Should Low Level People have access to Powerful Weapons

[Entity-XF]

Hey there to the GTA Online community. Simple as this: Do you guys agree that low level ranked people should have access to the Special Carbine and Heavy Pistol. I mean these low level people can defend them selves with good guns that a high level player worked for a Carbine Rifle or Combat MG. What do you guys think? Comment your opinions bellow.

At any level, if you can take out someone that's using a Carbine/Combat MG using only a Heavy Pistol, then props to you. I'm all for it.

[DiveGummi]

They will get wrecked most of the time by a high level players because they have more experience it won't matter anyways

[JohnGazman]

I was pondering this myself the other day, as it did strike me as odd that you can't get the regular Assault Rifle until you hit level 24, but you can get the Special Carbine as soon as you can access Ammu-nation.

 

Then again, this isn't neccessarily a bad thing. For example, say you start a second character, so you've got the money to cover it and the skill to use it.

[dudclub55]

Yes. Just because you didn't invest enough time into the game doesn't mean you should be completely defenseless against everyone else.
Besides, weapon mods are still expensive and low level players get an embarrassingly low amount of ammo, so..

[sash2k4plus]

I don't mind. I only play missions so if noobs get the job done efficiently then it's all good.

@OP those guns are pretty expensive. 12k for a low-level is quite a bit.; half the price of your first garage.

[Nyraider77]

In the end I don't mind. But no they shouldn't. It doesn't make sense that some had to work while newbies get and advantage many of us did not have. Don't care about the pistol. But they special carbine somewhat evens the field.

[trhacker01]

Yes, its good for them to have something to defend themselves. I remember being at the point of having the Uzi and being sought out by someone with a Lazer. It was funny, and a rifle wouldn't have helped anyway, but the overall huge disadvantage sucked.

[XJpostman]

I wouldn't mind seeing the special carbine locked till level 20 or something but then there is the G. Sweeper that was only a limited time purchase so it'd be unfair to keep that from a low level player.

[OTF_Crow]

Who cares

[xInfamousRYANx]

Yes its fair. I remember being low level without a smg yet and getting raped by higher guns. It balances out as higher levels get snipers and explosives

[LambentBunny]

They have 1/5 of the health of a level 100 = player anyway.

[Hx1349]

The special carbine and etc were gifts / dlc. that is why there aren't level requirements. They were given for all to enjoy as part of the updates.

 

Honestly, those poor newbie players who have almost 0 chance of defense against their commonly encountered threats, need some sort of decent weapon so they at least stand some chance in deathmatches compared to how dirty most people play.

[Fail_At_GTA]

Having powerful weapons at a low level defeats the purpose of ranking up.

[Sussus Amongus]

Im all in fpr pwning noobs with UZI's but i allways felt like an asshole. Now they atleast have good weapon so yeah. Makes it more fair than an Advanced Rifle lvl 179 vs Micro SMG lvl 14. But the over lvl 100's will win cause the RPG is great for opponents behind cover. The only good weapons are the AP Pistol, RPG, Auto Shottie and the Advance Rifle anyway.

 

Edit: Heavy Sniper too.

I wish I could've gotten a special carbine when I was low level. I hated being outgunned cause all I had was that stupid SMG. Even by players that I knew if it was an even fight I would mop the floor with. I'm still looking for the guy that killed me 11 times when I was around lvl 15 when I was just trying to get my car out of impound

[Chekoloco]

Define Low Level....

I don't give a damn.

 

I know some like to curb stomp, "newbs", but I'm not one of those people.

[Crepuscular]

I actually always had a Carbine after rank 20 - whenever a session started I'd drive to the Riot spawn and steal the weapon of it.

[Killbook]

No, we had to work for it and so do you. That's like saying you get all car upgrades and gun tints because you're a low level.

[fw3]

I'm a level 123 right now and only got the minigun recently. It was a crowning reward to a challenge of reaching that specific level.

I can't help but shake my head when I see a level 74 using the minigun or a level 14 driving a tank. I know there's ways to get them, but it just makes the point of working toward something seem moot.

At the end of the day, it doesn't really matter. Just that consistency within the game's boundaries would be nice.

I mean, a level 972 player? Really? ugh.

[Coin]

I've got zero qualms with them having access to the weapons that they do.

 

They aren't exactly great equalizers, but it at least allows them to stand a fighting chance on these rough streets.

[JoeMamma81]

Yes. Yes they should. How else would they have any chance in Hell of combating the glitcher who glitched himself to a higher rank with millons of dollars and a minigun and a RPG?

 

You can't deny them the DLC weapons just because they're lower rankings....

[Entity-XF]

this is true

If you don't care then why did you comment on this forum

I see your point there, in that case I am with you

[owlboogie]

It was nice having a LSPD Special Carbine and Sweeper to start my second character. I felt safer in DMs that allowed owned guns. I guess don't mind n00bs having them.

[Miss Malevolent]

If you don't care then why did you comment on this forum

First simple response, cause you asked in your first post.

 

Second, cause I can.

 

Lastly, if you only want people to agree with your sentiments...might I suggest you make your statements in a mirror versus posting them on the forum where others may have a differing opinion.

Would you guys think that R* is making a mistake by giving a free sports car(Elegy RH8) to noobies

[Pizza_Is_Emo]

Yes they should.

[Alec Skorpio]

Weapons should have never been locked out by rank anyways, at least not in freeroam.

So yes, yes they should.
