Griefer in GTA Online plans a nasty attack at the hairdresser’s, but fails embarrassingly

This GTA Online griefer had a lousy plan to kill a seemingly helpless player at the hair salon. But his plan didn’t work out at all and ended up being really embarrassing for him.

What happened? A griefer had come up with a plan how he could kill another player with almost no chance. The player in question is sitting on the chair in the hair salon and having his hair done. Suddenly the Griefer shoots at him. But you’re invulnerable on the barber’s chair. So the griefer thinks something like “I’ll just throw a lot of smoke bombs in the shop and camp outside, then he’ll die inside.”

But this calculation doesn’t add up at all. Thanks to the rocket launcher.

Player is “surprised himself” by his action

Here’s how the attack went: Gamer “rightnowmayne” shows a clip on reddit and says: “These modern day griefers are lazy man”. He also publishes a clip from his GTA Online session. The clip starts with a griefer who first tries to kill the hairdresser. But this NPC is invulnerable and the griefer has to find another way. Gamer rightnowmayne writes “Can’t a man get a haircut in peace and quiet?” in the chat. To which the Griefer replies that he will take care of him after the visit to the barber.

The Griefer will now throw multiple tear gas grenades in the shop. Player rightnowmayne gets up from the chair and right now his health starts ticking down. He only has a few seconds. He pulls out his rocket launcher and runs to the door, where the Griefer is already waiting for him with his gun drawn.

But the nasty camper doesn’t hit the mark – even though he had all the time in the world to prepare. Awkward. Rightnowmayne has enough time to blast the Griefer directly with a missile from the missile launcher.

While the griefer dies directly, our hero survives the action with an absolute minimum of life points.

These are the reactions on reddit:

• “Why didn’t he just grab C4 at the door and settle everything with that?” “Griefers are not smart”
• “The fact that you managed to escape the gas and kill the griefer with a tiny bit of health left is outstanding.”
  • “Thanks, I was sure I was dead. Surprised myself with it.”
• “It’s just sad, it’s like they don’t even try anymore. I hated them when I was low level, but now I have the guns and vehicles to defend myself, so it’s just annoying.”

User rightnowmayne explains in the comments that the action actually lasts 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.
