Oh, I finally managed to purchase my first apartment ($80k one). Some grotty one bed thing with 2 car spaces in garage. At least I can store my Elegy in there now. Having read somewhere that ALL apartments can accommodate Heist rooms or whatever there are called I saw no point myself in buying an expensive one. Plus it will look cool when my crew members all pile out my down and out pad on way to missions etc.

The point in an expensive one is the much bigger garage you get.

yep. You're are right and I totally forgot about that. How silly of me. Ah can we have an apartment AND a separate garage? I know we can only have one apartment.

You lose the minigun when you die using it (at least that is what I have found) Or if you log out

Not sure if it works with Minigun but I've found with other weapons you keep them if you get to an ammunation store and buy ammo and attachments for the gun in question.

I've ended up with (by chance) the sniper rifle, assault rifle, pump action shotgun and the funny short/stubby machine gun with the thumbhole in the stock, I didn't "buy" any of them as such but paid for Ammo, extended magazine and silencers for each.

If the above doesn't work for "you" don't blame me, these are purely my findings.

As far as I know you can have an Apartment with a Garage and a seperate Garage, I'm ok as I've bought the 400k Apartment with the 10slot Garage, so i'll have a while filling it with the expensive cars, The Adder is my first priority.

Roll on the Heists.

You can't have a seperate garage and apartment. Think it was Rufus that tried last night.

You definitely can't as I originally only had the 25k garage before buying my 230k apartment and it made me trade it in. However I did get 12.5k back from "selling" it

Had a good session on it last night 5PM till 1.30AM, my eyes are stinging this morning.

7hours of play earned me about 120k, I lost all that in 30min of messing about with sending Mercenarys and bounties to my mates

Come across a level 100 who just destroyed us with his tank.

Old Bill were well on top for me last night & on top of all that I had numerous Bountys put on me by the game. Even robbing a store was an instant 3 star & I didn't even shoot the shopkeeper.
Only saving grace was one time I did manage to shoot 2 SWAT & Steal there black SUV. Things went kinda mental after that though.

I've just got a message saying I can buy a buzzard now, only just got enough for it so anyone know where it's going to go if I buy it?

Greboth · 15 Oct 2013 at 10:28

It is annoying you can't, got my 10 car garage filled of some cars I want and some stupid cars but all cheap ones I have stolen so don't have room for any supercars when I can afford to buy them. So face a choice of don't own a supercar or get rid of one of my cars

The sandking is so ******* huge! Even parked next to a hummer it is big

Next to a low rider though it is comical

You probably ring for it each time you want it and they'll deliver it to a heliport/airport.
That is what they do with the Jetski I bought yesterday, you ring "Pegasus" and they pop an icon on the map for you to fetch it.

I have the same dilemma now

no room for anything flash (If/When I have the cash)
I love my twin cab sandking XL, I have a modded G-Wagon too as a general runabout what a car that is!
Also the bikes are very good in this game, a lot better than they were in any other GTA game that's for sure, I love bombing about them but you do take your life in your hands in a public lounge on a bike though.

Ok I finally got back on last night, For some reason turning the whole PS3 off and back on did the trick (I was just quitting and going back in at 1st) It's still not quite right though and there's often a feeling of uncertainty every time I load a job up as to whether it's going to crash on me - I've lost so much time staring at the city scape. I managed to buy a cheapo house and save before anything happened to it, will hopefully have more luck tonight.

Skeeter · 15 Oct 2013 at 10:52

I got into a random firefight with a randomer on a public servers last night. He killed me and stole my car, so I chased after him and got it back. We then had our own little deathmatch hiding behind cars and buildings, while also fighting off the 4 star wanted level we both earned mowing each other down.

It was great fun, until I realized it cost me about £30k in death tax plus I used up a full allocation of ammo in 4 guns

The death tax thing has really scuppered the ability to have random fights. In GTA4 a bunch of us would nominate someone to be 'it' and then set about chasing them across the whole map. Whoever killed them became it, and so we repeated. It was brilliant. But in GTA5 doing that would just bankrupt us all, so we instead spend our time giving each other lifts to LCS to sell Range Rovers, and popping into each other apartments to have a drink and watch TV...

Kinda feels like were missing the point...

Just in case you didn't know, if you hold the back button on the control you will bring up a menu where you can change vehicle access, even if someone is already in your car you can change it to no access and it will brake and kick them out.

Thats good to know, I'll let my friend know to stop giving out bs advice.

Has everyone got a Sandking in their Garage? I have

Just can't wait to mod it fully, I have a fully modded one in SP and its just rapid, and a tank, perfect I reckon for missions and heists (when patched in).

This shall be tested in full tonight

I keep getting a phone call from Ron about some fight i need to get to but don't have a clue where to go ?

Suarez7 · 15 Oct 2013 at 11:26

If you have the weapons unlocked then you can keep them. You can't keep a rocket launcher from survival though and just buy ammo for it from ammu-nation until you're level 100.

It just lasts until you've used all the ammo up. I had a minigun left over from survival and took 2 guys in a chopper down in free roam and got accused of hacking because of my level being low

Everyone should have they are such good fun. Also, as tested last night, pretty durable when dropped from a cargo bob from maximum altitude

It is when your following someone who goes offroad, all I think of is this
