Mr. Someguy Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Simple question, has anyone found a way to get rid of weapons that doesn't involve third party modifications to the game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnreasonableExpectations Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 (edited) In MP, you can drop weapons and ammo easily. Hold the weapon wheel open, highlight the weapon you want to drop and a message should appear in the upper left corner telling which buttons to press to either drop the weapon or drop a box of ammo oif that weapon type. On console it would be triangle/Y to drop the highlighted weapon and circle/B to drop the ammo. I'm not sure what the buttons are on PC but again, it should tell you in the upper left corner. It's going to be more time consuming in SP, though. You have to get a one-star wanted level (preferably just fist fight someone or vandalize someone's car so the cops don't come in guns blazing) then pull out the weapon you want to drop and wait for the cops to arrive, but don't aim or fire the weapon, just stand there holding it, They should approach and arrest you, the gun will fall to the ground and you'll get the "BUSTED" message. Unfortunately you lose all of your ammo and will be charged $5000 bail but this is currently the only method in singleplayer.

I'm aware of this, but it's only temporary. I was hoping for a permanent solution, actually. But thanks anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only weapon that I know of that's impossible to get rid of is the Pistol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProfessionalN00b Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Out of curiosity, if I drop a weapon in MP and later decide I wanted that weapon after all would I have to purchase it from Ammunation all over again or would it be free like most weapon mods after you've bought them at least once?

If I'm not mistaken, you would have to pay for the weapon again but you won't have to re-purchase the mods bought prior to dropping said weapon.

Sounds odd. Every time I've tried dropping a purchased weapon, it has appeared right back in my inventory next time I loaded a session. I've tried dropping in Freeroam as well as in Missions, but they keep reappearing. Edited May 12, 2015 by Mr. Someguy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it possible you're picking the weapon back up from dead enemies during missions? I'm almost positive I've dropped DLC weapons like the bottle and vintage pistol and they stayed out of my inventory permanently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm almost positive I've dropped DLC weapons like the bottle and vintage pistol and they stayed out of my inventory permanently. Vintage Pistol (because it's an extra thing to scroll through in vehicle) and Uzi (AP Pistol has replaced it, plus I need less stuff in my MG slot). I drop them, and they stay out as long as I play the session. But the next time I start the game, they're back again. I think I'll just have to dump them at the beginning of every session and deal with it. It's silly that Rockstar doesn't have a way for you to permanently drop unwanted weapons. Strangely, a gas can I dropped and shot wasn't returned to my inventory, while the other items were. Seems if the item is physically destroyed, it won't come back? I'll have to test that by having them "destroyed" by being picked up as ammo by other people, or dropping them in ocean.
