R* released a new (http://www.rockstargames.com/newswire/article/52563/gta-online-updates-today-drop-zone-adversary-mode-plus-new?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_content=newswire&utm_campaign=dropzone-01282016) GTA Online update today :-D
Two new vehicles have been added to Benny's Original Motorworks, the Karin Sultan and Bravado Banshee. A new adversary mode called "Drop Zone" is now added.
??? ??? ???
You have always been able to see a banshee sitting on one of those racks at Benny's and I used to ask, what the heck is a Banshee doing there? :-D
I checked their "Newswire" yesterday and there was no notification of this. Hehe, they like to surprise us and to keep us playing :-X :)
450.6MB isn't too big an update.. a matter of less than a minute download time here ^-^
:-X
Careful!!! Careful!!! Careful!!!
I noticed that a lot of my upgrades
disappeared after joining a different session. I thought it was a one time only bad luck thingy, so I restarted the game, still gone. I bought new ones (spent a total of $168.895 twice on the upgrades now) and they disappeared again!! :angry-new:
I submitted a request at Rockstar support and asked for a refund, there I found out there's loads of people complaining about the same issues with both the Sultan RS and the Banshee 900R.
My advice is; Don't buy them until they fix the bug!You may buy the car and do the base upgrade (Which will boost the performance quite nicely). That won't disappear. But most visual upgrades are unstable. I lost Engine block upgrade, Strut Brace, Livery, Dash, Doors, Seats and Steering wheels. :'(
The outside body upgrades were still there, but I suggest not to risk any expensive upgrades until the bug is fixed. Will keep you posted about my ticket @ R* support. ;)
bugger. Sorry to hear that, Binnatics :( Thanks for the heads-up, though. :-X
I was reluctant anyway so I only got a stolen Karin Sultan in my garage yet, no upgrades at all. However, I believe that R* support will help you and that R* is genuinely interested in solving that problem. So far, they've always been helpful and sorted stuff out.
Well, the first reply to my bug report wasn't really possitive. They auto replied that they don't give refunds when players aren't happy about their purchases. Lol, that pissed me off. But now the stuff on my car is all back, so I think they fixed it ^-^
I found out that their first reply is a standard all-purpose reply out of their help desk manual. But they offer something like, "if that didn't help please tell us (THEN we'll seriously start looking into it and help you)" ;)

Nice. :-D
When we started online, we were proud when we were able to upgrade stolen cars for ourselves, spending a few ten thousands of dollars. Now.. stuff like that golden plane is worth 10 million dollars. Same goes for the super yacht, 8-10M dollars. The Banshee and the Sultan RS are worth around 1.2M dollars. I think we've got rich :-D
[smg id=8568 type=preview align=center caption="Banshee 900R 08"]
You make me envious Art :-D 8)
:-D no need to. For instance, I don't own any golden planes. However, when I last checked, my stats indicated that I had accumulated a total of roughly 145 million dollars. Most of which is spent and shared between my TWO online characters. Not a single cent of my money was cheated or obtained in any other glitched way. All honest w@&k (my OWG online crew rank is 431). And a LOT of time (3,000+ hours) :)
just back from a couple jobs as a VIP. Pays damn well these days ^-^

apocalypse now? :) nice pic, Binnatics :-X
:-X
Almost looks like something from ArmA3
I like to go back to GTAV just to drive around a bit. Particularly in this now fully tuned Karin Sultan RS. Crazy, I spent about $1.5M on this car alone. And for the Banshee -- I slapped on a few upgrades, too. Total cost for both fully upgraded cars around $3M. Why? Not because I had to. But because I could. :-()

Nice car tuning there :-D :-X
In pic Sultan RS Super 09 you can see a device laying in the back of the car, with all sorts of tubes sticking out of it leading to the front of the car (where the clutch is) and 2 hoses leading to the little side windows of the car.
I wonder what that is. Anyone has a clue? I thought it had to do something with the handbrake, since some of the tubes lead towards the massive handbrake handle. But it seems kind of weird that such a massive thing is just for half the braking power... ????
btw, nice pics Art! I like the green on the Sultan :) :-X
thanks :)
I'd think those hoses were for gasoline, fuel up through the back window :-D
R* keeps coming with weakly updates since Valentine's day update. This week gives double RP and $ on all Versus missions. Versus missions are simple tasks where a minimum of 2 teams compete against eachother. Goals can be from selecting checkpoint in fighter jets to stealing documents from a crooked cop. There's a lot of missions that involve flying. I never knew that, and am having great fun with them. Most other players really suck at flying so it's an easy way to rack up RP and $. :-D

This picture shows a kind of dump adversary mode called Running Back, which can be fun at some times though. There's one little smart, that has to cross the bridge. Some guys in Biftas can help defend him from another group of guys in Biftas trying to stop him. Here's a massive clash:

At the moment of completing my task, I had to steal a Van filled with weed and deliver it to 'the drop off', someone managed to 'touch me' :-D He was too late though 8)

Somewhere along the way I came across this funny Van :-()
