"Behind the barber shop"

[NekoiNemo]

Why do clients love this location so much? It feels like every time i schedule a deal for one of the two night slots - the first one will always be that one. Which wouldn't be problem in and of itself, if not for the fact that it's a place where the cops stand all night every night, in front of that one street corner, with flashlights pointed precisely at the place where the client will be waiting.

Considering there's no option to reschedule, it feels like game is trying to have you get chased by cops with clients from Northtown consistently picking that location at night...

When I first started running into that I assumed it was a sting operation of some type. I'm writing this now looking at a guy wanting to buy 6x OG Kush at the barbershop 20 feet away from two cops with flashlights pointed at him.

What's even worse is that, because you can only interact with people from the front, you can't just pile up barrels by the ledge there, and talk with them from there. You have to approach them from the street, in plain view of the cops, and try to fit into the one specific spot where you're just within the interaction reach, but also blocked from the cops view

Go from behind , i always to that the same way .
Hide behind the trees just next to the client and you'll see the prompt to offer the deal . It's quite tricky but when you got it becomes just a task like any other

Just wait until everyone wants to meet in "central canal" and "behind the auto shop".
These locations are right next to each other, and there are cops walking by constantly.

That's the one i meant in the end. There's one specific spot at about the max interaction length, where the pole and tree hide you from both cops view, but you can just about able to reach the client. It's very inconvenient compared to pretty much any other place.

Oh, i do get those, but at least there cops just walk by (and they seem to stop patrols almost entirely in the Late Night time slot). This one corner is, to my knowledge, the only place cops actually just stand and watch all night. I think it's meant to make driving a car between centre and North/West parts of map inconvenient at night

Try walking backwards, if your graphical settings are on medium or low, the cops won't load in and won't perceive you from behind, works on my end, just don't look at them.

I get noticed by them so they chase after me, it is insanely easy to get away if you have a skateboard. When you go back they aren't there anymore

[SaltMaster]

It's not that hard to cheese them... simply crouch and make sure that a tree blocks the line of sight and you can deal literally right in front of the cops. I've done deals with people with a cop a metre away facing the other direction.

[The Shelby Sensation]

guys, just approach the location with your back turned to the cops. Their awareness is somehow tied to *your* pov. Look away and they won't see you until you are practically under their nose.

Crouch and place yourself behind the tree nearby to prevent the police from catching you.

[DescipleOfZen]

You can crouch in the tree, BUT it takes maybe 20 seconds to just knock out the cops, even quicker if you have a blicky unlocked. Just pop em.

That's not really the issue here... =_=
