Don't ask about the description, random gibberish apparently gets videos more exposure so just ignore the following, thank you :)
HEY BOYS (gamers) (gaming) it is me HARMNONE (harmnone) here to play gta5 (gta 5) (gta online) I recently purchased an iPhone 13 from (mrbossftw) (he was illegally selling them :D) as I walked down MAIN STREET towards MADISON SQUARE GARDEN I stumbled across LEBRON JAMES (wow, incredible) he was in the middle of getting DUNKED ON by MICHAEL JORDAN (MJ) because even at 780 years old MICHAEL JORDAN is still a much better player than Bron (it's true) as I walked I saw a billboard featuring EST GEE & 42 DUGG (two of the greatest rappers alive) advertising their new ALBUM "LAST ONES LEFT" (they are the last ones left) on top of that I also walked past LIL BABY (the goat). As I continued I stumbled upon JOE BIDEN (wtf) (he was taking money from mrbossftw to be let off of his prison sentence) (he was convicted of being one of the worst KZbinr's in history) after I witnessed this (which I totally didn't obviously) (pls joe don't have my family wiped). Finally I reached my final destination, JFK INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT where I then witnessed TGG (the gaming gorilla, ((famous gta 5 KZbinr)) being detained by the TSA for suspicion of international piracy on the high seas (wow). Naturally this was alarming as I didn't believe that he was a pirate (innocent until proven guilty) I then boarded my plane and flew into EUROPE (but definitely not near UKRAINE or RUSSIA ((I DONT WANT TO GO THERE RIGHT NOW)) finally the plane landed in Somalia, where I then dismounted the plane (yes) and got into a white Toyota Hilux pickup truck (with a mounted DShK machine gun in the bed((a bit odd)) I then went to a remote village on the eastern side of the BEAUTIFUL NATION. In said village I was instructed to enter a hut made of scrap corrugated metal fence and blue tarps. Inside of the hut I found something I never expected to see. Tylarious, Broughy1322, Digital Car Addict, Saintsfan, Nitrix Warlord, TGG and... MRBOSSFTW... all sitting around a small table made of thatch and tires (wtf is going on omg) they then sat me down and handcuffed me to the small 3 legged white plastic chair (oh no)
Naturally this was a very alarming situation to be apart of, but I wasn't going to let it get the best of me. Next thing I know, DONALD (redacted monetization and legal reasoning) AND KANYE (yez) WEST enter the hut through the back piece of tarp.
MrBossFTW comes over to me while the others watch in disarray, he gets close to me and whispers in my ear "you wanna know how I got this hut?"
I replied "no not really"
He said "I've made over 7,000 clickbait videos, extended just past the 8 minutes mark, for extra ad revenue. Now that my views are dwindling and the next era of GTA KZbinrs are being ushered in, I've felt it was time to take the reigns back into my hands"
Feeling very confused and like I was having a fever dream, just when I thought things couldn't get any stranger...
WHISTLINDIESEL RUNS THROUGH THE WALL OF CORRUGATED FENCE AND TARPS IN HIS BRAND NEW LAMBORGHINI HURACAN THAT HE recently purchased from TJ HUNT (what is going on ((I am truly alarmed)) hitting and dismembering the worst GTA 5 youtuber of all time.
Moments later we all gather ourselves and meet around what's left of the table (there is not much)
Former US President Donald (redacted for legal and monetization reasons) reaches his hand out to me and assures me that nothing like this will ever happen again (wow) and that MrBossFTW has been a wanted criminal on the CIA's MOST WANTED LIST for 10 YEARS (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
I receive the CONGRESSIONAL MEDAL OF HONOUR for my antics (not sure what I did but ok hehe) (medal of honor go brrrrrrrrr) I then ride back to the airport with the unspoken president and we depart back to NORTH AMERICA (epic)
Thank you DOnALD :)
If you made it this far Idk why you read all of that but I certainly hope you enjoyed it.
Oh and KIM KARDASHIAN & SKETE (pete) PETE DAVIDSON (peter davidson) are goofs

A note about highlighting players - if the highlighted player leaves, the highlight doesn't disappear, it transfers to whatever player now occupies the "slot" of the player who left. If you're tracking a griefer, it's worth an occasional check to make sure you're still highlighting the right person.

A lot of players don't know you can redirect homing missiles with the flare gun too. Super useful if you have a buddy in the car with you to shoot flares while you toss stickys at an incoming mk2 opressor, deluxo or sparrow.

I was sceptical about how many tips I could learn from this video, but damn I learned a lot! Thank you! 🙌

[@The_Causal_Gamer_24]

Great video btw great job adding that skyrim music 👌

[@stormdesertstrike]

Much love bro! Stay safe out there

[@chadturpin8220]

The minimap is one of the best things to get used to if you go in your settings you can permanently make it bigger the only thing that is bad is when you GPS stuff it doesn't give you a distance but I think it's well worth it especially if you have oppressors on the map

[@cjones3460]

Great video bro, these are great tips I've been pvp for a while, the only tip that I don't know about is the assisted full aim! It could be good as you can walk on further, but it can also get you in trouble! I don't know if it's different on PC but on consoles especially if you have wanted level, you tend to lock onto every thing except the player you were trying to fight!

[@DeadEndDrumStudios]

I love the bloons td battles music in the background 👍

[@kurisu7885]

I managed to turn my thermal on and now I use right on the D-pad to flip the goggles up and down. thanks to your guide I changed up my combat outfit.

[@97piet]

you should have added the fact that the thermal scope has a smaller zoom than the advanced scope. so using q-lens + advanced scope performs the best when it comes down to long range fights.

[@OrlisthePurpleDragon]

True

[@hunterontherun807]

Except when the helmet decides not to work and has no way to activate again without leaving the lobby.

@@hunterontherun807 this happens to me but I’m able to activate it through the interaction menu. Style>accessories>helmets>quad lenses. It gives you the option to activate them but only if your lenses are down. If your lenses are up, the option will not appear.

Thanks for this ❤

[@martinusm7344]

That first tip switch highlighting is brilliant

[@bavishmanjunath629]

You can also upgrade weapons in the freakshop without having to buy a weapon workshop

[@Kargo_Ken]

It’s limited tho. Still gotta get the workshop for the really good stuff

[@GamerGrenade779]

Hey harmnone I came to this video to improve my 1v1s better and I watched this video 1 month ago and I’m still watching

[@Idgaf_the_grey]

The homing launcher is way faster if you spam it. And the Rpg is very good for wallbangs. So I just use both depending on the situation. But most of the time I would actually recommend the homing launcher. If you pull the trigger just 50% you can aim with it, pretty good for third person use.

[@MichaelAlexander_]

Now, im not a big pvp fan I normally just try to make my money in peace, but griefers are real in gta and these tips kinda helped. Thanks my guy🤙🏾 You've earned a Sub

[@brandongaysr.4922]

2:45 you can make the expanded radar stay on from the setting in the pause menu.

[@whitneyadams9614]

I got the mini gun at level 37, if you buy a facility, then on a table you can pick up a mini gun

[@ChuckBoomBuck]

Awesome Tips!

[@Bazinga2811]

With the snack and armour thing in the weapon wheel on console it's up on the D-pad for snacks and click on right stick for body armour

I learned this wayyyyyyy to late in the game like level 150 lmao!

[@gtehlive]

18:30 the homing launcher can be good for long range shots! Carries longer than the RPG rounds do 😎

[@jevmat5263]

17:35 if you press the right trigger very lightly, it will aim but won't use homing and won't fire until you press it harder

[@thevaultfox6310]

If you wanna have fun with someone in a public session. Get a friend and have your friend shoot a homing launcher and you shoot a flare at the enemy and it's like a airstrike

[@Therealmikebobaguard]

The great thing about the grenade launcher is if you go behind cover you can spam it without the delay

[@user-ei7lf2on5t]

I didn’t even know this is this true ?

[@user-ei7lf2on5t]

So it shoots faster when you take cover behind a wall or something ?

[@caseycameron5370]

Ooh yeah 110% true

[@jjskies5724]

He's another good tip to know Take cover behind something and m1 click or click rt multiple times while holding the grenade launcher to spam grenades quickly

[@pimpster122]

To fix thermal/nvg you can re-apply that saved outfit or switch helmet quick. It glitches off if you get in a vehicle while it is activated on. You can prevent it by flipping the goggles up before entering a vehicle in order to be able to simply flip them down with right on dpad.

[@Brodyyer]

How do you turn on the thermal on pc?

[@cxsey4998]

​@@BrodyyerF11

[@Brodyyer]

@@cxsey4998 I tried that but it only flips the visor down and doesn’t turn on the thermal.

[@SzablaV]

First person vehicle hood is good to have On when using jets, easier to aim.

[@TheRealAdaWong]

Situational awareness is a BIG miss in Freemode, I can’t tell you how many times my low level friends get hit by a random in an Oppressor while I’m a block away getting out of dodge. It’s equally important because I’ve easily swooped down in the last seconds to take over someone’s yacht or grab a package with no remorse from low levels because watching out for Big Bosses is apart of freemode.

[@masterchad79]

Extra tip: buying ammo from some guns is cheaper than others from the same category, the musket as far as i know has the cheapest ammo

[@DigitalConceptz]

Hey I see you got a new PvP tips for 2023!! I really miss playing GTA Online probably the longest I been from the game not taking a break wise, but after dealing with rockstar bullshit just not going to take any chances but may just play invite only and play PVE without actual players :( hope you and Twingo have a great safe day we love you guys!!!

Up and atomizer for charging oppressors is so funny then spray them as they ragdoll to the ground

5:49 Make sure to set " Mouse Smoothing Scale " MAXED OUT it make your aiming so much smoother

[@mohamadali5908]

If you cannot put up or down the Goggle and it stuck just switch or choose it to outfit that have the Hemel and it will make it so you put your thermal on and off againe and make it free basically.

[@hksoap]

You need to make a video abt best outfits and how to customize it

[@LurkerAnonymous]

Please make a video about your character's outfit. I really like it.

Homing launcher on console you can lightly hold the right trigger and aim it without it locking. Then fully pull the trigger to fire it.

[@aaronstrager9540]

Actually you can get the mini gun before level 120. If you buy a facility it spawns in as a free weapon refill. Though you will have to go and get it or spawn in there when ypu join online. I discovered this after buying a facility. Also the night club also has free weapons and the bunker. Though the bunkers are locked behind the shooting range challenges.

[@shokraven2231]

The Gun Van will sell it on occasion and you can even buy it from him at level 1 if you have the money

[@caseycameron5370]

Advanced rifle is pretty good if ya dont have money for mk2 weapons with BST it shreds

[@loganbourdoin1370]

When I use the grenade launcher I like to hit RB (when your character runs and takes cover) and then I get in a position where I can spam grenades you can run through 10 grenades in 4 seconds just keep spam tapping it

For people whit less pvp experience ,lock on missil is better because when we are fighting we rarely lock on whit the lock on missile ,most of the experienced pvp player use lock on launcher spaming ,we just need to aim whit sniper ,change do Rlauncher and spam whitout aiming.
