Gave R* all day to prove the trend wrong but that didn't happen... My contribution to #RedDeadFuneral: I was going to piece together clips from trailers to go along with the music but a simple logo transition seemed more appropriate.

Sorry to hear that. We get many GTAF expats. Most of the discussions moved to a discord.

Join forces with one of Los Santos’ most famous hustlers and his friends in GTA Online: The Contract, an all-new adventure for solo players and groups, featuring the return of Grand Theft Auto V protagonist Franklin Clinton, manager of F. Clinton & Partner, a "celebrity solutions Agency" ready to fix the special kinds of problems plaguing the high rollers of Los Santos. With your partnership in the Agency, you’ll work alongside new and familiar faces including Franklin’s longtime friend Lamar Davis, his loyal sidekick Chop, and the Agency’s elite in-house hacker Imani. And in the Agency’s first A-List client contract, you’ll help Dr. Dre resolve a high-stakes theft. On the streets of Los Santos, Dr. Dre’s stolen phone is the talk of the town — word is the device is loaded with never-before-heard music from Dr. Dre’s as-yet unreleased work, which you’ll need to track down before it leaks to the world. This could make or break your Agency, and you’ll be the one getting your hands dirty. As you make headway with the investigation, you’ll discover new songs from the six-time Grammy Award-winning hip-hop legend, all premiering exclusively within this massive update to GTA Online. You’ll also get a rare inside look at Dr. Dre working his magic at Record A Studios, a new music studio where you can hang with Dr. Dre and a special guest artist, kick back, and get a behind-the-scenes glimpse of the hit-making process. As part of your partnership investment in F. Clinton & Partner, you’ll acquire a new multi-floor, state-of-the-art office space, fitting for a high-end private solutions Agency. The property includes office space for the team and a dedicated lower level for vehicle storage. You can add further modification with an Armory to service your arsenal and a Vehicle Workshop that opens a new range of modifications ideal for completing contracts for clients. F. Clinton & Partner is new to the scene, and you’ll need to pick up Security Contracts for clients in need to gain experience and credibility. Recover valuables and vehicles, conduct daring rescue operations, defend high-value assets, and more. After completing a few Security Contracts, Franklin will reveal the Agency’s dirtier work in Payphone Hits — off-the-books, street-level assassinations with bonuses paid out for following specific instructions. These assignments demand a low-profile — you’ll pick up the details by answering payphones around Los Santos. In addition to a Concierge service at the Agency, you’ll be able to call Imani and Franklin from your iFruit in Freemode to make use of their unique services and abilities, as well as request Security Contracts and Payphone Hits from the road. The Contract has three new weapons, each a valuable instrument Franklin has accrued over his career. The Heavy Rifle is available at Ammu-Nation or to purchase and modify from your Agency’s Armory at a discount. The Stun Gun and Compact EMP Launcher are tools of the trade that are exclusively available at the Agency’s Armory. Enus Jubilee Look out for a fleet of seven new vehicles including the Pegassi Ignus supercar, Lampadati Cinquemila sedan, and Pfister Astron SUV, which are all available from Legendary Motorsport. The Dewbauchee Champion supercar, Bravado Buffalo STX muscle car, Enus Deity sedan, and Enus Jubilee SUV have new Imani Tech modifications available to them from the Agency’s Vehicle Workshop. Slick Mines, Armor, and Machine Guns are baseline essentials for Agency work. Meanwhile, a Missile Lock-On Jammer will keep you clean of homing missiles, and the Remote Control Unit will allow you to drive the vehicle remotely. While you hit the streets, tune into the new radio station MOTOMAMI Los Santos hosted by ROSALÍA and Arca pumping tracks from across the musical spectrum — from bachata to electro and much more. New music is hitting the airwaves of Radio Los Santos and West Coast Classics as well, including exclusive new tracks from artists such as Juicy J and Mike Dean, Pusha T, Dom Kennedy, Mozzy, and more. There are hundreds of new pieces of streetwear and accessories, including new jackets, sweaters and hoodies, baseball caps, tattoos, and new Facepaints and Hairstyles from the Barber. Plus, players who visit Record A Studios anytime between now and December 22 will receive the Westside Fitted Cap for free. Today’s release brings several other positive changes for GTA Online. Players will now receive fewer phone calls and texts inviting them to take part in new gameplay. Now, players can use the map in the Pause menu to review and select gameplay. Highlight any contact blip on the map to see more details and trigger the contact’s introduction to this content. Additionally, a number of new Pause Menu Awards and Daily Objectives are now available to complete in GTA Online, and daily fees for Properties and Businesses have been reduced. Players are also now rewarded LS Car Meet reputation for completing Auto Shop Contracts, Customer Deliveries, and Exotic Exports Deliveries, and the safe capacity in the Nightclub and Arcade has been increased. Alongside all the new additions with The Contract, you can also take advantage of weekly event bonuses and discounts in GTA Online. Visit the Lucky Wheel and LS Car Meet to see the latest prizes and contests, earn 2X GTA$ and RP on Transform Races, Weed Killer, and Welcoming Party. Plus, all who play GTA Online this week will receive the Radio Los Santos Tee, free of charge, to celebrate the legacy of LS’ long-running hip-hop radio station. As you complete each of the missions within Dr. Dre’s Contract, look out for first-time completion cash bonuses of varying amounts. Plus, completing three Security Contracts between now and December 22 will earn you a tidy GTA$200K one-time bonus, available within 72 hours of completion. Stay tuned to GTA Online over the coming weeks for new vehicles, holiday gifts, a new Adversary Mode featuring familiar faces, and even more surprises at Record A Studios.

That would tell me the mission wasn't activated yet. I assume you grabbed a Gauntlet off the street since the designated ones shouldn't appear.

BUMP In the years since he and his accomplices knocked over the Union Depository, renowned Los Santos hustler Franklin Clinton has been making moves of his own. Welcome to F. Clinton and Partner, a new “celebrity solutions agency” catering to the Vinewood elite in need of solutions to high-society problems. Franklin needs two things: a reliable partner and a big-ticket, high-profile client. With your longtime LS contact — and newly aspiring cannabis entrepreneur — Lamar Davis making the connection, you can be the partner that helps Franklin take the business to the next level. Meanwhile on the other side of the city, DJ Pooh has been reaching out to Franklin about an exciting potential client: his close friend, Dr. Dre. Lost in the shuffle on his way to Cayo Perico last year, it turns out Dr. Dre’s phone isn’t just missing — it’s in the wrong hands. Not only that, but the phone also contains the hottest property in the city: new, unreleased music from Dr. Dre himself. This could be the big break your agency needs. Get ready for a wild and hilarious ride through Los Santos, from the mean streets of Franklin’s old neighborhood to the hottest parties in the city, from debaucherous mansions to the offices of the FIB and everywhere in between as you join Franklin, expert hacker Imani, Chop the Dog, and crew to secure Dr. Dre’s precious tracks and return them to their rightful owner. Stay tuned for more info on The Contract, arriving December 15 to GTA Online — including details of an eclectic new radio station from some very special guest hosts, huge first-of-their-kind updates to existing radio stations including a ton of new and unreleased exclusive tracks from Dr. Dre and a heavy-hitting line-up of artists, plus additional opportunities for agency work including choice hits for players willing to get their hands dirty, plus new weapons, vehicles, and much more.

The next story mission is Finale which begins at Franklin's house. So there should be an F on the map there. I think the FIB agents call him about taking out a cohort as a lead up to the Finale.

Later this month marks a very special anniversary for Rockstar Games: 20 years since the original release of Grand Theft Auto III — the game that set players loose in the sprawling, three-dimensional metropolis of Liberty City with a new and unprecedented sense of freedom and immersion. In addition to carving a new path for the open world genre, Grand Theft Auto III established Grand Theft Auto as a cultural phenomenon, alongside its two subsequent — and equally legendary — entries in the series, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. We’d like to extend a heartfelt thank you to all the Grand Theft Auto fans who have supported the games over the past two decades. Your love and appreciation for these games has helped push the Grand Theft Auto series forward with every iteration. In honor of the upcoming anniversary, today we are excited to announce that all three games will be coming to current generation platforms later this year in Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and the Rockstar Games Launcher on PC. Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition will feature across-the-board upgrades including graphical improvements and modern gameplay enhancements for all three titles, while still maintaining the classic look and feel of the originals. We’re extremely excited to share more about these groundbreaking titles in the coming weeks — stay tuned! To prepare for launch, we will begin removing existing versions of the classic titles from digital retailers next week. For more information, please visit Rockstar Games Support. In addition, Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition will be coming to iOS and Android in the first half of 2022.

Did you get an email with that location yet? May need to wait an in-game day or some other side mission/objective is active and preventing you from moving forward.

Now delayed to March 2022... I'm sure everyone is very distraught over this.

BUMP since I'm too lazy to post this twice for LAN/MP3 separately... https://www.rockstargames.com/newswire/article/51989315o2aa3a/gta-online-for-playstation-3-and-xbox-360-will-shut-down-on-december-1 PS3 and XB360 support ending for GTAO/LA Noire/Max Payne 3 multiplayer and Social Club later this year.

Rockstar Games has officially started a countdown for the end of GTA Online on old-gen consoles. The services will cease for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on December 16th, 2021. Social Club stat tracking will also end, as well as for Max Payne 3 and LA Noire on PS3 and XB360. Single player content will not be affected for any of the preceding titles.Additional info at Rockstar Support. https://www.rockstargames.com/newswire/article/51989315o2aa3a/gta-online-for-playstation-3-and-xbox-360-will-shut-down-on-december-1

From what I'm reading on media sites, you just need to pick the statue as your heist target. Rockstar's post simply says "All hosts of The Cayo Perico Heist this week will be able to scout the Panther Statue as a Primary Target on their first playthrough." I don't see anything about whether previous prep work will be affected. So you might be the first to find out.

The Submersible (original submarine) can be found at the Sonar Collections Dock after purchase. It can also be obtained after completing the The Merryweather Heist when it spawns at the Sandy Shores airfield when playing as Trevor. The Kraken was added on new-gen and can be obtained after completing the Wildlife Photography Challenge when it spawns at Cape Catfish. Other submarines are only available in new-gen GTA Online.

GTAO: The Cayo Perico Heist Dec. 15th It’s time to raise the stakes higher than ever before. You’ve broken a convicted spy out of Bolingbroke Penitentiary. You’ve saved the world from an egomaniacal tech billionaire. And you’ve beaten the odds to drain a casino of its cash. This time, you’re taking on an entire island. Prepare to infiltrate the remote island compound of the world’s most notorious drug dealer in Grand Theft Auto Online’s biggest, most daring, and action-packed addition yet: The Cayo Perico Heist. It’s up to you to find a way to breach Cayo Perico, one of the most secure private islands in the entire world, evade or neutralize the heavily armed security forces stationed there, and escape with valuable evidence along with as much art, gold and drug money as you can carry. Choose your tools. Choose your approach. Choose your crew – or even go it entirely alone. Just make it back to Los Santos in one piece. The Cayo Perico Heist is the biggest GTA Online adventure ever, introducing an all-new exotic Heist location, with a brand-new approach to Heist design that features the ability to play everything solo or with up to three other players. Plus you can acquire new vehicles and tactical weapons, experience new social spaces to dance and party in with your friends, and new world-class guest DJs, and listen to new radio stations with over 100 new songs. Oh, and a very large, very versatile, and very heavily armed submarine HQ with plenty of other surprises. Stay tuned for more details as you prepare for The Cayo Perico Heist!

BUMP Looks like they are actually going to add a location for DLC. If it's indeed another island I assume it will be based on Catalina Island off the coast of Los Angeles. Or another "distant" location we have to "fly" to. edit: enlarged image of the map:

A year later and got the coordinate system down... The map is split into grid tiles that are 512x512. You can see them while under the map and looking a distance away (the edges of the low-poly grids disappear when you get close). The entire map is 48x48 of those tiles = 24576 each side. We figured the coordinate system is actually in meters (or very close to it, see below) so that gives a total area of the entire Red Dead Redemption 2 map as 604 sqkm or 233 sqmiles. This is edge to edge but the actual edges are under water so that takes away some of the area. Still quite a huge map. Edges: North 8192 East 12800 South -16384 West -11776

No joke! Grand Theft Auto V will be released on the PlayStation 5 console in the second half of 2021. Rockstar Games mentions the 7-year-old title will be released on "next generation consoles" so it will more than likely be available on the Xbox counterpart when that releases as well. The game is being upgraded to take advantage of the new systems including graphics and controls. Of course GTA Online will accompany GTA V. Rockstar promises plenty of more content to be added in the future for PC and the next generation consoles. PlayStation Plus members on PlayStation 4 will get GTA$1,000,000 (deposited into their in-game Maze Bank account within 72 hours of log-in) each month they play GTA Online until the launch of GTA Online on PlayStation 5 too!

All these years later and there still does not appear to be a definite answer to solve this Gauntlet issue. Perhaps it was patched if you are running an older version? Aside from that, the standard tricks would be: Wait a few in-game days Switch characters Do some other missions if available Kill yourself (in-game ) Restart console Load a different save, then back to the current one Load previous save and replay through this mission ^Should have been the first thing to say. Off hand I don't remember if you can get the getaway vehicle early on or need to get through the driller and train missions first. From the Big Score guide, when you have a suitable getaway vehicle, call Lester > Getaway vehicle ready. If the vehicle is not suitable or you are stuck before this mission is actually available, the option should not be accessible.

Make sure you have the workshop.

That's a lot to cut. They must be saving them for RDO or something. So many nicely completed models to waste. Also lol at "do not use" in giant letters.

Very cool!

Amazing work!

Again, amazing.
