What happens when you die as a ceo gta

A new GTA Online update tackles the ever-present issue of griefing in a number of potentially impactful ways.

Launching alongside the big Criminal Enterprises update on Tuesday, July 26, the patch includes a laundry list of general gameplay changes as requested by players via the GTA Online feedback website (opens in new tab). Crucially, a few of these changes are aimed squarely at minimizing the impact of griefers on other players, and they sound like genuinely meaningful improvements.

When the update goes live, players will no longer have to shell out money when they destroy another player's weaponized personal vehicle, which means you can finally defend yourself against griefers without penalty in those instances. 

Another big one is that your K/D (kill/death) ratio will no longer reflect kills made in Freemode "to reduce instances of griefing." Instead, that statistic will only change based on what happens during competitive gameplay. That should go a long way to disincentivize griefers looking to improve their K/D ratio in Freemode.

That's not all - the update will also let you complete Sell Missions in private invite-only sessions, which again, means you won't have to worry about griefers getting in the way anymore. "You’ll be able to register as a VIP, CEO, or MC President in Invite Only, Crew, and Friend Sessions, allowing business owners to source and sell at their own pace or with their friends," reads a bit from the patch notes (opens in new tab).

Another change seemingly giving the middle finger to griefers is a big nerf on the obnoxious Pegassi Oppressor Mk II hoverbike. Namely, the effectiveness of its homing missiles has been reduced, and its countermeasures will have increased cooldowns and fewer uses.

Finally, for the griefers who prefer to do their terrorizing on the race track, the new GTA Online update has a couple of welcome surprises on that front as well. The special vehicle race creator will have "Ghost to First Checkpoint" and "Anti Grief Ghosting" options to ghost players driving in the wrong direction.

The full update makes changes from everything to vehicle customization to business protections and upgrades, but it's good to see such a large chunk of it dedicated to combatting griefing. 

Now if only Rockstar would stop griefing its Red Dead Online players and introduce some dang updates.

Here's everything we know about GTA 6.

GTA V is a juggernaut when it comes to sales.

The game has already sold 54 million copies, not counting digital sales, and the slew of discounts the game is getting through various distribution services means there is still massive demand. Take-Two's earnings seem to reflect this, and we'll bet that a large fraction of those 8 million players each week are newcomers. However, GTA Online is hardly forgiving for the unprepared and inexperienced. Players will go to surprising lengths just to kill you again and again, which might be off-putting for low-level players with little by way of equipment.

Well, if you're keen on surviving the harsh land of Blaine County and the unforgiving streets of Los Santos, the GTA V community is here to help with some tips. Don't let the downers get to you - playing in large packs or having a strong crew to back you up aren't the only ways to survive out there. Rule of thumb is, early on, spend your money on weapons, not vehicles or cosmetic items. While getting your character dressed to your liking is certainly important from a role-play standpoint, not getting ganked every minute is important from an not-getting-uncontrollably-mad-at-the-game standpoint.

Something to prevent the anger is acceptance. Even when you're at a high level with all the prettiest toys, you're going to get killed - and that's okay. Just make sure to minimize losses by always depositing any cash you earn along the way, so that you don't lose it when the inevitable does occur.

One good tactic for staying alive is to get up close an personal with the dodge function. If you know who it is out to get you, lock on to them, and perform a combat roll (X, Square, Shift) - this will cause them to lose their lock on you. For more helpful tips, take a look at the Reddit thread.
