But in my weapon stats, the rail gun doesn't even show up. Can't findany of the exclusive content in the game. Even had to pay for garages, that was free last time.

lol I can't buy the garages, they just aren't there for me at this point.

All my CE weapons are locked, blimp is not there but stunt plane is at Trevors airfield.

Furthermore my trophies for Online have only half unlocked... So its bizarre.

 

I believe its a Social Club issue that will be resolved in time.

I think everything seems to be fine with the social club. The garages become available at a certain point in the game. I beleive it's after you complete the missions where Franklin helps Michael rescue Jimmy from the stolen boat. I'm not sure how to unlock the weapons. I think they're either unlocked at certain points of the story, or you unlock them by completing shooting range challenges. Either way I'm pretty sure you have to purchase them from Ammu-Nation.

Nope. I bought the CE and after that mission the garage costs 30.000$

if you purchased the Special Edition or the Collector’s Edition last year, when you upgrade to one of the new systems, you will automatically have those items unlocked and accessible.

Those in-game bonuses include the Stunt Plane Trials, Bonus Outfits and Tattoos, and the Pistol .50, Bullpup Shotgun and melee Hammer all for Story Mode use; as well as the Custom Classic GTA Parent Characters and the high-end Khamelion electric car for GTA Online.

 

Furthermore, if you missed out on your chance to buy a CE or SE the last time around, we will also make all of that content available for all players on PS4, Xbox One and PC to earn and acquire with in-game cash (original SE and CE owners will not have to spend any in-game cash to obtain them; they will automatically be accessible upon upgrade).

 

So according to Rockstar, all our CE items should automatically be UNLOCKED.

 

So yeah, some weird bug me thinks..

 

I'll give it time.. yeah, time heals all wounds.

It should be free. It was there way of justifying giving the content to everyone. It was free to buy on last gen aswell.

Seems the issue is resolved, for me at least.

 

Just logged on and got a message about being a returning player, went online to check to see if the Dodo was available to buy and it was!

 

Half a mill well spent.

Okay i may have found the problem still dont know a fix but it says to be a returning player u must have a save of the prologue in xbox 360 is ps3 but i sold my 360 so i no longer have the save i have completed the game twice on 360 and i hope rockstar can figure that out because i am a returning player and thats a bad way of keeping track of that i am sure there will be stull on social club somewhere they can find out.

I hope they're working on a fix. Or at least explain better how this is all supposed to work.

 

I bought the PS3 SE version which came with freebies that are no longer free. For example the hammer was free on SE but now costs me $500 at Ammu-nation. I realize that certain items will be locked until they are opened up in the story (like the shotgun with the flashlight you have to stop and buy during that mission with Lamar and Stretch).

 

Help us out Rockstar.

Still can't purchase my CE weapons on SP. Yes, I have a save on my PS3, yes my PSN ID is linked to the Social Club. The garage, vehicles, and weapons should all be free, and on my PS3 I was able to purchase the weapons for free right after the first mission Franklin and Lamar. This sucks, it's got me irked.

Here is the link to what is included with the previous SE and CE games: http://www.rockstargames.com/newswire/article/50061/Announcing-the-Grand-Theft-Auto-V-Special-Edition-and

 

So I can see why there is confusion around the garages being unlocked. As for me I seem to have everything online okay (cars working and I think the guns are, well some of them are). Single player, well I've not unlolced Trevor yet so I'll wait till then.

This would match to my problem.

And I can confirm, that I hadnt have a singleplaysr savegame on the last console I played. (xbox 360)

 

someone has a solution?

I have all the vehicles and guns free at Ammu-Nation online but in story I still need to unlock them I think. I have CE on LG. Strange.

Why is the Rail Gun and Hatchet locked at Ammunation?

You need to beat the mission "Mr. Philips" to unlock the Hatchet and "Minor Turbulence" for the Railgun.

No other way. You need a singleplayer save.

I bouth CE on LG and it's free for me. Did you use a DNS Hack for it? Cause that might be why. Edited by Cakelover21

Wouldn't that be on Social Club anyway? I had last generation GTA V on 360, which I don't have 360 anymore. I have PS4 and the returning player content is there for me. I have both my Gamertag and PSN linked to Social Club.

I had multiple saves of GTA 5 on my PS3 & had just started a 3rd play through when my machine broke. I noticed that the social club tracked my most recent save - which was the prologue mission (not all previous games that I played). I too am missing all the returning player perks as well as my special edition stuff.

 

They have a very poor way of tracking as I have owned the old gen game since day one.

Anyone have an issue where they can't access the exclusive returning player content?

 

Transferred my character over successfully but can't see how I'm suppose to access the Dodo Seaplane for example.

 

Also noticed my collectors edition content is not accessible (although the hammer is but it wasn't free as it should have been).

 

Any Ideas?

 

CE content is not free for non-CE-last-gen players, you got to buy them. R* nclearly said that they were making them available for returning players by purchasing them with in-game money. So, everything working as expected.

 

hyperar you are flat out wrong and here is the proof:

 

http://www.rockstargames.com/newswire/article/52337/details-on-exclusive-content-for-returning-gtav-players-on

 

It clearly says at the bottom of this article that those who purchased either the Collector's edition or Special edition will get that content in their PS4 or XBOX1 automatically, I purchased the Collectors edition and my content is missing but I was able to use Claude and Misty as my parents in the transfer process. I submitted a ticket to R* about this issue and I'm hoping they resolve it soon. I've also noticed that many of the people who purchased either the CE or SE of the game back on PS3 and XBOX360 are also having this issue. Also I never got the 500K in my online profile only the single player profile received it.

I turned off my ps4, played the prologue on my xbox360, saved and quit.

 

all content is avaiable now!

Are you saying that the CE weapons that were locked are now unlocked since doing that?

Someone had posted in a different thread that his CE content became available & free after going to social club & reauthenticating his PSN. Ive done that on SC, but cant get on my PS4 for a couple hours yet to confirm if it solves the issue.
