Grand Theft Auto On-line (opens in new tab) gamers have an entire new solution to go purchasing for firepower: The Gun Van, a store-on-wheels that provides discriminating customers and purveyors of violence a rotating collection of top-of-the-line weaponry, armor, and ammunition.
As you may anticipate, the Gun Van will not be fully on the extent with native rules, comparable to they’re in Los Santos. That lack of authorized compliance means every little thing bought out of the again of the Gun Van comes at a reduction, and there isn’t any fear about Rank necessities: For those who can afford it, you possibly can have it.
The draw back of not having all of the requisite licenses and permits is that the Gun Van has to remain on the transfer with a purpose to keep away from getting busted, so if you wish to reap the benefits of what it presents, you are going to need to go on the lookout for it. It is a bit like Xur in Future 2 (opens in new tab) in that approach, besides that so far as I do know Xur really has all his paperwork so as.
It’s a trouble, nevertheless it is likely to be well worth the effort. Together with all the standard kinds of enjoyable {hardware}, the Gun Van additionally delivers the mighty Railgun to GTA On-line. In contrast to standard weapons, railguns use electromagnetism to fireplace projectiles at extraordinarily excessive velocity. They’ve a really low charge of fireside (in GTA On-line, that’s—they do not exist as an precise man-portable weapon in the actual world) however hit like a fleet of vehicles, making them very helpful in the appropriate scenario.
Railguns are pretty customary fare in videogames today, however there was a time after they have been new and really unique. My first encounter with railguns (that I can recall, anyway) got here within the mid-’90s, first within the Arnold Schwarzenegger flick Eraser after which the next yr in Quake 2—they have been each extremely popular stuff.
