Next DLC Speculation Thread (Part 3)

[GLTh3Pr0]

Hey HappyHunter, I have a question for you. Imagine that they add the Hunter in this update, What would make you NOT like it?

I think that he mentioned time ago that he would be ok with it even if it would be as weak as the Savage at this point. One thing that I think he would not like at all would be doing the same thing that they've done with the Vortex on the Bikers update.

[Classique]

Hey HappyHunter, I have a question for you. Imagine that they add the Hunter in this update, What would make you NOT like it?

That it'll start to smoke after just 10 Snowballs.

[Hybrid_Punk]

This would also mean we've only seen 3 vehicles, as opposed to 4. So, in a way I kind of hope you're right. Then that means they'll probably have more up their sleeve.

 

If they're doing another newswire post (don't know if they said they would?) when would it be likely to arrive?

I'd say either this upcoming Tuesday or Thursday.

[Crystarium]

Hopefully I will see some amazing speculation about the kind of buy/sell missions we can expect when I wake up.

 

Git to wurking peepole!

It's almost more of a symbolic thing now lol. It just has to get added.

 

Obviously I'd rather they didn't mess it up, but even if they do, there'll still be those who can be beaten by it (some even get beaten by Savages), plus it looks great. And it's just ... It's a Hunter.

 

Hopefully Rockstar doesn't take that as a greenlight to nerf it to hell, but I'll take the form of the Hunter I can get.

Go here. Kill some guys. Take their guns. Deliver.

Yeah, I don't expect it to differ too much from the previous systems. I expect that we'll also have to customize the weapons before selling them like with I/E, possibly as an option to sell them for a higher payout.

Yup.

"Stay tuned for more on Gunrunning, including specific business and research opportunities, details on the massive tactical, full-service Mobile Operation Centers complete with new weapon upgrades and deep customization, all new Weaponized Vehicles and more."

Don't forget the aimbotting AI shooting thru the floor of their helis.

Maybe some of them will involve aircraft defending ground brethren from tryhards.

 

Like, let's say you have some friends on the ground, in an old-style Patriot, full of guns. They have to deliver them from point A to point B. Other players can try ambush it - but, there's a new helicopter giving support and defending them.

Oh yeah, that and the bugged Cargobob that makes stuff detach without any reason.

why oh why do i suspect the description being for the hunter being changed in favour of having a lowkey reference towards happy hunter?

 

would make laugh so hard

Most likely. I hope that the customization is extensive.

[RetroStyle]

I just read something a lil disheartening. The topspeed of the AH64-d Apache (Hunter) is 182 mph, but the topspeed of the Chinook transport chopper (Cargobob) is 196 mph. Does that mean the hunter might fly SLOWER than a Cargobob? Also topspeed of an Mil Mi24 Hind (Savage) is 208mph. Hunter could be the slowest chopper if it follows irl speeds. #kindabummed

Unlikely. The Cargobob is actually supposed to be faster than most helicopters thanks to it having two rotors.

 

But the game doesn't have a lot of basis in reality.

That would be so goddamn funny

[DrSame]

I just hope they give the hunter the ability to do uhhh.... backflips? I dunno if that's how the maneuver is called. And flares. That would make it perfect to me. I dont care if a single homing launcher can take it out, that's what the flares are for.

What if instead of the sea sparrow, we got a buzzard that can land on water ? i mean it would be easier for them to implement in the game.

To deliver guns to a boat?

 

I prefer a war boat.

[Mach1bud]

Guys, I know that the Hunter is speculated to come with this update, and it may be hard to know where to draw the line. All I am saying is please limit any in depth discussion about the Hunter to the Helisexuality thread.

 

OT: I speculate there is only 1 APC and it has multiple gun mods that can be done to it.

Well, i'd be satisfied if we got a turreted dinghy.

[Happy Hunter]

The APC can function as a war boat probably, and we know that's bound to take some damage.

 

A big ship we can pilot would be really cool though too. I didn't realize just how cool until I saw

.

 

Imagine a Piracy Prevention type mission on something like that? You could actually have people hiding and searching on parts of the ship.

[Haokizaru]

Since the dinghy is already in the game, it would be soo easy for them to implement this:

Well I want a fast one with mounted 50 cal and homing launcher. Make more use of the ocean.

Git to wurking peepole!

Go here. Kill some guys. Take their guns. Deliver.Here's some additional speculation:

 

- Buy the Bunker HQ

- Buy/Steal a base set of weapon manufacturing equipment to get started

- Buy/Steal weapon manufacturing resources to start manufacturing weapons

- Wait for your employees to manufacture the weapons

- Sell weapons

- Do "Research Missions" to unlock additional manufacturing equipment to manufacture new types of gear, vehicles, weapons, etc to manufacture and sell

 

Instead of new weapons or weapon mods being added to Ammu-Nation, the Bunker HQ will have it's own "Ammu-Nation" Armory/Shop and Shooting Range. The more equipment you can manufacture, the more stock your HQ's Armory/Shop has. If you want the new weapons/mods you'll have to either:

 

- Buy a Bunker

- Complete the Research Mission for the weapon and obtain the manufacturing equipment for it

- Pick it up from your HQ's Armory/Shop

 

Or

 

- Get invted to a HQ that has the weapon unlocked in it's Armory/Shop

Seems right. Just like the Armored Tampa has different mods, the APC will probably have something like that as well.

I do agree with 2 or 3 things you listed, but i also strongly believe there is gonna be some businesses around exporting some weaponized vehicles.

 

Another thing i've been thinking of is that with all those beautiful weaponized toys being added, players on foot will need some new tools to balance things. The most likely one being the Railgun.

Unlikely. Top Speeds don't translate well into the GTA universe. For example:

 

The real life counterparts of the Addar, GP1 & Penetrator all held the Top Speed record during their life times, but in the game they are either Average, Above Average or simply can't compete.

 

Don't worry about that.

Yep, I'm leaning towards the same speculation. Same with the Tampa.

Well, if that is the case, i hope we will be able to store multiple APCs in our bunker(s) unlike special vehicles where you only have room for one rocket voltic.

 

Edit: it will also sell more shark cards obviously.

Edited May 28, 2017 by Haokizaru

[TacitusKilgore]

I think the complete opposite. I think there are multiple APCs just like the Insurgent and the Karin Technical. One insurgent is obviously armed while the other one is only armored. One Technical is only land while the other is land and sea. I can see at least three APCs being introduced. 1.Armored with no weapons, 2. Armored with the Insurgents gun and 3. Armored with the SAMs. Each varying in price depending on their abilities. Could be way off on this prediction though. You can see at least two APC variants in this pic
