Next DLC Speculation Thread (Part 4)

[Nyamber]

 

 

I have a feeling there may yet be a modification made to the bunker for storing these vehicles, as AUScowboy comments there's the blocked off doorway beside the

shooting range [...]

Blocked of doorway? You mean the blue doors or this oddly missplaced concrete wall that looks like it covers something?

i doubt that door will lead anywhere as you must have the gun range to even see that useless door.

 

Its the exact same kind of door that blocks off the gunrange and living quarters before you buy it. There's also one right beside the entrance that you don't need any extras to see. It's right in front of the vehicle parking space.

[Smooth Longsack]

What would r* put in addition to a shooting range? A vehicle testing range? A swimming pool to test out new scuba gear? A pressurized pipeline that takes you anywhere in the underground? A place to inflate your blimp? Lol i can't picture an addition to a shooting range. I think that's just where the tier 3 unlocks are stored, like the unused door behind our secretaries.

[Happy Hunter]

About the armour on the Insurgent - it does suck that most of the vehicles go backwards when upgrading them, but at least you can spawn them near you, etc.

 

Got to have a lot more armour than this at any rate:

Hopefully it leads either up to somewhere with aircraft, or deep down where we have submarines and boats and stuff. Or both.

 

Edit: Oh of course, aircraft shooting range.

Its has the same armor as the Peg version Happy, the duped ones were weaker because rockstar wants our gun shipments to be easier to blow up.

again , the Insurgent custom does keep the same armor as the pegasus vehicle , both can survive 8 RPG while occupied

the glitched Insurgent customs got creepy armor , not the "regular, legit" one that we recieved today

That's nice to know, I can overwrite my duped one now. At least I avoided the dripfeed for 3 weeks

Is there any proof of the duped one being weaker than the converted one?

My duped one seem to be unaffected by this.

Not by me personally, but I'll buy the new one then blow them both up and see.

Confirmed by me. Duped insurgent custom is destroyed with 3 rpg's, "legit" insurgent custom is destroyed with 5 rpg's.

 

 

First insurgent is the duped one, second one is the purchased one

I'm glad its tough and not weak crap. A shame the armor plating upgrades are garbage for the driver. They look cool though.

[GLTh3Pr0]

Did anybody test the window platings' effectiveness with occupants inside? All of the videos I found show them to be as much resistant as regular windows, but when I shoot them in game they looked to be as much durable as the VIP vehicle ones.

It could be that the duped one's windows were nerfed too.

as far as i know, dupes were weaker than the legit ones

Yep, they can survive less explosions, not sure about the window durability tho.

I would like to see a bunker shooting range tier 4 star and 5 star challenge. The rewards for completing them would be great. Unlocking new weapons or tints would be fun I think. Last time I had so much fun shooting at my range for hours knowing that a mystery unlock was the big prize. I wasn't going to wait around to find out if it was worth it or not, I was determined to pioneer the challenges firsthand. My perspective of the game really tightened, I wasn't concerned with the million different things I could be doing in the open world, It was cozy to just shoot at the range and focus on the unlocks, enjoy the upgraded guns and fast track the next research. If the 5 star tier meant that I would gain access to MKIII weapons then I would dive right in however long it takes.

R* could have made mk2 and other weapon upgrades achievable by completing an objective but no, they chose to make it cost you, I doubt they will release anything worth while for "free"

Right. I'm so sick of that formula too. I was suggesting that you could unlock it as an option but it still costs you to equip, its just an exclusive opportunity that you unlock. Minigames and unlocks are something I would like to see more of. Seeing billiards make a return would be interesting. Sometimes it's the little things that are just as important as the next fastest supercar. Del Perro Pier would really come to life if half of those games had the depth to actually press right on the D-pad and play. That little air hockey table is begging to be played in first person! haha

I goddamn lost it at "the place to inflate your Blimp". Imagine pressing A like a maniac to do it using your lung capacity as a challenge/

Lemme get this straight, you want a helicopter with VTOL, rockets and exploding rounds to also be a flying tank? a vehicle which you can spawn infinitely?

 

In real life it might be a beast, which crazy amour but for this game, it shouldn't be that strong, IRL it takes years of training to learn how to use such a killing machine, in game you can just pick one up and do lots of damage, not even taking into account skilled pilots....it has rockets, travels quicker than the fastest car, has no insurance etc...what more do you want...just cos you are into helis does not mean it should be centered around your interests...

 

I think for the game universe its about right - there is a thin line between fun and realism

I'd like it to take more than being kicked 9 times, lol

 

You can infer from that whatever you'd like to. But if you want to debate it, it'd be better for you to PM or do it in another thread. Shouldn't derail this one.

i have achieved level 1 only on the heavy sniper challenge, im stuck and you asking for tier 4-5

[BitBasher]

Because you have, repeatedly, in free roam had legitimate issues with people kicking a helicopter you were flying until it exploded? How many times has your helicopter been kicked to death in free roam while you were flying it?

 

Or, much like snowballs, is it completely and utterly meaningless in actual game play and used as an absurdist point?

Pretty sure the point is meant to be that it has a general low amount of health/armour, not literally worried about it being kicked

I got through all of them and upon completion i had a "drop controller; extend arms upward" moment but at the cost of my nerves.

 

Edit- Carimbo, the first four or five shots on the sniper challenge should be as fast as possible to hit the multiplier bonus. Those first shots need not be head shots. Worry about the headies as soon as they're worth 45 pts a pop.

This. The point is that there's practically nothing that can't destroy it incredibly quickly. Whether that's snowballs, punching it, the flashlight, spraying some water on it, pistols, etc.

 

For an infamously well-armoured helicopter (that actually needs collecting, unlike the Buzzard, Oppressor, APC, etc.) it really could do with being stronger.

Shut the f up Mach.

[Commander S]

...soooo, next DLC - that sure is a thing, eh?

Actual on-topic point: Mach, you said that that AMG Cigarette boat mentioned a page or so back was inadvertently prescient - just not the boat, specifically. Maybe a more literal definition of 'cigarette', then (as in, that's the sort of thing being smuggled) - or is the key word 'AMG', and there's a new Benefactor thing coming - ?

(...or am I looking past what you were actually getting at, and so are both of those ideas laughably off the mark as a result? )
