Posted September 20, 2016 I have been playing life mods on arma 3 for about a year now and i swear ive never seen a server with realistic prices. If you've been oblivious to this let me explain in real life a glock only goes for about 250$ or an AR-15 for about 1000$ while in ARMA life an ar-15 is 250000$ or a glock is 20000$ guns are insanely overpriced i hate buying an mx for 80000 when in reality a scar or something in reallife like it is around 5000 to 10000 dollars and then you see a tec 9 for 50000$ its insane please take this into consideration. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 20, 2016 I can understand what you are saying, but if it costs that little for a gun, then everyone would have one. And that's something the devs do not want. As my character, Andrew Donaldson, is a weapons manufacturer, I have researched a lot about this topic; the devs don't want guns to be easily accessible to the players, otherwise it will turn into GTA. Depending on your job/career, someone could make make that money ($250) in a day, easily. So yes, weapons should be at a reasonable price. But if they are too low, then everyone will have a pistol up their sleeve and have the ability to start a mass shooting. I do hope the developers get this right. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 20, 2016 Ya, the gun prices are always going to be atleast a little inflated in games. The cost of the guns will depend on how the economy will pay out. For example in some games it's super easy to get $1000 dollars while in others it alot more difficult. If it's easy to get amounts of money like $1000 dollars then the cost of guns will be higher because like Andrew said, the devs don't want it to be too easy to get a gun. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 20, 2016 In a GTA RP I was in a regular pistol costed 200$ but an AP pistol costed upwards of 50 grand. Prices are ridiculous because of what he said. Not everybody should have guns. That would cause a lot of KOS and RDM 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 21, 2016 I'm not thinking on being in the criminal side, but I want weapons to defender myself. I agree with them being overpriced so not everyone has them 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If guns were as low as "$200" then I could get 10 of them when i start. (I got a high pledge). Edited September 21, 2016 by JamesLuck01 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I mean even with the ridiculous prices in arma 3 life guns are not that easy to come by. I mean there will be a gun store where you can buy pistols and maybe some low powered rifles like a .22 then maybe there will be harder ways to come by an AK or AR-15.

But i think the devs are smart from what i can see prices will be fairly realistic considering the money you get for donating 500$, Also maybe it will be harder to get a gun if you are not fit to own a gun like backround checks, firearm licences etc. Another thing is that money doesn't fall off of a tree in this game you will need a job to get that money to get a gun after you actually own a home and car and other necessary things.

Friend, that was already talked in this forum, just try to understand. This game will not be arma3 or GTA. It's a life simulator combining everything. So the game it's not centrated in guns and crime. There will be crime but the devs want to make it more difficult. Thats why guns will be difficult to have. If this game was arma, witch is a army simulator with guns being the central part of the game, it would be normal to start the game with guns. Forget arma and gta. This will be nothing like that.

Well actually this game is inspired by the Altis life mod on Arma 3 and gmod PERP but like you say it is bits of everything and not focused on cops and robbers but is the RP aspect. Socialising, interacting with others, meeting new people, having a laugh because of someones terrible singing in kareoke. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted September 25, 2016 ak 47 for 10$? fuck off! already had that experience. if you've reached level >8 on a gta sa mp server you could buy guns (for less than a burger). the players always shot everyone. same on gmod darkrp and arma 2 roleplay servers. if you want a gun for 10 bucks then go and play on a private server On 21.9.2016 at 5:46 PM, JamesLuck01 said: If guns were as low as "$200" then I could get 10 of them when i start.

Posted September 25, 2016 I don't really know the prices of the guns, but the guns can't be way to cheap and not way to expensive. I don't want a roleplaying game that is easy to get a gun on, beacuse if everyone has a gun it will be boring. They should be expensive, but as i said not way to expensive. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
