Fun fact about the Buffalo EVX: the car model is kinda broken. If you try to shoot at the front lights, the bullets go through and reach through the passenger seats. The best way to discover it is have one of your friends get inside, aim at the front lights and you should see the weapon reticle being red which indicates that you can shoot the player inside with no problem.

[@FreeAimDog]

problem with that is the aimbot CPU will shoot you out easily when they do the rapidfire assault rifle exploit where they shoot a burst of bullets out all at once.

[@hummerguy]

Gta logic: an electric car has more armored than a main battle tank and a Reconnaissance vehicle (APC) Also gta logic: An electric vehicle is less effected by an EMP compared to the APC which is a fully mechanical vehicle that involves no electric fuel system and its basically a faraday cage

[@Stormyy6310]

Yes lol, almost as crazy as RC tank having as much/more armor than both MBTs available in game

[@stoicbartender]

GTA logic: a semi truck is the strongest vehicle in the game and not a futuristic tank or military fortress like the avenger

[@brendanboomhour7606]

Maybe the reason electric cars are somewhat more resistant to EMP is the fact that they're most likely designed to be more resistant to power surges, since that's one of the effects of an EMP, so the car's electronic systems take less damage, and thus, reboot faster

[@Bart-Did-it]

A Faraday Cage 😂 I hear that !

[@MurderBong]

SAME PPL THAT MADE THE B11 SOUND LIKE ‘F-YEAH!’ AND SHOOTS LIKE ‘YAAAAHH…’

[@Kola25_97]

The EVX actually helped me significantly in grabbing all 8 business battle cargo I participated in last night.

[@InvisibleHotdog]

Mk2 painted camo to hide in the bushes by the biz battle

[@hatchetwound666]

I still prefer the Buffalo STX since it has bullet resistant windows.

[@TheAffectation8724]

I used it to deliver goods from a Business battle, from Clucking Bell Farms to West Vinewood. All the while being chased by an F-160 Raiju firing me with cannons. By the time I reached my Nightclub, it was smoking.

[@alfredo-haines]

ikr it’s great as a getaway vehicle especially with the homing missile jammer, it’s too fast for anyone to shoot accurately and even if they hit you it’s insanely easy to get back on track

[@Gokul_Yt]

So the newer vehicles is trash without hsw. HSW is going the same route as bennies adding new cars that should have those upgrade option as standerd But you have to pay a massive upgrade fee. HSW&Bennies should be used on older cars and making them on par with the newer cars.

[@pyrusbuffalant]

That would require Rockstar to have braincells :/

[@Tree1237PS]

Something that is very situational but I think would be worth mentioning in the future is that since the EVX is a muscle car, it can do wheelies to get over smaller obstacles like walls that other cars can't

[@RewindingFilm04]

That's why I loved the Buffalo Imani car so much when it came out, it was good for maneuvering around in the city with its wheelies

[@dnic9562]

it can in fact not wheelie it is awd

[@Overqualification]

That happens with any vehicle. Happens with the MOC cab and the half track more notably.

[@Anguish88]

That happens to any car, blows up because they shot at the sticky

[@adamwatkins1150]

For a 5 million dollar electric car, this acceleration should be a bit better.

[@FreeAimDog]

the free virtue car you get after completing all the first dose missions have way better acceleration. i let my mother drive my virtue while i was in the passenger seat and she manage to make it go 0 to 60MPH in 3 seconds flat in the desert, we ended up flipping it alot and the angry mission CPU started shooting us in the car.

[@FreeAimDog]

@@NoBody-pw3kf besides turning i cant see any flaws with it as a free roam get away car, i put mine with orange paint and red neon lights and armor and lock on jammer i think if it has it. i know it sounds tacky but im copying it from a dream i had. basically it was me and my sister and my cousin all of us potheads sitting in my random sports car in the dream at night and i remember having a omnipresent vision of a car coming behind us and i felt it was hostile so we drove off down the street, i guess its a good thing in my dreams i usually have a gun in my hand like a sniper or a pistol or revolver.

[@jameshawley8754]

i love this thing and the stinger

[@pcinsomniak]

From the outcome of this video, I can tell it'll be a good car to have, and I love the looks of it... but I'm gonna wait until I see it go on discount before buying it. For freemode play in the city streets, the Virtue seems to be king shit IMO.

[@CREAMP1E_K]

I seen on a different video that it’s kinda broken as you can be hit from bullets through the head/tail lights also other places on the body of the car

[@druu2239]

let's get rockstar to fix the dre contract leaks now, I hate how the nightlife leak is still bugged.

[@3starperfectdeer233]

I love cars are so tough now. I remember when the RPG was the be all end all weapon..now it just tickles

[@Aquas1998]

Good eye on the EVX’s acceleration. The car itself like any other muscle cars caters to straights, rendering its use in cities and very tight corners limited. Peeling off any danger is more important than taking the harm towards you. Still, it’s good to race in if the host didn’t toggle the HSW upgrades off, but honestly, I want to hear the roar of a muscle car than have it come at you silently.

[@yournan504]

ghilliemaster or master of ghillie?

[@Wiplash12345]

Looks dope

[@Radioheadcase-101]

For me keep the weapons only if you choose the rc if not keep them off

[@Sirlistic]

Wish the Buffalo stx had hsw but I like the handling of this car and great armor

[@itskiki4979]

I mean at least u have access to it so

[@pyrusbuffalant]

Bro is on something if you think the EVX handles better than the STX

[@Magmacracker]

One of the spoilers gives it extra bullet protection from behind.

[@WeezyManiac]

For some reason when I drove it last thursday (when it came out), slapped on Imani tech and Armor plating. 1 minute out of the garage it went down in 2 sticky bombs. Got disappointed so I dropped it in the garage for it to never see light again. Will have to test again why it blew up so quick, hope it doesn’t have the same quirky design as the Avenger, blowing up in fewer explosives every now and then. I’m on PS4, will test again, hope it was a fluke.

[@MarkusMh]

Hey Ghillieman, I don't know if you can guide me in the right direction, I remember you having a video on plane/helicopter settings and keybinds etc, but I can't seem to find it. Do you know what it was called? Or am I misrembering

Does it wheelie like all the other muscle cars?

[@user-ll5qm1sm3p]

i just bought it yesterday for 4.1 mil modded and maxed out (with hsw) from lscm so i’m happy about that but knowing the other little car is faster is annoying me now😭

[@Nitro_Pegasus]

I think the whistleblower mission for the avenger is broken, it doesn't let me drop off the EMP to continue.

[@strawberrysundaes]

Man.. Do you think HSW will ever come to PC?

[@Speedycar100]

So I can’t do the HSW time trial in it. Is it because of the slick mines or because it’s imani tech ?

Slick mines

[@Eric-W28]

I think now the MC businesses if not in document forgery is now glitched where when I try to sell it and I ain't sure if i does it for the other mc businesses but I keep getting a pop-up message saying I was signed out of my console and that I've been disconnected from Network features and that I need to connect to Xbox live and it's really getting me pissed off. I ain't sure if anyone else is getting this or is experiencing this issue as well but it's happening to me for more than like 3 hours.

[@claude6939]

If it's about racing it's nowhere close to STX, STX is a muscle car with sports car handling. Great to drive, has better top speed than most muscle cars. It has the grip, control, top speed, acceleration and traction. If the race is about just pressing W, EVX wins because of its top speed. For pvp, I wouldn't choose neither of them. Virtue is already a superior choice.

Repo Mission "Burn Rate" Easy Tier 4 Challenge for Solo Players: Select Khanjali in Freemode before you Start the Mission, Enter Mission, let the Khanjali stay there in the Beginning and Focus on getting a Fire Truck and drive with it to the Terminal. Then call in your Khanjali via Request Personal Vehicle, clear as many Guys as possible in 1min30 to 2 Minutes especially those on the Crane Stairs, and those behind Walls, don't shoot near a Car obviously just Pop those that are far away from Cars. As soon as you cleared a good bunch return Personal Vehicle and call in an RCV (Riot Control Vehicle) that Vehicle has two Water Cannons especially useful with two Players in it. Use it to extinguish the Cars Quick and drive smart to prevent getting shot. RCV is much less likely to get Hit Inside than with the Fire Truck. I know most Players don't buy the RCV but in this Mission it is very good.
