Would workable elevators make sense in GTA Online?

[Einsteinbomb]

Getting to the top of Los Santos skyscraper is currently only possible with an aircraft, so with the introduction of elevators we would be able to get access to the roof in order to find a sniper's nest or for the great view.

Why not?

[Headdogg81]

Dont see any reason why we cant have a few scattered around the city. I personally would still like some only accessible via chopper however so I can use them as bounty hole up spots among other things.

[DarkSavageDeathlyCloud]

Maybe...but to get to rooftops of goverment buildings....hmmm...

It would make bounty hunting more interesting depending on if you're playing defense or offense. More often than not bounties on top of buildings are ignored by the majority of players, so I can see how this might be annoying.

[LordZekrom]

Yes. The only thing is that It might encourage rooftop snipers due to easier access. Other than that it's a great idea. I don't see why R* made some of these elevators only temporarily functional, doesn't make any sense.

They should add operable elevators utility machinery and add the restaraunts and gyms in next gen

Elevator camping. Sticky inside elevator wait for target.

The elevator function could be a cutscene to avoid this very issue; this works well when entering ones garage or home.

[Butterfly57]

It would make lots of sense and surely it would be possible.

 

There are parachutes on top of a few buildings after all. Currently they are a bit pointless (unless you happened to be parachuting and landed on one of them). You need to get to them by helicopter and by this point you'd have a chute anyway. So having an elevator in buildings with chutes on top would be good.

I miss being able to enter buildings in Los Santos like in San Andreas. Even getting up the Maze Bank was as easy as stepping into the front door

[Dannnisaur]

There are already functioning elevators in the high-end player homes that are used to get from the garage to the apartment and vice versa, so I don't see why not.

[Angerbox]

We have working elevators in out apartments.

BF4 memories.. that was fun.

no, cutscenes suck and have no place in multiplayer games. you should always be in control of your character, as soon as the cutscene ends, youre vulnerable and easy to kill every time. its sh*tty

This. Kind of. You're basically asking to be teleported from one place to another. It's a nice idea, but why can't we apply this to other aspects? Like, why can't I take a taxi and skip the trip without doing anything but teleporting? It's not a cheap tactic, as the taxi usually takes a while to get around, and your blip would show up before you reach at your location (as the taxi rarely stops at your exact location anyway) So you couldn't sneak up on somebody. I think it could work.

in multiplayer time affects everyone and you cant warp the space time continuum without causing serious disturbances to the shwartz.

yea they did this in gay tony so why not here

[Dumb guy]

I cant wait for the bitch and moan about getting stuck in elevators. And the lame muzak.

I say no.

this plus more helipads on top of buildings. yes.

[Eamonn3]

You forgot to add in something that would give free roam more spice. We could use whole Hotels for fighting in with your idea. 1 gang starts at top of building and goes through on a killing rampage. Then other gang goes in from street level to stop the ones in the building. Deathmatch type of game inside a hotel complete with working elevators

[Heists]

I approve of this idea. But before this I want my drive through burger shot and cluck'in bell.

I always wished they would allow this, have entire buildings, didnt even need to be really varied, just cut and paste interiors, but allow us to run between floors and into rooms and use them for shootouts and all sorts of stuff, would really add some awesome scenarios. Got someone holed up in a building and having to go thru and find them while they try to avoid you and escape, would be great

[NubcakeVII]

They should be added to next gen.

 

I don't see why not.

[E•MO•TION]

They should add wheelchairs and scooters as well. Not only would they make elevators a tad more useful, I want to pimp one out.

[DeezyGaming]

If R* adds more buildings and places we can access via clubs, shops and downtown buildings. Yeah I'm all for it.

Is sorta true but sometimes it saves you.

I remember Someone detonate the building while I was in the elevator and I got stuck and died.
