Summary
After more than 10 years of playingGTA Online,a fan has only recently noticed a neat little detail about the smoking emote.GTA Onlinewas released in October 2013 as the multiplayer counterpart ofGrand Theft Auto 5. It has been more than a decade since the launch, and the game is still keeping players engaged with new content and regular updates.
Themost recentGTA Onlineupdatehas introduced players to the new bounty-hunting missions provided by Maude Eccles from the single-player mode. The update has also added a number of new vehicles, like all previous Summer updates. Three of these nine are emergency vehicles that can be used in Dispatch Work for Vincent Effenburger. With this update, Rockstar has also increased the payouts and timers for several missions and activities. In the middle of all these new activities, players are still finding ways to amuse themselves by finding little details in the gameplay.
Smoking is an emote inGTA Onlinewhich makes the character take two puffs from a cigarette and then dispose of it. Of course, the player needs to buy cigarettes from a shop or through the menu if they want to use this emote. It’s worth mentioning that, no matter how many times the emote button is pressed, the player’s character only takes two puffs and never smokes the full cigarette. Reddit user TheLewJD recently pointed out that it’s possible to smoke the whole cigarette by holding both of the sticks on a controller. The player also mentions in their post that it took them 10 years to notice this.
Though the player in question discovered it recently, it’s not a new mechanic in the game. The option to play out the full emote was always there from the beginning, but it wasn’t explicitly mentioned anywhere in the controls menu. Many players already know the trick, as one commenter points out. However, most commenters on the post admit that they didn’t know that players could smoke a full cigarette in the game. These small details andEaster eggs inGTA Onlinekeep players engaged and interested in the game even a decade after its release.
