This griefer in GTA Online had a bad plan to kill an seemingly helpless player in the hair salon. But his plan absolutely backfired and ended up being really embarrassing for him.
What happened? A griefer had devised a plan on how he could take down another player with almost no chance. The player in question is sitting in the chair in the hair salon, getting his hair done. Suddenly, the griefer shoots at him. But while sitting in the hair salon chair, one is invulnerable. So the griefer thinks, ‘I’ll just throw a lot of smoke bombs into the shop and camp in front of the exit, then he’ll die inside.’
But this plan does not work at all. Thanks to the rocket launcher.
The player is ‘surprised’ by his own action
Here’s how the attack went down: Player “rightnowmayne” shows a clip on reddit and says, “These modern griefers are lazy, man.” He also posts a clip from his GTA Online session. The clip starts with a griefer who initially tries to take out the hairdresser. But this NPC is invulnerable, and the griefer has to find another way. Player rightnowmayne writes, “Can’t a man just get a haircut in peace?” in the chat. To which the griefer replies that he will take care of him after the visit to the hairdresser.
The griefer now throws several tear gas grenades into the shop. Player rightnowmayne gets up from the chair and his health starts to tick down. He has only a few seconds left. He pulls out his rocket launcher and runs to the door, where the griefer is already waiting for him with his weapon drawn.
But the sneaky camper doesn’t hit properly – and that, despite having all the time in the world to prepare. Embarrassing. Rightnowmayne has enough time to blast the griefer with a rocket from the rocket launcher.
While the griefer dies immediately, our hero survives the action with an absolute minimum of health points.
Here’s the clip of the action:
These are the reactions on reddit:
- “Why didn’t he just put C4 on the door and handle it that way?” “Griefers are not smart”
- “The fact that you managed to escape the gas and kill the griefer with a tiny amount of health left is excellent.”
- “Thanks, I was sure I was dead. I surprised myself with that.”
- “This is just sad, it’s like they’re not even trying anymore. I hated them when I was a low level, but now I have the weapons and vehicles to defend myself, so it’s just annoying.”
In the comments, user rightnowmayne explains that the action actually took about four minutes, and he edited the video. He explains that the opponent attacked the hairdresser for minutes and tried everything to kill him. But in the end, it didn’t work.
