I'll start: Holding the handbrake while airborne will enable you to do a flat spin as opposed to rotating the car. This is something I found out recently and it turned out to be quite handy.

This is kinda an old one from red dead redemption so some of you may know. While you ADS you can press X or your jump button to roll on the ground. This will disengage anybody who is locking on to you.

Wow, that is actually really useful. I'll have to try to remember that. This isn't useful at all for Online, but it's incredible for the single player if you want A LOT of money easily. There's a subreddit where people post when stock prices on BAWSAQ are low, and just generally post tips for when to sell.

This is something probably most of you know, but I haven't seen an in-game tip about it — found it somewhere online — so maybe it's not that well-know: when you receive a cell phone notification about an invitation or a message, hold up on the d-pad to go directly to that message/invitation.

Speaking of using the phone, you can use certain contact abilities during certain game modes. There are too many to list but some of the abilities are restricted from mode to mode. The 3 most useful imo being Lester's off the radar in LTS, Lester's reveal players in deathmatch, and Merryweather's backup helicopter in survival. Also i know that no contact will answer their phone during a race so dont bother trying. GTA/Rally/standard races do not allow contact abilities.

So Left trigger (on xbox) will ADS and then you press X to roll, but it does not work if you are holding the Jerrycan, minigun, or melee weapons including fists.

I knew you could always roll when aiming. I didn't know it disengaged lock for others. Clever.

Tbh I would play without any aim assist, but unfortunately R* has decided that people who choose to play that way are in seperate lobbies from auto aim people, and that includes racing lobbies too. My first week or 2 on GTA online was in no aim assist lobbies. Racing lobbies never got bigger then 2 people.

I'm not sure how widely known this is but if you press B(circle on PS3 I think) during those annoying stunt jump camera angle changes it puts the camera back behind your car, then if you press B again it returns the camera back to regular mode. I've found this really useful on those races that involve a stunt jump, namely "Downtown Underground" and a couple of custom races with obnoxiously long camera angle change durations.
