Grand Theft Auto V Game Guide

Grand Theft Auto V aka GTA V as we all know it, has been around for a long while now (since 2013, aka 7 years to be exact) and it looks like it isn't going anywhere anytime soon. Rockstar Games announced that GTA V will be upgraded and available for the PS5 and Xbox Series X in 2021. It has now spanned 3 generations of consoles from the days of the PS3 and Xbox 360 to the PS4 and Xbox One, and now the next gen consoles.

GTA Online is still very popular and with the release of the next gen consoles, it's good to touch up on some tips and advice to improve your experience and get ahead of your rivals.

Whether you're just starting up GTA Online or just looking for useful information, here are some valuable tips:

• Deposit Your Cash. It's no secret that GTA Online can be a dangerous place. When you die, you drop some cash, so it's best to deposit any cash you have into your bank so it's safe. You can do this via ATMs, or via your phone's web browser (it's faster!).
• Double Money Events. Double money events pop up weekly for different things including Gunrunning and Time Trials that will net you more money than usually.
• Invest in Insurance. Insurance for your car means it can be replaced if it's lost, stolen, or destroyed. It'll be delivered to you as well - keep in mind there is still a fee for this service.
• Get a Garage. Even a less expensive garage will save you a lot of hassle so you can store your nice cars safely.
• Get a High-End Apartment. As soon as you hit level 12, you can start doing heists - but you need a high-end apartment. The cheapest will cost you $200k, but it'll be worth it to make a lot more money.
• Join a Crew! Earn an extra 10% in RP for each mission you complete while in a crew.

If you're on your own, you may find it difficult to aim, shoot, and accelerate all at once. By placing aim and shoot on your paddles, you can still drive and defend yourself (or go on the offensive) without having to have someone else there specifically to shoot.

You can also set in the inner paddles to swap out your weapon, and look behind you if you're being chased.

Remap Rudder controls, Switch Weapons, and Lookback on your paddles so you can look around all while swapping weapons - and you don't have to play Claw to do it all which is better for your hands.

By mapping Dodge Roll, Take Cover, Switch Weapon, and Sprint to your paddles, you won't have to take your fingers off the thumbsticks or your fingers off the triggers. This will give you a huge advantage during firefights and give you the edge to survive.

High Performance Grip

While you're playing for hours on end to make money and have fun, high-performance grip will reduce slippage and increase comfort during long hours of play. It'll be more comfortable, but you also won't have the controller slipping around.

Run Los Santos

Most of all, remember enjoying the game is what it really is all about. Whether that is running a nightclub, doing some heists, stealing cars - it's your call.
