Grand Theft Auto On-line (opens in new tab) gamers have a complete new method to go searching for firepower: The Gun Van, a store-on-wheels that provides discriminating customers and purveyors of violence a rotating choice of top-of-the-line weaponry, armor, and ammunition.
As you may count on, the Gun Van shouldn’t be totally on the extent with native rules, reminiscent of they’re in Los Santos. That lack of authorized compliance means every part bought out of the again of the Gun Van comes at a reduction, and there is not 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 the intention 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 searching for it. It’s kind of like Xur in Future 2 (opens in new tab) in that method, besides that so far as I do know Xur truly has all his paperwork so as.
It’s a trouble, nevertheless it is perhaps definitely worth the effort. Together with all the same old kinds of enjoyable {hardware}, the Gun Van additionally delivers the mighty Railgun to GTA On-line. Not like typical weapons, railguns use electromagnetism to fireside 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 true world) however hit like a fleet of vehicles, making them very useful in the best state of affairs.
Railguns are pretty commonplace fare in videogames nowadays, however there was a time once 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 very popular stuff.
