GTA 5 Online Patch 1.26 Unlimited Money Glitch Found

One Angry Gamer "It never ends. As often as Rockstar goes out of their way to patch and fix the glitches, cheats and exploits that gamers find, someone will spend all day (or maybe two) to find out some way to beat the system. In this case, a new duplication glitch was found that works before patch 1.24/1.26 for the Xbox One, Xbox 360, PS3 and the PS4. Luckily, PC gamers don’t have to deal with such cheap tricks and can just use the native trainer for their cheating and duplication needs."

The only reason Rockstar patches these things out is so that they can sell their ridiculously priced Shark Cards to people. If everyone in GTA Online had infinite money it would not negatively impact the game at all, but nope, gotta make those microtransactions desirable...

"If everyone in GTA Online had infinite money it would not negatively impact the game at all, but nope, gotta make those microtransactions desirable..."

It would impact the game HUGE in a negative way. If everyone has infinite money, then no one would play the jobs, cause why bother. Sure they're fun, but if there is no incentive, you'll stop playing them after a few. So the jobs would be dead, nobody would be playing them anymore. Also free roam would be a war zone. Everyone would have tanks, heli's etc and call mercenaries, set bounties, call for backup, call mugger, call Lester etc non-stop. It's fun for an hour, but that really gets old and annoying. Every session you join is filled with tanks, you'll have bounty 99% of the time and everyone keeps sending mercenaries. Sure you can choose passive mode, but then you can't do ANYTHING. Also, where is the fun in buying en tuning cars when you can just buy everything, just like everyone else.

GTA Online is fine the way it is, it's very balanced as is. If people want to buy a tank, they need to play jobs in order to purchase one. Money is the central stone in GTA Online, EVERYTHING revolves around money. If you have infinite money, you'll have infinity EVERYTING. Sounds fun, but it will destroy the game for most people. The Shard cards are not only to earn money for Rockstar, they also make sure that there are at least options for people to earn money without having too much play time. The price make sure not everyone will buy a lot of them, that's why they're set so high. If Rockstar REALLY wanted to make money they would have slashed the prices and sold all the DLC since launch. Instead they keep the Shard price high and give free DLC. To ensure the community stays intact and avoid destroying the game with infinite money.

GTA Online is fine.

Crimzon3697d ago

Well, my two biggest criticisms of what you said are as follows.

Heists & Jobs: If nobody would play them any more, that means that people don't find them very fun which is a failure on Rockstar's part for bad game design. You know, a while ago people would happily play games online because they were fun, not because there were unlocks or something to grind towards, but because they were genuinely fun. If the only way to maintain an active playerbase is by making them work for something then you've failed as a designer and your game is simply not fun to play.

Money: I don't think you can say that GTA Online is balanced and then say that it would be unbalanced if everybody had a lot of money. I mean, you seriously think it's okay now for the few who've played ridiculously long hours or spent the real money to build-up in-game wealth and have an advantage over other players, but if EVERYONE had access to that stuff it's not fair? That makes no sense at all. If it was balanced, either everyone would have it, or no-one would have it. Setting a differentiator between some having access to tanks etc. and some not instantly creates an unfair advantage, especially when people willing to spend real cash on Shark Cards can buy themselves an advantage.

Do you really not see the problem here?

WilliamSheridan3697d ago

GTA Online is NOT fine the way it is. It needs more to do. It needs casinos like RDR had, it needs cops vs robbers mode like GTA4 had, it needs a more versatile level editor for making game modes, and GTA5 needs single player dlc like GTA4 had.

Fixay3696d ago

You mean the Airport trying to get a heli to blow everything one up and try and stop people from getting their own heli lol

Milk...get your milk...and so much more. Really when you release the same games in three editions over 15 years it's amazing how much money, and the amount of sales you earn. It's amazing how no one can compete.

Mr_cheese24d ago

To be fair, no many companies could release the same game over and over. They've earned that whether we agree or not

DarXyde24d ago

I mean Resident Evil 4 has had longer legs and still hasn't done anything like this.

Profchaos24d ago (Edited 24d ago )

GTA v isn't the only game that's released three consoles generations running but nothing has sold those numbers including GTA San Andreas which is now 4 console generations deep.

anast24d ago

Looks like a 2040 release for GTA6

gold_drake24d ago

thats insane right?
absolutely insane

rlow123d ago

No surprising considering that it’s been on every major platform and store.

I decided to look up the longest and most sold games list. To my surprise Tetris has takes the top spot.

I mean, considering the amount of time between the two. It better be a massive upgrade. Especially with the amount of money Rockstar raked in from GTA Online.

MDTunkown31d ago

Most of scenes are pre rendered

andy8531d ago

Literally none are. If you know anything about rockstar they don't do that. Confirmed by themselves that this is all in-game

MDTunkown31d ago

Is that why first gta5 trailer looked better than the final product? Or is that why same happened with rdr2 ?
Rockstar told 50% are cutscenes and rockstars always used better models during cutscenes than in game.
You legit seems to know rockstar very well.

andy8531d ago (Edited 31d ago )

It didn't though? And neither did RDR2. In fact it was actually the opposite. What's with the hate boner? If you don't like it just avoid the topic

InUrFoxHole30d ago

Why don't either of you provide proof. This is just a he said, she said argument at this point

generic-user-name31d ago

You're either lying or just don't know what pre rendered means. Pre rendered means that if you change the character's appearance (clothes, accessories etc) they wouldn't show up in the cutscenes because they were already made and aren't being rendered in real time. This is something that doesn't happen in Rockstar games.

"Is that why first gta5 trailer looked better than the final product? Or is that why same happened with rdr2 ?"

In fact some of the scenes in RDR2 looked better in the retail version than at launched.

anast31d ago

The OP is taking the shot-gun approach: say a bunch of random tripe and see if something sticks.

repsahj31d ago

Damn! GTAV graphics are still awesome! But, I am so excited to play GTA6!!!

I believe it's been on ps+ a few times over the years of I'm not mistaking same goes for gamepass.

‘GTA V Gets Pulled from PS Plus as PC Players Continue to Favor Legacy Over Enhanced’

That’s an awful clickbait title. The use of the word ‘as’ means the first statement is the result of the second, when in reality they’re not connected.

Profchaos44d ago

Also the same for red dead redemption 2 and GTA trilogy (albeit they split that into individual games)

Tacoboto44d ago

It just got put back on Game Pass recently too.

GTA V is the pass-around sub title, and it probably doesn't even matter because everyone owns a copy or even two by now.

FortWaba44d ago

Trash article and trash website.

Doesn't even mention WHEN it's leaving.

gold_drake43d ago (Edited 43d ago )

so i looked cause i was curious, its still avaliable to me.

the headline is misleading asf.

also, how did no one report this. the editing is horrendous. they'd have my arse for this ha

gamerz43d ago

Noticed my copy of gta5 on Steam was already upgraded without me doing anything. How can you still play the legacy version?

Shiore2u43d ago

There should be a second listing right under it in your library.

Is there anything wrong with the enhanced version if you’re just playing single player?
