Rail Gun

[Einsteinbomb]

Does anyone think introducing the rail gun might be overkill once it gets into everyone's hands online? Check out all the new features of the GTA V remastered version here: http://www.rockstargames.com/newswire/article/52337/details-on-exclusive-content-for-returning-gtav-players-on.

I don't even know if it will be available Online, seemed like it was for Story mode.

I wish they would add a stinger. But maybe limit the rockets to only shoot at armed aircraft or red dot players...Of course Im saying this now because I was in public sessions last week constantly getting bothered by jets.. and some of them were pretty good pilots.

It doesn't specify it's story mode exclusive but it could very well be coming to GTA Online? I think this rail gun would either have to be extremely expensive or should be attained online by some rare feat. just to prevent everyone and their mother from having this weapon.

1. Is that photo in the OP even real?

 

2. We have weapons that destroy things and kill with one shot. Not sure why we need another weapon like that.

Yes.

[LightningLord]

Oh boy, it'll be Battlefield 4 all over again.

[Shaundi.]

I hope this will destroy tanks in one hit. With extreme speed, its projectile will destroy anything in its path. In this game, instant explosion.

 

This weapon is silly but it may come in handy

Where are my sharks with frickin' lasers?

It's not hard for R* to remove it from online .

When you switch to GTA Online then you will load freemode script .

They can add checks to freemode script to make sure you don't use rail gun online .

True, but we don't know what their intention might be about this rail gun.

Screenshot looks beautiful. No way it will look THAT good though

[8up local]

dang i thought this was going to be about real rail guns.

 

[Shaundi.]

Also hope it's level locked. I can already see this being used all the time

[LordVukodlak]

I imagine the Rail Gun will work something like the explosive rifle in RDR, long range, maximum damage but no auto-aim on any mode.

No auto-aim would be nice.

[TeammateHelper]

Probably not available online. If you remember, a certain weapon isn't supposed to be online either.

[ParkTyG]

Overkill?? This is GTA fool! Everything is supposed to be over the top!!

[Shane_Dbns]

Wasn't there a leak relating to the railgun?

[garyfromscotland]

Sorry, but it has nothing on this; the original rail gun.

 

Kudos to anyone who knows what game this is from.

Red Faction II - one of my favourite shooters for a long, long time. Not often you find a shooter that will let you play deathmatch games with bots.

 

And I won't post it again as I just posted it elsewhere, but it's been around a lot longer than that

Kudos to you +1

 

This game(along with Golden eye) started my multilayer experience.

 

I remember sweating over who had a tab so we could plug four controllers onto - and you all shared the same screen?!

Remember, railguns need to charge before firing a shot. That charging time will leave anybody exposed.. Then there's reloading. In most games, you have to reload after every shot; I've never seen a railgun with a magazine (Gauss Rifle in Fallout is a coilgun.. Completely different concept and design).

 

A weapon of this power should only have 20 bullets max.. Real railguns, even though they're still in testing, have the power to rip anything apart in one shot.

 

If you guys want this gun to be another heavy sniper, it'd be a strong insult to the weapon's true power.

Yeah we used to get together for 4 player Goldeneye sessions that would literally go straight through the night. That was an awesome game.

[Soran Is On]

hip firing the heavy sniper is basically a rail gun. I see no issues with it. Will use, will probably enjoy.

I doubt it would be super OP if it's allowed in MP, otherwise it will be like the tazer and used by not fun hackers.

 

So yeah: warmup, cooldown, long reload, and slow walking speed as stated in the post above

Have you played Golden Eye recently (N64)? It literally ruined fond memories - don't do it

I've not, but I imagine it would be horrible now. I'm a bit of a snob anyway. I don't play old games that often.

We have yet to see what and how much damage it does (or how much ammo costs!), but it's obviously a very serious gun in the game. Here's hoping that R* is abiding by the principle that Valve does with every weapon in TF2: each has an advantage and a weakness.

Re: Stingers. Would *love* to see this or some kind of anti-aircraft weapon in GTA V (much needed for those aircraft griefers), but it's a delicate double-edged sword that could make flying just not worth it for fear of getting shot down at a moment's notice. DICE did a fair job in BF3 with that, but IMO gave the clear advantage to aircraft simply being out of range or ducking behind cover, forcing you to try and lock-on to them.

What I would prefer to see (instead of high-end guns) is putting an end to the endless spawning of cops/NOOSE (gets really old); instead, add some more creative options for losing them with a bit of work. The "I-can-see-you-going-into-that-tunnel-but-can't-follow-you-there-because-I'm-a-script" crap gets old.
