Should Rockstar put back the Fire Extinguisher?

[Annuit Coeptis]

Why not the jet pack man, why the fire extinguisher :-(

[Arachne]

Just when you thought the flare gun was the most useless thing in the universe...

It has all it's code in the game's files. And with the help of mods, it could be obtained and used as a fully functioning 'weapon'. It can even extinguish fires. So, sooner or later, they have to add that fire extinguisher back into the game It is literally the only fully functioning weapon cut from the game. So should they add it back?. Into both SP and MP of course.

 

Can it really extinguish fires? I once got one from a hacker, set a car on fire, and it didn't put it out.

This is literally the most pointless tool in the game, you're better off using the tennis ball smh

[Shaundi]

Sure, i'd be cool as a pick up from Fire Department's and Fire Trucks.

 

But definitely not an item you would have to purchase and refill.

Fire Extinguisher can also be used as a melee weapon.

Or put annoying snow texture on PVs.

Or putting smoke screens in fight and movies.

Or as a movie prop.

Or as a throwing projectile.

Or as a jetpack suppository.

Or as a shark deterrent.

Or as a harmless weapon.

 

Hell, there are so much uses for a fire extinguisher!

Just saw someone using one, spewing black smog, on the casino cashier.

A ghostly plastic bag kept popping up, most of the time inside the cashier booth but once in a while falling at the players feet.

Can you actually rob the casino that way ?

I don't know, did you check the forums to see if anyone ever in the history of GTA online has robbed the casino with a fire extinguisher before you necroed a dead thread?

[Bragolatch]

My search led me here, what is wrong with reviving a dead tread if it is relevant ?

If you are not interested in the subject anymore just turn off your notifications for it and keep your negativity for yourself.

This forum is here for those who like to exchange.

Because the reason threads are dead is because their topic of discussion have expired and questions that you have have been relegated to specific Q/A threads or have already been answered and discussed in other, more active threads.

[éX-Driver]

this is all I can see whenever a thread gets necro’d

[Rotorhead359]

it would be so much easier if inactive threads got locked automatically, why doesn't that happen here if I may ask?

If it was still relevant, it wouldn't have gone inactive?

@AirWolf359 I suggested your idea to the Suggestions forum.

Because 2015 is old and I get annoyed. Plus it's a rule not to necro dead threads.

 

 

[Bragolatch]

i thought this was a helpful forum, not a wining pit.

 

The rules also say not to start a new tread if one already exist on the subject and if any of you had bothered to check you'd see that this is the only remotely relevant one.

 

None of your answer actually add to the conversation, If you have nothing useful to say you might as well remain silent.

 

At lest one good thing came out of this, the tread is now active lol

Actually, when people say use the search feature, it means search your issue and read the replies for your answer. It does not mean bump a thread that's been inactive for 5 years.

 

In most cases, threads do have time limits and bumping a thread that's been inactive for too long just spams up the forum. At this point, it's better to start a new thread than bump a dead one to discuss the issue or topic of interest, even if the issue in the dead thread would still be relevant today.

Thanks for that,

I do not use forums much, mostly because of the kind of attitude displayed above. 

Your reply is helpful and appreciated.

 

If that is the way they want it then @AirWolf359 is right

FTFY

 

On topic: I wouldn't mind having the Fire Extinguisher available, it would be useful for that Simeom Repo mission (can't remember the name) and that Doomsday Heist Setup mission with the RCV (can't remember the name of that one either) at the very least.

I actually saw one in game, might have been a mod.

There's a general chat topic and a whole casino forum section for this stuff.
