otisriedel Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 first, the DOD: with the heists update, the kuruma was added, which is essentially a DOD on crack. it is pretty much better in every way stats wise except for it's ramming and lower explosive resistance. the DOD has less shooting angles, cosmetic window armor (for the sides, not sure about the front, but the back is totally bulletproof), it's slower, overturns like a motherf*cker, and it's weight distribution is sub-par. now the railgun: this thing is just an RPG with a faster round and a blast radius the size of a yoga ball (this is not an exaggeration). it also is purely iron-sights, and is very expensive. based on when you get it in SP, it would also be a high RP rank weapon. agree or disagree?

oCrapaCreeper Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 (edited) You don't need iron sights to use the railgun. It's a rocket launcher with no travel time and much farther range, if someone has any decent mouse aim with that thing it would be instant kills everywhere. Balance aside it's most likely a design decision to make them SP only. I'd have no problem with the SP exclusive content going to MP if Rockstar would give SP some of the Online exclusive features first, like the Hydra.

Acekiller.45 Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Better yet why is the tazor not in online Shayd80 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Octane Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 (edited) Agree why isn't the taser (Stun Gun) online? Hmmmmm....maybe because, I don't know, Rockstar's fanbase will bitch and say "OMFG Y DID U PUT THIS OP GUN ONLINE I AM NEVER BUYING A sh*tTY GAME FROM U AGAIN PLZ REMOVE THIS!!!!!"

SynchronousSnake Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Better yet why is the tazor not in online I would imagine it has to do with the ability to keep friend or foe effectively stun locked,lying on the ground and unable to do anything until the user gets bored. anti-trolling protection really.. I'm right there with you though.. wanted this ever since ps3 days ChrisPerry2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oCrapaCreeper Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Better yet why is the tazor not in online There would be a legit balance problem with it, the stun gun forces you into ragdoll mode on the ground for the duration of the stun, and you could just keep the guy on the ground indefinitely if you keep firing and it doesn't run out of ammo because it recharges.

Scipizoa Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 tbh we'd need the rail gun to deal with the jets, now that rockstar went ahead and nerfed the tanks to high heaven, also the railgun isen't that op with its reload time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anotic Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 I also don't understand why the DOD isn't in online, would much rather drive that around than my Kuruma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

..GhosT Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Railgun meh. Can stay a sp exlusive, quite op and unrealistic. Duke o death should be rebalanced and unlocked to returning players for online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duke o death should be rebalanced and unlocked to returning players for online. The DOD should not be just for returning content. It should only unlock after the first Heist as well, so returning players could choose, DOD or Kuruma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We know, but the discussion is how to add it to online, where the armour is not so OP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhillBellic Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 The Railgun is overpowered perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
otisriedel Posted April 24, 2015 Author Share Posted April 24, 2015 (edited) if you guys read, you would have seen that i compared the railgun and the DOD to their closest counterparts and gave reasons as to why they are balanced/inferior. but to reiterate, the railgun has an extremely small blast radius, so using it against players is a waste of money, energy, and it makes you an easy target. the DOD is worse in every way when compared to the armored kuruma other than the fact that it has a superior ramming ability and 3 times the armor.
