GTA V Special Vehicle Guide: Lustered Gauntlet
0In this Video, I show how to obtain the Lustered Gauntlet from "Father/Son." After I obtain it, I reload the Save and show that it's still there.
Unlike IV, TLaD, and TBoGT, Lusters behave MUCH differently in V. You can NOT just reload your Save and try again for a different Luster. Instead, you must approach different Strategies to change Lusters. For the Lustered Gauntlet, start Father/Son with a Random Car! Don't arrive on foot. Do the Mission normally until Franklin jumps onto the Yacht and shortly after that, you will notice a Flatbed crashing with a loaded Gauntlet. Jack the Gauntlet as quickly as you can! The Mission will fail, hit Exit, and you will still be driving this Gauntlet. Now drive near Michael's House again, BUT DON'T drive inside the yard! Park the Gauntlet a bit away from his House, couple of hundred meters or so. Then run to Michael's House on foot, start the Mission. If you're successful, you will notice the Gauntlet is still sitting where you left it. Go through the Mission and you will notice the Gauntlet change Lusters repeat the process until a Special Luster appears on the Gauntlet!
Don't confuse this Lustering Method with the Long Retry one, they're not the same! Doing Long Retry on the Gauntlet will force the Game to spawn it near Michael's House on a Scripted Spot, but then it won't be marked anymore, thus the Gauntlet won't change Lusters in the Mission! You NEED to do it exactly as explained, or else it won't work.
This Special Vehicle was long thought to not be possible to change Lusters, but thanks to this Marking Technique, we can obtain it along with the Lustered Baller2!

Once again unlike IV, TLaD, and TBoGT, MOST Lusters are NOT going to be special in V. So that means if this Gauntlet would interest you, you'd want to surely get one of the ONLY SPECIAL Luster that can spawn on this Gauntlet. However, to know the exact Luster, you would have to boot your Save up in a Save Editor to check the Colors you get to know if it's truly special or not in terms of the Luster!
A Luster is a Color in which overlaps the Base Color and can be seen when I move the camera angle around in sunlight. Some Lusters are better seen at night while some are better seen in daylight and there is even some Lusters, depending on the Base Color of the Vehicle, that are very faint and you'll hardly be able to see them.
