Summary
Grand Theft Auto Onlineplayers are just now realizing that the game’s Bottom Dollar Bounties update, which was released back in June, has broken the iconic yellow highway paddles by changing their physics and how they can be interacted with by the player.Grand Theft Auto Online’s Bottom Dollar Bounties update was another massive and completely free patch filled with new content for players to check out, but it seems to have slipped under the radar that the update also broke this iconic feature introduced inGrand Theft Auto 5.
WhileGrand Theft Auto 6fans are still patiently waiting for a second trailer,GTA Onlineplayers are still making the most of the new content being added to the popular live-service title on a regular basis. There’s no word on what will happen toGTA OnlineonceGTA 6is released, but Rockstar Games is still currently supporting the title with new updates. The last major patch came back in June with Bottom Dollar Bounties, a massive update that added new vehicles, missions, and a new bounty-hunting business for players to take charge of.
GTA Online’s Bottom Dollar Bounties updateis now four months old, but players have just realized that the patch has “broken” the game’s iconic yellow highway paddles. Twitter user Lucas7yoshi was the first to bring this controversial change to the community’s attention, stating that before the update, the yellow paddles would “tilt and hinge” but now they can’t even be interacted with by the player unless in a vehicle. Previously, when driven over at a reduced speed, the paddles would bounce back into place, but now they simply break off their hinges, regardless of the speed the player is going.
Grand Theft Auto Online Update Breaks Iconic GTA 5 Feature
In a follow-up tweet, the user noted that the paddles now break from any sort of contact with a vehicle, whereas they would previously require the player to hit them at a high speed for them to completely break. It’s not clear whether this was anintentional change toGTA Onlineor Rockstar simply wasn’t aware that it altered the physics behind these items, but Lucas7yoshi said they “would be extremely surprised if this was a deliberate thing.”
With Rockstar now working hard toreleaseGrand Theft Auto 6in Fall of 2025, it’s unlikely that the studio will allocate the resources to adjust such a minor bug, but it’s definitely something that has bothered fans. In response to the above tweet,Chrissaid it “was so fun when you’d do the random drive around the map,” whileMarkEndlessquestioned where the fun of driving was if these paddles are now broken.
