Are Gun Lockers worth buying?

[wweraw526]

I hear they were having problems before and wanted to know if they were fixed

 

 

[The Wandering Hunter]

buy 1, i’m not sure which is the cheapest.

 

theyre useful for hiding things like the firework launcher which you can’t drop.

 

if by issues you mean them not working outside freemode that’s still the case, so you still need to drop weapons if you want a clean loadout

I still have problems at times with gun I have set to "hide" reappearing in the gun select menu. It sees to mainly be machine guns that it happens to.

[StormerBoy]

I think they are free with the arena. Either way compare the prices because you only need one and they are all the same.

 

Edit: and totally worth it

Have never had any problems out of mine, I play with a minimal loadout.

 

Just note, hiding weapons doesn't work in missions, heist, etc. All your weapons will reappear.

[IceDree]

One locker is all you need.

 

If you have an Avenger or an Arena workshop, save your money. Both come with a Gun Locker.

 

 

Depending on you define fixed? Your desired configuration remains during freeroam & the first Survival or Contact mission.

 

When you play multiple CMs back to back you'll carry your entire arsenal, but revert to your custom configuration once you return to freeroam.

I don't think it's an issue, pretty sure it's intended. Some missions require certain weapons (explosives, drive by weapons, etc) and they didn't want people to get stuck without the equipment they need.

I think I'll probably get the one for my bunker, that's a cheap one

That's the reason? But you need certain weapons in free roam missiond and the game still manages to equip them for you. Doesn't make sense.

Funny enough, missions that force you with a starting weapon (only one I know of is Cleaning the Cathouse) will make you have both standard and MKII variants in your inventory.

Well idk I don't work for Rockstar. Just saying I think that's the reason, but that was years ago when it was implimented initially so maybe they figured out the forced weapon thing later.

You do realize if you want to "hide" the firework launcher, just use up all the ammo. Shouldn't appear anymore if you've got no ammo.

Gun lockers help but they are nowhere near good enough. These stupid Republican Space Ranger weapons appeared in my inventory and I can't hide them with a locker or get rid of them any other way.

Have you tried dropping them in a free roam lobby and ensuring that you do not accidentally pick them up again? I had to use this method to rid myself of certain guns, especially for missions, where, as it's been stated, the gun locker settings do not apply. I sometimes have to go through and throw away certain common weapons that I pick up again during jobs, but this method should work and there aren't any missions that involve the space weapons, so I don't think you would be forced to have them again unless you accidentally bought them again.

I was doing that before gun lockers were added. The thing is, your weapons return when you restart the game.

Weird. I'll test it again later and see if it still works. In the past, mine only seemed to reappear if I acquired them again during jobs. Which platform? I'm on PS4.

Game will not allow you to drop those weapons, nor ammo for them.

Wow, you're right, I just tried it and it displayed the message that the weapons could not be dropped. I didn't realize this; I figured you could drop anything aside from MKII weapons.

I just tested this as well; I hid all of them using the Gun Locker from my Office. After hiding them, I left the office, then exited the session and closed the application. After relaunching, I walked outside the office and had a look at the load-out. They were all still hidden. So, I'm not sure what's going on there - perhaps try hiding them from a different Gun Locker. Are you on PC or console?

I just tested this; I discarded the standard MG and Combat Pistol, then exited the session and closed the application. I did not have them upon reloading, so I'm not sure - maybe it's a glitch/issue on PC.

[Valdr]

From what I can tell this seems to be the result of two bugs working together. The first bug is one that can prevent you from hiding any of your weapons: it seems like the game can have a problem properly recognizing you as "owning" a weapon and you fix it by getting rid of the weapon and buying it from an Ammunation store. The second glitch is one where weapons given to you by hackers are supposed to disappear when you switch sessions but for some reason they screwed up when they made these weapons and they don't share that property. End result is weapons I can't hide because I don't "own" them and I can't buy them because I already have them.

 

Gold star effort as always, R*.

I bought one for my clubhouse.I don't remember having any problems with it,and it did allow me to store weapons I rarely used so I don't have to cycle through a bunch of weapons when picking one of my commonly used guns,so I'd say they're worth buying.

[The Notorious]

If you still have a good amount of money left over, yes. It’s not a necessity, but it’s nice to have your favorite guns ready as soon as you open the wheel, and to not have to scroll through a ton of guns to get to the one you want.

the transaction check system on pc makes sure whatever you bought on your character stays there... which means you can't get rid of any guns that you have.

 

can i have an f in the chat for myself for accidentally buying regular mg and sns pistol

[el carlitos]

I bought my first one yesterday.

I was little disappointed that its working without any animation.

I continue to have issues with certain weapons not staying "hidden," like other's have said.

But, like my Grenade Launcher mysteriously emptying whenever I spent thousands to refill it, there will always be bugs.
You just learn to work around them or just live with them.

My big issue is with my Safe and the fact I can't yank out all the money and swim in it on the floor with my assistant. 

[Rumblebud]

I have had the occasional problem where my entire custom weapon loadout disappears. Like, it'll say "You currently do not have a Custom Weapon Loadout."

 

But I think it's because the loadout is likely to reset if you purchase another gun locker in a different property.

[S1ster P1stol]

They're worth it IF you bought a clubhouse or facility. They're free with those unlike the CEO office. Also worth it if you bought every weapon and don't use half of them or RP and need a specific loadout. But even then, you can let other players use the lockers in the facility.

I don't think other players can use your factitly locker if they don't also own one themselves.
