Next DLC Speculation Thread (Part 3)

[Duckdude001]

This was brought up a few days ago, the one on the right is probably a TV guided missile as it appears to have a lens.

I'm hoping they change out the shells on all vehicles that have explosives. I.e: buzzard with blue missiles, hydra with grey/body coloured missiles, tank with a big brown/black shell. All these vehicles currently use a RPG shell. Only unique missile weapon is the homing launcher. Edited June 7, 2017 by RedDagger

And the firework launcher. For accuracy, you know

[Haokizaru]

Just saw the new poll, if gunrunning is really the last major update to GTAO, that means GTA VI is a lot closer than we think

 

I don't think it's the case though

It was five years from GTAIV to GTAV and V had a ton of problems at launch

RDR2 is already been pushed back a year

GTAVI and "Human landing on Mars" are in the race together

Man it's so ridiculous to see how many pages this thread has. Would take forever to read everything on every page. Every time i go to this thread; since I load up on first page, I notice someone requested the phantom truck for Benny's treatment. We'll it looks like we finally getting a customizable phantom, not at Benny's but still customizable. It's almost too good to be true imho.

Actually, I was in North Hollywood late last year and saw a chrome (dipped metal, not those cheap-a** wraps) convertible Bentley drive past, so it's not 100% inaccurate.

If you wanted accuracy, then it should take no less than 90 minutes (2-2.5 hours typically) to get from Lester's warehouse to the Vespucci Pier.

To be fair, this time is accounting the fact you're driving while respecting traffic laws.

In V, assuming you drive following the traffic rules and stopping at Red traffic lights, it should take about 20 minutes of real life time.

[MagicalBasturd]

Great find on the missiles! The APC will definitely be replacing the armored boxville for my rampage with friends vehicle. I'm also getting curious how fast it'll be on the water. Speaking of multiple terrain vehicles; anybody thinking about the new bike? I have a feeling that it'll be able to fly, but only for a short time.

Not fly, more like glide.

 

Kinda like a Rocket Voltic, Ruiner 2k, and a Bati had a baby. That's my guess anyways based on the one screenshot.

Ahh yes. The good old "last update" joke.

 

People have been calling every update the last one and GTA VI will soon follow since what, 2016?

I hope i'll still be there to see the day when a gta has a map so big, it takes you hour(s) of driving to reach one side of the map from the other. Even if you drive like a madman.

Yeah, GTAO can still bleed out some few more pennies.

And R* themselves confirmed it "Gunrunning and more coming this Spring and Summer"

 

Bet they're gonna pull the same sh*t with the VI as they did with V.

Release it on current-gen consoles just before the release of the new ones, break records, make billions.

Port them to the next ones. Transfer your character. Still make billions.

They say GTA attracts all gamers no matter what game they play, well they can add American Truck Simulator into the mix too.

 

I have two question to ask the Staff:

1. Has this thread broke the record for number of pages on this forum?
2. What is the number of pages without hidden posts?

 

[Mach1bud]

It's on page 2980. Idk if it's broken the record yet, Dagger probably knows.

 

edit: 2981 haha.

Edited June 7, 2017 by Mach1bud

[Haokizaru]

So page 2820 is actually page 2980

 

Only 20 pages left people

[Dust]

 

Yea...i really think the poll is up for an update(or a removal) now though...

the 6th ain't over yet

 

When you think the time is right can we see the poll options say something like:

 

What's the first thing you will do when the update is out?

 

Go straight to Ammu-Nation to buy new guns.

Go straight to Sub Urban to buy new clothing.

Check the Warstock Cache & Carry in-game website for new vehicles.

Buy a bunker off of the Maze Bank Foreclosure in-game website.

 

I think it would be interesting to see what players traditionally do when they first spawn into freeemode after they install the update

Hey guys, i'm just going to leave this here:

 

 

 

 

​One missile looks standard,

 

the other looks upgraded, with it's own camera.

 

Huh. And it also looks like there will be a limited amount like the ruiner, so don't cry yet civilian pilots.

 

 

 

Sounds like we are able to upgrade these things (hence my prediction of a rocket overhaul coming true)

​This also confirms we are able to upgrade some Pegasus vehicles?

​IDK yet.

 

​Edit: I know i'm "late" to the party, but I have kept away from the speculative aspects of this community, (looking at you GTA tubers.)

 

Looks like similar for the Tampa - in the latest Newswire article, with the first pic of the MOC, the Tampa has rusted 'cage bars' over the windscreen and front, and a single turret.

 

Compare that to the screenshots of the Tampas from the preceding article, where the front bumper has a more solid 'battering ram' piece, one variant has additional lights/armour on the hood, there's more hefty side plating covering the doors, the windscreen bars are likewise stronger-looking, and of course, there's the option to upgrade the turret mount to have two barrels.

 

I'd say that having two barrels of the same kind of Turreted Limo-style gun isn't really going to do much other than increase damage - so it seems less about 'greater precision vs. higher damage output', and instead simply 'MORE DAKKA!'. Almost seems to suggest that, as part of the research you can do at your bunker, you can develop better upgrades for your Weaponised Vehicles - so the more ramshackle-looking Tampa might well be a basic version, while the more heavily-kitted-out ones might be after researching better gear for them.

 

That said, I expect R* will let players pick and choose, in the same way that there's no mandatory requirement to put on 100% armour or the flashiest cosmetic modifications on your cars at LSC. Particularly with the APC - judging by the screenshots, I'd guess that there's at least three different turret options: the regular gun mount from TBoGT, and then a choice of either homing or regular missiles. I.e., you can choose between 'precision gunning', 'point-and-shoot 'splosions', and 'guided anti-air/anti-vehicle ordnance'. Or something like that - I reckon that having to manually switch missile type at the bunker would be a logical way to do it, but R* might just make it a button toggle, like with aircraft rockets, and so the different missles are just a nice cosmetic touch - I dunno...

[DeucesR]

wow, 161 pages of deleted/hidden posts? lol

A map that big won't happen, even if it were possible at some point. It's just against playability.

[Haokizaru]

Log in, buy everything that is released, then i'll start the missions/research to unlock and buy the rest

 

If there is any cooldown between missions i will go try my new toys on players

 

I also plan on trying all the bunkers to see the differences

[Prince_Polaris]

So page 2820 is actually page 2980

I've been rooting for page 3000 ever since page 2400!

Oh yeah that's right. What are the odds of that happening lol?

[MaddenedGhost]

 

 

 

 

 

I loved the Hunter in San Andreas, I hope it's included in the update. I'll be a little disappointed

 

Me too, believe me. You might've guessed though

 

I think it could still be there, maybe hidden away to be dripfed, or in a part 2 or something released later. They've got to know how much we love it.

I still think we could be getting this:

 

 

Unless.... What if this update is all about land based military equipment and doesn't include any aircraft? The "and more" "& Summer" could be a massive summer update bringing the

Aircraft Carrier, Baron, Hunter, Rustler, Cuban Bomber, Stunt/Weaponized Besra, Stunt Hydra, Stunt Lazer, (stunt versions are equipped with Smoke Oil from the Andreas Flight School trailer instead of weapons), Launch, Vortex, Aircraft Worksop (to customize the aircraft and change between Stunt/Weaponized equipment), Boat Workshop, etc

.

 

Why add all this AA equipment and no aircraft? They might be preparing players for the next update. (and not just to counter the Hydra) This way players have time to arm themselves for what's to come...

 

If Agent 14 can sell Airbase Bunkers, Hydras, Insurgent Pick-Ups, Savages, etc, surely he's got the above stashed away somewhere. Ready to sell on the dark net for buyers who will use them for what they were built for, and not airshows... Perhaps he's keeping it stashed up his

 

(You also have to wonder if the anticipation of selling the Bunkers on the Dark Net is killing Agent 14... It's like the night before Christmas, or the morning before a test. Or the hours before a GTA:Online Update window)

 

 

We could be getting one massive land/anti-air update, followed by a massive aircraft update. It'd be better than having one update split between land and aircraft. This way CEOs, MCs, and Gunrunners will be prepaired with the tools to counter future aircraft.

 

Don't forget:

 

December 18, 2014 - Festive Surprise - Homing Rocket Launcher

March 10, 2015 - Heists - Hydra, Savage, Valkyrie

 

Before Rockstar added the Hydra, Savage, and Valkyrie they added the Homing Rocket Launcher. Perhaps all of this AA weaponry is once again in preparation for more armed aircraft being added. The Baron, Cuban Bomber, Hunter, Rustler, Armed Besra, etc might be coming in the next massive Update this Summer.

Nice, quick question: i watched the flight school trailer so many times but i can't see what was the cutcontent from that trailer, what were the things that didn't get released from that?

Just before the San Andreas Flight School logo the two outside Lazers have red smoke oil trails and the middle Lazer has a blue smoke oil trail. I know some players were hoping the Besra would have had a smoke oil trail. Along with a stunt show Lazer.But wasn't that just a graphics thing? I saw that but never thought that those were actual lazers, i always thought that it's just part of the graphics.

I don't mind the idea though, it would be very cool.

Don't know if you can add a poll about that cause everyone is gonna have a different experience.

 

For example, my ritual after it downloads is:

• OpenIV to look through the game files
• Log on to see which ones are released on day1
• Barber Shop, Clothes Store, Ammu-nation
•

it was mostly cuz of the physics I think, because other big trucks, 4x4s and buses could also do this but not to the extent the apc could tho. I loved the way large vehicles in general would plow the sh*t out of other vehicles in earlier gtas, meanwhile in V, a semi truck gets slowed down and stopped by a small vehicle like a Issi. Only few vehicles like the tank, dump, dozer, insurgent, etc, have this crazy stopping power. I'm hoping the new phantom custom that comes out with this dlc gives zero fcks about traffic like the brickade does.

 

Im think if the APC is still able to do push cars like this ( at 15s ) :

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wip4IoJ4si8&t=36s

 

It will be even funnier to use that against people, rather than outright killing them.

 

 

EDIT: I did post the video of a modded one by mistake, so i replaced it with the video i meant to post.

That APC is badass

LMAO at GTA4 cops lol

I have two question to ask the Staff:

• Has this thread broke the record for number of pages on this forum?
• What is the number of pages without hidden posts?

Adding onto what Mach said, it broke the record about 2 months ago, second highest is currently on 65839 posts or 2195 pages. Also broke the thread views record bout a week ago, right now it's passed 5.7m while the second highest is a taaad over 5.3m views. The GR update has given a massive boost to the replies and views, as I'm sure the older members are aware by how insanely active the thread's been as of late.

 

Putting the hidden pages into a bit more context, getting close to 5000 hidden posts

 

Edit: to put the numbers into perspective, the thread with the second highest views is over 9 years old. This thread is just over 1 year old. Can't say the same for views since it's the Mapping LS thread, which hasn't really been reigning in the views after V released, but that still took the better part of 2 years.

And maybe Austin Power myself in a hallway with the cart if it's available to use inside.

I like to wander around random pages on the B&M thread sometimes, and I remember seeing a post someone made about how the DLC thread was getting close to having more pages... it sure did didn't it!

 

And I'm curious, do you always hide posts that are off topic or dumb or banworthy or do some of the worse ones get deleted and the annoying-but-not-really-bad ones just get hidden?

 

Or why not delete all of them... that would save server space, yeah?

Everything gets hidden because you never know when a post needs to be unhidden/moved/linked for other staff - deleting is rather permanent and there's no harm in keeping them hidden, they don't have a large effect on server space I imagine.

Everyone says it's a camera, that we'll control the missile, etc. - personally I think it looks more like the kind of seeker you'd see on something laser-guided, like a Hellfire missile.

 

So my thinking is that the version with that might not even be an anti-air kind of thing.

 

I could be wrong though. Even if I wasn't, it's not like everything matches up to reality in this game.
