Bow and arrows, Throwing Knives, Spears, Spiked-Clubs

[SoggyVictim]

How would you feel about these weapons being added in along with some weapon buffing and nerfing (such as the heavy sniper and marksman respectively)? I think adding these weapons would make dedicated-melee weapons more frequently used. Jobs and other activities could become more exciting with these weapons.

 

But, I feel like this would necessitate a sort of Gladiator update and should add handheld shields as-well. Rockstar could add in new adversary modes based on Gladiator matches in the Colosseums of Ancient Greece/Rome.

 

So, would you guys be for something like this, why or why not?

[Hybrid_Punk]

This isn't Skyrim, it's a modern crime simulator. Lol.

[Guest]

Mayble able to throw a knife be cool...idk about the others lol all that needs doing to the marksman/heavy sniper is reverting it back to stationary movement...no shuffling, not realistic in the slightest

[bloatedsack]

We need all of those things and a poop covered stick. Like you know, a stick with a piece of poop on it.

 

Actually, we need none of those things. But, I'd take the stick. Not your ideas, though, they're just bad.

I'm assuming you got these ideas from the Battlefield 1 trailer lol.

[JON22]

I've been playing the sh*t out of State of Decay and some Dying Light on the side. Plenty of those things (except the bow inless you get Dying Light DLC) in one or both games. Also Dead Island (which I'll be getting....again when the remastered version comes out).

 

Play those for stuff like that. They'll be pointless with GTA 5's sh*tty melee mechanics.

Nah man, just a random idea. But, that trailer is quite captivating and may become the first battlefield game I buy.

[LL Cool L]

shield? gladiator? colosseum? lool

[Quinn_flower]

i mean a arrow would be fine. like make a v-day weapon with a v day skin to it.

[fakebasedjo]

Shields and gladiators? In GTA? Hell no

 

Honestly melee weapons are just clutter and almost all the same IMO. Like the Antique Cavalry Dagger and Hammer. Rockstar should stick to guns with their updates.

[Hybrid_Punk]

I could settle with a crossbow. That's actually realistic and would be kinda cool.

Hell yeah! Surprised it's not there already.

[CaptSpalding]

Let's have some Anthrax, Smallpox, and Botulinim Toxin , yes let's go the whole way with Neutron bombs and Napalm, f*ck stealing cars we should be able to wipe out the entire lobby with one little glass vial.

[concolt]

I'd love a bow or crossbow.

[Voit Turyv]

Grand Theft Horse.

[VinnyIrish]

Just give me a machete & a flamethrower.

[CrysisAverted]

But first we need a flamethrower and a chainsaw

[Nacho Z]

I've always thought a bow would be a very satisfying weapon to use in GTA and they already exist in the modern world so it's not like it's crazy talk.

 

They could add hunting missions with it, I realise by now that animals aren't going to be added to free roam but my understanding is that if a mission was launched it would be different and Rockstar could chuck in a few bears.

 

It'd be something genuinely new and that's what I'm looking for at this stage.

and they could use part of the marksman pistol animation to do it!

 

assuming its a pistol crossbow.

 

and on the subject of some of you saying "modern crime simulator"

 

muskets.

 

non modernized thompsons.

 

a 45-70 thor with a classic design (marksman pistol)

 

dont sit there and tell me we arent allowed to have strange weapons.

 

and on the subject of strange weapons. i want a slingshot.

 

...so there.

Bow would be, especially if there would be some ragdoll effect when you get hit by an arrow. Oh and also give us the option for explosive arrows

[Furry_Monkey]

A bow would be pretty cool, but the rest of what you've suggested just sounds completely out of place for GTAO.

 

Sounds like you might be getting excited for Battlefield 1 and RDR2, and there is nothing wrong with that.

[DangerZ0neX]

This is GTA V, not Chivalry: Medieval Warfare.

[FlacidJack]

If they added a bow it might open the door to other ammo types like fiery, explosive or poisonous. I'm not sure if that would lead to good or bad things for GTAO though.

[DarkSavageDeathlyCloud]

Honestly a modern bullet proof shield woud be fun...same for a trowing knife

[20451ecneps]

If they were to add a bow, I bet that would be included with another 'Adversary Mode' update. Oh, I can see it now...

 

"Runners vs Archers"

"Bows vs Rhinos"

"Beasts vs Archers"

etc.

 

On an unrelated note, who in the actual hell thought that "Rhino Hunt" would be a good idea?!

Imagine taking down a jet with a bow lol.

[Feurian42]

If be happy with different ammo types for the grenade launcher. A laser guided bombing system wood be nice, instead of the Merryweather flair. Maybe add +P ammo, for as little extra punch. Flash bang grenades and defensive weapon add-ons for cars. Like dropping caltrops, oil slicks, etc....

[TheLordMarvel]

I'll take Archery + throwing knives for sure. Two weapons I've been wanting in this game for awhile now. - Throwing knives are my go-to weapons on Assassin's Creed: Syndicate and Red Dead Redemption.

 

 

 

If they do add archery one day, I hope they'll add a crossbow too. Ya know, cause of reasons.... A Stryker Strykezone 380 will do just fine.

If you wanna go play with pointy sticks and clubs, go play FarCry Primal, it has all the caveman experiences you so crave. As for that sh*t in GTA? Lol, no. maybe a crossbow, for when you wanna do a mission (or Heist set up) silently and stealthily, or if you wanna just f*ck around in free roam, but prehistoric melee weapons? Seldom do you have the opportunity to use any of the 14+ melee weapons in a real fight, why would we need more?
