Should Low Level People have access to Powerful Weapons

[SurfaceNoise]

Carbine over any other rifles anyday.

 

I keep a stock ak in gold just to fire in the air after missions.

[Entity-XF]

No... apart from many other reasons, the most obvious is it renders the SMG's useless.

I never got anything happen by R* when you reported me. They said that don't worries, we will take care of any possible needs for you. Enjoy your stay at Los Santos. My spring break has started so now I am able to play the game

[xskinzcity]

i used the pistol untill i reached level 20. that was how stingy i was in the beginning lol and i actually won free roam deathmatches with it believe it or not,

[_PANiC_]

I agree that Low rank SHOULD NOT have been allowed access to the high powered weapons. Those of us who started at day one didn't get that advantage!. We had to walk around LS with a damn pistol!

[SurfaceNoise]

Yes, but everyone else back then had pistols as well, right? Now the average rank per player is rising, the new players would need at least a better weapon than a 9mm to pop some heads.

[xskinzcity]

maybe new players should be concerned with doing missions and leveling up before hitting the streets acting like the new tough kid on the block.

[Q_Man]

Yeah and you sound like a biatch! Lol. Who cares. If you suck you suck. If you're good you're good.

[Flameboy2278]

I'm gonna say yes given the fact that I just made a second character and having powerful weapons have helped me win way more gun fights given my lower health than higher level players. And also it has made ranking up way easier.

Up to a certain point... I mean, give a level 20 a minigun and you can guess what happens.

AMEN.

NOPE. we all started with pistols. BUT remember the guy who was ranked higher than you?? he had better weapons. I had pistol he had a SMG. i got the SMG he had a rifle... what did i do??? RANK UP. grind. so that i could have those more powerful weapons. i always ask my lower level crew members while grinding RR..'whats ur next weapon'? SHOCKED, they dont know. why. cuz R* gave em the best ones. I KNEW what i was trying to get next.

AMEN. my original response below.

 

Lame. My whole thing was grinding to save $ n RANK UP. No incentive to do this for them. Its better than the assualt rifle which they'd unlock first.

I just bought whatever I could whenever I can when I started playing online. I'm not pissed even if the newbies get the ''best'' weapons now, because they can't compare in reaction timing and long distance with the Heavy sniper.

The level based unlock system for weapons is what stops GTAV freemode from being as fun as GTAIV freemode. You get to a point where everyone has sticky bombs/RPGs or grenade launchers. The same was true for RDR and dynamite.

 

In GTAIV you only had what you picked up so you could gauge what people had by watching them on the map and see what pick ups disappear as they traveled. That way you knew what you were going in to when you approached them. You could actually have a pistol fight with someone. Now it's all just who pulls the most destructive weapon first. Im not hating on GTAV freemode as i play it all the time but it will never be as fun as GTAIV because of consequences and permanent weapon load-outs.

[hairyguy4]

I love to give tanks to level 10 players and under and watch chaos ensue

[SuperJude™]

YES!

 

It is wholly ridiculous to force low level players to rank up in order to play PvP matches on equal ground. Unfathomably stupid setup as most people don't take the time to set their lobbies up.

 

Too many times in FM I have seen high level people continuously killing low levels and why not? All they have to protect themselves is a sh*tty pistol and then the sh*tty micro-SMG.

 

Plus, waiting till lvl 20 for bulletproof?

 

I say we need a starter kit of weapons.

 

Pump Shottie, Combat/Heavy pistol, GRENADES.

[Kampioen]

No, I think adding the DLC weapons without rank requirement was ridiculous. It completely undermines the whole system of unlocking good weapons with rank. Now, if you're just starting up, almost every weapon you unlock up to the advanced rifle is useless because you already have the special carbine. Lame as f*ck.

[pollopelao]

i dont care about it because i got all unlockedd, but yes it should be same guns for all, same with the cars parts

[Kampioen]

I liked gradually unlocking all the weapons and car parts. If only for the fact that it made me play a bit with every weapon.

[FrozenInferno]

After a game like this is out for a while and there are a lot of high level players something HAS to be done to help new players get a little bit of help starting out. Most new players couldn't hit a barn from 30 feet away so at the very least let him have something that will do a little damage if he connects.

 

Seeing high level players getting butthurt about giving new players a few nice guns makes me shake my head. Yeah, when we started everybody had pistols. The guy who got a head start on you might have unlocked the SMG first, but for the most part you stayed one step behind him as you levelled up. I guarantee you didn't join a lobby on day one only to walk into a war zone full of tanks, buzzards, and miniguns. The game is in a different state than it was when GTA:O launched and adjustments have to be made if Rockstar hopes to attract new players, get over it.

 

If they gave a new player a tank or something then you'd have an argument. It's just a carbine, relax.

[dzian]

They should get access to most guns a lot sooner leave the upgrades for the higher levels.

 

The power curve is sooo ridiculously steep that nost of the time skill has nothing to do wih who wins a gun fight butbwho has the highest level weapons.

 

Being new and sucking because your new thats fine. You learn and improve.

 

Being new and sucking cos thw game doesnt even give you a fighting chance. Thats bad design. And I believe thats a significant reason why many players avoid deathmatches. Because they dont even stand a chance.

 

People always vomplain about how empty deathmatches are and I think the way weapons unlock is a pretty big factor.

[Chrunchip]

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.

This and the access to the main chars bank account are the only reasons why u should ever start another/new character.

Hard enough to unlock racing parts nowadays without a friend who trade them with you...

[UchihaRingo]

I agree that Low rank SHOULD NOT have been allowed access to the high powered weapons. Those of us who started at day one didn't get that advantage!. We had to walk around LS with a damn pistol!

Okay, but let's say for some strange reason your character(s) get deleted? At least you would have access to the guns and things the low ranks have now. So you wouldn't have much of a grind to go for good weapons (Because the Special Carbine is amazing!)

By that logic they should also give low levels millions of dollars and all the car mods.

What? How is giving low levels a fair chance by having some of the guns we have in the same as giving them all of the car mods and millions? It really seems like no one wants to have leveled playing fields in online gaming any more not even if it is the smallest bit of help for someone under your level. Last night I got into a fight with a level ten (I am a Level 149) he had the Special Carbine and I was killing him but AT least he was fighting back and killing me some times as well. Point is, yeah we that got the game when it first came out had it harder yes. But at the same time the game has progressed and better things have come out to try and balance things. No need to bury the lower levels when it is clear if you are a high rank you could easily kick their asses.

However by Panics logic all low-levels are brand new players... which probably isn't the case.

You're right, I don't want a level playing field. That's boring to me. I want to be at a disadvantage when I'm a low level and at an advantage when I'm a high level. I never bought the special carbine for my second character because sometimes I like being limited to a pistol and a sawed off shotgun.

[SuperFlyMeatbaww]

I kicked heavy ass when I started on Xbox lol. Just a bunch of high level kids picking on me, using their miniguns, rpgs and assault shotguns .-.

[Chrunchip]

Isn't it the natural process of an online game that than longer the server is up, that the start from the scratch for newbies gets easier? U can start as a lvl 80+ char on Majestia... okay that's maybe a bit extrem but i don't think it's wrong... from your point of view u could be proud that you learned the mechanics from the beginning and in hard cases u r able to defend yourself with mid-lvl weapons isn't that alone an advantage? Low levels are easy targets... low levels without weapons are just gifts for your personal K/D... sad if u need that kind of gifts.

Well, people who bought the Collector's Edition, got the Hammer, .50 Caliber and Bullpup Shotgun on day one.

[Mosin Nagant 91/30]

It makes this new generation of noobs reliant on the auto-aim automatic fire. They will never learn the skill of a good well-timed pistol headshot or close range ambushes with the sawed-off.
