GTA 5 secret weapon. Best weapon

Weapon GTA 5. In this guide you can familiarize yourself with the entire list of weapons available in the game and get acquainted with useful information about data, properties and descriptions about them. The main weapon store has returned to GTA 5 Ammu-Nation. The name of the store comes from two terms “ammunition” and “nation” (“military equipment” and “nation”).

This is something of a parody, as is often the case when it comes to Rockstar Games. It is a parody that weapons can be obtained easily and without problems.

If we briefly describe the arsenal of available weapons in GTA 5 , then the words best suited here are “ everything you can imagine" Pistols, machine guns, machine guns, grenade launchers, grenades, mines, flamethrowers, sniper rifles and much, much more. Please note that this arsenal is constantly growing with the release of new updates.

Overall, the positive feelings from the game have increased noticeably. If we add to this the first-person mode, which was introduced in GTA 5 only on new generation consoles and PCs, then we can say with confidence that the game not only surpassed the previous parts of the series and its closest competitors, but also set a new bar in the development of the global gaming industry.

Weapon parameters

Weapon stats are also displayed in the top right corner when selected. It will change depending on the selected weapon in the tab. But if you look into the game files (weapon*.meta), it turns out that these bars are responsible for individual parameters (HudDamage, HudSpeed, HudAccuracy and HudRange), which do not 100% reflect the values ​​of real parameters. Below is a table based on actual weapon parameters:

  • Useful weapons are marked green.
  • Slightly less useful weapons are marked in yellow.
  • Green indicates the parameter values ​​that make the weapon useful.
  • Shop. Ammo capacity (improved value in parentheses).
  • Scatter. Basic bullet spread. The Handle upgrade divides this value by 1.1 (the value in parentheses).
  • Recoil spread. Increased recoil spread.
  • Recoil height. How high does the scope jump from recoil? The Muzzle Brake upgrade reduces this height (value in parentheses).
  • Recoil interval. Minimum time (in ms) between sends. Since recoil can only occur at the moment of firing, this value determines the probability of missing one. If this value is greater than the firing interval, then there will be recoil only for every second shot. If this value = 0, then there will be recoil from every shot.
  • Firing interval. Time in seconds between shots.
  • Damage. Base damage when shooting at the center without armor. For comparison, players with levels greater than 100 have health equal to 328.
  • Damage per second. Damage divided by the firing interval, not including reload time.
  • Range. The maximum distance from which the weapon can generally hit.
  • Effective range. The distance from which damage begins to decrease. For most weapons, damage is reduced by up to 30% at maximum range. The “Heavy Barrel” upgrade increases the effective distance (value in parentheses).
  • Aim. Obviously, it gives an approximation. It is also written in the files that it reduces the recoil height, but no difference was noticed in the game.
  • Muffler. Has no effect on damage, range or accuracy.
  • Auto, Motorcycle, Boat. Possibility of shooting from these types of vehicles.

Special cartridges

No useful information on special cartridges was found in the game files. Below are the results of practical testing of cartridges:

  • Tracer bullets. They just add lighting.
  • Incendiary bullets. Unknown chance to set fire, -10% damage to enemies.
  • Expansive cartridges. +50% damage to enemies without armor, -10% damage to enemies with armor.
  • Armor-piercing cartridges. They pierce the armored vehicle (they hit health immediately), -90% damage to the armored vehicle itself.
  • TsMO cartridges. +100% damage to vehicles, ignore armored glass, -10% damage to enemies.

Firing range

For clarity, let’s see what the range values ​​from the table look like in the game.

30 . Maximum range for a double-barreled sawn-off shotgun and effective range for an armor-piercing pistol and POS.

40 . Maximum range for most shotguns.

50 . Maximum range for the Heavy Shotgun and slightly beyond the effective range of rifles.

120 . Maximum range for most weapons.

Best weapon

Based on the table, a list of the best weapons for different situations in the game has been compiled. This is what we recommend for purchase in ammunition and PKP; other weapons can be ignored so as not to clutter up your inventory.

  • On foot, close (30): RPG, Minigun, Assault Shotgun

Specifications, prices, availability and more

For the first time in GTA 5, weapon modifications appeared, which are also available in GTA Online. They can be purchased at Ammu-Nation stores.

Please note: in GTA Online, weapons remain with the protagonist forever only when you buy them. Captured weapons are retained only until the end of the session.

Self-cocking revolver

The Self-cocking Revolver is a secret weapon in GTA Online that is unlocked after completing a special quest. It was added to the game as part of the Doomsday Heist and became available on December 15, 2017.

In this article you can get acquainted with what weapons are available in GTA 5. We will not only list all kinds of weapons, but also provide detailed combat characteristics of each type of weapon in GTA 5 and GTA 5 Online.

If you have already played GTA 5, then you most likely noticed that weapons in this game are the most valuable resource along with money. A cool gun and ammo for it are not easy to come by, and going on a mission without being armed to the teeth is almost always tantamount to suicide.

GTA 5 where to find weapons

Where can you get weapons in GTA 5? There are 3 options. First, you can buy weapons from the Ammu-Nation store. This is the simplest option. But keep in mind that weapons cost money, and at the beginning of the game the range of available guns is very limited. Secondly, you can pick up the weapons of opponents defeated by you (or other participants in the game). For example, killed cops always drop a gun. Finally, thirdly, you can find weapons and body armor, which the developers hid in special places on the map. To help you with this, we have prepared weapons and armor map .

And if you want to get everything at once, use it!

Each weapon in GTA 5 has a number of characteristics. These include:

1) Accuracy(bullet spread)

2) Range

3) Fire rate

4) Damage dealt

An additional characteristic of a firearm is the clip capacity.

The weapon selection interface was transferred to GTA 5 from another game from Rockstar – Max Payne 3. Now, when choosing what to kill the enemy with, a circle appears on your screen, divided into 8 sectors. Each sector is a slot for a specific type of weapon. Thus, there are 8 types of weapons in total:

1) Cold weapon

GTA 5 weapons

Let's look at the weapons currently available in GTA 5.

Steel arms

1. Arms and legs.

At the beginning of the game, you will practically not have any serious weapons, so the ability to swing your limbs will definitely come in handy.

2. Knife.

An excellent killing weapon in the early stages of the game. You can buy it in a store for $100 or pick it up from street gang members. The knife can be used underwater.

3. Broken bottle.

“Rose” made from a bottle will become available after installing the “Beach Lazy” add-on. Can be obtained for free at the weapon store.

4. Hammer.

The weapon of a real maniac. The hammer is not as effective as other melee weapons, but it is extremely effective. Great choice for Trevor.

5. Mount.

A fairly rare weapon, comparable in characteristics to a hammer.

6. Rubber baton.

The classic police baton, which, however, the cops in GTA 5 for some reason do not use - they prefer to immediately fire from cannons. Less effective than a knife.

7. Baseball bat.

Probably the most popular weapon for street fights. The most effective melee weapon in GTA 5. Not sold in stores. But the bat can be found on the weapon and armor map.

8. Golf club.

A good choice for an intelligent bandit :) It is slightly inferior in efficiency to a bat, since you can wield the stick more slowly.

Pistols

9. An ordinary pistol.

Classic police Beretta 92FS. Clip – 12 rounds (can be expanded to 16). An excellent weapon at the beginning of the game.

10. Pocket pistol.

This miniature gun will become available after installing the Beach Bum add-on. The main drawback: the magazine only holds 6 rounds (can be upgraded to 12).

11. Combat pistol.

An excellent pistol, actively used by special services. Compared to the classic Beretta, it shoots more accurately and further. The magazine holds 12 rounds (can be expanded to 16).

12. Heavy pistol.

The prototype of this gun is the legendary Colt 1911. The weapon is available only after installing the Business add-on. Significantly more powerful than all other pistols.

13. Armor-piercing pistol.

A very fast pistol, the main advantage of which is the ability to penetrate armor. The magazine holds 12 rounds (can be expanded to 16).

14. Desert Eagle .50.

Probably the most famous pistol in the world. Unfortunately, it is only available to owners of the special and collector's edition of the game. The magazine contains 9 rounds (12 after modification).

15. Shocker.

The choice of a humanist:) Does not kill the enemy, but only immobilizes him for a while. Reloading takes 4 seconds. Effective only at close range.

Slot machines

16. Uzi (Micro SMG).

This submachine gun will be very useful to you, because... only it can be used to fire while driving a car (in addition to pistols). Clip holds 16 rounds (can be expanded to 30)

17. SMG.

A fairly effective automatic weapon. The characteristics are higher than that of the Uzi, but the SMG cannot be fired while in a car. Has 16 rounds per clip (30 after upgrade).

An impressive weapon with characteristics almost identical to the classic SMG. Available only to registered Rockstar Social Club users. It has a spacious 30-round clip that can be expanded to 60.

20. Sawed-off shotgun

The most powerful shotgun, leaving no chance for enemies at short range. Unfortunately, if the target is relatively far away, it is almost impossible to hit it. The clip contains 8 rounds.

21. Pump-action shotgun.

Less powerful, but significantly more accurate shotgun. You can take it from dead cops. Eight rounds in a clip.

22. Assault shotgun.

The most advanced weapon of this class in the game. The standard 8-round clip can be upgraded to 32! Excellent rate of fire.

24. Saiga.

A weapon whose prototype is the legendary Saiga, and that says it all :)

Assault rifles

26. Combat Carbine.

And this is an analogue of the famous American M4 rifle (shortened version). In all respects it is better than Kalashnikov (which is debatable in real life). In addition, this rifle is more compact. Magazine for 30 rounds (60 after upgrade).

The characteristics are similar to the previous rifle. Available only after installing the Business add-on. The clip contains 30 rounds (60 after modification).

34. Minigun.

The fastest firing weapon in the game. Fires up to 6000 bullets per minute! It has a big disadvantage: a player armed with such a heavy machine gun moves very slowly.
