Grand Theft Auto On-line (opens in new tab) gamers have an entire new solution to go searching for firepower: The Gun Van, a store-on-wheels that gives discriminating shoppers and purveyors of violence a rotating choice of top-of-the-line weaponry, armor, and ammunition.
As you would possibly anticipate, the Gun Van is just not fully on the extent with native rules, resembling they’re in Los Santos. That lack of authorized compliance means all the pieces offered out of the again of the Gun Van comes at a reduction, and there is not any 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 in an effort to keep away from getting busted, so if you wish to benefit from what it provides, 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 means, 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 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 price of fireplace (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 vans, making them very useful in the precise state of affairs.
Railguns are pretty customary fare in videogames today, 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 12 months in Quake 2—they have been each extremely popular stuff.
