Changed my loadout...

[blackindia]

I got so tired of clutter and scrolling that I took a rather drastic change today. Throw away most of my guns and tried only keeping one per slot. Not the best but the ones most likely to get picked up again.

 

This is all that is left...

 

Pistol

Micro-SMG

Carbine rifle

Heavy sniper

Knife

Pump shotgun

RPG / Homing / Minigun

Grenades / Stickys / Proximity mines

 

Will surely miss the AP, the Marksmen rifle and the Assault shotgun so I might add them back later on. But right now its real cool to have so many slot with just the one gun.

I try to keep my wheel 'light'.

 

Dropped half a dozen weapons yesterday because there was just no need for them.

 

Do you find the Pump Shotgun more effective than the Heavy? I like the Heavy beacause of the power, but I keep getting pummeled by players using the Pump, not sure why.

Mostly just used Assault shotgun before. That is most likely more effective for me since it shoots faster and I miss alot.

 

Pump shotguns are cool though and it gets picked up alot aswell (from a copcar for example). Not sure which has the higher damage per shot.

 

Or maybe you mean the Sawed-Off? Many players use this, especially bikers. I think that has highest damage off them all. I been killed alot with this.

Wish I could do that on PC but they coming back when switching sessions.

[aaronBLUEeyes]

It would be nice to lock or prevent picking up unwanted weapons.

[rodrich266]

Nice that we get a choice of what to carry and what not, unlike previous games where you could only have one of each type. I'm a gun nut and love having the weapon wheel full and updated as well as my ammo, so I don't know that feeling though!

[PatG]

Mine's pretty much;

 

Pistol & AP Pistol

Combat MG

Special Carbine & Bullpup Rifle (cause it's the only gun that I put a silencer on incase I need it)

Heavy Sniper & Marksman Rifle

Assault Shotgun & Musket

Pretty much all the special weapons

Grenade, Stickies & Proxy Mines

 

Wish stuff like the Fireworks Launcher and Musket could be dropped as they just take up unnecessary space for me.

[livejoker]

I used to do the same thing but the second I run over a few enemies I pick up half of the U.S armory so I just don't bother anymore.

I understand why people get frustrated with not being able to drop certain weapons and dont want to be bothered with setting up their weapon wheel every new time they log on. I'm with you though I'm what you could call a gun nut as well and I own just about all of them except the assault smg and the first light machine gun whatever it's called. I get annoyed that my preferences don't save because I think they should but at this point I'm so used to getting out of my car when I first drive out of my garage to set up my weapon wheel the way I like that I'd probably still do it out of habit even if our preferences saved.

 

I really like the gun locker idea that gets talked about on here from time to time and think it would be a great addition to the game because I like owning all the guns I want to own but don't like the hassle of setting up my weapon wheel. I'm probably in the minority when it comes to weapons in this game because I regularly use just about all the ones I own even if they are not the best in each class.

If only I could drop the gusenberg sweeper

[CarimboHanky]

back in october i dropped all excess weapons...

 

apart from the undroppables, i keep

ap

combat mg

bullpup rifle

heavy sniper/masksman rifle

autoshutgun

keep all the heavy equipment

 

just a few weeks later i had picked up weapons from missions, lts and stuff like that, so again i have like 6 handguns, 3 sub machine guns, 4 assault rifles and 3 shutguns.

 

they should really allow us to lock the weapons wheel from picking up weapons..

[LL Cool L]

OP is doomed lool

 

edit

what I do is: When I load up the game or join a new lobby, I get rid of the pistol, then choose my fave weapons in each category....

 

 

some weapons you cannot get rid of, there are not enough requests for this feature

So you can drop permantly guns on consoles but not on pc

 

Btw why did you make a topic about this?

 

I sold a car last week cause i didnt used it anymore, should i make a topic too?

Not all guns can be dropped, but most yes. On PC there is another issue it seems where nothing can be dropped though. Or it comes back next session.

 

I made a topic since last week there been many discussions regarding the issues with dropping or picking up guns and the weapon wheel itself. Not everyone cares or think its an issue at all. However many do, including myself. I tried alot of different ways. From owning all to just a few of the best. This is just my latest approach and its a kinda different one so I thought I share and maybe inspire someone else.

 

Since you need ask, maybe you should?

Actually there been topics about players selling a car or downsizing their garages. Something I did aswell. I own around 15 vehicles now and like it more then having 50. More is not always better and its fun to discuss how other think.

[Hylskriksen]

Shouldve had weapon cabinets in the apartments where we could store guns we dont use frequently.

Edited April 10, 2016 by Hylskriksen

[Eggobites90]

At the very least we should be able to limit the weapons that are in our cycle while in a vehicle.

 

In addition to that, we should be able to choose which weapons lead each weapon category (without having to reset them).

Ok...cool...great contribution brah. /Sarcasm

 

OT. I like to keep my arsenal loaded. Especially after I realised saving the weapons you want in each slot in sp carrys over to mp, sure I don't use most of em, but to have and not need is better than reversed

The thread is a simple statement.

[Pedinhuh]

So...You changed your inventory, that's alright, I changed mine a year ago and never changed it ever since.

 

Maybe you wanted to ask us what's our loadout? If that's case, there must be a thread for this already.

 

Anyway, I don't see the point of owning a SMG or any of the machine guns, so I keep that slot empty, The AP pistol and the Special Carbine fills gap left by the machine guns.

 

I keep the standard pistol because I can't get rid of it, So I just put a compressor on it with a flashlight to make it look cool and professional.

 

I use my AP Pistol with army tint for close ranges were the target is not too close and I need to use rapid fire, small recoil, great rate of fire and accuracy and sounds badass without the compressor.

 

Special Carbine with platinum tint, fully loaded as my mid-range, long range weapon were rapid rate of fire is needed, great weapon overall and I don't see the need to get another assault rifle, carbine or machine gun, I bought soon as I had the money for it when I started playing this.

 

Assault shotgun fully loaded minus compressor with army tint for very close range, quite OP but gets the job done, I thought about switching to the pump shotgun or the heavy shotgun, but the rate of fire of this thing combined with it's power makes this a dumb decision, I'm getting the TLAD's Sawn-Off shotgun when I upgrade for drive-bys.

 

Musket with platinun tint for sh*ts and giggles.

 

Heavy Sniper with better scope and orange tint, Marksmen Rifle is cancer the standard Sniper Rifle is too weak.

 

RPG for Pac-Stan and Fleeca heists glitch, I don't even keep it with ammo.

 

Grenade Launcher fully loaded with army tint to take down land vehicles, projectile speed and rate of fire is faster than the RPG and Homing Rocket Launcher, which is what I need for fast moving land vehicles.

 

Homing rocket launcher for aerial vehicles, I don't waste it with jets though.

 

Sticky bombs as my main explosives, grenades when I run out of stickes, proxy mines for traps/trolling, smoke grenades for when I do missions alone and I need some kind of cover while remaining defenseless(hacking, pick locking).

Yes I throw away some guns. Did that long time ago aswell but I never heard anyone do it based on what I did this time.

 

I picked pistol since its there if I want or not.

I picked Micro-SMG since I need a gun for that slot and need something to replace AP while in car.

I choose Carbine rifle since its a good gun and the most likely to get picked up along with Assault rifle.

Heavy sniper because its good and I really need that over Marksmen or regular sniper.

Knife as a melee

Pump shotgun since it gets picked up whenever I use copcar.

I kept most heavy weapons though but ditched Grenade launcher since I rarely use that.

Kept several throwables except tear gas.

 

Many guns are still likely to get picked up though like Assault rifle, Combat pistol, SMG, Regular sniper. This makes me think I problaby not keep this setting for very long. I might go back to own everything again

 

I just wish Rockstar would fix the buggy weapon wheel instead and make a button prompt for pickups like most other games have.
