Grand Theft Auto On-line (opens in new tab) gamers have an entire new technique to go searching for firepower: The Gun Van, a store-on-wheels that gives 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 is just not solely on the extent with native laws, reminiscent of they’re in Los Santos. That lack of authorized compliance means every part offered out of the again of the Gun Van comes at a reduction, and there is no fear about Rank necessities: In case you 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 so as to keep away from getting busted, so if you wish to benefit from what it provides, you are going to should go searching for it. It is a bit like Xur in Future 2 (opens in new tab) in that means, besides that so far as I do know Xur really has all his paperwork so as.
It’s a problem, but it surely could be well 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 standard weapons, railguns use electromagnetism to fireside projectiles at extraordinarily excessive velocity. They’ve a really low price 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 precise state of affairs.
Railguns are pretty customary fare in videogames nowadays, however there was a time once they had 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 had been each very popular stuff.
