[GUIDE] Burnt Out on GTA?

[u/iosPixel]

Welcome to the Burnt Out on GTAO players guide.

Do you own everything you ever wanted? Tired of booting GTA Online up only to find you have nothing to do?

If like an ever increasing portion of the player base, you've filled your garages with cars you never drive, played every contact mission into the dirt, bored of pissing of the side of your yatch and finding your never ending Pegasus list is a mini game in itself then this guide is for you!

Having played GTAO since it's release I've pretty much purchased everything I wanted to own and a shit load of junk I didn't. So how do I spend my time on GTAO now?

• Daily Objectives

Now everyone knows the monetary bonuses associated with Dailies but if your dancing around in the end game of GTA waiting on the next DLC check your dailies out. If your lucky enough to find participants you may actually find yourself doing things you wouldn't usually do - and enjoying them.

• Progress Tab

GTAO has a very little known about progress tab listed within the pause menu. Your not a true resident of Los Santos until you've experienced all it has to offer. This list is a great place to start. Not filled a Titan with players yet? How about watched a wanted player on TV? This section of the game tracks a lot of miscellaneous stuff available to you. The completionist in you won't be able to walk away now knowing this list exists. Head over to Start - Online - Stats/Progress

• Awards Tab

GTAO has an award section that actually awards you! That's right. Free shit! Depending on what you complete listed here you could find yourself with free chrome rims or a selection of new tattoos, weapon skins and more! Who knows, they might bring back the old free roam events and allow newer players the chance to get some of the older tattoos. Might.

• Aiding and Abetting

This is the term I use to describe one of my free roam personas. I seek out players being harassed and help them in the most entertaining ways. Combine calling a mugger with OTR to really piss someone off. Nothing beats watching some sap be pulled out of his tank by a mugger and you stealing it while he chases his pennies.

P.S Hail Hydra - If you've got skills you could become an "Angel Aviator" and target those that grief others in aircraft.

• Griefers Charter

Now I know people won't appreciate this section, but seriously - there's a lot of fun to be had in GTAO if you play the asshole. I'm not talking blowing up crates, I'm talking about Hearses with ignition bombs strategically parked around the map, making good use of the empty personal vehicle to send players falling to their deaths, did I mention muggers? If you have friends things can get real interesting. Insurgents make good jihadi jeeps, send a player hurtling before impact by triggering that well placed sticky.

• Become a Youtuber!

Sick of the shit rehashed content that's all over YouTube? Why not add to it. Browse the reddit, find a subject already widely covered and cover it again. Don't forget to ask for subscribers and likes, bonus points for annoying long intro and outros.

• Create-A-Mission

This ones simple. Take a contact mission and add a stipulation to it to increase the difficulty. Notable inclusions are Muskets and Pistols only. Until we get a mission creator this is the best we've got.

• Sunday Driver

Have you experienced all the music GTA has to offer, take a car and cruise round the highway taking in sounds and sights you may have missed. You don't have to stick to the roads and there's plenty of vistas to be had.

• Roleplay

Roleplaying is one of my personal favourites to spend time in Los Santos. Be it Cop, Vigilante, Asshole or Chartered Pilot/Yachtsmen there's plenty of job roles to fill. I like to call Downtown Cab Co, jack the car and approach players in the hope they'll hop in and provide a destination. One caveat, you'll get more passengers not being in passive but you'll also end up with brains on the dashboard fairly often to. Advertise your services through the In game text messaging service.

• Notable Exclusions

CEO/VIP Work - It's new and might not seem so stale, although if your here I doubt you need to be grinding crates. Stick to the missions and throw in some stipulations for longevity.

Criminal Mastermind/Heist Challenges - If you can source a team, this tedious award is worth it for bragging rights. Elite T Shirts are seldom seen.

Stunt Jumps - Grab a guide/map and dedicate a couple hours to these, some great shots to be had.

Glitches - Some glitches are cool. Let's face it, check out /R/GTAGlitches for something other than money glitches. Occasionally a cool outfit or launch glitch pops up that can add fun. I recommend searching Supermans Playground for some fun with GTAs quirky physics.

PVP - You've avoided it this far - but why? Get involved, say goodbye to your KD if you haven't already and learn the mechanics of the game. Some are cheap but it's a whole aspect of the game that players have avoided for their entire careers. Maybe now it's time to jump in.

Crews/Communities - If you enjoy car meets or mindless fun there's probably a community out there for you. Thanks to /u/CyborgWarrior

Creator - The create has a wealth of props available to you. With the addition of the stunt creator you could definitely lose a few hours here. Thanks to /u/Kenraali

This guide was written on mobile, please forgive any formatting mistakes. I'll tweak it when I'm infront of a desktop, I've had it in my saved posts for a while in response to the multitude of "I'm Bored!" posts. If you have any suggestions, I'll add them here.

You've amassed some down votes but it would appear your at the same end game scenario I am. But your still here, try contributing something within the game, maybe even here on reddit. If not, move on. I appreciate the input all the same and hope you stick around.
