How to Use Remote Control Unit in GTA Online?

Updated:

With the latest GTA Online update around the corner, players can hold the grip of the exclusive Remote Control Unit.

Several regular gamers have reported this issue to Rockstar Games that they sometimes face difficulty controlling the car in a populated area in the game. This happens mainly in GTA Online, where all the characters in the game are real-life players who control their character from one part of the world.

Most of them indulge in a war, which lowers their health without competing in any challenge. GTA Online is programmed so that only those players will benefit who play with some tactics and strategies of their own. This is the exact reason why Remote Control Unit has become a clever buy for gamers.

There are several perks of using the Remote Control Unit in a game like GTA Online, which requires a comprehensive strategy to beat other players in the game.

The device helps the players manually control the vehicle they are operating without being in the driver’s seat. The Remote Control Unit also enables them to use several sneak attack tactics with no fear of penalty. 

The only con of the Remote Control Unit is that this device cannot control every vehicle in GTA Online. Thus, you can now assume how competitive this game will be from now on. 

However, if you use the Remote Control Unit to control your driving car, you won’t use the Missile Jammer. You can use either the Remote Control Unit or the Missile Jammer. Our suggestion would be to use the one which can cause maximum damage to the opponent. 

NOTE: Missile Jammer is more beneficial for metagames where you know the exact number of auto lock missiles used.

To use the Remote Control Unit in the first place, you have to open the Interaction Menu from the screen and select the Inventory option. After scrolling down, you can find the option to select Remote Control Vehicles. After clicking on that, an option should pop up on your screen called “RC Personal Vehicle.” After clicking on the same, you will be able to activate the Remote Control Unit and play with the device in no time. 

Coming to the viewing option, the default view for the players will be the “first-person view,” where you can navigate the car from inside. The advantage of this particular view is that the players can use the weapons present inside the vehicle- such as the machine guns. 

You will also get an option to detonate the car from within the vehicle, making it a last-ditch attempt for the player. However, the gamers must file an insurance claim before starting the game.
