[iMoveFasterAlone]

[ANeed4SNeed]

the ultimate trolling toy
you can even bait a bounch of cops to chasing you and and attack other player even if they're in passive mode

[iMoveFasterAlone]

Funny TOY!

Love it.

Is it worth?
How does it work?
Do you need to call insurance after explosion or is it instantly available again?
What happens to your avatar when you use it?
Do you become a ifruit zombie while using it aka easy target for humiliation?

The drone was already a waste of money and using the bandito during arena wars was also pretty difficult.

forum crawling sucks just give me the answers

Controls:



Same as driving normally (duh), except:

D-Pad Right = Drop Mine
Left Stick In = Jump (comes with 20% as standard)
LB / L1 HOLD = Detonation (requires Remote Bomb upgrade)
B / Circle = Cinematic camera
Y / Triangle = Exit



General:



1 minute cooldown between requests, called through the Interaction Menu > Inventory > Request RC Bandito. Upon doing so, the player's online character model is de-spawned from the world until the RC Bandito's connection is ended.
If a player that request's their RC Bandito is on foot but has their Personal Vehicle out, their PV will not be de-spawned whilst using the RC Bandito, and other players can still use or destroy the PV. Doing the latter will notify the player using the RC Bandito in the normal manner.
Getting destroyed, driving into a shop or store, pressing the vehicle enter / exit button whilst using it ends the connection, where the player using the RC Bandito will spawn back on the map at the original location (or near) to where it was requested.
Off The Radar permanently during usage.
Can be used in someone else's Organisation or MC Club - aka, as an Associate or Member.
If you're in someone else's Organisation or MC Club, the RC Bandito won't show on the radar to the leader or perhaps even all members.
If you're a VIP or CEO, the RC Bandito will only show via the coloured proximity blip to other Associates. It won't ever show to other Members of your MC Club if you're using it as an MC President.
Map becomes less cluttered when using, with only these blips showing:
- Other players, Personal, Pegasus or other vehicles (like CEO), Apartments, CEO Office, CEO Garage, Motorcycle Clubhouse, Yacht, Martin Madrazo, Lamar Davis and a blip of your own RC Bandito.
Only the yacht, other players, and vehicles as mentioned above show on the map or radar when using the RC Bandito whilst as an Associate or Member of an Organisation or MC Club respectively.
No range limitation - drive from anywhere to anywhere.
Other NPCs acknowledge the RC Bandito and cops will shoot at it, if the player has a wanted level.
Driving it into a shop like a clothing store ends the connection to the RC Bandito, so no you can't troll casual shoppers with it...
Cannot be requested during Resupply / Source / Sale missions.
Game files and mods suggest there should be other options like Engine Upgrades, but these are omitted from the Arena Workshop's RC Bandito Workbench.




Vehicle:



Top speed seems around 60mph so don't expect anything spectacular. A slightly higher speed can be achieved if using the jump.
Handles quite well, be careful of bumps though. Quite like a real RC car there.
11.76 gravity value (more than the 9.80 standard). Like the Deathbike, all this really means is you won't be in the air as long as other vehicles jumping in the same scenario.
Window tint affects all the windows on the vehicle - including front windshield.
Handbrake doesn't seem too strong, so once you're moving, holding it almost 'activates a slow driving mode' where top speed becomes around 17mph. Could be intentional and if you're already over that speed, you'll have to wait a little for it to come down.





Combat:


Generally quite resistant.
The Remote Bomb option must be purchased via the RC Bandito Workshop in the Arena in order to 'detonate' the vehicle, although it does have Proximity Mine options.
Detonation sequence takes 3 seconds and is quite powerful - dealing what appears to be the same as the APC Cannon, Khanjali Cannons and Rhino Tank cannon - roughly double RPG damage.
For example, it takes 2 RC Bandito detonations to destroy a Rhino Tank, 3 for an unoccupied Halftrack / Insurgent Pick-Up / Pick-Up Custom / Nightshark, and 6 for unoccupied MOC Cabs (Hauler & Phantom Custom).
Only carries 3 mines, whether you choose Kinetic or EMP.
Mines can stay active if they haven't been triggered yet, even if the RC Bandito has been destroyed.
Can be locked onto by aircraft's missiles or the Homing Launcher, etc.
To destroy:

2 from Homing Missiles / RPG / Grenade & Grenade Launchers / Sticky Bomb and no more than 50 seconds later = RC Bandito Bonfire;
3 from Homing Missiles / RPG / Grenade & Grenade Launchers / Sticky Bomb and it's an instant barbecue (no delay, immediately destroyed);
4 Explosive Rounds (Pump Shotgun Mk.2 or Heavy Sniper Rifle Mk.2) = 50 second later and destroyed;
15 Explosive Rounds (no reloading) = destroyed instantly, but it'll probably be 14 for most people.

If your results differ, consider that once the RC Bandito is smoking badly and has less than 0 engine health (a negative value), it's only a matter of time before it destroys itself as mentioned - so if you take a few seconds break between each shot, you may only need 8 explosive rounds.
The player that destroys the RC Bandito will be awarded with a kill against that player, and will show in the kill feed.
Likewise, the player using the RC Bandito that kills another player, via Remote Bomb detonation or whatever other means, will also be awarded a kill for that, and shows in the kill feed.
Don't use normal guns. If you do, consider them more as a deterrent. Up-N-Atomizer works well.
To ensure you're doing damage, aim at the back of the RC Bandito - that's where it's engine seemingly lies and takes the most damage.






Any updates will be added to this post.
Anything else you'd like me to check or test let me know and if it's possible I'll get right on it.

Driving hard into people will stuble them over. Jumping on them does that aswell. Kinetic mines seem to be most usefull, since you can use that and detonate the little thing straight after.

Great for safhouse hopping tryhards. Great for offradar tryhards. Great to troll others.

RCWayOut also doesn't negativly influence your KoodlieDoodlies.

Could imagine and see how useful the matchbox vehicle is.
Even bring some laughers,
but the Online portion of game is getting way unrealistic and ridiculous, with each updates.

Gangsters and their alien techs and toy cars.
