GTA Online Players Claim That NPCs Fuel Their Road Rage
The majority of accidents that occurred on Los Santos’ roads, Liberty City, and Vice City were historically caused by GTA players.
When you’re trying to boost a stolen vehicle or outrun a gaggle of cops who want you in for other crime who are looking to get you in, who has the time to stop at red lights and avoid costly speeding tickets?
GTA Online players seem to be getting into more accidents than they need.
GTA Online Players Claim That NPCs Fuel Their Road Rage
User Dizzy_Effort8985 posted the following clip in the GTA Online Subreddit: An NPC driving back and forth on the road, seemingly for no apparent reason. It almost scraped the player’s sports car.
Many other users shared this opinion, with one saying that they experience more road rage in GTA than in real life. Another described a recent situation in which an NPC-piloted police car ran into them, causing them to be wanted for the offense.
Other players shared stories of Autoshop and Import/Export missions that went wrong due to a single errant NPC. This led to frustration for innocent players who were left to clean up the dents and scratches.
UnconfirmedRooster, meanwhile, explained what they believe is the reason for this phenomenon. He said: “It has been actually proven that NPCs actually attempt to ram player every now and again. It is best to drive erratically, as it will stop it for some reason.
Unfortunately, some players don’t find this solution satisfying. User lurizan4life declared: “If they crash into me and flip an middle finger to me, I’ll kill them outright” and Darbme1ster added: “At the slightest mishap from a NPC, my blow them up and their car.”
Some players are more patient than others. User jonathandeckers suggested that the NPC in this clip may just be warming up for a race.
