Next DLC Speculation Thread (Part 4)

[Dust]

 

This update seems to have opened the floodgate much like Benny's Original Motorworks has in terms of a new form of customization that could be in future updates or dripfeed content.

You really don't need to make your text so large, bro. And I stick to my theory that the upgrades will all be 'mk2' designs and that's it - just a new frame and stuff for existing weapons, nowhere near Benny's tier customisation. Here's every instance of the Assault Rifle MK2 showing up for example:

I'm hoping I'm wrong and this is just a case of Rockstar modifying all their guns the same but...what's the chance of that, really?

 

So what else do you think about the weapons and the new attachments like the thermal scope and the red dot sights?

They keep showing the Assault Rifle custom and it looks the same. I can't say much there. I hope, you know, it's much deeper than simply a new frame for the weapons.

Do you think there will be new tactical vests like the ones on Soldiers and Merryweather-Mercs? Kinda going for the I'm a Civilian but also live in the constant warzone that is Los Santos look.

 

The one on the Bodyguard outfit would be perfect

 

 

 

But we probably only get normal T-shirts with camo on it

I think they're...okay. It's annoying to me that we're likely to get ANOTHER heavy pistol with a red dot sight before we get a straight up, normal 1911.

The customisations visually are totally unappealing to me so far since we've mostly seen really bright red/lime green guns which isn't really tactical nor pleasing to the eye. The thermal scope is probably only going to be available on the Heavy Sniper, most likely.

Heavy pistol

 

I dont know, this thing looks more like a upgraded AP Pistol or Combat Pistol.

SMG weapon (What this weapon is has not been confirmed yet by the community but we agree that it's an SMG. Watch the trailer to see that the rate of fire of this weapon is slow almost like a semi auto.)

 

 

Its definitly a upgraded regular SMG (MP5). Some say it is a PDW but there is one thing that does not match. The PDW is build by Coil but the Logo on the "new" smg is definitly the Hawk and Little Logo and the SMG is buildd by this company. If I remember correctly it has the logo on the same spot that the new gun is the shot has. Hawk and Little is a parody of Heckler und Koch the manufacturer of the MP5 that the SMG in gta 5 is based on.

And yes I do agree it sounds like it has a semiauto mode, just like the gun below.

Carbine Rifle

 

At first i thought it is a heavy shotgun but it is indeed a Carbine rifle. In this exact part it also sounds like it is in semiauto mode. Maybe we will be able to switch firemlde on the run but i think that changeing the firemode in the bunker is more plausible. Edited June 8, 2017 by Black-Dragon96

Interesting. I just looked closer at the picture of the custom pistol here:

 

I don't think it's the Heavy Pistol. It has a better chance of being the AP Pistol with an extended barrel or muzzle on the end. The more I look at it now, the angle of the handgrip is more like the AP and the rail on the top fits that profile too. I don't think it's the Heavy Pistol with a new sight, because like you pointed out, that wouldn't make sense.

[Gridl0k]

BTW - here's a riddle for you - does the rifle get explosive rounds? Watch them shooting the cargobob in the trailer, and then also there's the target range:

 

 

Just dynamic effects or AP/pyro rounds?

 

Also that guy need to get his barrel looked at

Remember that Rockstar hinted at a fleet of classic GTA vehicles to come... and that was AFTER they announced the Infernus and Turismo. So we still might be seeing some fan favorite cars coming along with this update, either as drip feed cars or released at first.

[Pedinhuh]

I have a feeling one of the upgrades is going to be adding armor peircing rounds like in the AP Pistol, for most guns. One scene in the trailer shows a cargobob exploding from what appears to be just shots from two people with assault rifles.

Hold up, since when the AP Pistol has armor piercing rounds???

[Pizzalover1993]

Not to mention the Insurgent doesn't really look like it'd be at home on a paved road like the Kombat does.

But I'd totally have one in my driveway if I could.

SMG weapon (What this weapon is has not been confirmed yet by the community but we agree that it's an SMG. Watch the trailer to see that the rate of fire of this weapon is slow almost like a semi auto.)

 

well i think this gun is a heavy modified version of the GTA 4 MP5

 

[jdv95]

funny thing about the kombat is that i thought rockstar had regrets making the insugent so strong (words from rockstarfa**ot) so i think that the kombat will be the lighter version of the insurgent?

 

just saying this because some people might think that it will as strong.

 

i think it will have semi bullet proof windows but will only take around 2 maybe 3 explosions.

 

price:600 k.

[Gridl0k]

I think it will go in the new Weaponized Vehicles section of your menu with the rest of the GR kit tbh

[jdv95]

yeah most likely.

 

although i realy want it to be a PV.

 

maybe you can by one without the trailer hitch as a PV and the verison that comes with a hitch might be a "special vehicle" from pegasus.

[éX-Driver]

Anyone else notice an influx of about a dozen new members in the past 5 days that all are all girls using real pictures of themselves and their real name? And basically all of their posts are in the Gunrunning update threads?

Since it was named AP Pistol? What do you think AP stands for?

 

Note that "armor piercing" in this game just means "does more damage".

True that

[CaptainMarvel]

 

the devastating Savage has to be a bit weak in armor or it'd be a floating angry god.

The oh-so devastating Savage is more than "a bit weak" though, isn't it?

 

 

Honestly, for that to become a God - you'd have to make it indestructible. Unless you're talking about using it against terrible players who don't know what they're doing at all.

Shrugs.

 

I do fine with it, solo or with the crew. But I also don't mind dying once in awhile. It'd be boring if any one vehicle was too OP offensively or defensively.

 

Simmer my boo, simmer.

[KreatiivFox]

 

It seems that this is indeed the MP5 model, which is basically an older model of the current standard SMG we have in-game.

http://gta.wikia.com/wiki/MP5

 

This means we'll probably be able to upgrade (or, well, downgrade) the SMG into the MP5.

Also, the SMG in this picture seems to be a Hawk & Little model, which is the same weapon manufacturer as the standard SMG.

Thats not an MP5, it is a direct replica of the S&W MP 10 smg. The MP5 did not appear in gta 4. In fact it was cut before release if i remember correctly.

 

Since it was named AP Pistol? What do you think AP stands for?

They dont feel that amorpiercing.

I also think that AP Pistol means something like "automatic proceding pistol", basicly saying full auto pistol.

I just watched the trailer a few more times and in that scene I think they are just normal rounds. I didn't see any micro explosions or anything. However, since when does a cargobob explode after being shot at briefly?

 

 

This helicopter can survive a direct hit with a rocket in freemode but in the trailer it appears to explode sight on scene from being shot at. This makes me wonder if high explosive rounds were the cause but like i just said this doesn't make much sense when you think about it. How does a few very small micro explosions from two or three rifles take down the most armored helicopter in the game?

[Gridl0k]

^ The voiceover at that specific scene is about improved weapons too iirc

it´s the MP5

[Lexhetillion]

At this point, i gotta admit that fan-made trailer served more hype than this trailer. This trailer was nothing compared to I/E and FAFF. This is more like Heists trailer vol 2. I didn't get hyped by the trailer... (Not saying i hate the dlc.. It's free and new stuff is always acceptable and awesome) But still it doesn't hype up... Not to mention the Hunter... Rockstar is stupid.

just admit that it was the lack of the hunter that made you feel that way.

 

since that is what you where always crying about yesterday...

More than likely a scripted part of the mission.

I hope the Hunter doesn't return. I'll get flack, but that's how I feel.

Knowing Rockstar, it'll be another sh*tty weak helicopter that will get decimated by the Hydra, like anything airborne does. It'll be f*cking useless.

well, at least he doesn't jump on and off bandwagons..

 

anyways... something completely irrelevant atm but is it even possible for rockstar to add san ferrio and las venturas, I mean development wise?

Honestly at this point, I wouldn't be phased if it got the Savage treatment. I just want to do loop de loops in an attack helicopter. Lol.

It'd be fun to fly around in, though.

Nope, it's Armor Piercing.

Compare it and the .50 Pistol. The .50 will kill a player faster (fewer shots or at longer distance) but the AP, when fired at a random vehicle, will cause it to blow up faster (fewer shots or longer distance).

AP-philiacs used to sometimes F-up Rooftop Rumble by using that pistol against the briefcase-carrying driver of the car that's supposed to escape the parking garage because the car exploded before the driver died and dropped the case.
