Weapons - Storage, Favorites

[Runnin_Gag]

Now I know that this has been mentioned before, but seeing how Rockstar implemented a lot of things the community asked for (Customizable Apartments) including smaller features (remote controling cars) made me want to adress this one more time:

 

The weapon wheel in its current state is unnecessarily annoying to use.

You have to set your favorite weapons for quick access every time you play the game and if you happen to decide that you want to use a machine gun instead of a submachine gun youll have to cycle through a lot of weapons you basically never use.

 

This actually annoys me so much that I dont purchase lots of weapons. Because just another assault rifle means that i will have to cycle through even more weapons. This made me say "Oh for f%cks sake no" out loud when i accidentally purchased the bullpup rifle yesterday. This should not be a players reaction to buying another weapon.

 

Id even throw weapons i purchased away just to clean up my inventory but unfortunately they will always come back to you. Its like theyre haunting you.

 

Now what I'd love to see implemented:

 

1) A weapon storage. Somewhere, I dont care. If its too much work to implement it like a visible box in your appartment just add it to the interaction menu. You store weapons there (or set them to invisible) so they wont appear in your weapon wheel until you grab them again.

 

2) Favorite weapons. Set a favorite weapon for every "class" of weapons so it will always be the first weapon that is displayed (even when you start GTAO the next time).

 

What do you think? Is that something that would make you enjoy the game even more?

Id really love a gun storage system because "just dropping it" wont solve anything

Absolutely agree with this. It's even more true when in a vehicle and trying to cycle through a dozen plus weapons every time you want to change from a gun to a grenade.

Whoops, sorry if i were supposed to post in that topic. I just saw quite a few topics with feature requests/ideas in the past few days so I thought its okay to put this up for discussion in here.

I've said this idea for months, it's even more implementable now simply because you can store the weapons in the heist room where there is already a gun rack but it has no use as of now

very good Heavy. how clever you are.

 

imho this is always worthy of discussion. increasingly so, as the wheel gets fuller and fuller with every update. if our shared opinion is wrong an actual mod will let you know.

 

OT when R* announced customisable apts were coming i was hoping for an "Adam Jensen" style weapons locker or even the armoury section of the Heist Room to become useable, but alas...

 

even the simple ability to lock the wheel via the interaction menu or pause OPTIONS would make life in LS a lot easier. hell, even the ability to turn off auto pickups would mean dropped weapons would stay dropped.

i'd like that a great deal.

How about putting it in your cars trunk?

These ideas are perfect. Now we just need someone to start the petition on Social Club Support forum, put a link to it here, and all in favor should go and sign it.

Reading your ideas gave me another idea.

We could simply set some weapons as "Invisible" through the interaction menu, so if you want to use a different, inferior weapon for any reason (added difficulty?), you could simply go to your inventory and make it "Visible" again, without having to go back to your apartment and pick it up in a box.

How about:

 

Hold X/square for in-car weapon wheel

[BenStone]

I would be cool if you had a weapon desk or armory, something like in Mass Effect where you can choose which weapons to carry. It doesn't bother me all that much the way it is now but it would be nice to customize it.

I had an idea related to car trunks and weapons, ammunition etc. but I think i will open up another topic for that. Its less likely to be implemented anyway I guess.

Would be great if someone did that!
