"Use Weaponized Vehicles like the Dune FAV to deliver cargo to any drop-off"

 

Im sorry but was this allready known? Since no one is talking about that. Or am I just misunderstanding that we have to buy the special vehicles in order to deliver goods. Could be new vip also now I think of it..

That's wrong it's not the AP pistol. If you look at it, it resembles a Beretta 92, known as the starting pistol in GTAV.

 

 

 

What we will get is a Beretta 92 with a compensator like this

 

 

I don't see the Pistol MK2 getting much use. A complete wast of one of the 6 upgraded weapons we're getting. I say this because all semi auto weapons are clunky in GTAV. The fact that you can simply hold down the fire button and the weapon fires repeatedly as a fully automatic kills it even more. I don't know any AAA games besides GTAV that kill the trigger finger in this way. I love the LSPD tint on the Pistol in GTA Online but when it comes down to shooting it to kill NPCs or players it is just so clunky to fire and painfully boring. The aim down sights and firing semi pistols in V compared to battlefield or call of duty is terrible. There's nothing worse than a weapon that gets upgraded to look cool and spend your money but sucks at doing the one thing it's supposed to do. Keep in mind I'm talking about first person which is where these upgraded weapons are going to shine the most, thermal scopes, new iron sights, weapon skins, holographic sights ect. Anyway, that Beretta 92 with a compensator looks really good IRL and functions realistically. In GTAO I think the Pistol MK2 is going to flop based on bad shooting mechanics in first person primarily. Because like I said the upgraded pistol in the screenshot has a red dot sight so I think its relevant to think about how first person is with semi auto weapons.Thanks for the reply, this is all just my opinion.

 

The pistol shoots faster if you tap the fire button for each shot instead of holding it down.

It stands for "fast attack vehicle", the name of the military Buggy from which it's based. They were later renamed "DPV".

EDIT: crap, ninja'ed in a second.

[Mach1bud]

I don't really understand why they named it the Dune FAV....

 

Seems confusing to me. We already have a Dune and a Dune Loader.

 

And we are getting a weaponized Dune Loader with this update lol. I feel the "Buggy FAV" would have been more appropriate.

You don't have to tell me man, tell that to all the marksman wigglers. It's a bad mechanic, it's there and it shouldn't even be an option. It's a new low in terms of casual gameplay. *Holds down the trigger fires the first shot, continues to hold the fire button and the semi automatic weapon cycles like a full auto.. talk about innovation in a regressive way. Please understand, we all have that one thing in GTAV that we absolutely just don't understand what the hell rockstar was thinking when they made something a certain way. Things like assisted aim being the default and the combat overall is what pushes me over the edge more than anything else. Forgive me but the idea of the weapon in this screenshot being chained down by clunky combat mechanics just hurts. If it was the AP Pistol then I wouldn't be worried. Edit: I'm really excited for the update so I'm sorry for being a tad on the negative side. That's all I'll say about that.

Not any "Shown" so far. Even dataminers only have a list of names. They could be anything at this point. Tuesday ppl will uncover the dripfeed files with pics.

[Mach1bud]

Nobody has a list of names. Dataminers have nothing, there is nothing in the game code yet.

[AUScowboy]

If somebody is gonna post a list of names, use a spoiler tag please.

 

Edit: NVM.

One buggy has a basic lmg on the front, another one has a mini gun like the one on the limo.. I wonder how strong it will be.

 

Makes me wonder how many total turrets the APC and Tampa will have since we've seen 2 of each for each too

In fairness to R*, them calling something the 'buggy _____' is just asking for cheap jokes...

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yolks aside, it kinda has a decent ring to it, IMO - it's a DPV an FAV, based on the Dune Buggy. So you can either view it as substituting 'Buggy' for 'FAV' in terms of specific vehicle, or slapping 'Dune' in front of FAV, which implies 'off-road' to people who don't automatically know what an FAV is.

 

And beyond that, eh, it's at least consistent with previous things like the Rat-Loader/Rat Truck, I guess (which I'd say is actually more clumsy/odd, since why 'Rat' anything that's, yanno, pristine? )...
