to get even higher payouts, but discussing glitches is against the rules of this subreddit; go to gtaglitches for that stuff.
Getting Started
To do the Casino Heist you need an Arcade, preferably Eight-Bit (Vinewood) or Videogeddon (La Mesa) as they're the closest to the Casino and setup missions. Not required, but strongly recommended as they'll make setup missions much easier:
A good gun, such as Special Carbine
A bulletproof car for gunfights, such as Armored Kuruma
An aircraft with homing missiles, such as Buzzard Attack Chopper or Oppressor Mk2
Scoping and Vault Contents
All Points of Interest All Access Points Cash has the worst payout (up to $2.1 mil). You will always get cash the first time you host the Casino Heist. Art has middling payout (up to $2.3 mil) but is very fast to steal, which means you can get detected, or hit the vault with fewer players, and still get the maximum take. Gold is like cash but gives much better payout (up to $2.6 mil), with the disadvantage of making you run slightly slower when you leave the vault. Diamonds only appear during special events, but have the highest payout for vault contents (up to $3.6 mil).
Choosing Approaches
The Big Con is the best approach, since the security tunnel entrance + Gruppe Sechs disguise takes you straight to the vault. Always choose it when possible. Silent & Sneaky is like The Big Con, but is more difficult and takes longer. Aggressive is relatively fast, but gives less time in the vault, making it much harder to get the maximum take for any target except Art. In general, you should choose Aggressive for Art, The Big Con for other targets, and Silent & Sneaky only as a last resort. You should also choose Hard mode whenever possible as it gives you a 25% higher take.
Support Crew
Your Hacker is the most important support crew member, as they determine how long you have in the vault, and therefore your maximum take. My go-to is Paige Harris, who you unlock by owning a Terrorbyte. Avi Schwartzman is equally good and can be unlocked by destroying all Signal Jammers. If you don't have either of them, Christian Feltz is a decent stopgap measure; just be aware you'll have a good chance of missing out on profits. The Driver determines your getaway vehicles, and is largely irrelevant since most people ignore the getaway vehicles and jack a car or a helicopter for their escape. I always go with Karim Denz and source the Sentinel Classic. It's only worth getting a more expensive driver if you want to unlock a car's trade price. The Gunman determines the weapons you'll be using in the run. Again, mostly irrelevant, since Karl Abolaji's weapon loadouts are good enough even for a Hard Aggressive approach. Only get a more expensive gunman if you're going Aggressive and aren't confident in your headshotting skills or those of your crew.
Optional Preps
I don't recommend paying to skip any of the preps, because it eats significantly into your profits, and unlike MC/bunker missions, you can't easily make back the cost by doing other missions in that time.
Security Passes
Mandatory for every approach. Remember to get level 2 security passes, not level 1. The mission is very easy and saves you from having to do lots of annoying hacking minigames during the final heist.
Duggan Shipments
This is mandatory for Aggressive and Silent and Sneaky, as destroying at least 3 shipments will remove the bulletproof helmets from guards and allow them to be headshotted. Most people also do this for Big Con just to be safe. Having at least one other player in your organization, as well as a Buzzard or Oppressor Mk2, makes this mission very easy.
Security Intel
Unlocked after completing all Casino Penthouse missions, this is a once-off mission that reveals security cameras on the radar on all future casino heists. Do it when you unlock it.
Patrol Routes
Reveals guards on your radar. Not required, but useful on every approach, especially Silent & Sneaky. Do this if you have time.
EMP (Silent & Sneaky only)
This mission is relatively easy and the EMP saves a lot of headaches in a Silent & Sneaky run. Not required, but worth taking the time to do.
Boring Machine (Aggressive only)
This unlocks the best entry route for the Aggressive approach where you tunnel straight to the vault. Not required (Staff Lobby is almost as fast) but it makes the approach to the vault very easy.
Power Drills
Don't bother with this mission, other than to play through it once or twice for fun. The money from the deposit boxes isn't worth your time.
Exit Disguise (Big Con only)
These missions are annoying and the disguises aren't that helpful. Collecting all playing cards gives you a permanent exit disguise you can use; I recommend doing that instead and never having to worry about this prep.
Infiltration Suits (Silent & Sneaky only)
This mission gives you night vision. Basically, it's only useful if you plan on using the EMP but don't know the casino floor layout. Do it the first time you do a Silent & Sneaky run; by the second time, you should be experienced enough that you don't need it.
Reinforced Armor (Aggressive only)
This unlocks new outfits that reduce the damage you take during the heist finale. Personally, I hate this prep, because a) the mission is annoying, b) the finale is easy enough without it, and c) the armored outfits are ugly. Do it if you aren't confident in your shooting skills, or if you plan to do the heist with only two players.
Finale Screen
Buyer: Always choose the High Level buyer for the best payout. The only difference is that you have to drive or fly a few more miles after you lose the cops -- more than worth the extra percentage of the cut. Decoy: This makes the helicopter getaway slightly easier on the Aggressive approach, or if you screw up either of the other two approaches. I don't think it's worth the extra cost, but it could be worth it if you find yourself constantly having trouble getting to the helicopter. Clean Vehicle: Completely useless. Don't bother.
The Big Con
Entrance: Security Tunnel Exit: Staff Lobby
Go straight to the vault. Take your sweet time plundering it.
Take the stairs on the way up. You want to take the long corridor looping around the back, pass by the laundry room and pick up your exit disguises if they're there, then make a run for the staff lobby exit.
You will be busted if guards or cameras see you. The guards in the security office can't see you through the bulletproof glass, but you can be seen through the glass panels in the doors.
Melee kill the patrolling guards from behind and run through the cameras without staying in their cone of vision for too long.
Once you're out of the staff lobby exit, there will be a NOOSE van to your right. Head past it, melee killing the guards, and make your way to the main road. From there, you can run to your getaway vehicles or jack a random car off the road.
Silent & Sneaky
Entrance: Staff Lobby Exit: Staff Lobby
Take your time and have one person go ahead at a time. You want to make sure that you're headshotting guards with your silenced machine pistol, and using the stun gun on all cameras you pass by. If there are two guards next to each other, shoot them both in quick succession.
You will be busted if guards or cameras see you. The guards in the security office can't see you through the bulletproof glass, but you can be seen through the glass panels in the doors.
The daily take is worth getting if you have time.
You can use the Nano Drone in your inventory to shoot a tranquilizer dart. This is most useful on the guard patrolling the stairwell. Have your teammate wedge the door open, then fly the drone through the gap and down the stairs to knock the guard out.
If you got the EMP, you can use the SecuroServ app on your phone to activate it. This gives you 1 minute to book it and run past all guards, security doors, and cameras on a floor.
Once you're out of the staff lobby exit, there will be a NOOSE van to your right. Head past it, killing the guards, and make your way to the main road. From there, you can run to your getaway vehicles or jack a random car off the road.
Aggressive
Entrance: Sewer or Staff Lobby Exit: Staff Lobby
This is a straightforward gunfight. Just move from cover to cover and shoot everything that moves.
As always, use headshots to get instant kills. Even if you did all Duggan shipments and got an expensive gunman, the guards can take a ridiculous number of bullets to center of mass, so it's faster to aim for the head and take them out instantly.
The guards respawn continually, so it isn't possible to completely clear a floor out. Just keep moving.
The daily take is worth getting if you have time.
When exiting through the staff lobby, don't go straight through the security office or you'll be shot to pieces. Take the long way around instead.
Once you're out of the staff lobby exit, jump the fence to the racetrack and run straight across. If there are any cars in the parking lot to your left, jack them and drive out. Otherwise, keep going and jump the fence to the main road. From there, you can run to your getaway vehicles or jack a random car off the road.
The Getaway
No matter which approach you take, you'll eventually end up outside the casino, on the main road, with a 5 star wanted level. There are two main strategies people use here.
Sewer Tunnel: Directly south of the racetrack, in the storm drain, is the entrance of the sewer tunnel that Michael and Franklin escape through in story mode. If you drive in here and keep going, you'll eventually start losing your wanted level. Get out of the car and wait in the sewer until you're all clean. From there, it's an easy drive to the buyer -- just don't drive near the casino or you'll be wanted by the cops again. This is a safe but slow getaway.
Police Station Helicopter: Over the overpass to the west, directly across the highway from the casino, is the Vinewood Hills police station. It's possible to drive to the back of the building and climb from the grass patch up to the roof. There, you can climb the roof fixtures to get to the helipad, where a police helicopter usually spawns. Once everyone is in the helicopter, you can use it to evade the cops. This is a quick but more risky getaway, since the helicopter occasionally doesn't spawn, and you can get shot during the drive or fall off the roof if you're unlucky.
Bugs
Permanent Wanted Level
Bug: You're in a getaway vehicle far from any cops, but your wanted level won't go away. This happens because one of your heist teammates has high ping and the game is having trouble syncing your wanted levels. Fix: Have everyone get out of the vehicle and wait until the bug goes away. If you're in a helicopter with no safe place to land, the offending teammate(s) may have to parachute out.
Guards Spawning Late
Bug: On Silent & Sneaky, guards take a few moments to spawn in after you disable the metal detector. Fix: Don't go through the metal detector or shoot anyone until the guards finish spawning in.
Frozen Guard Patrols / Bugged Camera Movement
Bug: The guards in the casino aren't moving, and the cameras have weird movement patterns or are facing towards walls. Fix: Just keep going; this bug actually makes Silent & Sneaky / Big Con easier most of the time. If there's a frozen guard you can't get past, use the Nano Drone.
Disappearing Vision Cones During Getaway
Bug: You're getting away from the casino undetected when the vision cones suddenly disappear from your radar. Despite this, the police aren't coming after you. Fix: This is a visual glitch and you haven't actually been discovered. Just keep going.
Spectator Leaving
Bug: Someone joins as a spectator, then leaves. You screw up the heist and have to restart. Then you fail the heist because "Your heist team quit." Fix: Suck it up and reset.
Silent & Sneaky Body Found
Bug: You're suddenly busted because a body was found... even if you haven't killed anyone yet. Fix: Suck it up and reset.
Uncollectable Heist Prep Equipment
Bug: You're doing heist prep mission with a friend, and you can't pick up the equipment because "you can't steal heist prep while on a heist prep mission." Fix: Suck it up and reset.
Heist Prep Vehicle Not Registering
Bug: You collect a heist prep vehicle and drive to your arcade, but it doesn't trigger the end of the mission. Fix: Suck it up and reset. --- Hope someone out there finds this guide helpful. Comments and suggestions appreciated.
My thoughts on how the SP to MP unlimited casino chips trade-in glitch worked in GTA Online
Some of the steps in the glitch may not even be required, but nobody wanted to try skipping them in fear of having to do them all over again. Either way, here are the steps that needed to be followed in order to do this glitch, and below them are my thoughts on why they work.
Create a testable capture job
Set spawn location to motorcycle clubhouse
Join crew with nobody else in it
Replay "Fresh Meat"
Quickly run to bed to make game save
Reload your game save
Wait for the black screen to pop up
Close the black screen by holding down on the d-pad and analog stick then declining the new screen that pops up.
Wait for Simeon to call you but do not answer or hang up.
Call the number to go to directors mode and accept the prompt.
Leave the director's trailer as Franklin then kill yourself.
Exit back to story mode
You should respawn back in Michael's house as Franklin, but it is alright if you don't.
Make a quicksave
Go to the creator mode
Start up your capture job
Select the "choose character" option in the menu
Quickly disconnect your internet connection after accepting the alert.
Accept the next alert that pops up
Answer the call from Simeon
Go to director's mode while in the call with Simeon
Change the time of day and change Franklin's look then exit the trailer
Fast travel to the theater
Enter the theater to watch a movie
Reconnect your internet connection
Go back to casting trailer
Wait for the loading symbol in the bottom right of the screen while loading into the casting trailer then immediately go to a recent activity in GTA (through the PlayStation recent activities feed)
Click play on the recent activity then decline the alert that pops up in GTA
Do the same thing as before, but accept the alert this time
Immediately disconnect your internet connection
Reconnect your internet connection
Go to creator mode
Disconnect your internet connection
Accept the alert in the game
Click "Exit to GTA Online"
As soon as you get the black screen you will need to reconnect your internet connection
Do not go back into the game, but rejoin a recent activity
Go back into the game and click square to retry loading into GTA Online
Wait through the extra long loading screen
Decline the alert when you spawn in
Start "A Titan of a Job"
As soon as it fully loads you into the job, try loading into an offline character and decline the alert.
Click "Join crew members" and accept all of the alerts (remember that you must be in a crew alone or in a crew where nobody is online)
Walk to the dartboard in your motorcycle club house
Click "Join crew members" then spam right on the d-pad and x to accept the alert.
Redo what you just did when you load into the session
As soon as it says loading at the bottom right corner, disconnect your internet and reconnect it.
Stay on the internet screen for 40 seconds.
Go back to the game
Accept the alert
Try to load in as Franklin and decline the alert
Try to load in as Michael and decline the alert
Go to the casino and start trading in your chips
Step 4: I can't explain why completing "Fresh Meat" creates a glitched game other than the fact that something is just wrong with the code. I don't like to explain things this way because pretty much every glitch or bug can be described this way, but that's all I've got. Step 5: The reason you want to run to the bed as quickly as you can is because you want the glitched game to save. I assume you need to do this quickly because the code eventually rights itself and fixes the glitched save. Step 6: If you do not reload the game save then you will not be able to continue with the rest of this glitch. This is because reloading the save is what gets the game to think that you are Franklin. After reloading the save you will respawn as Franklin in Michael's house. This is because you mainly played as Franklin during the "Fresh Meat" mission. The glitched save you made tries to recognize this and respawns you as Franklin, but loads you into Michael's house because you made the game save with Michael. Step 7: The screen will turn black because the glitched save you made for some reason triggers the GTA V logo screen to pop up. This is another one that I'm not sure if I can explain better. Step 8: To leave this black screen then you will need to hold down on the directional pad and on the analog stick. The screen that pops up removes the previous screen, so now all you need to do is cancel your request to go to GTA Online (which is what down on the d-pad and analog stick does). Step 9: Now you have to wait for simeon to call you and do not hang up or answer the call. I have no idea why this is a necessary step, but it could be something that trips up the code when it detects that you haven't answered a call. Step 10-12: I think that this is just another way to trick the game into verifying that you are Franklin. By dying, it forces the game to reload but the director's mode keeps the game from fixing itself. Step 13: The game is still glitched into thinking that you are both Michael and Franklin, so you are spawned back into Michaels house. Step 14: This save is just so you do not have to redo all of the other steps. It is not a required step. Step 15-19: This step is to get you partially online while still remaining in the offline mode. It makes that last step of SP to MP possible by allowing you to retry loading into online. Step 20: I'm not sure why you have to answer the call, but maybe it's to keep Franklin performing an action while moving over to director's mode. Step 21: You need to enter director's mode to enable the fast travel feature. Step 22: I think changing the time of day makes it to where a specific movie is playing when you enter the theater and changing Franklin's clothing makes the game save him differently - removing his code from Michaels. Step 23-31: You need to be in the movie theater because it creates a long enough buffer between steps 27 and 28 to be able to actually perform them. Going back to the casting trailer any other time generally goes by faster or doesn't provide the loading circle at the bottom of the screen. Step 32-38: Going to creator mode will allow you to go into GTA online. You need to disconnect your internet when joining so that it will partially kick you out, but reconnect it so it brings you back in. Joining a recent activity is what tricks the game into allowing you completely in GTA online though, and what allows you to retry searching for a session when it says you can't join one. Step 41: My guess is that "A Titan of a Job" is the only mission that glitches out enough to work with this or because it puts you in the correct spot on the map. Step 42: Since the game is already pretty glitched out by now, and because the previous steps enabled SP to MP, declining the alerts to switch characters no longer work. It does, however, keep you from being brought back to offline mode. Step 43: Doing this temporarily brings you out of the offline mode and back into it. It helps solidify the SP to MP glitch by allowing you to safely reload your game into another session without breaking the glitch. Step 44-50: The dartboard allows you to be doing in action in the game while actively trying to leave it. For whatever reason this bugs the game out and keeps you able to continue the glitch. Step 50-52: No idea why these are required steps Step 53: Since the casino was not coded for offline characters, the tokens stay frozen for them. You can't get any more and you can't lose any more, but you can keep getting money from the ones you have. I'm probably drastically wrong on some of these steps, but these are my thoughts on how this glitch works. Generally I'll probably stick to less complicated glitches, but this is the first one that came to mind. Longer glitches are also more complicated to understand, so it's interesting to try and see how and why they work.
When GTA V launches on the next gen consoles, Rockstar should prioritize making real fixes to the game before adding more content and upgrading graphics.
For years we have played GTA Online and been super loyal to Rockstar and even though they can make amazing games, they just don't seem to ever give a shit about what the players want, and trying to get support from them is like talking to a wall. Unfortunately I doubt they will actually fix anything in the game, instead they will just add more stuff. There are many bugs we have been experiencing for YEARS that Rockstar obviously doesn't care about and will never fix. What I don't understand is why they are like that. Wouldn't there be more players if the game was more fun to play and didn't have some bullshit elements? I really want to see what GTA Online is going to be like on the next gen but if there is a lot of the shit in the game now that doesn't get fixed I guess I'll just stay on the current gen. All the bugs/glitches/mechanics I think need to be changed/fixed are:
Diamond heist vault grab: Where your character bugs out grabbing the vault contents
Diamond heist scope out: Where some scope out points can never be "scoped out"i.e. sent to Lester
Humane Labs heist rebreather: Where it despawns and you can't get it on to swim out of the lab
Godmode glitches: Jets/Speedo, and any other vehicles, become indestructible
Cargo sales glitches: Where drops can not be made from aircraft during sell missions
We should be able to use personal vehicles/aircraft in missions (we grinded and paid for them, only to not be able to use them when they would be most useful???)
Players with mental states above 2 bars shouldn't be able to use passive mode
Player suicides should count against their k/d ratio
B-11 Strikeforce needs at minimum a Hydra cannon and speed buff
The Oppressor MKII needs to be removed. If not, then remove the missiles. If Rockstar still doesn't care about their players that much, then give it Buzzard missiles.
Vehicles that are used in sell missions should not be able to be locked onto, if a player wants to greif cargo they should use real skill
Killing players wanted by the cops should not award you with a wanted level
Cops need to be nerfed. There shouldn't be cruisers and helicopters spawning in front of me every 20 seconds
The NPC vehicles need to drive normal and stop targeting and driving into players all the time, like in every other GTA
Invisible NPC enemies need to be patched
Stealth missions should stay stealth. If I did a mission stealth why should I get cops on me?
Body Armor, especially super heavy armor, needs a buff, I should have my super heavy armor gone in 4 shots from a cop with a pistol
BUZZARD NPC'S SHOULD NOT HAVE AIMBOT ON THE HELICOPTER MACHINE GUN
Increased payout for OG heists, contact missions, and air freight.
Enemies that are bullet sponges NEED to be nerfed. Why should they be able to kill me with full health and body armor with 10 bullets when it takes me 60 to kill them?
Enemy NPC's that are in vehicles, need to stop spawning right in front of me and magdumping me before I can effectively react
Enemy aimbot distance should be the same distance as player aim assist
MC/CEO sell missions should not give everyone a notification to go greif cargo
Same for MC/CEO resupply missions
Businesses should NOT get raided
Loading screens for Terrorbyte/MOC/Avenger need to go
Certain player animations need to go, like rag dolling when jumping from an aircraft, removing the parachute when landing on the ground, or getting on the drone/turret in the Terrorbyte, MOC, or Avenger
Getting stuck in the arcade during the Diamond Casino Heist
Alright I have already got 30 examples down of things that annoy me in the game and things that turn away players from playing GTA. For every 1 person I know that play GTA online there are 3-4 more that don't play and then cite these as reason why they don't want to play GTA. I guess Rockstar is way too cocky about the success of GTA V to even try to address any of this and do something. Players play GTA online to have fun in the sandbox, they don't play to deal with toxic features, bugs, and exploits. Rockstar would do themselves such a huge favor if they fixed at least some of this.
[XBOX/PC] Horse Betting Glitch w/ Automation (Xbox to Windows 10 Stream, FREE - no paid tools/programs)
This no longer works due to hot fixes. Too many work around to put in. Haven’t had the spare time to invest in translating PC workarounds to XB1there is a possibility that Rockstar will disable your access to casino games. It happened to me after about 3 straight days.

Every point on why GTA Online is horrendus to play.
Hello fellow redditors, i have been playing this game non stop since Epic Games gifted it. so, i will talk in every point i saw in this game that let me or my friends wanted to stop playing, dont take this as a harrass, but mostly as things rockstar could have made to improve the game. Lets start from the basic.
Load Times: we timed how much time it takes to load from starting main menu to online, it tooks an average of 4-6 minutes if u go Single Player then Online, 6-8 if you go directly to online. like, this game bugs a lot and you HAVE to restart it or do tricky things like joing from social club in order to fix it. and this takes me to the second point.
Bugs: this game seems like a indie company made a fan made rockstar game in Bugs quality, like, freezes in lobbys, cant join friends, cant join heist, disconnects, game makes you load GTA V Single player a lot of times, cant quit a bugged lobby, and mother of god, heist like casino has A LOT of bugs, freezes picking up gold, freezes in the start that makes you restart your game, glitches in the vault. This game is so broken that if u stop picking up loot and re do it, it bugs and refill the thing like WTF?, how is this a thing?, and do you want to know how they solved it?, if you have 160k+ in loot it doesnt let you re-grab a loot.
Hackers: its not a surprise, hackers are everywhere, droping money, exploding people, god mode, changin weather, spawning vehicles, spawning things, disconnecting people, crashing the game, and the worst thing?, sometimes you have to RESTART your game in order to fix wath the hacker put in the map. (pd: and there are a few DANGEROUS hacks, one that makes your game change weather constantly from day to night with brigthness incrased, someone with epilepsy can have an attack from this. like mother of god.)
Heists: look, i am not a pro player, i like to tryhard games mostly in pve content, but this game has like less than 1 week worth of heist and "interesting" missions to do, and it was released 6 YEARS AGO. 5 normal heists, 3 final worlds and casino. thats all, and the better part, why i will re do any of them if casino gives you 1kk and the others gives like a maximum of 250k.
Grinding Money: Hey, do you want money?, okay, if you play with friends you can farm a lot of casino, and casino, and casino again, if not, prepare to deliver cars. and every passive money income is a waste of time except for bunker fully upgraded and buying supplies ever and of course you need 3 people to do them.
Difficulty: as i said, this game is NOT challenging at all, heist are SUPER easy, mostly if u already have a good vest and hp from level, the only one i had to restart was the last one of final world because it takes so long that you dont expect to run out of vests.
Stealth: stealth works so bad in this game, like you can be in front of a guy with 0 cover and if u are not in the vision cone you are ok, you can kill someone behind him and nothing happens, you can shoot a window and nothing happens, but its so clunky that sometimes your character moves horrendus, security cams works awfull too, you can run past them and everything is ok... sometimes. idk why GTA V doesnt learn from games like payday 2, why i will want to do a stealth mission in an awfull made stealth. there is a reason why everyone hates stealth casino, and it is because, why do that?, why waste your time with some stupid things like this.
Minigames the game: Wanna hack?, do this mini game that has 3-4 maximum patrons with every same answer. like, is not hard, is no something you learn to do, is something you learn from memory, thats not skill, thats simply stupid.
Rockstar Social club: when i started playing i thought it was because of the big wave of new people like me who were playing, 1 month after this service works horrendus still, at the moment i am writing this it is down.
PVP: i dont like pvp in this type of games, they are not made to be balanced and not has skill at all, but one thing is not being balanced, other is being stupidly broken, MK2 in a nutshell, forces you to buy things to counter it.
Player Base: who would think the average player base of this game is gonna be 8-18 years old kids, its stupid how horrendus the player base is, i know is a "chaotic" game, but like, one thing is being chaotic for a reason, other is being dumb, people killing some lvl 10 and shit talking like, oh yeah, is not like he installed the game today and you are lvl 150 with fully upgradeds weapons, vests, mk2, hydra, spamming ghost. you are clearly better than that guy.
Races: who would think a player base of kids would want to have a good race?, none, so neither do i expect it, joined a race, people crashing other purposely at the first corner because "wow its so funny to crash, it does boom XD" and lag doesnt help this a lot, the few people who knowed how to play properly lagged a lot and crashed because of it.
Arena War: hey do you know that kiddos like to crash cars, lets do a mode for them, okey but lets do they pay 4-5 millon worth of upgrades and car cost first in order to play fairly with people expended the same amount of money, and lets do the most boring mini games ever like a capture the flag where everyone spams bikes because crashing one with the lag the game has is impossible.
A reason to grind: and this is my last statement in this game, why do i ever want to play this?, i want to grind money for what?, a mk2 to kill kids?, a house that i will NEVER use, a car that i neither will use because i have a mk2 and stromberg to counter my same mk2.
My TL;DR: if u want a heist-stealth game, go play payday 2, if you want a race game, you have a lot of games like dirt, if you want a pvp shooting game go play CSGO or if you want a more arcade expirience go play Fortnite or PUBG. This game is not worth playing more than a few days, i played it because of problem with my network that doesnt let me play a lot of other games and this one was a waste of time, i cant belive rockstar does things so bad.
