35 Minutes of Useless Information about GTA V

hey in this video I'm going to snatch more of your precious time and show you 35 minutes of useless information about GTA 5 which at this point you're going to forget about before you even have time to click off this video ready let's go at this location you can find some segmented crane Parts laying on the ground strangely the ladders inside of these cranes are still somewhat functional if you were to drop onto them from this angle your character would attempt to climb it which quite clearly isn't supposed to happen you will always get zipped across to the other side of the crane sometimes getting stuck in the process the Hill Valley Church has a slight error if you pay attention to this sign above the door it should become apparent that the text is reversed and it reads St Bridget Baptist Church which isn't what this church is called the only church that has this name is this one in PLO Bay what I think likely happened here is that the developers copied the St Bridget Church from PLO Bay made a few minor color adjustments flipped it and pasted it here forgetting about the text above the door there's a small detail about the gang attacks of GTA online that I've never seen anyone mentioned before if you complete five gang attacks involving the same type of gang back to back you'll get a thre threatening message from the gang followed by a high Bounty being placed on your head the text you receive is unique for each type of gang here's the Lost MC the varos the professionals the families The Armenian mob and the Triads the most uncommon message to get will be this one from the families as there's currently only one existing gang attack left involving them and with gang attacks having a cooldown of 36 minutes you will need to spend a bare minimum of three hours in a single session to complete it five times when you enter the kasatka submarine for the first time you will get an introduction cut scene during this cut scene you'll get shown the planning screen which shows the island MrRubio and quite strangely some coordinates if we go ahead and type this into Google Maps it will take us to the middle of Edinburgh which is the same city their Rockstar North is located although their office is a few blocks away from this location it's possible that the Stromberg was originally going to have vertical firing missiles evidence for this comes from a doomsday Mission Salvage the strumberg model in this Mission differs slightly from the actual vehicle as it has four vertical cylinders in the back which look a lot like missiles interestingly the actual car that the Stromberg is based off of the wet and nelli from James Bond also has vertical firing missiles in the back it's kind of odd why they would choose to remove this feature the minigun was originally going to heat up as it fired potentially causing it to overheat the only piece of evidence for this is this image found in a game files while this scrap it is really anyone's guess there are 10 unused tints for the EMP launcher it's possible that these might become available sometime in the future the contract DLC was potentially going to include a feature that would allow players to mix music there's also evidence of a rhythm miname in which you need to press certain buttons at the right time unfortunately not much is really known about this all we have is traces of this once existing considering that this update was all focused around music and that there's this whole intricately detailed recording studio that's only been used a couple of times a feature like this would have been perfect speaking of Music there was originally going to be a music player app on a player's phone that would allow the player to listen to the many radio stations of GTA whilst on foot this feature was cut fairly early in development as only a few traces of it remain whenever you kill or get killed by someone in free mode you'll get a scorecard telling you how many kills and deaths you have this scorecard was originally going to be a lot more detailed it would have showed the player's level the weapon used where the bullets connected and how much damage each shot did this score card might have been a bit Overkill but it would have been nice to have all this info there are some very early progress reports deep within the game files which St back to 2011 2 years before the game came out these graphs show the QA and FPS reports of the OD versions of the game the more interesting graph personally is this one here it shows the frame rate performances in different parts of the map it seems like the best performing area was a doxen terminal which had an absolute high point of 22 frames this is what it would have looked like the worst performing area was Legion Square it had an absolute low of 14 frames which looks like this it's painful to look at the rolling average at the time seemed to be 19 frames per second in The Brady Games official guide to GTA 5 on page 204 you can see an image of the map that has a blue Waypoint on it rather than a purple Waypoint we have today meaning that at some point during late development the color of it changed there were some rumors a while back about a supposed mountain climbing activity you could participate in as far as I know there is basically no evidence for this whatsoever other than this small unused Moun icon in the game files although it sounds cool I'm inclined to believe that this rumor is false as this just isn't enough evidence it's time to answer another random question that literally no one in her right mind wants the answer to just how many trees are there in GTA 5 why am I answering a ridiculous question like this anyway content to tackle this monster of a question my first idea was to count them all the oldfashioned way one by one no surprise I gave up on this very quickly there are just so many damn trees in this game I needed a faster way to count them all this is where code Walker comes in there's a feature on this software that allows us to search for certain props throughout the whole map and it also counts the exact number of props there are before I could use this to get my answer though I first needed a list of every single tree model in the game which I had to find myself I went through hundreds of models of foliage I even had to look up the definition of a tree to make sure it was as accurate as possible just as a side note I'm not counting potted plants as trees just for Simplicity sake although this model here is a pine tree it's in a pot so I'm not counting it after an hour of looking I had every possible tree model in the game now I had to copy and paste every one of these models into this software and have it do the counting for me here's the results there are 5,850 palm trees 956 oak trees 27 jacada trees 832 thickish trees 3,251 large bush trees 1,37 pine trees 167 trees 288 maple trees 6111 veg crop trees 254 eucalyp trees 4,6 birch trees 11,807 Ceda trees 576 Joshua trees 48 Rio trees 276 olive trees and 1,310 mosquit trees adding all of this together in total there are 3362 trees within the state of San Andreas considering that the average tree produces 150 lb of oxygen every year we can estimate that with trees alone the state of San Andreas produces 4,959 300b of oxygen each year this amount of oxygen could sustain 130,000 people a year which is yeah pretty useless I don't know what you was expecting really but honestly I'm just now starting to realize that a lot of my content is just throwing numbers at you so let's move on to something else in the entrance to stab City there's this completely wrecked trailer if we pay attention to the back of it we can see there has a California license plate it should really have a San Andreas license plate as in game the state of California doesn't exist so law- wise this doesn't make sense this is likely just a small oversight from the developers there's an early beta image of agent 14 in the game files as you can see it seems like it was originally going to be blonde Michael Trevor and Franklin were originally going to be able to participate in police work I'm assuming that these missions would have been somewhat similar to taxi work with the missions only being available when a player gets into a police car and accepts a call in a radio you would have probably had to stop store robberies chase down speeding cars and generally keep the streets of Los Santos safe the evidence for this comes from this fully rendered police outfit for Michael as well as these unused voice lines stay out of trouble now who's profiling who here now it's my turn to stopping Frisk no loitering show some respect for the law you look like you're up to no good officer coming through don't make me get the night stick out you have the right to absolutely nothing in the last video I counted how many buildings there are in the game 2359 I now want to take this number and figure out the rough population of San Andreas to do this we'll need a ratio of people to buildings we'll get this from the state of California The Place San Andreas is based off of California has roughly 17 million buildings and 39 million people this gives us a ratio of 2. 2 941 if we times this by the 2359 buildings there are in GTA we get an estimate of 5,414 people who live in this state with a population this small Los Santos itself wouldn't even be considered a city it would just barely qualify as a small town a few hundred less people and it would literally qualify as a village it's teeny if you didn't know pressing right on the d-pad or E for PC will allow you to greet nearby NPCs hey you cool pal whatever usually the lines of dialogue you hear will be fairly linear and will only ever change depending on who you're talking to however there's an unused feature that's still in the game that changes what Michael Trevor and Franklin say depending on what they're currently wearing wearing a strange outfit that's either mismatched or just in plain underwear will cause them to have more self-conscious dialogue with the exception being Trevor have a listen this is Los Santos [ __ ] I can dress how I want yeah yeah I know I need to do laundry right okay it's a new look all right what do you think I'm rocking this look huh you like what you see don't look at me like I'm some kind of freak it's oldfashioned statement I know all the cool kids are wearing it I get a hug during ComicCon 2018 the voice actors from Michael Trevor and Franklin had a Q&A panel a member of the subreddit r/ Chiliad mystery ask them about the infamous still unsolved M Chiliad mystery in response Ned Luke said this you're going to ask me about the Mad mystery all right we're going to solve this okay I don't know what it is it's it's the mystery at the top of M mountain right now here's how you solve the Mount Chiliad mystery you go down to Delo Pier you swim out 70 no 35 mil you dive down 78 ft not 77 not 79 78 ft there you'll find the answer this was pretty clearly a joke but just to be sure plenty of people including myself made the swim out to the ocean and checked and as to be expected there was nothing there back in 2014 there was two events for GTA Online The capture weekend and the business weekend Rockstar held a contest during both of these events which had players competing to make the best best capture jobs and take the best snapmatic photos the winners would receive this exclusive Sunset license plate which could be placed on any one of their cars there was only ever five winners per event so there's only 10 players in the world that have this plate putting it up there as potentially the rarest item in GTA Online although this is the only time their rockstars given out a unique license plate it's likely that more events like this were planned as there's still to this day nine other plates just sitting in the game files whether or not these plates are going to be released in the future is really anyone's guess there was a scrap story mode mission called Harrier that had Michael intercepting a military Convoy still a Hydra not much is really known about this Mission other than it was supposed to be the fourth Mission you'd get from Solomon from his brief description it's clear that Michael would have had to plant some explosives along a road and detonate them as soon as a convoy passes over allowing him to then steal it there's an animation of this road being blown up in the game files which honestly looks pretty fleshed out this next one is a little bit weird there's a scrapped GTA Online heist setup that is fully voiced animated and more or less fully fleshed out the mission is called Casanova and the objective is for one place to enter a nightclub fund and seduced the Pacific Standard Bank manager and go back to his apartment to uh talk whilst the bank manager is distracted the three other players will be tasked with breaking into his apartment and stealing his key card this is one of those rare times that I'm actually glad a mission was scrapped as personally the whole thing just feels icky and wrong when raiding a stash house in GTA Online you need to find a yellow sticky note that contains a vault code one of these possible combinations is 28197 which is the exact release date of the original Grand fft Auto for some reason chop Franklin's dog has his own phone number and profile picture unfortunately however it's impossible to call him there's an unused feature in GTA Online called dial a sub as the name suggests it seems like you were originally going to be able to call up this number and request a submarine it could have functioned similar to how to blimp contact Works in story mode where you would call them up and have a blimp spawn nearby this feature is likely the very early concept of the kasatka submarine introduced with the Koo DLC as well as the submarine phone contact there's also this early hard overlay of a submarine camera this looks very different from what we have with a gatka the thermite bomb as seen in a Pacific Standard Bank Heist was originally supposed to be a Frable weapon there's third and firstperson animations for it as well as its weapon wheel texture how it would have actually functioned when thrown or how much damage it does isn't known in this Los Santos customs there's a very early rendition of the Sanctus bike in this magazine judging by how old this image looks plus the incomplete nature of the background it's likely that this was taken around 2011 or 2012 which is around 5 years after the vehicle would get officially released with the biker update the bike itself has quite a few noticeable differences such as the headlights coming out the forehead of the skull rather than the eyes and the handlebars being a completely different shape this is just one of many examples of DLC Vehicles existing multiple years before they were ever released from these examples alone we can make a good guess that a lot of if not all DLC Vehicles we get were conceived and designed many years ago in the story mode iist the PLO score Franklin has to use a dozer to save Michael and Trevor from the hordes of cops that are trying to kill them but originally Franklin was supposed to save them whilst using a tank instead there are unused animations of Michael Trevor and Franklin exiting the tank as well as an early description of the mission itself clearly stating that Franklin rescues you in a tank if you had GTA plus during December 2022 you would have unlocked the have you seen me shirt this shirt clearly shows Santa get his mug shot taken at the losantos police department his mug shot board has the numbers 91723 which is the release date of g GTA 5 September 9th 2013 another interesting thing about these numbers is that we can use them to figure out exactly what level Santa is as these numbers on the mshop board directly correlate to how much RP you have a quick search reveals that at 9,172 14 RP Santa would be the respectable level of 322 this will put Santa miles above El Rubio and Lamar considering how long Santa's been around for I guess this kind of makes sense Vehicles will only be destroyed by water once their exhaust pipe has been submerged for over 3 seconds this can lead to some weird scenarios where vehicles that have a higher up exhaust pipe will still be able to function even when the engine is completely submerged the free Vehicles this works best on is the guardian the dump and the dock handler high-end Vehicles such as super cars or sports cars have better quality soundproofing than cheap cars the sound of rain and wind will be reduced drastically when in a higher quality vehicle however breaking a window will negate all sound proofing regardless of car quality here's an example if you were to connect a tow truck to another tow truck to another tow truck to another tow truck and so on eventually the game will start to break and will swing the tow trucks in random directions I think it's for this exact reason that it's impossible to get any kind of tow truck in GTA online without the use of mods of course if you spam the punch button whilst entering your agency your character will go into a combat stance every time I've tried this my character always always seems annoyed that something in the elevator and I don't know why this is putting a decal on your knife will make it unable to get bloody all blimps will have a blue reflection in water regardless of the color of the blimp on each side of the cargo bul it says that its Max load capacity is 15,000 kg which is 15 Tons despite this however it is unable to effectively lift the Insurgent that is in game set to weigh 8 tons oddly enough it has zero trouble picking up the Rino tank which is set to weigh a whopping 60 tons from what I could find with a quick Google SE even modern helicopters especially designed for heavy cargo can't even pull half this amount there is a rare event in story mode that can occur at any time whilst driving one of these vehicles these older types of vehicles seem to be the only ones in the game that have a CB radio which is able to pick up a wide range of radio signals for this reason when driving one of these cars you can very rarely hear some random radio chatter the types of things you can hear very wildly from people talking about conspiracies people giving instructions on how to cook meth to a random military chatter if you're playing as Trevor he can sometimes respond to the these people although even after hours of waiting I've personally never had this before have a listen no no no you're doing it all wrong you mix it with baking soda and water and then heat it with a lighter collect the stuff that rises to the top it's good [ __ ] thing about that truck is the alternator keeps giving out some godamn oxygen sensor half the [ __ ] in the cars is made in Australia these days anyway and they don't pay people for nothing we need some kind of Evolution cuz it ain't going to get no better I have a gun and I can take down a predator drone blah blah blah blah blah blah blah you [ __ ] ever talk about anything [Applause] interesting the cherry picker variant of the utility truck was originally supposed to have a functioning lift that would go up and down with the Press of a button there's even this unused anim tied to it I don't know why this was taken out it would have gave this otherwise a useless vehicle a bit of functionality there are tons of spooky myths and legends surrounding the GTA franchise some of which I've covered before but this time let's dive into one mystery in particular that a few people still seem to believe this mystery has even been labeled as possible on the GTA myths Wiki this is the myth of goat man an entity that is half goat half human in game sightings of this creature I've set to take place near catfish VI which is a pretty fitting location for a creature like this to reside for a couple of reasons the man of Pope lck Creek also known as the pope creek monster is said to reside under a railroad Trestle in Louisville Kentucky and it just so happens that there's a railroad Trestle very close to where the Goatman sidings are said to take place not only this but there is also another Bridge here that does somewhat resemble old Alton Bridge situated in Texas the bridge also goes by another name goatman's Bridge so that's two potential connections to Goatman in the exact same area that these Goatman sightings have taken place does that mean that this is real well considering that there's been literally no screenshots of this creature apart from this one which looks painfully fake and the fact that the game has nearly been out for 10 years and hundreds if not thousands of people have ripped the game files wide open specifically searching for things just like this I'm sure something like the Goatman would have been found by now but who knows maybe we've just missed it and the fabled Goatman really is out there hiding in the shadows most cars in GTA have the option for a livery to be applied to them and some of these liveries are direct references to different parts of pop culture and or have some small details on them that you probably wouldn't catch at first glance I'm going to go over a few of these that I personally find interesting the first one we'll take a look at is The Rock and Roll Legends Livery on a comet S2 if you've played the game cyberpunk 20177 you'll probably recognize that this Livery is almost identical to Johnny silveran Porsche 911 from that game as a fan of the game myself I appreciate this one being in here unfortunately the only way to get this Livery is to activate it using mods as it's still yet to be released next we have the wfu wheels Livery on a Zeon classic although there are many vehicles in game that have a web Princess Robot bubble gum Livery available to be exact but this one has an added feature of a Princess Robot bubble gum body pillow in the back it's all seat beled in and it has some pretty suspicious looking stains on it next is the delivery boy Livery on the Futo GTX the name of this Livery as well as the Livery itself is a pretty clear reference to takumi Fuji Wild's Toyota Sprint Treno in the anime Initial D in the show the main character is an illegal street racer and part-time tofu delivery boy as another nod to this the Futo on the back of the car turns into tofu when its delvery is applied lastly we'll cover the Fast and Furious liveries although there are many ways to replicate the many cars from this franchise there's only seven liveries that are direct references to it which I'll lay out now we have DK's nisson 350Z made with the King Scorpion Livery on ANS Euros Brian o Conor's Mitsubishi Evolution 7 made with the blue Power stripe Livery on a suan RS Leon's Nissan Skyline r33 GTR made with the not toight pizza boy Livery on L retro custom Bri o Conor's Mitsubishi Eclipse made with the almost hadu Livery on a panra FF slapjacks Toyota go super turbo made with a slap Dash Livery on a Jester classic Bri o Conor's Nissan Skyline GTR R34 made with the midnight racer Livery on the L retro custom and lastly is Brian o Conor's Toyota super turbo made with a 10-minute car liy on the jesta classic the weakest part of any helicopter is a tail rotor if you land a few wellplayed shots it will spin uncontrollably causing it to crash there are quite a few score tracks in GTA that are remixes and or include like motifs of other pre-existing tracks I showed a couple of these in a previous video but since then a few more have been discovered these can be a bit difficult to hear so listen [Music] closely [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] in the low riders custom Classics update released back in 2016 there was an action that was added that Still Remains unused to this day the action is called the V sign and much like other actions it has four variations we have the basic one which you can see here the full body variations which is different depending if you're a male or a female and one force sitting inside of a vehicle the action itself shows the two-finger salute or the forks as it's known in Australia it's recognized as a gesture of offense in places like the UK Ireland of course Australia and I believe some parts of Europe it basically means the same thing as the middle finger as this gesture isn't particularly well known in America it doesn't really make sense for characters to make it which could be the reason as to why it got scrapped the first cut scene for the mission MrPhillips which takes place shortly after the vangelico heist was originally going to be quite a bit different rather than Michael and Franklin getting interrupted by Dave whilst they were having a drink Lester was going to be present and they were all supposed to be thoroughly drunk by the time Dave comes in the interaction between these characters would have been priceless it's a shame we didn't actually get to see this cut scene but luckily the audio for it has existed for quite some time now so I'll play it now [ __ ] [ __ ] bu we all are [ __ ] you Uncle [ __ ] rules hey hey hey you go easy on Uncle Sam I love that guy he doesn't exist that's what I love about him Franklin yeah freak up thanks Mike in your face squares [ __ ] all of you that's the [ __ ] up man hey this is how we roll we do a gig yeah and then we get [ __ ] [ __ ] dropped what the [ __ ] is going on here I dread to think mandaa and look who I found skullking around outside our very own marriage guidance counselor and government agent join us for a swift libation Jesus that [ __ ] you are dead you fat [ __ ] dead love you I love you too let me be very clear in case someone cuts your brake cables it wasn't me hello Michael Davey I was wondering why you and your friends were getting drunk and high shortly after a store was done over can you explain that to me yes they are two completely unrelated [Laughter] item everything about the job the whole thing anyone who knows anything about your file it's so [ __ ] obvious what is wrong with you I have less than no clue what you're talking about BNG hit scary what about Trevor if that fruit cake thinks you're alive you are d o n e [ __ ] dor is d o n e dead got to be I mean besides I didn't have anything to do with whatever this you're saying I had something to do with was me oh now look isn't that convenient local breaking news the rebel radio signal Tower can emit two separate Mor code signals one of these signals is triggered directly by a loud sound around a time of 3:00 a. m.

shooting a weapon or detonating an explosive near the tower will activate it here's what it sounds like the message will repeat a few times until eventually coming to a stop the next Mor code message doesn't seem to have a set time it will play any time between 3:00 a. m. and 5:00 a.

m. this message will last a lot longer than the last one from start to finish it's a hefty 2 minutes long here's what it reads ban clothes ban lies ban youth ban deceit eat of the flesh drink of the blood we shall be free once more because we know altruism the greatest good for the greatest Generation we shall boom again this weird cryptic phrase is the Mantra used by the ults a cult of middle-aged men living in a small camp on the side of man Chiliad there can be heard chanting this very phrase during the old Tru shootout event trickered by [Music] Trevor blood it can also be seen written in Mor Cod at the bottom of their website despite the group's ideology being against modern technology they do seem to meddle signal towers and use the internet quite a bit the dingy that can be summoned from your kakka has quite a unique and Powerful ability if it gets destroyed the wreckage of it will never despawn no matter how far away you get from it this means that you can continuously spawn these boats in and blow them up making piles of wrecked boats which can be hundred strong if you're patient enough although this glitch may seem kind of pointless it does have its uses if there's a certain free mode mission that you don't want to play like a difficult Dax Mission or a really drawn out High prep you can place these wrecked boats within the area that the mission will spawn and it should block the mission from triggering this is especially helpful for Speed Runners as they can use these boats to guarantee they always get the most optimal missions you'll need to be careful when doing this though if enough of these boats are spawned in roughly 120 plus the session you're in will start to slowly break anyone who encounters these boats will start to experience some strange effects such as being unable to summon any of their vehicles seeing Zero traffic on the road being invisible to other players and being soft locked when entering a property if enough of these boats were to be piled up in a high activity area you could effectively break an entire Lobby the amount of time time this will take however is immense this pile of boats here took a good 5 hours to put together if you take your barage to the arena Workshop you have the option to equip it with Clifford's logo used by Clifford's mercenaries during the Doomsday Heist it's not exactly known if this modification was intentionally implemented or not as its name custom mod one seems a little bit unfinished there are quite a few errors for level of details or lods in this area specifically like the sign not loading in properly unless you get very close the lamp post is popping in and out of existence and this crash barrier that has no Collision when you're close to it but somehow gains Collision when you're far away as far as I know this only happens in an online session so Rockstar somehow mess something up in this area when implementing one of their recent updates if you're skillful enough it's entirely possible to defy the laws of physics by flying planes backwards this impressive skill does not come easy though as it takes hours of practice to P it off consistently and even longer to master how to control it in midair attempting to do this myself is really giv me a new found respect on how impressive stuns like this really are I would like to break down exactly how this works and how to do it but I'm really not qualified for giving tips about flying so if you want an in-depth guide on how to do this I'll leave a link down below for a good video that I followed and for McBain a previous artist for Rockstar North has recently released some old concept art for Franklin and Trevor there's a few outfits here that have made it into the game and there's others which we've never seen before the mask that Trevor's wearing in this image here isn't available in game but it has a striking resemblance to this mask that our GTA online characters can wear during the Halloween event of 2023 there was a short period when you could get abducted by one of the many UFOs around around the map once abducted you had a 25% chance to see a cut scene of yourself laying on an operating table in a strange facility although it isn't available without the use of mods this facility has a lot more to it than what we can see during the cut scene with it being made up of four separate rooms and one connecting hallway one room contains blueprints for a jetpack specifically the one used by CJ in GTA San Andreas there's also this decommission depressor Mark to in the adjacent room we can find an alien egg being propped up and a couple of laser weapons which are identical to the ones that the player can use well almost ident tle they have this strange glowing DNA symbol etched onto all of them just like 98% of the stuff here I have no clue what this means opposite to this room is a strange storage room this room is absolutely packed with mysterious crates and boxes some of these have the Clifford logo plastered onto them and others have the eye symbol from the mount Chad mural itself at the end of the hallway there's a room that seems to be used for medical purposes the room is attached to this massive sardo structure this suggests that there are many many more rooms just like this one and it gives off the vibe that this place is a lot larger than what meets the eye in this same room there are TV screens that have some strange code thankfully people smarter than me have decoded it this reads connect the dots and this one says we are watching if you got abducted during this Halloween event you would have unlocked this unnamed shirt that has some strange symbols if you look closely you should see some numbers this is once again some more code the numbers can be decoded as one day we'll reveal all with this whole facility having so much detail in it that isn't viewable by the player I think it's very likely that we'll be visiting here in a future update we would probably need to do something like flick these switches or steal something from the storage room something like that at these two locations you can find two strange black spiderwebs oddly enough they only spawn in between the times of 1: and 2:00 a. m.
