The one thing the 2013-2015 players will remember is the prime of GTA. No flying bikes, no jets (Unless you took it from the base), no orb cannon and more. GTA is still fun but prime was something else... Just getting home from school telling your friend to get on and make money and fight at the beach. Times have changed
actually, we did have jets ogs would steal them from the base and go around griefing also, if you were know anything about the game back in 2013 we had Battle of Whiskey River jet dogfight so that proves you don’t really know what you’re talking about
*You* think times have changed? When I got home from school GTA 3 wasn't even out yet. It was all split screen Goldeneye and AIM. We DREAMED of jets and flying bikes.
In 2013 I got $150,000,000 gifted to me after the first night of release from a zero day hacker in a public lobby. The guy had the Adder and I asked him how he got it. He said hold on a minute and I'll show you...... stays in lobby but went silent. Accepted a friend's invite after 5 minutes of nothing, and as I was heading to a friend's lobby the message came up and read "you have been gifted $150,000,000 from...." and then I was in another lobby. If you're out there reading this, you changed my whole experience bro, Rockstar didn't. Thanks, I never got the chance to say that.
@@kaliforniakiing8374 spot on. I used the gifted money to buy and test out nearly all the cars on LM in races to find my favorite ones to keep and use going forward. Blew it all away, nostalgic
Rooftop Rumble used to pay out about $18,000. All the contact missions had set payouts back then. Certain missions payed out more but weren't necessarily harder or took longer to complete. Rockstar literally changed the mission payout system to time-based, because so many players would just grind the highest paying missions, for hours on end, myself included.
Most people didn't know you could pickup a lady off the street in a convertible and go into an alley and pay her for the services, then have your friends run around the corner real fast and start taking selfies of the deed in action while standing on the car. Fun times man, fun times.
@@jimrustle643I was on yesterday just free roaming and i happened upon a player parked in an alley with a lady of the night who was dispensing her services. I molotovd them in the vehicle
We all gettin in the feels lol we know that goated time is about over and we cant get it back! Im honestly concerned for the future of GTA. But we shall see
@@succfuse3061 Then your memory is lying to you. The Zentorno was part of the High Life Update released in May 2014 and the Heists update wasn't released until March 2015, nearly a year after.
I remember when players used to bitch about the rhino tank and the fighter jet. If they only knew the rhino tank was nothing compared to what was coming soon.
2013 Rooftop Rumble was the peak of crew cooperation. We used to speed run that mission. We had The Driver who drove you to Martin's home, The courier whose job was just to grab the case and get to the car and the muscle whose job was to kill all of the enemies.
The biggest thing I miss from 2013-14 GTA Online is how everyone stayed in the city centre, so if you stayed outside of it, nobody bothered you. I hope GTA 6 Online is like that too in the early days.
20 something year old TGG is starting to feel it, what getting old? Dude I was 31 when it was released, I'm 42 now, you don't know old, yet, but you will, one day 😉😂
Yep! December 2014 when they had 2XP, me and my friend Austin at the time would run it up everyday. 5/6 times for almost half a mill a day, great times. Hard to believe that was almost 10 years ago
OGs remember how random explosion on the lobby meant a player with a Tank and was scared shitless. Even worse when they were camping your garage door and the exiting animation played with it just standing there
the boneyard survival was another go-to for us back in the day. 2 of us would hide behind the trailer near the wall, and another would hide behind the stack of wood next to it and just go to town. we'd also do the prison race a ton too. the good ol' days lol
Who remembers the deathmatch mode where you had to dodge jumping armored cars on a bridge trying to hit you while shooting rockets at the armored cars?
I had a bounty on me for around that amount of money or possibly way more, I stayed in my apartment for the 45 minutes it takes for you to get the money. I had people waiting outside my apartment sending me messages too telling me to stop being a bitch and fight for the money lmaoo. I was like fuck you mean fight for it, I’m not taking any chances
Except most of the times, it resulted in you getting your account banned/reset. I remember it being one of the ways modders would troll players. They would spawn on random players and just start dropping tons of money around them, making it impossible for the players to avoid picking up the money. And since those players would be obtaining large amounts of money much faster than possible in the game, it would trigger the anti-cheat systems and result in your account getting banned or reset by RockStar unless you could prove that it was a modder trolling you.
Rooftop Rumble was bugged back in the day, if you blew up the deal and destroyed the package you still got thousands of dollars, we didnt play the mission through we just spawned in and tossed some grenades
6:30 YES!! A Vanoss mention!! His videos were the reason i wanted to play gta in the first place, stopping the train and all the wild stuff the crew did was mesmerizing to me and they're still going after all this time
Personally I started GTA very late and missed all the hype when the game was released but I'm so happy that I am here now to experience all of that for GTA 6
Same I started rly late prob 3yrs 😂 I'm lvl 350 and completed the game glitches but I don't do missions I just griefed 😭😭 I was best at sniping and dogfighting 😂
Do not worry. I officially started playing GTA 5 on December 2023. Although I played GTA 5 often on my friends house when I was little, I learned more when I got it the last year. It's a matter of enjoying the game, having fun, entertaining yourself, being amazed and perplexed about it's small and fun details. Truly an amazing game. RDR2 is also a relatively recent top-notch game of Rockstar.
@@Sira144hzyh same. i got it around 2018 but i’m level 530 or something😂 i made memories on there too and watched my uncle make memories as i watched him play it on his PS3
Remember when you were able to press replay on missions, so before they ruined the pay for Rooftop Rumble you could just keep replaying rooftop gaining 25K+
I stopped playing gta online in early 2015, the things I remember the most are swiming down waterfalls and doing off road trails on mt chilliad with some friends
I vividly remember being high enough level to have both the grenade launcher and being able to unlock rooftop rumble as missions you were called up for. Originally before patches came in, you were actually awared 70k for completing the mission as a fixed reward, and with the precise aim with a grenade launcher, you could finish this mission in under 30 seconds from where you spawn on the replay every time. Me and my friend did this for about 3 to 4 hours on friday night at the end of a school week and then spent saturday and sunday showing off all our cars and apartments to the rest of the group. It was soon patched after we did this, but we were able to make millions and at the time before any dlc dropped, having over 10 million in your bank was considered crazy.
3:00 When you were a Playstation victim of not being able to get your progress saved. Rockstar was nice enough to gave all of us $500.000 and then i bought the $400k Apartment and the Comet
I first played GTA Online as soon as the servers went up in 2013. Of course they then got overloaded, but that's a different story. I actually managed to go a couple of years without getting modded money because I was trying to earn all those expensive cars legitimately. Then someone on the PC figured out a mod to give everyone in the lobby millions of GTA Dollars instantly and I was like, well I guess I'll buy that massive waste of money called a yatch now.
4:00 People seem to have forget the real reason rooftop rumble was grinded. It was because the briefcase didn't actually have to be picked up and delivered to Madrazo. You'd go up to the hedge on the eastern side of the garage, shoot a grenade launcher to destroy the case and the mission would instantly complete. Then in the next screen you just pressed "replay mission" because that was a thing back then, you'd spawn right next to the hedge, take cover, fire, mission completed. People were level 200 within a day of release abusing rooftop rumble
Also, singing in the shower for RP and talking "dirty" to the strippers to get the like meter up. Zentorno trick is actually the Entity trick that was really op at the start of the game as most people didn't have the rpg
@@masterticcuI just mentioned that as well entity xf was the first car people used. I myself used it and no one would blow you up cause of how expensive it is to pay for vehicle insurance
Yeah I remember 2013 all right when I first had the game when it just released for my ps3 I was so excited and when I tried playing online for the very first time I had tried multiple attempts but eventually got on I was 13 now I'm 23 turning 24 so when gta6 releases I'll be 25 waw
Man back in the day we were a group of 5 grinding different missions like A Titan of A Job, Rooftop Rumble and a bunch of races. Our goal was to all get a Tank. I didn’t ever really play in Public sessions back then and now so I’ve never witnessed the carnage. But when we all had the Tanks we popped into an open lobby, called em in and wrecked almost everyone. I remember in some lobby’s there was a singular tank “griefing” but then our squad came along and bullied them out of the session. Good times.
Back in 2013-2015 the pistol was literally the best weapon in the game. It would almost always one tap someone to the head and if you were good at rolling you would literally dominate the deathmatch lobby.
I also remember pre nerf when the lazer and rhino had way more health, they actually took alot of rpgs to destory, lazer included, wasnt a 1 shot back then
I don't remember that about the Lazer, but the tank for sure. It got nerfed to the point of being basically useless. Kinda sucks after the fact since it's a lot weaker since then, but I think it was necessary considering how someone in a tank could terrorise a whole session (or Eclipse Blvd).
I took long, looong breaks from GTA online, but started the month after it launched, I remember most of this and miss none of it! Awesome video though, and thanks for the nostalgia! If I can recall anything that's missing here, it would be Jerry Canning players cars to avoid paying the insurance! That was the ultimate payback against griefers!
A few buddies of mine and I powered through the heists when they dropped in 2015. I would jump into public contact missions with an Insurgent for a while and have people asking me how I got it, how much it cost etc. Vehicles you unlocked from heists back then just didn't show up on the website until you unlocked them. Felt kinda cool lol
Back in those early days I remember spending loads of time doing a popular car resell glitch. It has been so long so I don’t remember the process entirely but this glitch was a lobby hoping glitch that allowed you to sell your personal vehicle while keeping it. Once you could afford the Adder you’d upgrade it fully and sell it over and over for around 700k each time. Spent countless hours doing this attaining hundreds of millions. When they patched it you could only sell a vehicle once while still keeping it. After selling the game wouldn’t technically recognize the vehicle as yours and would give you a message that tells you that your vehicle is too expensive to sell leaving you now permanently stuck with that vehicle. I still to this day have several cars that cannot be sold and are stuck in my garage forever.
My arena parking all 3 levels are hideous gold elergys because they would each sell for 1.7 million. I own everything in the game because of those glitches. I did my time in roof top Rumble, crate grinding, and car stealing
How about the rusty rebel car dub glitch? Where you buy 9 rusty rebels and swap them with either a zentorno or an adder before the rebels where deliverd. And when they where delivered you didnt get a rusty rebel but your switched personal vehicle and been able to sell this car for 500K a time, but need to be carefull u didnt sell your bought supercar otherwise your glitch would fail after
Yeah I remember that, it happened around 2014-2015 NoahJ456 got videos still up about them money glitches, that was the only ones I would do. Also I remember being able to get Elegy's and sell them for money But the Rusty Rebels is very ols
Yeah I must be really old because everything you described in the video I remember dearly cuz I played this game since 2013 as well but I did take a year off from playing the game. awesome video man
No mention of the golden Dubsta or whatever it was called? Was my main source of income back in the day. Just hang out in the rich area for it to spawn, steal it, sell it for $50k, repeat the next day.
I remember reaching rank 100 for the first time while grinding Rooftop Rumble over and over with a group of 4. I remember there was another popular grinding mission that took place at a cove, called Coveted. Gosh those were the days
I remeber EARLY on when you died, you lost all your ammo and $2,000 it was later changed too $500 and then what ever it is now. But I remeber robbing a store. Making $1500 dying to cops and having no money.
I started playing GTA 5 in early 2014 so the Zentorno “craze” Is a thing i remember well. When I joined there were chrome, hot pink or purple zentornos driving around. Rooftop rumble is a thing we did a lot, I also did the merryweather thing. I remember that before I got GTA 5 on PS3 and my family members on there helped me rank up, I had it on Xbox 360 and me and my friend would spend any money we had on sticky bombs and we’d steal cars and drive into people with the stickies attached. Good times.
I just remember how big of a game GTA 5 was when it came out, like it was every where. I just miss how simple and new it was where we only had tanks and jets or we played races and custom jobs it was just special. Crazy it’s been a decade…
I miss the loading theme, one downside to fast loading times is that you don’t get to hear it that much. But you know you were cooked when the theme went on for too long 💀💀
Calling a tank and throwing hell into the city, or stealing a jet from Fort Zancudo too, that was so cool. One thing I noticed that still happens on pc is when you're in a session, and out of nowhere everyone on the session "leaves the game", leaving you alone in a public session. Kinda sucks
rooftop rumble got nerfed so many times, initially the meta was to just blow up all the cars and take the briefcase, rockstar made the briefcase destroyable. chemical extraction was also grinded a lot to the point it was removed and changed to a heist setup mission. i'm going to assume that mission where you steal the car full of weed from the weed farm doesn't exist anymore (not gonna check. i grinded that one a lot) i recall launch day in the span of two hours i never even got the privilege to see another player as the servers were so bogged it kept crashing and kicking me out, and the first time it happened it also deleted my character. there were actually a couple of walls they forgot to put collision on, you could climb behind them and become basically invincible. one you could exploit while on one of the survival missions in the desert, but instead of fixing the clipping, they made going near it a failure condition. after years of the nerfing fun and replacing it with nothing, and with rockstar treating players like piggy banks the entire time, i quit playing this failure of game.
The worst thing was calling in the Mechanic 😂 I also remember all the damn glitches, like getting Story mode cars into online lobbies. Or trying to get the Asea (Lester’s car) by creating a second character and having ur friend hold onto it in a lobby.
I miss the old rooftop rumble days. Sure it was tedious but it was simple. 18,750 was what i remember being paid before they changed the cash payouts and i played it on loop for literal hours. I used to invite my friends who weren’t a high enough level to host the job themselves. Pretty much everything on this list is something I remember and I really miss these days. I always hated when the mechanic would steal my car when he delivered it though.
Y’all. We’re all touching 30 or already have. This was a crazy throwback. Haven’t finished yet, but the money glitch of choice around day one was duping cars. It was so easy. You’d literally fully mod a Dominator, sell it, then switch sessions as fast as possible. You’d have the money and the car. I think it was about 180k Edit: The other “money glitch” was robbing a store, switching sessions, then robbing the same one. Over and over and over and over again
I remember at one point after online launched, Rockstar sent out a bunch of in game money as an apology for something or other. I used that to get an apartment with garage and some cars. After stopping playing for a while, when I came back, my garage was now empty, but I still had any businesses, properties and my level. This first couple years were rough
I remember getting 2 billion from a hacker in early 2014, I bought EVERYTHING I could before Rockstar reseting my (and many others) money like a month later. Simpler times
This video was dope remembering the og days especially the money drops giving players money and everything else it crazy how gta 5 online has changed threw the years and how a lot of people won’t experience that at all
Other than losing a character, literally every single one of these man. So much nostalgia. I'll never forget waking up an hour early for school the morning GTA Online finally released, so I could make my character and explore real quick. Almost missed the bus because I didn't except the intro to be so long with Lamar. The good ol days
I did the car stealing and selling thing quite a bit, had a whole garage full of cars I'd stolen and took them to the shop to sell every twenty minutes. Also of course I'd rob stores with buddies. Eventually we learned about stealing lasers too, but never played much because of the load times. Then I came back for the Heists DLC and had some fun with those, but just my one buddy played GTA with me so we got tired of having to play with randoms for the other two players so we eventually quit after failing endlessly on the prison heist. Fast forward to COVID and I've grinded this game like crazy. I basically own everything on every platform thanks to passive income and grinding the Nightclub, Acid Lab and now the Salvage Yard tows/robberies. I did the Bunker for a while but got tired of glitched missions like the IPC one's helis or running around in the buggy for twenty minutes with low payout. I still suck mostly at PVP because I have life obligations and other fun things to do outside the home, but it's fun to try to get griefers back with different approaches with all the weaponized options and Mk2 weapons.
On the contrary to what most people think, I really like the Chrome paint job on cars. Whenever I sell one from the veichle warehouse or would deliver to Simeon at the docks I apply chrome and pretend the car is a prototype.
i miss 2013, i was the modder giving people money and accounts back then i made so much real money in the process. but giving away free money always made me feel good
I Really Missed Chemical Extraction !!! Coveted Was Fabulous & Was Lamar’s No Smoking Mission A Follow Up From Where We Dropped The Container From Coveted ? Ranking Up Was So Slow & I Know I’m A Genuine High Level. I Just Missed Having Friends As Every New Update Needed 2-4 Players. I Got A Genuine World Record In My Cheetah Racing Around Where Blow Up 2 Was & Around The Hospital. Then Came PC Version & People Were Doing 2sec’s Laps. Why Rockstar Didn’t Sort That Out, I Don’t Know. I Was Playing Morning Til Night But I Don’t Have Any Motivation Anymore & I’m Lucky To Turn The Game On Every 3 Days & I Turn Off After 2Hrs Max. Nice Video Of The Past My Friend !!!
Rooftop rumble payed upwards of 75k in early years of release. There was a time when the longer you took on the given mission, it would pay more up to a maximum.
I started playing in December 2013 and it was absolutely fantastic and more enjoyable than today. It was such a different time; where gaming and society probably peaked. I was still in high school at the time and I played it on most of my off weekends. I met some great guys in GTA online. I'm still friends with some of them today! We've kept in contact all these years and its awesome. I remember how my friends and I would take selfies of us doing the most random shit.
If you played gta online from launch on xbox360 or PlayStation 3 the online came out a week after the campaign and I was grinding races the first few months, before even rooftop rumble, small circle race around the prison would get you completely broken payouts around 20-30k for 2-3 laps if you placed high enough was good at the beginning
Bro I did not expect to hear rooftop rumble, i literally played it last week just for a nostalgia kick and it honestly made me sad at how fast I soloed it when I had no shot of soloing back in the day.
I remember all these lol. I remember when GTA V online services launched the lobbies got so overcrowded by so many people wanting to join it would crash the servers. I remember when it took me a week to be able to get into a lobby for more than a few minutes. I also remember when I was trying to reach rank 120 I ground Roof Top rumble for two and a half hours.
It was a Chrome Adder/Entity XF with Pink/LimeGreen Dolla Rims. Coveted was also good Grind Mission for players who couldn’t host RR because you needed to be a level 75 to host. Rooftop Rumble paid about $18.5K, it was less after the LS Flight School Update. The Entity XF was also the original bulletproof car from behind. The Rhino wasn’t just scary because of lack of counters. It was scary because it took like 20 RPGs to take out. It had the armor of the current RC TANK. If it returned to its former glory, apart from the MK2, it would still be difficult to take out.
I remember the match making far too well. I stayed in the clouds for almost an hour before it finally loaded me into a session before dying by some random player.
Thumbnail couldn’t be truer. Seeing all this stuff makes me feel old even though I was like 9-10 when online first launched and when I first started playing. Old Gen were the good old days. I’m glad they got rid of the dumbass mechanic, I’ve had many fist fights with that mfer. I also remember being the best lazer pilot in every lobby, basically lived in the damn thing. I started playing again back in 2019, and it was okay, but it’s just not the same. I just kinda quit playing by the contract update in 2022, kinda sad. Thanks for bringing so much memories back to me. Cheers. And to anyone out there from the ps3 days that’s reading this, it’s ato20200 and thanks for the memories and for one of the best online game experiences I’ve ever had.
No mk2s no orbital jets were only from stealing them at the military. Grinding rooftop rumble and getting the eclipse tower and then a 10 car garage of super cars. Watching vanoss posting the best videos I’ve seen come out of gta. Holy shit i was in the good days and I didn’t even know to appreciate it.
I’m considered a veteran of gta online. As I continue to play the game, I notice these tryhards and more players don’t have legit levels or time put in. Back then everyone had fun and knew how to play 😊

The grind was definitely real back in the day 😅
I remember I had a 100 million bounty put on me and I left the lobby. Had a ton of messages of people calling me a pussy for leaving😂
i would’ve done the same lmao
💀
nobody getting paid
I had a bounty on me for around that amount of money or possibly way more, I stayed in my apartment for the 45 minutes it takes for you to get the money. I had people waiting outside my apartment sending me messages too telling me to stop being a bitch and fight for the money lmaoo. I was like fuck you mean fight for it, I’m not taking any chances
Lmaoo
0:45 back then modders were good people doing gods work 😢
Except most of the times, it resulted in you getting your account banned/reset. I remember it being one of the ways modders would troll players. They would spawn on random players and just start dropping tons of money around them, making it impossible for the players to avoid picking up the money. And since those players would be obtaining large amounts of money much faster than possible in the game, it would trigger the anti-cheat systems and result in your account getting banned or reset by RockStar unless you could prove that it was a modder trolling you.
Rooftop Rumble was bugged back in the day, if you blew up the deal and destroyed the package you still got thousands of dollars, we didnt play the mission through we just spawned in and tossed some grenades
I miss the old money trucks.
Same here
1:55 I remember my character getting deleted too, didn’t play again until 2020 when I finally made another 😂
6:30 YES!! A Vanoss mention!! His videos were the reason i wanted to play gta in the first place, stopping the train and all the wild stuff the crew did was mesmerizing to me and they're still going after all this time
Personally I started GTA very late and missed all the hype when the game was released but I'm so happy that I am here now to experience all of that for GTA 6
Same I started rly late prob 3yrs 😂 I'm lvl 350 and completed the game glitches but I don't do missions I just griefed 😭😭 I was best at sniping and dogfighting 😂
Bro Same I started playing back in mid 2021. I've never played back then but I am very happy to witness what gta was like back then
Do not worry. I officially started playing GTA 5 on December 2023. Although I played GTA 5 often on my friends house when I was little, I learned more when I got it the last year. It's a matter of enjoying the game, having fun, entertaining yourself, being amazed and perplexed about it's small and fun details. Truly an amazing game. RDR2 is also a relatively recent top-notch game of Rockstar.
@@TheFounderAdministrator same I played gta on my older cousins ps4 and I regret when fortnite came out I didn't wanna play it now I love fn 💪😭
@@Sira144hzyh same. i got it around 2018 but i’m level 530 or something😂 i made memories on there too and watched my uncle make memories as i watched him play it on his PS3
Rooftop rumble is encoded in my life, not gta character, I religiously played that mission holy hell you took me back
Remember when you were able to press replay on missions, so before they ruined the pay for Rooftop Rumble you could just keep replaying rooftop gaining 25K+
I remember the tricks to buy unlisted items, like the cargobob. Came in handy so much instead of trying to get one to spawn.
Or you could steal a cargobob lol
I stopped playing gta online in early 2015, the things I remember the most are swiming down waterfalls and doing off road trails on mt chilliad with some friends
4:10 i rememebr doing rooftop rumble that waiting when u went to madrazos house for like 10 mins cuz u would get extra money
You just brought back memories LMAO
damn this was post patch rooftop rumble, crazy how long this mission was used
I still remember on my 360 account I begged a modder to give me billions of dollars 😂. He did then I filled up my garage up with T20s.
I vividly remember being high enough level to have both the grenade launcher and being able to unlock rooftop rumble as missions you were called up for.
Originally before patches came in, you were actually awared 70k for completing the mission as a fixed reward, and with the precise aim with a grenade launcher, you could finish this mission in under 30 seconds from where you spawn on the replay every time.
Me and my friend did this for about 3 to 4 hours on friday night at the end of a school week and then spent saturday and sunday showing off all our cars and apartments to the rest of the group. It was soon patched after we did this, but we were able to make millions and at the time before any dlc dropped, having over 10 million in your bank was considered crazy.
3:00 When you were a Playstation victim of not being able to get your progress saved. Rockstar was nice enough to gave all of us $500.000 and then i bought the $400k Apartment and the Comet
I first played GTA Online as soon as the servers went up in 2013. Of course they then got overloaded, but that's a different story. I actually managed to go a couple of years without getting modded money because I was trying to earn all those expensive cars legitimately. Then someone on the PC figured out a mod to give everyone in the lobby millions of GTA Dollars instantly and I was like, well I guess I'll buy that massive waste of money called a yatch now.
Man I miss the good ol days🖤
2013-2017 Was GTA in its PRIME
4:00 People seem to have forget the real reason rooftop rumble was grinded. It was because the briefcase didn't actually have to be picked up and delivered to Madrazo. You'd go up to the hedge on the eastern side of the garage, shoot a grenade launcher to destroy the case and the mission would instantly complete. Then in the next screen you just pressed "replay mission" because that was a thing back then, you'd spawn right next to the hedge, take cover, fire, mission completed. People were level 200 within a day of release abusing rooftop rumble
Also, singing in the shower for RP and talking "dirty" to the strippers to get the like meter up. Zentorno trick is actually the Entity trick that was really op at the start of the game as most people didn't have the rpg
@@masterticcuI just mentioned that as well entity xf was the first car people used. I myself used it and no one would blow you up cause of how expensive it is to pay for vehicle insurance
@@brandonmcclary7900 Yeah I don't know why he brought up the Zentorno. It was definitely the Entity all the way back then
Yeah I remember 2013 all right when I first had the game when it just released for my ps3 I was so excited and when I tried playing online for the very first time I had tried multiple attempts but eventually got on I was 13 now I'm 23 turning 24 so when gta6 releases I'll be 25 waw
It Really A long Time Journey for you Bro hatsoff🎉
Completely the same for me. Also born in 2000 brother 😎
Man back in the day we were a group of 5 grinding different missions like A Titan of A Job, Rooftop Rumble and a bunch of races. Our goal was to all get a Tank. I didn’t ever really play in Public sessions back then and now so I’ve never witnessed the carnage. But when we all had the Tanks we popped into an open lobby, called em in and wrecked almost everyone. I remember in some lobby’s there was a singular tank “griefing” but then our squad came along and bullied them out of the session. Good times.
Back in 2013-2015 the pistol was literally the best weapon in the game. It would almost always one tap someone to the head and if you were good at rolling you would literally dominate the deathmatch lobby.
Imagine just vibing and all of a sudden, someone puts a $200M bounty on you.
I also remember pre nerf when the lazer and rhino had way more health, they actually took alot of rpgs to destory, lazer included, wasnt a 1 shot back then
I don't remember that about the Lazer, but the tank for sure. It got nerfed to the point of being basically useless. Kinda sucks after the fact since it's a lot weaker since then, but I think it was necessary considering how someone in a tank could terrorise a whole session (or Eclipse Blvd).
the chrome adder brought back a memory 😂😂
I took long, looong breaks from GTA online, but started the month after it launched, I remember most of this and miss none of it! Awesome video though, and thanks for the nostalgia! If I can recall anything that's missing here, it would be Jerry Canning players cars to avoid paying the insurance! That was the ultimate payback against griefers!
gta 5 came out on my birthday, i turned 12 the day it released! depending when gta 6 comes out i will be 23-24 crazy
A few buddies of mine and I powered through the heists when they dropped in 2015. I would jump into public contact missions with an Insurgent for a while and have people asking me how I got it, how much it cost etc.
Vehicles you unlocked from heists back then just didn't show up on the website until you unlocked them. Felt kinda cool lol
Saving up to buy an Adder back in the day by robbing stores was so cool. Nowadays any car release is $1.5 million and it’s not the same anymore.
Back in those early days I remember spending loads of time doing a popular car resell glitch. It has been so long so I don’t remember the process entirely but this glitch was a lobby hoping glitch that allowed you to sell your personal vehicle while keeping it. Once you could afford the Adder you’d upgrade it fully and sell it over and over for around 700k each time. Spent countless hours doing this attaining hundreds of millions. When they patched it you could only sell a vehicle once while still keeping it. After selling the game wouldn’t technically recognize the vehicle as yours and would give you a message that tells you that your vehicle is too expensive to sell leaving you now permanently stuck with that vehicle. I still to this day have several cars that cannot be sold and are stuck in my garage forever.
Or the one where you bring cars from story mode to sell too
My arena parking all 3 levels are hideous gold elergys because they would each sell for 1.7 million. I own everything in the game because of those glitches. I did my time in roof top Rumble, crate grinding, and car stealing
Here to stop kids saying zero views in zero seconds
Edit: Holy shites 432likes?

Ft its annoying to see
No
Fr
Thank you
thx for the trip down memories lane bro it was great hearing about the old days again
How about the rusty rebel car dub glitch?
Where you buy 9 rusty rebels and swap them with either a zentorno or an adder before the rebels where deliverd. And when they where delivered you didnt get a rusty rebel but your switched personal vehicle and been able to sell this car for 500K a time, but need to be carefull u didnt sell your bought supercar otherwise your glitch would fail after
Yeah I remember that, it happened around 2014-2015
NoahJ456 got videos still up about them money glitches, that was the only ones I would do. Also I remember being able to get Elegy's and sell them for money
But the Rusty Rebels is very ols
Yeah I must be really old because everything you described in the video I remember dearly cuz I played this game since 2013 as well but I did take a year off from playing the game.
awesome video man
No mention of the golden Dubsta or whatever it was called? Was my main source of income back in the day. Just hang out in the rich area for it to spawn, steal it, sell it for $50k, repeat the next day.
I remember reaching rank 100 for the first time while grinding Rooftop Rumble over and over with a group of 4. I remember there was another popular grinding mission that took place at a cove, called Coveted. Gosh those were the days
*sigh*
The good ol days
I remeber EARLY on when you died, you lost all your ammo and $2,000 it was later changed too $500 and then what ever it is now. But I remeber robbing a store. Making $1500 dying to cops and having no money.
The Money Glitch was the best😭🔥🔥
Thank You TGG I miss those days and I been playing since the beginning. 😊
I got the notification for this video whilst listening to change of coast by Neon Indian at work.. weird. But a good weird.
I started playing GTA 5 in early 2014 so the Zentorno “craze” Is a thing i remember well. When I joined there were chrome, hot pink or purple zentornos driving around. Rooftop rumble is a thing we did a lot, I also did the merryweather thing. I remember that before I got GTA 5 on PS3 and my family members on there helped me rank up, I had it on Xbox 360 and me and my friend would spend any money we had on sticky bombs and we’d steal cars and drive into people with the stickies attached. Good times.
2013 modded lobbies were not a thing. First rpf script mods were launched in late 2014 on update 1.13 and could only drop $2000 per bag
Zentorno did not come in 2013. Was introduced in May 2014
7:00 Mechanic was removed in 1.11
9:00 will be testing this soon. Because i SWEAR you’ve always had the interaction menu in online
I just remember how big of a game GTA 5 was when it came out, like it was every where.
I just miss how simple and new it was where we only had tanks and jets or we played races and custom jobs it was just special.
Crazy it’s been a decade…
I miss the loading theme, one downside to fast loading times is that you don’t get to hear it that much. But you know you were cooked when the theme went on for too long 💀💀
Calling a tank and throwing hell into the city, or stealing a jet from Fort Zancudo too, that was so cool.
One thing I noticed that still happens on pc is when you're in a session, and out of nowhere everyone on the session "leaves the game", leaving you alone in a public session. Kinda sucks
rooftop rumble got nerfed so many times, initially the meta was to just blow up all the cars and take the briefcase, rockstar made the briefcase destroyable.
chemical extraction was also grinded a lot to the point it was removed and changed to a heist setup mission.
i'm going to assume that mission where you steal the car full of weed from the weed farm doesn't exist anymore (not gonna check. i grinded that one a lot)
i recall launch day in the span of two hours i never even got the privilege to see another player as the servers were so bogged it kept crashing and kicking me out, and the first time it happened it also deleted my character.
there were actually a couple of walls they forgot to put collision on, you could climb behind them and become basically invincible. one you could exploit while on one of the survival missions in the desert, but instead of fixing the clipping, they made going near it a failure condition.
after years of the nerfing fun and replacing it with nothing, and with rockstar treating players like piggy banks the entire time, i quit playing this failure of game.
The worst thing was calling in the Mechanic 😂 I also remember all the damn glitches, like getting Story mode cars into online lobbies. Or trying to get the Asea (Lester’s car) by creating a second character and having ur friend hold onto it in a lobby.
Only real OGs remember the mission Coveted.
Yooo i totally remember the mechanic delivering the car!!! Man this video is amazing!!!!
I miss the old rooftop rumble days. Sure it was tedious but it was simple. 18,750 was what i remember being paid before they changed the cash payouts and i played it on loop for literal hours. I used to invite my friends who weren’t a high enough level to host the job themselves. Pretty much everything on this list is something I remember and I really miss these days. I always hated when the mechanic would steal my car when he delivered it though.
Rooftop Rumble was the sh1t back then, I remember giving and getting mad invites to that mission
Y’all. We’re all touching 30 or already have. This was a crazy throwback. Haven’t finished yet, but the money glitch of choice around day one was duping cars. It was so easy. You’d literally fully mod a Dominator, sell it, then switch sessions as fast as possible. You’d have the money and the car. I think it was about 180k
Edit: The other “money glitch” was robbing a store, switching sessions, then robbing the same one. Over and over and over and over again
Every thing u said in this video brought me back. I wish those servers were still up at least.
I remember at one point after online launched, Rockstar sent out a bunch of in game money as an apology for something or other. I used that to get an apartment with garage and some cars. After stopping playing for a while, when I came back, my garage was now empty, but I still had any businesses, properties and my level. This first couple years were rough
I remember getting 2 billion from a hacker in early 2014, I bought EVERYTHING I could before Rockstar reseting my (and many others) money like a month later. Simpler times
This video was dope remembering the og days especially the money drops giving players money and everything else it crazy how gta 5 online has changed threw the years and how a lot of people won’t experience that at all
Other than losing a character, literally every single one of these man. So much nostalgia. I'll never forget waking up an hour early for school the morning GTA Online finally released, so I could make my character and explore real quick. Almost missed the bus because I didn't except the intro to be so long with Lamar. The good ol days
Also, I miss when fun player-made modes came out like Rockets vs Insurgents, that was also so fun
I did the car stealing and selling thing quite a bit, had a whole garage full of cars I'd stolen and took them to the shop to sell every twenty minutes. Also of course I'd rob stores with buddies. Eventually we learned about stealing lasers too, but never played much because of the load times.
Then I came back for the Heists DLC and had some fun with those, but just my one buddy played GTA with me so we got tired of having to play with randoms for the other two players so we eventually quit after failing endlessly on the prison heist.
Fast forward to COVID and I've grinded this game like crazy. I basically own everything on every platform thanks to passive income and grinding the Nightclub, Acid Lab and now the Salvage Yard tows/robberies. I did the Bunker for a while but got tired of glitched missions like the IPC one's helis or running around in the buggy for twenty minutes with low payout.
I still suck mostly at PVP because I have life obligations and other fun things to do outside the home, but it's fun to try to get griefers back with different approaches with all the weaponized options and Mk2 weapons.
The nostalgias strong with this one (even the background song so majestic) 🥹🥹🥹🥹
I still occasionally steal a laser from zancudo just for the fun, despite owning loads of my own planes including the Hydra and raiju
On the contrary to what most people think, I really like the Chrome paint job on cars. Whenever I sell one from the veichle warehouse or would deliver to Simeon at the docks I apply chrome and pretend the car is a prototype.
I remember all of that. Thanks for the walk down memory lane. Liked and subbed
i miss 2013, i was the modder giving people money and accounts back then i made so much real money in the process. but giving away free money always made me feel good
Mannn, I’m a OG GTA member the grind was real asf back then 💯
I Really Missed Chemical Extraction !!! Coveted Was Fabulous & Was Lamar’s No Smoking Mission A Follow Up From Where We Dropped The Container From Coveted ? Ranking Up Was So Slow & I Know I’m A Genuine High Level. I Just Missed Having Friends As Every New Update Needed 2-4 Players. I Got A Genuine World Record In My Cheetah Racing Around Where Blow Up 2 Was & Around The Hospital. Then Came PC Version & People Were Doing 2sec’s Laps. Why Rockstar Didn’t Sort That Out, I Don’t Know. I Was Playing Morning Til Night But I Don’t Have Any Motivation Anymore & I’m Lucky To Turn The Game On Every 3 Days & I Turn Off After 2Hrs Max. Nice Video Of The Past My Friend !!!
Rooftop rumble payed upwards of 75k in early years of release. There was a time when the longer you took on the given mission, it would pay more up to a maximum.
I remember there was a time when seeing a tank appear on the map made everyone want to leave lol . Tanks were scary as hell back then lol
I remember being excited to get to Lv100 because I could finally buy the Dubsta 6x6.
instead of rooftop rumble i was playing boneyard survival over and over
Man they would have you in the clouds for 30mins
I started playing in December 2013 and it was absolutely fantastic and more enjoyable than today. It was such a different time; where gaming and society probably peaked.
I was still in high school at the time and I played it on most of my off weekends. I met some great guys in GTA online. I'm still friends with some of them today! We've kept in contact all these years and its awesome.
I remember how my friends and I would take selfies of us doing the most random shit.
If you played gta online from launch on xbox360 or PlayStation 3 the online came out a week after the campaign and I was grinding races the first few months, before even rooftop rumble, small circle race around the prison would get you completely broken payouts around 20-30k for 2-3 laps if you placed high enough was good at the beginning
Dude the xp glitch!!
Bro I did not expect to hear rooftop rumble, i literally played it last week just for a nostalgia kick and it honestly made me sad at how fast I soloed it when I had no shot of soloing back in the day.
I remember all these lol. I remember when GTA V online services launched the lobbies got so overcrowded by so many people wanting to join it would crash the servers. I remember when it took me a week to be able to get into a lobby for more than a few minutes. I also remember when I was trying to reach rank 120 I ground Roof Top rumble for two and a half hours.
It was a Chrome Adder/Entity XF with Pink/LimeGreen Dolla Rims.
Coveted was also good Grind Mission for players who couldn’t host RR because you needed to be a level 75 to host.
Rooftop Rumble paid about $18.5K, it was less after the LS Flight School Update.
The Entity XF was also the original bulletproof car from behind.
The Rhino wasn’t just scary because of lack of counters. It was scary because it took like 20 RPGs to take out. It had the armor of the current RC TANK. If it returned to its former glory, apart from the MK2, it would still be difficult to take out.
I remember the match making far too well. I stayed in the clouds for almost an hour before it finally loaded me into a session before dying by some random player.
Thumbnail couldn’t be truer. Seeing all this stuff makes me feel old even though I was like 9-10 when online first launched and when I first started playing. Old Gen were the good old days. I’m glad they got rid of the dumbass mechanic, I’ve had many fist fights with that mfer. I also remember being the best lazer pilot in every lobby, basically lived in the damn thing. I started playing again back in 2019, and it was okay, but it’s just not the same. I just kinda quit playing by the contract update in 2022, kinda sad. Thanks for bringing so much memories back to me. Cheers. And to anyone out there from the ps3 days that’s reading this, it’s ato20200 and thanks for the memories and for one of the best online game experiences I’ve ever had.
Man, so many memories with this game since 2014, unbelievable how time has passed so fast and were now in 2024 and next year we gettin GTA VI
No mk2s no orbital jets were only from stealing them at the military. Grinding rooftop rumble and getting the eclipse tower and then a 10 car garage of super cars. Watching vanoss posting the best videos I’ve seen come out of gta. Holy shit i was in the good days and I didn’t even know to appreciate it.
I’m considered a veteran of gta online. As I continue to play the game, I notice these tryhards and more players don’t have legit levels or time put in. Back then everyone had fun and knew how to play 😊
Rooftop Rumble & Los Santos Connection from Lester as well as Titan of a Job (also used for glitches back then) MAN what a time!
