GTA V Online: Biker DLC - 10 Things You Need To Know
8. More Weapons Are Being Added
Grand Theft Auto's weapon wheel is a bit of a joke at this point. It's a feature that practically makes every player a one man war machine of death, pulling RPGs out of their coat pockets with ease all whilst switching to an assault rifle at a moment's notice. It vastly mitigates player attempts to individualise their own experience (as a life in Los Santos without a rocket launcher is a short one indeed), and breaks immersion just ever so slightly. This was sort of addressed in a previous update, but still, players continue to operate with a nigh-ridiculous bonanza of military grade weaponry at their disposal.
But, perhaps, this next update will be different. I mean come on, whilst we may all enjoy the notion of an RPG-toting biker at a glance, it would make next to no sense when other members are chaining and glassing each other in a nearby bar brawl. None. And that says nothing about the myriad of other explosives on offer, including grenades and sticky bombs.
Clubs should, ideally, be restricted to rocking up with guns, pool cues, and the occasional molotov cocktail - not a minigun and a signal flare for calling in airstrikes. Here's hoping there's enough in there to justify the switch.
