Earlier this week, Rockstar Video games has launched the newest massive replace for grand theft auto on-line, his tremendous well-liked open-world MMO. The brand new replace introduced much-needed adjustments and options to the practically decade-old recreation. He additionally added a brand new semi-automatic rifle to the digital streets of Los Santos that value practically half 1,000,000 {dollars} and…it completely sucks. It is so dangerous that many do not know why it was even added.
The free Felony Enterprises replace for GTA on-line launched on July 26 and it introduced many enhancements and new options to the sport, lots of which have been requested by followers for years. The replace consists of issues like the power to promote missions in a non-public session and the power to lastly run within the on line casino or nightclubs. It additionally added new monitor constructing options and made it simpler to eat snacks and use armor. All in all, not a brilliant flashy or attractive replace, however a wise replace that can assist maintain the growing old recreation playable and enjoyable.
The replace additionally added a brand new weapon that actually sucks.
The sniper rifle is, in idea, alleged to be a semi-automatic sniper rifle that could be very correct and can be utilized in medium and lengthy vary gunfights. And for an exorbitant value of $450,000 (with out low cost) many gamers can anticipate good worth for cash. I do know I did once I picked up the gun the second I logged in after the stay replace. What I and different gamers truly acquired for that top value was fairly horrible.
The primary purple flag appeared earlier than I even fired. After shopping for it, I went to spend the additional cash to improve it and add equipment, like a scope or a silencer. This can be a pretty widespread a part of GTA on-line and principally all my different weapons have related choices. However the sniper rifle has none of that. All you are able to do is swap colours on it. There are no scope, prolonged charger, flashlights or something. It made me nervous, however I assumed on the time possibly it was so good that he did not want that stuff. You learn the title and also you made it this far, so I haven’t got to inform you, however I’ll anyway, I used to be improper. So improper.
Within the very first firefight towards random cops who began attacking me for no cause (do not take a look at all of the useless our bodies round me), I shortly found that this rifle had a really gradual price of fireside. It additionally would not appear any extra correct or correct than most of my different rifles and pistols. In opposition to different gamers he would not appear to do a lot harm both, taking three or 4 physique hits to kill a troll attempting to bother you. Whereas that sounds cool, that is about all this costly gun has to supply.
Throughout the GTA on-line group, participant suggestions is usually unfavorable. The overwhelming majority of on-line players suppose the gun is a rip-off and a cash loss, evaluating it to cheaper rifles which have related and even higher stats. I noticed a participant compare it to a Nerf blaster. Not a great assessment of one thing that is alleged to be a deadly weapon.

Together with the backlash, gamers have been anticipating one other completely different weapon to even be a part of this new replace. This gun is the M16 Sort Service Rifle, a gun that Rockstar teased in screenshots posted earlier than the discharge of Felony Enterprises. However after the replace, the gun was nowhere to be discovered. It seems, by way of dataminers, that the service rifle is coming and will be a reward for completing a treasure hunt.
Oddly, some gamers are reporting that after they loaded the sport after the replace they’ve already discovered the service rifle of their stock. This model of the gun appears buggy and it’s most likely an unintentional error. However at the very least it is arduous to complain a few crappy, buggy gun when it is “free”.
Kotaku contacted Rockstar in regards to the service rifle and whether or not there are plans to replace or modify the poorly acquired sniper rifle. Till one thing adjustments I counsel you save your cash and purchase one thing else. And hey, at the very least Rockstar nerfed the terrible OP jetbike!
