Bring Back the MiniGun?

Not in MP because itd be like the blizzard..overpowered

I remember the minigun in SA and VC just killing thousands of cops was endlessfun!

 

If they do,

 

it should be unlocked by completing the story mode or doing 100% completion

and the ammo cannot be obtained by cheats and is hard to get

e.g ammo only available in a highly restricted military base where you have to steal it

 

what do you think?

 

Terminator 2 Mini Gun Scene- Skip to 0:50

 

- Skip to 1:33

 

EDIT

 

Just thought after you do some missions in RDR you get rewarded

I was thinking for GTA V since there is family hostage missions

Micheals son may get kidnapped n all that ransom demand bla bla

and trevor wants to help, bring a minigun soyu can go crazy on them and you

get the gun after , available in your mansion basement in a safe?

yeah, that is a must, because you know: it's grand theft auto, it's about endless rampages. I'm pretty sure they will add it so fear not

I was thinking the same thing yesterday. I think it would be a great "toy" that is buyable only

If its anything like the Gatling Gun in Red Dead Redemption, then yes! Now as for a handheld minigun, I don't know

As long as it don't have use or appearance in the main and side story missions as OP suggested that it should be only unlocked after 100% completion i don't have nothing against it, as i wouldn't use it and won't be forced to use that unrealistic crap in the game.

A mounted minigun maybe, carrying around a minigun is ridiculous.

Yes, it is ridiculous. That is exactly why we should be able to carry it. I don't play games to experience the limitations of real life, I play them to do insane sh*t.

 

Also, OP, why not be able to get it through cheats? Cheats pretty much warp reality in every other way anyways, so why not?

Well I'm guessing the LMG from TBOGT is returning, but still would love to see some variety by adding a minigun, as long as It's not unrealistically overpowered like in SA blowing literally everything up in a second. Made me want to edit the weapon.dat

It would be to easy to get and the nature of it being hard to get and rare and valuable etc would be gone making it the same as getting a baseball bat literally tounge.gif

Never understood why GTA IV didn't have the minigun and flamethrower.

So don't use the cheat.

 

It's quite simple, really. No one makes one use cheats.

Nothing here is optional on GTAF. It is my way or the highway. First time I have seen gamers go aganist cheats. GTA gamers nonetheless.

 

Or the guy above who does not want to use a minigun because it is so he does not use "that unrealistic crap in the game. "

 

Switch to another weapon. Done. Minigun is gone. The whole game is unrealistic. How come you do not stay on jail for all your life?

Well it could be one of those compact miniguns?

 

Also for the op please post your ideas on the pinned wishlist thread.

 

LOCK plz.

Hell yes i want the minigun, and the flamethrower, but they should be really expensive, and even if you do have the money they should be reasonably hard to source and obtain. That way they will really feel rewarding when you finally get to unleash them.

The Minigun could return but the question would be how it would exactly work? I think it would work in a more realistic way compared to the 2D- or 3D-era GTA games i.e. the Minigun would be mounted on a vehicle or on a 'platform'.

That could be cool too. Also works to make it a bit harder to get, as you have to have a vehicle altered to mount it.

Realism and fun do not exclude each other, you can have both things at the same time. It doesn't make the game less fun just because the Minigun is mounted and you can't carry it around. On the other hand, a game that is more over the top, is not necessarily more fun.

If you get killed by a chopper in freemode, it should spawn you right next to the minigun. F*ck pilots.

I surely did miss this in IV, that mod that changed IV into San Andreas also made me miss it more.

I'm not the biggest realism fanatic, but a man-portable Minigun is just too much IMO. It's just not set up like most weapons. It need's external power and a ridiculous amount of rounds. The weight of all that would make it horrible for GTA V as a handheld weapon. Something like this would be much better...

Like I have said in the past, if they give us the M60 that I can shoulder fire with accuracy ( not the SAW from TBOGT ) then I am good.

Of course realism and fun don't exclude eachother, but I see no real benefit to restricting miniguns to vehicles.

 

I mean, why not be able to carry them? This isn't a simulator, and if the fuel system people can support a fuel system the way they do, then I can support stuff I want in the same way.

Not having it in multiplayer? Nah that would suck. But I agree it would be OP like the buzzard. The best way around it would be to improve preferences, so you don't get put into a game with chopper circlers and mini-gun/bazooka abusers.

 

But then again, if you want to be in a game with those things, you just change your preferences.

Maybe include it in MP as a temporary gun. like, you have to drop it in order to go indoors or get in a vehicle. there should be some overpowered guns in MP. that adds to the thrill. but make the overpowered guns have certain limits.

Yeah I agree. If you don't want it in MP, than play a friendly-fire OFF game. Unlike IV, in GTA 5, bazookas and mini-guns shouldn't destroy other players cars.

People talking about having t only in vehicles should be content enough, becuase thid way, they were already in IV.
