Ehrenfried Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 Ony many occasion during freemode play, when the green circle appears where a crate will be dropped there will be no crate. We've waited at thr circle 30 min. but nope nothing. Is there any way i can caused the glitch maybe by too early there? I mean it's not happening everytime, like 4/10 times but it's damn annoying. And i got a feeling that the crates are different. I always had a red smoke and a red light, but one time i had white smoke and white light only, but nothing spectacular in it. Anyone here with the same problem? Or a solution? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarDreamer99 Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 I don't remember encountering an issue like this. However, I normally arrive at the drop site after the crate actually dropped. Yesterday, I flew by a green crate circle where a guy was waiting for the crate. He seemed to be waiting there for quite awhile. Maybe he experienced the same problem as you. Perhaps, this is a recent issue introduced by the latest update? I've collected close to 50 crates and never once witnessed white smoke (or so I believe). Note that the vast majority of my crate collection was done before the 1.04 patch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDMHatchG Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 I've experienced this as well. Probably about 3/4 times out of the 25 i've tried to collect. Never seen white smoke but sometimes there's no smoke at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barad Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 do crates drop in inv only? i played with a friend for about 2 hours and not one crate dropped. The only crate that I ever found was in an invite only session, I had 2 friends with me though and we were in that session for probably around 2 hours.

JuSt BLaZe Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 Yeah same shit occured to me with a special crate drop. I was so ready getting it with the buzzard but instead I ended up fighting another random player at the horse race track and the crate never ever appeared, the yellow smoke and the marking on the map was still there though!

Whateverman Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 Happens all the time to me. The Special Crates have stopped, or I'm just not lucky enough to be around when the drop... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonJK Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Mine started today, I got the message when I was on the opposite side of the map. I 'purple lined' it and drove all the way ther and when I got there the icon disappeared and I couldn't find any crate or green circle or anything. I was playing inivte only but I was the only one in the game? I am supposed to wait did it screw me over? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit like in the single player with the trevor airport missions. Usually says though "a gang has collected the crate" or something like that, i've only seen it twice. Maybe because you were on your own it didnt say that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamiereloaded23 Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 I am at level 66 and not once have I seen anything mentioned to me about crates, I play quite often in freemode just messing around, but no icon/message comes through.....am I a high enough level?

CloudMir Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Happens a lot to me, too, though I'm platinumed for this and high enough level that a few thousand RP isn't a huge incentive anymore, so I don't go after them as much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leprekon Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 same, why does it say locked? also says Pegasus (from rank 3) is locked I am rank 132 wtf Buy a boat, plane or tank and Pegasus will unlock. $16000 for a sea shark I believe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just want them unlocked. Stupid as no solid source of how to unlock it. I'm told something about Ron & Trevor missions/phone calls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonJK Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 They have only ever dropped for me right after, or within a few minutes of, doing a mission for them. Problem is they are only texting me the stupid 'rob a fuel tanker ones' (same with Gerald). How the frig do you rob such a slow big piece of cr@p and still get away from bikers and cops?

If you bought a plane, copter or sea craft then where was it stored as you can only buy houses with garages. So I guess Pegasus is just a delivery service for said crafts?

leprekon Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 It's a delivery service I believe. I found in google to buy a sea shark as it was the cheapest. I did see a garage door with Pegasus on it near the dock when doing a cargobob mission to steal a crate. I'm still trying to figure this mystical crate drop unlock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dar280885 Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Same here, level 51 now and still not getting crate drops Heard someone say you have to do the "Steal a Lost van" mission for Trevor and they will call/text you when they drop from then on ........ I had already done this mission solo but thought I'd call Ron anyway, he gave me that mission again. So I completed it and then waited an hour or so, wasn't doing anything so I called Ron again thinking it might be a different one of his you need to do but he gave me the same mission again, I did it again anyway, waited 5 mins and called him back, same mission again .... didn't do it the third time Don't know if anyone else has heard of this being the trigger (I can't remember where I read it myself) but has anyone else experienced this and do you think it could be the reason the crate drops aren't spawning as the game thinks I haven't done this mission yet? I'm getting $2000 each time so I assume from the update that reduced $ is given from missions the game knows I've completed it already otherwise it would give more This might be a total red-herring but will see what others say Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had already done this mission solo but thought I'd call Ron anyway, he gave me that mission again. I did that one for the 'bring any stolen goods and I may be interested' text. Later I did the pinch drugs from Lost near a pier and finally got the package from a jet skier but cause of that I had no decent vehicle when I finally got to chase the package and missed it. Thing is I can only get to play in 5 hours blocks and the chance of doing so without losing connection is rare and usually get about 1 hours a time but maybe location being near his trailer and length of playtime is a factor? There could be a set time between phone calls to keep you playing events and missions and Ron is in a rotation along with the other mission givers.
