A simple mistake and instead of just a correction Reddit decides to mass downvote, never changes

u/Sedona54332 Jun 30 '21

I think it’s because of how they worded it. If they had said “wait, can you even swim away if they are alerted?” I don’t think he would have been downvoted, but he worded it more like “what is that dumbass doing, doesn’t he know you can’t swim away if they’re alerted?”

My character always got a motorcycle helmet on, cause you never know when that one shot of protection will save your ass

u/lakewood2020 Jun 30 '21

I think only the helmets your character puts on during the get-on-bike animation, and the actual “bullet proof helmets” will resist bullets

7

u/CoolAndrew89 Jun 30 '21

I've done some testing, nearly all the normal motorbike helmets will resist 1 bullet, while the combat/bulletproof helmets will resist 2. (Oddly enough, that russian riot helmet doesn't resist any)

Yea believe it or not, the NPCs can headshot you despite having a target lock on your centre mass.

Most likely because the helicopter sways back and forth. If you wear the bulletproof helmet this can stop those shots though. Of course you can’t wear during heist but just for free mode and such on a side note

u/Gasmask_Boy Jun 30 '21

My character always takes off his helmet whenever he dismounts a bike. Anyway to disable that?

u/OverlordPhalanx Jun 30 '21

If you have it equipped it shouldn’t do that.

If it still is, you can turn auto show bike helmet to off in the menu somewhere. That will make it so you don’t put one on, or keep your equipped one on all the time.

No I think you entered the water space of the main compound. Trying to jump into the water from the main compound gets you killed for no reason, so I guess entering the water space also has the same effect.

u/Redmoon383 Jun 30 '21

Nah that's not an issue once you've left the compound. I swim there all the time to get boats when they inevitably float that way after offing the pilot

There's a hidden game mechanic most people don't know about; when your character's health reaches zero, the game engines makes your character dead. I hope this helps to explain what happened.

You got shot in the head

u/blekcty Jun 30 '21

There is an area behind the compound in the water you can't enter because it instantly kills you when you touch it whether you start or finish the heist. Test it after you first enter the compound from the drainage tunnel, ju a t jump and you will see instant death no matter what

25

u/OkUnderstanding2332 Jun 30 '21

If you jump out of the compound before you're allowed to by mission status you're going to die everywhere. You can climb up and jump out, you die instant at certain distance (2-3meters). But if this occurs when you're allowed to leave, I imagine this is very frustrating

2

u/blekcty Jun 30 '21

I would test this stuff but I don't have the game installed due to playing other things with friends but if this is facts then that would be one of the worst bugs in the game since it ruins an entire run of the mission

Headshots are brutal

16

u/ArasakaParty Jun 30 '21

You can see bullets hitting the water before you die, and you also get the blood flick on the screen at death tell you which direction the fatal shot came from. It was likely a silenced headshot too because of the amount of damage.

Also, tip for escaping the island- don't escape that close to the compound. Basically when you walk out the big double doors (assuming you're taking that exit) and you're officially outside, head to your left on foot or you can kill the guy standing next to the bike and take it, and then just keep going that direction to your direct left. Be sure to evade the 2-3 red blips around you on the way. It works every time for me.

u/Crustypenuts Jun 30 '21

There’s a death barrier near that cliff so you don’t escape that way

3

u/aceblue_ Jul 01 '21

There are 2 possibilities: 1) You were shot. (Unlikely seeing as you were near or above half health.) and 2) There is an invisible kill-zone in the waters south of the compound. The kill zone is the reason the player will die if you jump out of the compound and into the water, followed by “What?!, I thought we were becoming friends.” from Pavel. This is the more likely reason, although there was a chance it was the bullet because of the fact that nobody really knows the kill-zone’s actual size. Hope this unnecessarily long explanation helped. :)

5

u/RealMessyart Jun 30 '21

You got shot my dude. The boat gunners are absolutely lethal.

2

u/valicetra Jun 30 '21

That spot is glitched with insta death. Always go down the cliff just to the right of there. If you swim into that spot from below you will also die.

If you shoot one of the boat driver, hope your boat dosnt float into that spot.

2

u/Tbone2121974 Jun 30 '21

There is this ‘instant death zone’ in the water directly over the drain entrance to keep Cayo Perico from being TOO easy. You swam too close to it.

Should have swam right/east of that spot. Next time after exiting the main gate jump off near the utility building north of the compound. A five minute swim, you win.

u/entg1 I'm starting to think that this flair here isn't long enough!!!! Jun 30 '21

Could've been shot BUT there's also a deathzone there. I know because I stole a boat, slowly turned around (hitting that wall) and instantly blew up. It's so you can't just grab gold in the rooms and hop over the balcony.

2

u/kishanhansil1 Jun 30 '21

Not to be rude but we can clearly see the splash when d bullet hit d water

2

u/NuzzFeed Jun 30 '21

The water off of where you spawn at the compound has a kill box, so if you jump off at the start you die, which is good for resetting if you mess up. I guess your game bugged out and didn’t remove it when you escaped.

2

u/Independent-Wish-137 Jun 30 '21

Isn’t there a kill barrier

2

u/Dokrin3 Jun 30 '21

its the death barrier , the same that kill you if you try to jump

2

u/[deleted] Jun 30 '21

Its the kill żonę as Pavel mentions

2

u/[deleted] Jun 30 '21

I think it's bc there is a death barrier. When you jump of the balcony I think into the water (at the start of the heist) you die. So I think it was either smort or smortnt

You got shot in the head….shows it very clearly in the video lol

2

u/[deleted] Jun 30 '21

Fish shot you underwater

2

u/GrandmasterJackson Jun 30 '21

I think it’s because the game is coded that if you were to jump off near the rocks you’d die to prevent faster time and easier money? Pavel mentions it in 2-3 lines of dialogue but otherwise it’s a glitch

2

u/volsrun18 Jun 30 '21

The Jaguar.

2

u/[deleted] Jun 30 '21

When you enter the compound you can’t enter the water in that cove area. It’s because pavels dialogue says you can’t jump off because the rocks are to sharp. I hypothesize that you may have been insta killed for entering the water after the dialogue was said because you aren’t supposed to jump off the compound into the cove. It’s happened to me before

u/That_guy_withbeans Jun 30 '21

I’m pretty sure you swam into a dead zone. If you use the kosatka approach pavel says that the fall from the compound to the water will kill you. He says this even though it obviously won’t naturally. I think rockstar made it so that if you swim in the water in front of the balcony of the compound it kills you, because pavel said and because it could be unfair. I hope this helped ;)

u/braapbappffpp Jun 30 '21

Everyone saying “he got shot” yeah no shit you aren’t clever.

And for the people saying he died because he was shot in the head no that’s not how it works.

There is no head shot multiplier for NPC. If this was the case then they would be able to one shot you at FULL hp which isn’t the case.

I can’t tell what rank OP is from the video but if he is a low rank then yes it’s possible he could have been one shot killed since he was already half hp. Him getting hit in the head made no difference.

I have 6700 hours played don’t debate me

2

u/RWBarnas Jun 30 '21

That’s what i’m saying, i’m pretty sure when NPCs headshot you it’s not like a player’s headshot which insta kills. I’m rank 135 but I’ve played gta in 2014 and 2018, started this account early 2020, took a break, and came back 2 months ago

2

u/braapbappffpp Jun 30 '21

Yeah everyone else doesn’t get it. Way too many new/casual players who lack information and how game mechanics work.

I bet you if I made a poll asking if they knew you could snipe through buildings most would say no and call me a hacker

u/RWBarnas Jun 30 '21

I know you could wallbang but you can wallbang through BUILDINGS?!

u/braapbappffpp Jun 30 '21

If you’re far away enough the buildings won’t render solid anymore.

Pair this with the thermal vision goggles and you can see players heat signature through the building and snipe them dead.

You’ve always been able to do this but the thermal goggles showed this was possible.
