Tips & Tricks (Outdated)

I'm sure that will prove a useful post, SS! What do you think about the future of bike stunting in V? Personally I don't even see it becoming as big as IV, cars and flying on the other hand...

It's more limited in some ways, and less limited in others. Guys should really try out the Bati and Ruffian with max driving skill, you can actually do a lot with them because they wheelie pretty well. Trying to max out my strength at the moment to see if that makes any difference.

Cars

The Entity XF is the best "sports car" for stunting overall, although it's the second fastest car in the game. The Surano accelerates a TINY bit faster, and brakes a little bit better too. However, the Entity XF has much more traction than the Surano. It's also longer, which improves grinding and wallrides. If you're doing a small runup stunt, or a really small precision, go with the Surano. For anything else, go with the Entity XF.

The Sandking XL is the best "SUV" in the game. If you're trying to do any ledge bumps or ledge grind, this is perfect because of its huge wheels. Don't add low suspension if you want to do any big ledge bumps though. The Patriot is also good for this, maybe better for small precisions.

Managing Franklin's Garages

When stunting this game, you should always be using Franklin. If you're flying, use Trevor. Michael's pretty useless for stunting; there's nothing wrong with him, he's just not got any vehicle advantages to speak of. It's not out on PC yet, so we're having to make do with console limitations. For now, I'm just storing the "important" cars in my garages, and ignoring the others (you have to simplify vehicle selection on consoles, if you want to stay sane).

In Franklin's main "interior" garage, you can store four vehicles. For Motorbikes, I'm storing the Bati and the Ruffian in this garage. For Cars, I'm storing the Entity XF and the Sandking XL. In my garage at Franklin's house, I'm storing the Faggio and the BMX.

I think this is the best selection for stunting right now. It's cool to stunt with the Sanchez and other vehicles, but these have the most unique/useful qualities of all the road based vehicles in the game, so I'd stick with these (in your garages).

Why use trevor instead of michael? I was just at flying school and maxed out his flying skill, doesn't that make him just as good?

SS: I'm still trying to find a goddamn bati, I just can't. :c

SS: but the Adder seems to be faster than Entity XF, haven't you tried it yet?

Anybody notice that when you go into the slow mo mode while driving, when you come out of it, it seems you get a huge acceleration boost.

Even if you max it out, each character will always be a bit better in their area. So Trevor will always be the best at flying, Franklin at driving and Michael at shooting 
It might not be much of a different but it's worth keeping this in mind.

Interesting read tho i dont have xbox360 or ps3

[VaNilla]

The Adder doesn't have as good traction as the Entity XF, but it brakes slightly better. Entity XF is much better overall. If you are willing to sacrifice traction go with the Surano.

Sorry for the double post, but if anyone's trying a very obvious ramp to tower, please stop because I've just landed it

So finished story and started stunting today.

Another useful thing I learnt is that you can switch characters then switch back quickly and you will be at full health and car health . 

Also found a faggio for the first time and it can go pretty damn fast when you wheelie .

Also you should all be using the lower wanted level cheat: R1, R1, B(o), RT, R, L, R, L

Still waiting for godmode cheat

[dirtybird78]

Here's a good one, if you press Y (triangle for PS3?) on the map it creates a point of interest. Useful for saving spot locations or if you happen to drive past one on a mission etc...

Isn't this feature pretty much on all GTA games? 

Edit: nevermind I misunderstood :p


Like someone said before..wall rides are really easy (was doing a natural bump to a roof that I kept missing, but finally found out what some stunters were talking about on how easy wall rides are) I can see this being a very huge part of GTA V stunting.

I second this. think i got 300 and some change of height in a car with this method. 1000ft of distance off a regular ramp.
