Why can we still not buy the Railgun?

[Criminal-Fox]

Exactly as the title says, Why can we still not buy the Railgun? it works perfectly in Online and it can't even be considered unbalanced anymore since we have the Explosive ammo for the Heavy Sniper MK2. Eh, maybe it'll be part of Festive Surprise 2017...

[HeavyDuke]

Because R* is god, and god does not wants you to have the rail gun.

[Happy Hunter]

Isn't the Railgun considerably more powerful than the explosive sniper? I think, anyway?

 

The sniper's like a Valkyrie's explosions - so a Savage needs about 3/4 to destroy. Still a small amount (too small really), but better than what you'd get with a Railgun. As far as I know, that's a more powerful explosive and would destroy it in one or two hits.

 

If I'm wrong, then maybe I'd be okay with it. Even then ... That's even more explosive ammo for people. It's already awkward enough draining people's snipers.

 

Just my vibe though, and it's not like I have the final say. I just think there's enough to fight aircraft with - not to mention this could have bad effects on ground vehicles.

I shudder to imagine the costly and asinine set of hoops R* will set up for us to jump through if they ever do decide to add it...

Gotta have MOC to "buy" the gun

 

Gun price = $1,000,000

Ammo Capacity = 4

Extended Magazine = 6 + $100,000

Ammunition = $10,000 per round

Railgun.

 

 

Pro's

Instant impact. No shot travel time. Massive damage. Removes aiming disadvantages.

 

Con's

Low range. Low shot count. Super slow reload.

 

But still, we can have flying missile bikes.

 

I would say that we can have railgun but the round count be the same and we have to MoC to reload. And it must be expensive. Easily the most expensive thing in the game. I'm talking triple the prices of heavy sniper exo rounds.

 

The advantage would be clear, but the cost would relflect the advantage.

[Quinn_flower]

Because priorities

[Rafae]

Because Rockstar won't let you

 

Wtf is so hard to understand here

The SP version is, but the Online version is I think is on par with with the explosive ammo , they cut the Rail Guns nuts off when they brought it to Online.

The railgun destroys any regular vehicle with 1 shot. Be it buzzards, hydras, cars.. etc.

I wanted to report this for its wicked accuracy...

[D T]

They're saving it for the final Alien DLC.

[SpareTimeRascal]

Cause we have the explosive sniper which is better and customizable.

[Ron Horse]

Lemme just buy Firework Launcher ammo year round, tia

[Sanches]

Cuz it will need thematic update to let us buy it.

 

Yeah, like lowriders are using AK-74U and sawn-off. Like bikers are throwing tomahawks around. Like military are flying around motorcycles and wearing rainbow camo.

 

[CrysisAverted]

People say Railgun would be too op in multiplayer

Same people welcome explosive ammo on snipers because haha f*ck you jets

 

 

 

at this point the railgun would be sh*t to have seeing how there are better options

I would however value it a lot if it never needed any ammo and just "recharged"

and just to f*ck sh*t up, it burst fired 6 rounds simultaneously almost like bird spray

 

a railgun shotgun with the range of a sniper that never runs out of ammo is the gun we need

[KingpinRCR]

Explosive ammo was bad, the railgun would be worse. It has no use at all except being a griefer tool.

[Shadowfennekin]

I don't know why, but it should.

And f*ck anybody who says it shouldn't.

Make it rank locked to say..... 400. Tryhards are usually 100 or 200 so they won't have it. Make the Railgun a reward for us players who are dedicated and just want to have fun

[HeatproofLemur]

Because if everyone had railguns you'd have to fly around in passive all the time, all that money you've just sunk into your rogue interceptor would be irrelevant since there's no counter to a railgun it's point and click, not like an explosive sniper where you can rely on the dodgy controls to stop them landing every single shot or homing launchers where we finally have flares now.

[Nick1020]

Auto aim explosive sniper? No thanks.

[REXX]

Should have been added ages ago.

 

Lol at everyone saying its more OP than explosive sniper rounds. There's hardly no zoom (unlike the sniper), extremely slow reload time, one shot per mag. Oh and it can't shoot though buildings either... go figure. Ok, so it has a slightly faster trajectory; simple, lower the damage.

 

Give it to returning players, lock it behind a $3,000,000 research, whatever it takes. I bloody want it!!!

 

[Gridl0k]

If you really want to bake your noodle, ask why you pay millions of dollars for a factory that turns railguns into steel plate or stripy paint.

Yeah, I think the staff are really screwing us, come to think of it that would have made a better topic...

[Lonely-Martin]

Ahh... Give it time...

 

Just like the Hunter... Just as many are about to walk...

 

Then they add it.

 

With a loot box DLC that's all the rage, yeah... Coming X-Mas 2017...

 

Now that's a game!.

 

(Sarcasm aside, I really wouldn't be surprised at this point)

[Mrs. Buzz]

My guess:

It'll come, sooner or later. I don't care anyway except its design to take some cool pics with it. Jammsbro already said it - most con is the range and the reloadtime each! shot. It looks cool for sure and it would be a "nice to have". But that's it (for me). Still the MKII sniper is the emperor weapon and I can't see anything beating it.

At least it appears for the first time in freeroam (GR supply mission).

Asking the question of why the Railgun isn't in online answers itself.

 

Im sorry, but im not gonna enjoy being 1 tapped with no counter play every time i get on.

 

 

Im a pvper and a railgun coming to online would just destroy the tryhard community.

 

 

no thanks

[Xiled]

Ahh... Give it time...

 

Just like the Hunter... Just as many are about to walk...

 

Then they add it.

Even though its been officially 4 years and we still can't "own" the hunter yet.

 

Railgun in online is a bad idea. We already have the bs explosive singleplayer cheat code sniper rifle in online. That covers the long range, we don't need a short range autoaim instant kill explosive gun. Explosive guns shouldn't be in the game but noooooo, rockstar lets people troll with explosive guns especially jets.

Seems just to announce it was enough... Good point!.

 

IMO, with what's out there already... What's one more OP thing?... Balance has long gone anyhow...
