GTA V: 13 Things You Probably Didn't Know You Could Do

12. Get A Revenge Killing Online

Now that the online portion of the game is working, and players are working out the best tactics to profit and prosper in the dog-eat-dog-eat-policeman world, the full functionality of the game is beginning to be revealed. As an occupational hazard of choosing a life of crime in GTA V Online, you can be slain by other players who want your vehicles, or your money, or who simply enjoy killing random other players for the sheer thrill (and there are a LOT of them.) Naturally, this leads to a COD-like level of frustration, but thankfully, the game allows you to seek immediate and bloody vengeance, rather than throwing your controller in an impotent rage and shouting unbroadcastable expletives at your console. In the game, once you respawn, you can immediately go into your iFruit Contacts list, find the name of the killer (provided you noticed it, which is pretty likely) and press highlight, which will handily add a marker on your map, allowing you to track them down, and whup the proverbial. Needless to say, this one is suggested with a generous ladle of awareness: if you're going to start killing someone every time they kill you, it's likely you're going to kick off a merciless and probably never-ending revenge war that burns for the entirety of your Online gaming association. And while that might be reasonably arresting for a while, you shouldn't under-estimate how gripping that might become, well beyond the end of the entertainment factor, and you're probably going to end up reducing This could however be a good way to avoid troll-like stalkers, who randomly choose a victim without prejudice to torment, tracking them down every time they spawn in order to kill them again. As a handy tool to avoid or pre-emptively strike in those circumstances, this method is whole-heartedly encouraged.
