Weapon locker not always working

[blusunone]

I've noticed that at various times one the weapons I've selected to stay hidden will become accessible in my weapon wheel. When this happens, all my other weapons will then become accessible too, as if i never got a weapon locker.

 

Does anyone know what causes this glitch, or if there is a way to fix or avoid it?

Noticed that the regular pistol won't go away. Did you check to see if ur custom weapon wheel is disabled or enabled in your interaction menu?

You can't get rid of that weapon, sorry.

You're picking up dead NPC/Cop weapons. It happens to me and pisses me off. The weapons are still really there in your inventory just hidden, and when you pick up another weapon it removes all the skins/upgrades off so you have to reattach them.

This is a seriously annoying bug. I was so glad to finally be rid of that micro smg and yet it keeps popping up in my wheel. I like pulling out a gun in a vehicle and have it be the AP pistol every time, dumb little micro interferes constantly.

Exactly. And the fact you don't have to swap through 10 different pistols is nice too.

 

I only kept AP and Flare Gun as my actual on hand pistols. Flare Gun is just for fun

 

I just gave up and let that piece of sh*t gun stay in my inventory. It's just going to come back next time I have to murder my way through cops.

Pretty sure this is a separate bug since all of my weapons become available when it happens, not just the ones i pick up. Actually it seems that anytime i do missions at all my weapons are all in my weapon wheel, like the gun locker has no effect when doing missions. I definitely noticed the picking up npc weapons glitch too though, and both bugs are very frustrating. Especially when you consider rockstar's track record, we can be almost certain they will never fix these bugs, and will probably not even try. Might as well have never even bought a weapon locker.

Yea there seem to be some issues with it. Not sure if it's supposed to function like this but the default pistol never disappears nor does it have the option to show/hide in the gun safe at all. It also appears to not effect Heists.

This weapon locker is the biggest waste of money in this game.

Another bullsh*t bug or oversight. The weapon locker only affects freeroam. Missions, heists, even custom races, it's useless and frustrating as all hell.

 

At least the freeroam bit has a semi-fix. Each time you return to your office, interact with your weapon locker and it resets to you preferred default.

You can hide regular pistol but you have to buy it from Ammunation first. You can only hide guns you have purchased. Throw it out then go buy it and it will show up in gun locker.

 

Rockstar really should add a button prompt or something instead of auto pickup of all guns.

 

Also custom wheel wont work in mission (and not heist aswell i think).

[ChaosZake]

Funny (really not though) how R* got rid of the working drop-weapons-that-you-don't-want-system and implemented this kind of working weapon system that you have to pay for.

[ADropInTheOcean]

Sooo... After years of asking for the ability to organize your weapons inventory, Rockstar gives it to us.

 

Behind a ridiculous 500k$ paywall for such a rudimentar feature.

 

And it doesn't even work properly.

 

Bravo, Rockstar.

Awesome, I really couldn't figure out why my mate couldn't hide it but I could.

 

That explains the random ("rare") melee weapons you can't hide too.

cant u just press disable custom loadout and then enable it again from the inventory menu

Wrong. The safe is.

Kind of bull you can't hide the three melee weapons you can only "pick up" and not buy

 

I was going to store melee weapons and keep the ones I find fun like the Hatchet and Bat on hand but noticed you couldn't store the crowbar or golf club so I just kept all melee weapons as shown for now.

 

Heck, you can hide molotovs. And you can't purchase them.......

 

I think it's finally time they add the three melee weapons to the store.

actually you can "hide it" with the gun locker.

 

i hid mine when i first got the locker but later decided i should have the gun given the fact the animation of the easy way out with the gun is much faster than the poison pill one.

last time i checked i could still drop unwanted weapons.

[Mach1bud]

Idk mine is working fine.

We can, but it's not permanent. Switching sessions gives back the dropped weapons.

Problem with the gun method of "Easy Way Out", though, is it won't work if you have attachments on the gun. Yes, you can remove them, but they reapply themselves next time you get on.

[nWo_Y2J_2015]

I KNEW IT! I knew there'd be a thread about this some time. I've been afraid to use the gun safe because I knew some bull crap like this would happen. I like having all of my weapons with me anyway and risking losing them or they're attachments wasn't worth trying it.

 

Still fun to open the two safes though. It'd be awesome if one of those wall spots lead to a hidden room with maybe a pool table and other stuff where you and you're friends could play.

it only works for freeroam, not a bug, just the way Rockstar set it up.

Enabling my loadout before entering missions and heists seems to keep me with only said weapons in the loadout. Works just fine for me.

It's a really buggy system, and whenever I disable my loadout, all my weapons are reverted to stock.

i know what you said is real as i have read a lot of complains about that, maybe a really old bug that affect some people.

Hmm, doesn't seem to work for me on PC, it keeps on coming back. I'll try removing the attachments and see if that odd solution works.

[Toxic_Paradox]

Maybe your not trying hard enough

[BigStickMama]

Story Mode effects the online weapon wheel.

 

If you set your weapon wheel defaults in story mode and create a new save, then go to online; that will be the online default until you change it in story mode. With exceptions for some online missions/heists/etc.. sometimes set it to the 1/X defaults.

 

I would imagine taking all the attachments off the default pistol, dropping it (you can actually drop on PC, it will just reappear) and purchasing it again @ Ammunation. Then setting your custom loadout @ weapon locker. If it bugs, someone already said it; just toggle the use custom load out on/off.

 

If there's weapons you're picking up off the ground, you might have to enable them, drop them, and purchase them from Ammunation.

It very well could be. I bought all of the available attachments. I just wish they'd fix it. I might look and see if they'll stay off now, but I'm not holding my breath. lol
