This DLC isn't that bad

[Xadie]

I thought a lot of vehicles and the explosive sniper would be OP and overused but they're not actually.

 

I play on PC and everything can be countered, for most of the gunrunning vehicles you can lay a sticky trap and other methods to take them out that worked on Insurgents and Tanks.

 

You can still fly and use jets effectively against the gunrunning vehicles, heli's not so much. Explosive ammo players are easy to deal with if you use bst + armor if you get hit so you can ewo afterwards. While in a jet against explosive ammo players you have to nose dive and if you miss pray that they miss you as well but, at least its not a 1 shot to jet. If they hit you just ewo and get a new jet or fight them with the bst + armor strat till they quit.

 

With this update things are still pretty quiet online on PC, every lobby I join players are doing their own thing with maybe 1 person fighting someone as to which I like to join in and they still use regular sniper or the MK2 Sniper with extended mag.

 

Overall I am having a lot of fun with this update, what about you?

[Quinn_flower]

Nope clothing is trash. Which killed the update for me. Bunch of rehashes and reskins.

 

Flying bike is cool though

Yes I am. Sniping jets. Rocket bike.

Gun customization is very impressive.

[Sanches]

Uhhh, you can't survive a direct hit with explosive round with bst + armor.

Yes you can, I do all the time. What rank are you? I showcase that you can in my streams and recent youtube video against modders.

 

I can give you the link if you care to see.

I think it sucks for the most part.

 

A SAM Battery that doesn't lock on (lol), explosive sniper with no heli buffs (lol again), and so on and on. Horrible paywalls, etc. Banning legitimate players on PC.

 

A mess. A disaster.

[AsphaltTrench]

The Outfits look like we came from a Fashion Show.

But the Explosive Sniper Rifle and MOC being used offensively is rarely seen (well, to me anyway)

Only time I encountered them was when I was in a Crew Fight between some tryhards. Their reactions when I took em out of their jets was priceless, made them fight on the ground the whole time too

This update is like a delicious chocolate... except it wrapped up in a big ball of s**t you have to get through to enjoy any of it.

• The layer of s**t is comprised of the paywalls, research times, public session only requirements. Basically, all of the shark card-induced garbage R*/T2 added to waste your time and money before you can enjoy the good content.

 

... and then you get to the delicious center... and find out there's rocks placed in it that break your teeth when you try to just enjoy it.

• These would be things like APC SAM turrets that aren't able to lock on, AA trailers that are useless against most threatening aircraft, the Tampa exploding in one hit from anything, APC drivers not being able to use the turret, etc. Basically, all the flaws with the good content that prevent you from enjoying it as much.

 

... and then someone else is throwing more balls of s**t full of rocks at you because they think it's funny

• i.e. your aircraft randomly exploding from explosive sniper shots, a**hats in flying bikes ruining lobbies, etc. Basically, people using all this good stuff and bad stuff alike to make your experience worse right when you should be enjoying it. Banning people probably falls here too.

Content-wise, not my favourite DLC, but new toys keep the kids happy, and the missions/resupplies are fun to do, even though a few are from other areas/story mode, and good looking too as usual...

 

Overall, too man negatives over this DLC for me, solo public, more craziness, more re-do's with clothes and the biker setup, plus the stuff outside the game, mainly concerning PC players (for now) is off-putting too... And a lack of garage space, that time/paywall to unlock things, and insurance bills for fighting back against the Oppressor and such is just ridiculous too, but luckily I don't PvP... Or even play much now, thanks to this crap.

 

Just my thoughts, nice to see some enjoying it, shame it's a trolls paradise, though that's not new, just new toys for the kiddies, as I said. There's ways to avoid those types.

They should give non-jet aircraft the same treatment the Cargobob gets in that resupply mission. They made that really strong in there, from what I remember.

[zoso80]

Hilarious analogy. Most of the DLCs have been like this for me.

 

This is what happens when you have no incentive to be creative and evolve the game. Same concepts and mechanic retreads under shiny expensive veneers.

 

This is the cash card economy in action. A detached dev, lowbrow recycled content, stolen from other franchises and paywalls. Kids and PEWPEWPEWPEW types being catered to because they spend the money on those cash cards. The rest of the playerbase? Ignored.

 

More Golden Shower flavored cool aid for wanna-be edgelords.

Shame we have to wait for the unreleased vehicles to come to the game while those on pc are allowed to mod them into single player. Also the unreleased vehicles cost slightly more than $8,000,000 alone from the rest of the update. I remember when updates never used to cost more than $2 million for everything.

 

Update is meh because it's another reskin. How about a unique update for once.

[Florpus]

I do enjoy the new vehicles and weapon modifications, although I would love a large cosmetic update with clothing and such. For example, having these speciality heist armors, masks, duffle bags, and numerous other mission only clothing being for sale.

[STINKY_BAWLZ]

tbh it wasnt complete trash but it was quite the let down in some ways, was impressed with the weaponized vehicle customization and the weapon customization

but it just feels somewhat empty

 

ever since this update dropped, ive always had this feeling that this was either a part 1 of a gunrunning dlc in general or if things were to just gunna be dripfed from here on out

 

idk to me IMO it just wasnt enough content for it to be considered "Massive"

and you have all these additional sh*t that jus kinda hints at the opportunity of a part 2

 

idk, i honestly hope they do like a 3 part series for gunrunning, where part 1 (where we are now) is where we buy our stuff and set ourselves up, more or less dominating the ground with all these new weaponized vehicles

part 2 i would hope for more of like a Air and Water superiority, where there will be more things added such as these new camo clothings (hopefully a bit better than this time lol) a couple more MKII versions of some guns, some new research projects, but overall focus on those vehicles, (Hunter, Dinghy with turrets?, etc.) and for a part 3 to cater to the gun nuts such as myself with new weapons, better attachtments, some classic skins for the guns (like an AK with a wooden stock) lmao

 

idk just still cant get over how bland it feels like, especially when the hype train was haulin ass right before the update dropped

I agree the update is good. And I thought the explosive rounds and thermal scope would be awesome, And they are, when you use them. But beeing sniped by someone with ghost organisation feels like a goddamn modder is just blowing you up.

I used to make most of my money from headhunter and executive search. Now any fool with a sniper rifle can blow me out of the sky in headhunter, and there is no way to hide anymore in executive search.

[Rafae]

I felt overwhelmed during the first few hours of release but gradually as I discovered more and more from this update until finally delving into it all, the only thing keeping me 'involved' in Gunrunning now are the (awesome) supply and sale missions.

 

Not sure if I just rushed into everything quickly and now I'm left with little to do or if there wasn't really much to do to begin with that we already haven't done in FAFF, Bikers and I/E.

 

Not a bad update to me in any way, just more of the same but with a twist. Can't complain but at the same time, not entirely enthralled either. Meh who am I kidding this game is turning four years old in three months I should be grateful they keep milking this cash cow

[livejoker]

A SAM Battery that doesn't lock on (lol)

The trailer with the rockets? It does. On consoles (at least X1), hold left trigger. You have to lock-on again, though (I may be wrong about that, only did that mission once). Aaaaand a quick Google search shows that SAM Battery is the APC. Well.....ya know. Can't have everything.

 

@OP: If someone says "it's not that bad" about something, chances are that thing could be better. "Not that bad" is something a tired husband says to his wife when she ruins the nacho dip before a football game and has been in her room crying about it for the past 20 minutes. Let's not hide the fact that R* definitely made this update with GTA:O in mind, not the players. That's a big difference.

+Guns are awesome
+Vehicles are awesome
+Supply missions are cool
+I have most things unlocked
+Not too expensive if you avoid fast tracking

-RIP all helicopters
-Public sessions are even more like urban warfare now

[UKPortista]

I don't mind giving my valuable time and hard earned money to something that is both rewarding and fun. Sadly Gunrunning is neither (imo). A laborious and expensive slog for a bunch of lacklustre content - this is hands down least favourite update since launch. And if this is an indicator of where GTA (and RDR) are heading, R* games and I will be going our separate ways.

[Rafae]

Least receptive yet most popular update since launch

 

Rockstar you're up to something here

[-LN-]

I'm not a free roam person, so this update doesn't exactly get me off. I'm also not willing to spend millions upon millions so that I can buy and customise more items that cost millions upon millions.

 

My average session lately has lasted about 30 minutes maximum. If I can't find a decent job to play within that amount of time, I close the application.

 

Something definitely feels off though; I'm not sure if it is this DLC in particular or that I've just reached my limit for the time being. I sort of day dream about the game prior to all of the free roam expansion endeavours, but sadly that ship sailed long ago.

-RIP all helicopters

I haven't been shot once in a heli by explosive rounds... yet. And I'm in a Buzzard 62% of the time.

The only thing that really annoys me is I spent hundreds of thousands of MONEY in the MK2 sniper rifle and it's still not a one shot killer. Unless you use explosive SH!T.

 

Warfare in public sessions ? I think it's been much more quite since two weeks.

[AsphaltTrench]

If R* makes us do Challenges similar to Battlefield's Assignments features to unlock the Research and MK2 Weapons and Vehicles, I think it would be better.

Challenges, goals, high prices, research.... it doesn't matter. Most people will still have everything in a month.

[Maxxi]

Personally I am loving this update. There was a new glitch to steal street cars and dupe cars from friends. One thing my friends love to do is murder cops relentlessly. Insurgent Pickup Custom plus AA trailer with Flak Cannons? Literally indestructible. AND THAT IS WITHOUT INSURGENT UPGRADES! Same goes for the APC!

[REXX]

Uhhh, you can't survive a direct hit with explosive round with bst + armor.

Actually you can survive any explosive with full health, armor and BST. I don't have a video of the Explosive Sniper rounds, however I have tried it and survived by doing exactly what I did here a few months ago:

[nido997]

it´s not that this update is bad , I mean I´m not conplaining about (free) updates ...but ....

while the vehicles (including the hidden ones) are almost spot on , and the new MKII guns are nice , it´s actually a Biker 2.0 ...

not to mention the research thing at the bunker (which is really a stupid move from R* , that shows how greedy they can be) ....

It´s about expectations : my expectations were a bit high considering that this is the only "big DLC" in 2017 so far , so this update is probably the only update that disappointed me a bit ....

but as I said before , I´m not complaining at all , there are many good things in the DLC ...

[AUScowboy]

I agree with OP, I think some very dramatic people (the usual dramatic posters) very much over reacted to this update before they even knew how it fits into the larger context of GTAO. Now, with a bit of hindsight, i think it's a really cool albeit kind of small update with things a few of us have wanted for a while (different ammo types, deeper gun customisation, APC, mobile Anti aircraft, the REAL Cheetah Classic, a damn Countach, THERMAL SCOPE!).

 

Heck for those reasons alone I find it to be be pretty high ranking in my pecking order of favorite DLCs

[DrSweatySphincter]

Im holding my breath on a final verdict if a GR II comes out (which it REALLY needs to some of you know why...) so far...eh

 

Skyline should have been made head of this update
