Please read the entire post before attempting!
This very simple trick will allow you to respawn in the exact spot you died in (even if you killed yourself in the air!) and will hide you off the radar for a few seconds every time you do it, along with being able to repair any vehicle back to new (this includes armor, popped wheels, missing parts, etc. but it won't refill missiles/countermeasures/bombs). I'll post the steps below and then go in a bit more detailed to how to master this trick.
RESPAWN TRICK
You will need a friend in another targeting mode!
1. Start by holding down the PS button while you're in a lobby, and navigate to "Grand Theft Auto V"
2. Press right so it shows "Currently Playing With", "Other Sessions", and "Trophies", and then press right on "Other Sessions"
3. Find your friend who is in another targeting mode, and press their name
4. Press join on the following screen, but deny the in game alerts. Now when you double tap the PS button, it should take you back to that join screen
5. Next time you die, simply double tap the PS button and press join, denying the in game alerts
And that's it! Except it's a bit more complicated if you want to get the most out of it. Each time you press join, it takes about three seconds for the alerts to show up in game, which most of the time isn't enough to show up before you respawn. However, if you press join, deny the alerts, and then press join again, the alerts will pop up instantly. It's sort of like a timer. If you haven't pressed join in over a minute, it'll take a few seconds to bring up the alerts, but if you have pressed join recently, they pop up instantly. With knowing this, you should always prep the alerts if you know you're gonna die soon, that way when you do actually die, you can double tap PS button and press join and have the alerts show up instantly, allowing you to actually respawn trick properly.
Respawn tricking works everywhere, btw. It works when you get orbital cannoned, it works in deathmatches, any jobs for that matter, even in heists. It also hides you off the radar for as long as the wasted screen is up. If a player kills you, and you respawn trick and don't spam X, you can be off the radar for up to 10 seconds, the perfect amount of time for a sneaky revenge kill. You could literally stand in a Piracy Prevention/Stand Your Ground zone and keep respawn tricking each time someone kills you, bettering your rates at capturing. The video I made that will be shown at the bottom of this post shows super in-depth of respawn/repair tricking.
REPAIR TRICKING
You will need to know how to respawn trick, as shown how above!
1. Stand outside of the vehicle you want to repair (car, tank, heli, jet, whatever)
2. (Optional) Open the vehicle door so you can get in faster after respawn tricking
3. For cars, tanks, helis, etc. simply easy way out. If it's a jet or a vehicle with a long enter animation, have a friend kill you so your wasted screen is longer (you can still repair trick a jet by easy way out if your timing is nanosecond perfect)
4. As soon as you die, whether it's from EWO or a friend killing you, simply respawn trick and get in the vehicle. The only way it gets repaired is if you enter before the wasted screen goes away, which is your main goal here.
To better your success of repair tricking, press join right after you press "Kill Yourself" but before you actually see yourself die. This will spawn you pretty much the frame that you die, giving you more time of the wasted screen being up, letting you repair trick better. This repairs absolutely everything, as if you just called it from the mechanic, but it doesn't refill weapons that have limited ammo. It will even repair armor, so you can get shot in your Khanjali seven times by RPGs, repair trick it, and be good to go. You can repair cars that are literally on fire, moments away from blowing up. Sorry Johnny, but you're no longer the best mechanic in LS.
TROUBLESHOOTING
There are four problems you will ever run into, all which are solved very easily.
Pressing join only brings up an "Unable to connect to game session" alert
The solution to this is pretty easy. It simply means the person you're joining is no longer in that session, or they're doing something you can't join them during (them being in clouds joining a job, for example). All you do to fix this is just find someone else to join. cx
Pressing join doesn't bring up any alerts at all
It's pretty much the same problem as the first but in a different way. The person you're trying to join isn't in that session, or doing something you can't join them during, and is also solved by just trying something else. (Both of these problems are only common if you're joining people who have been in lobbies for 2-3+ hours, so it's not too common if you're going off someone who just hopped on.)
Pressing join put me in a black screen and I can't get out (#1)
Normally, if it's your first time respawn tricking in a session and you're joining someone, but get a black screen, it means you're joining someone who's in the same targeting mode as you. The solution to this requires you to still have someone who is in a different targeting mode, and all you want to do is press join on them, accept the first alert, and deny the targeting priority alert. This will get you off the black screen, but if it still doesn't, do it again (and even one more time) and it will get you off of it. It's very rare it takes more than one time though.
Pressing join put me in a black screen and I can't get out (#2)
The second type of black screen normally happens rarely and in laggy lobbies when you're respawn tricking. It could would perfectly for you the past 50 times you did it, but now when you did it, you got stuck on the black screen. The solution to this is the same as the previous solution, where you just want to press join again, accept the first alert, deny the second. Keep in mind that rarely it might just skip the first alert, so pay attention to which alert you're accepting/denying. You always want to accept the "Are you sure you want to leave the session?" alert, but always always always deny the "This job/activity is in a different targeting mode" alert. When respawn tricking, you can deny both, but to get out of the very rare black screen, make sure you accept/deny the right ones.
And that's it really, feel free to experiment as there's a lot more you can do with respawn tricking than I mentioned, some things which are really abusive so I didn't share here, or some things I simply haven't discovered yet. Either way, enjoy, and here's the visual tutorial since explaining in text can be a bit weird for a glitch like this.
