GTA Online players are killing sex workers in the game to trigger a car copy error

A small problem in GTA online games is getting players to follow a series of steps, including trapping and murdering sex workers in games, to copy rare cars.

Everything is grim.

According to Polygon, players in "Grand Theft Auto Online" can now copy their vehicles by taking sex workers into the car and parking in a way that blocks the passenger door, preventing them from exiting. Players will then need to vacate the vehicle and shoot the car's hood until the sex worker inside catches fire.

From there, players call their in-game insurance company, take the car to the garage, drive it out of the garage, and kill the sex workers. This will cause both the car and sex workers to disappear and allow players to re-enter the garage to duplicate the vehicle.

Rockstar apparently fixed a similar glitch earlier this month-following the same general steps, but asking you to shoot sex workers. But according to data miner Tez2, their solution is simply to kill sex workers to prevent the failure from triggering-apparently, the failure requires them to be alive. Many players have found a solution to set the car on fire "so that they can use the malfunction when they die."
