Should The New Bullpup Rifle be level locked

[SurfaceNoise]

Seems like everyone who wants them to not have the weapons are butt hurt that they have to work for their weapons whilst the newer scrubs just get DLC weapons from the start.

[CarimboHanky]

i dont think they should lock those guns...

 

that give low levels a chance of survival in this virtual jungle.

 

as high levels we still have the upper hand as not only can we carry more ammo but we csn take more damage.

 

having this guns available to thenlow levels is just another way of balancing the game.

which is what the special carbine and heavy pistol is for

It literally makes no difference to me whether they are level locked or not. The DLC weapons aren't nearly as big of an advantage as people like to make them out to be.

 

If it is going to be level locked, it needs to be post 120. Or not at all.

[Pizza_Is_Emo]

No it should not be level locked!!! What's wrong with giving low level players a fighting chance? Are you guys really scared of a level 15 with a carbine. C'mon now. Y'all just wanna get them easy kills on them low levels.

[Tabula Rasa]

That desert eagle is nice though.

When I'm tired, and playing survivals I love to use that eagle.

 

In free aim you need vantage to make real use of it, but back when I used auto aim a bit it was just the bees knees.

*sigh* That is not the point we are trying to get across. The point is that giving low level players the best weaponry when they are JUST starting off takes away that the sense of progression that this game use to have. I'm fine with players getting the special carbine it gives them a chance but that should be the only boost they get. Edited April 23, 2014 by AwesomeJokeGTA

I don't understand the obsession with earning unlocks when the majority of GTAO players have actually earned nothing because they are/were hypocritical glitching assholes.

[rickreim]

Man, I wish I could've gotten a special carbine or a heavy pistol or a bullpup rifle when I was starting out. I had to play forever with the stupid micro smg when other players could shoot me from a block away with their assault rifles and I could barely hit someone across the street. So much easier for lower levels now.

 

But I understand what R* is doing. Anyone starting out now that had only a pistol and smg would get completely owned by players who have unlocked all the cool weapons and there are so many more of us now that they wouldn't stand a chance. They want to make the experience better for all those lower level players plus they want everyone to be spending their money so they can sell more shark cards. Those lower levels prob can barely afford it anyway so they way more likely to need to buy shark cards

-snip-

which is what the special carbine and heavy pistol is forlow levels can have those guns and guess what? we still have the upper hand, like i said in my post. as high level not only you have more health but you probably have more "experience" and can still beat them with ease...

 

i know people want them to earn their guns just like most if us that have been playing since launch but come on, some act like if they are afraid of getting owned by some level 5 with a new gun... hahaha

 

you mention the "sense of progression" in the game get lost by giving good wespons to low levels hahaha the sense of progression stops once you reach like level 40 and you have unlocked all contacts. by then you just play to rank up looking forward to unlock the tank or some other weapon.

You're implying that I want them locked so I can be a cheap shot rather than to give the weapons a sense of worth.

Not everyone here is out to grief.

low levels can have those guns and guess what? we still have the upper hand,

We're supposed to...we've been playing for 100+ ranks.

[Rezard]

I do not think they should be total freebies to low-rank players. They are really defeating the purpose of rank here.

[Governator]

Too bad the Bullpup rifle isn't going to save them when a Rhino rolls in...

[SurfaceNoise]

Pretty sure they aren't free. You had to pay for the special carbine and heavy pistol.

[Arya35]

No because they already have the special carbine. Give higher ranked players a better rifle, so that the special carbine us not the only rifle you need.

[ghostrider135]

There's a difference between hopping into a game of RR and having enough to buy the weapon and earning your stripes and cash to unlock and buy it

[SurfaceNoise]

The special carbine isn't even good imo, the carbine rifle still beats all.

 

What makes you think they'll only stick with the special carbine all the way? They still have to work for their sniper, RPG, minigun and sh*t like that. You're all concentrating on the two that is given to them but not concentrating on what IS not given to them, and they still have to work for it. Yes I will not agree to it if the heavy sniper was unlocked at level one with a price of $20,000. But they're just getting a weapon that we all can get and use as well. And we've more health so we're at an advantage lol.

[backward_axis]

Judging by the Valentine's and Business releases, they'll probably make it available to all levels. It doesn't really matter too much to me, but I think R* should just pull the condom off and make two setups- One for level restricted items and saved character progression, And another for people who just want to have fun with everything unlocked and available to them with no saving. That's just me, though.

[Aaron030792]

Doesn't really bother me to be honest.

 

I used to give high level weapons to my crew members when they started out so I would have to say no, I don't think it should be level locked.

[Heffe707]

If they are weapons that are going to stay in the game for good, then level should be required. I barely missed the Sweeper because I got really into online play shortly after it wasn't available anymore. It doesn't change the fact that there are still more superior weapons that are level locked.

[MAR10HD]

If you say people with special carbines have a chance against a minigun, I don't think you're using your minigun properly.

IMO any additional super/heavy weapons should possibly be restricted depending on effects.

Well the miniguns only really effective at free aim. At auto aim distance any gun can kill you easily Edited April 23, 2014 by AwesomeJokeGTA

[manicmechanic71]

Not having to earn your goodies shortens the life of the game imo. Maybe have to earn so many job points to buy them?

[Tali vas Normandy]

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yeah but the Point is that they don't need the SMG's or the AK at all if they get the new Guns already.They have no reason to level up to get better Guns like People had before the DLC's came out.

 

I was happy the Carbine doesn't require level because the SMG is garbage. I like them to have a fighting chance.

 

Blasphemy...the Assault SMG is a beast.

 

SNIP

Hey hey hey!

Don't doubt the assault SMG

It is really good on CQC maps and could do just as good as any assult rifle if not better.

 

OT: I don't care if its locked or not. I don't it'll make much of a diffrence.

[gorskiegangsta]

 

Nope

 

Why not?

newbies already have the retarded carbine, do they really need more reasons to make the SMG's obsolete?

No. plus low levels won't have a chance against a high level anyways

 

That's the way it works in every game.

Why the need to overpower newcomers? It's not going to help them against a Rhino.

What's it to you? So, the low level players get 'immediate' access to a more powerful gun. Why do you need to feel threatened by that? As a high lv player, your ironed out skill and environment familiarity are much more dangerous weapons, and those can't be bought or cheated.

If you ask me, the extra health for higher levels is one of the most retarded things ever (and I say that as someone who broke LV100 with both characters). I understand having extra health against NPC enemies, but not other players. This is just plain unfair for a game with competitive modes/environment.

[Coin]

I don't find the SMGs were made obsolete by the special carbine. The big issue with SMGs and it is one that has been there since launch, at least the micro smg, is that the AP pistol is f*cking OP as hell, lol.

[Gallioni]

I hope not. Lets give those low levels a chance of fighting back, shall we? I just started playing on my second character and I find the special carbine helping me out a lot in gunfights. Great idea by R*. (for not level locking it)

[ExtremeTorque]

If the Bullup Rifle cant beat the other Assault Rifles, I dont mind noobs have it.

If it turns out to be the best Assault Rifle which I dont believe is the case then have it unlocked at a high level 80-110 levels.

[Q_Man]

Made all my characters over just to rape ppl like that. When I'm a high level you bitches want no problems but as soon as I bust out a low level the whole lobby wants to fight lol. The scent of pussy in GTA online is strong

[snake83]

It depends how powerful it is. If its like the special carbine, a shadow of the proper thing then i have no problem with it being available to all. If it is the most powerful and accurate then i would rather its locked simply because that kind of gun you should have to earn, thats the whole point of locking weapons in the first place.

 

I dont mind low levels having a good weapon. I loved the special carbine when it first came out and i had no decent guns.
