The Arms Trade update is now available in GTA Online. Unofficial details of the “Weapons Trade” update for GTA Online have surfaced online. List of updates to the GTA Online arms trade.

Rockstar Games has installed an add-on for online mode on the servers. " Arms trade", the next update for Grand Theft Auto Online, gives you access to the black market for weapons in Southern San Andreas. Your career as a weapons baron will begin with the acquisition of a bunker: these underground bastions serve as your base of operations, and each is equipped with a computer terminal with which you can connect to the Disruption Logistics network.

As the boss, chief, or president of a motorcycle club, run a prep mission to obtain raw materials, then split your staff between production and weapon development. Over time, your inventory will grow (you can speed up this process by hiring additional staff). When you're ready, deliver the weapons to interested buyers throughout Los Santos and Blaine County, and all that's left to do is count the profits. To make life easier for aspiring criminal entrepreneurs, we've lowered the amount of collateral so that you can now register as a boss with just GTA$50,000 in your Maze Bank account.

Along with this underground lair, you will also get access to a number of features and services. By selecting a property on the Maze Bank Foreclosures website, you can specify a design option, purchase a shooting range (where you can organize competitions with 3 other players), a personal room and a weapons cabinet, and also purchase custom transport.

If you want to expand your field of activity, you can place a mobile command post in the bunker. These massive fortresses on wheels are featured in the Warstock Cache and Carry catalog, and they can also be modified: each control panel consists of three modules, which can be equipped with a command center, living quarters, weapons room and auto repair shop (occupies two modules), or simply storage for personal transport.

By the way, do you already have GTA 5? If not, then you can play GTA Online for free right now with all the additions from Rockstar Games.

TRANSPORT WITH WEAPONS

A fundamentally new class of motorized mayhem. Six death machines offer you a number of original solutions to destroy the enemy in any combat situation. Each sample can be equipped with exclusive modifications, which you receive when developing projects and install them in the module with the auto repair shop.

APC: An armored personnel carrier with a turret gun, the shells from which pass through metal like a hot knife through butter. Embrasures allow four heavily armed mercenaries to fire personal weapons, and the armored hull is equally well suited for military operations on both land and water. Available modifications include a missile system and proximity mines that can be dropped in front of pursuers.

Dune FAV: This lightweight armored buggy is designed specifically for those preparing to meet and survive the end of the world. There's a machine gun mounted on the dashboard, and this car looks so stylish that when you park at Yellow Jack, the guys there will have to pick their jaws off the floor. Available modifications include a 40mm grenade launcher, a 7.62mm minigun and proximity mines.

Half-Track: who said that you can’t combine the best features of military and civilian equipment in one vehicle? The Half-Track has the maneuverability of a tank, but it has all the advantages of a truck: easy controls, a spacious cabin, and plenty of room in the back for a nutcase with a machine gun. If you want, in the mobile command post's auto repair shop you can replace this machine gun with quad 20mm guns, and even add proximity mines.

Oppressor: a motorcycle that flies. This jet-powered hyperbike boasts excellent aerodynamic qualities, with a powerful engine, retractable wings to generate lift, and a front-mounted machine gun for a fun and joyful atmosphere. Are you not very accurate? Replace the machine gun with rockets.

Tampa with weapons: The familiar muscle car has been given a combat facelift, so it now sports a minigun and military-grade armor. Available modifications include front rocket launchers, rear mortar and proximity mines.

Air defense trailer: what you want to turn into smoking ruins with this thing is your own business. As they say, the sky is not the limit. The standard tractor is the Vapid Sadler. The artillery mount can be additionally equipped with 20 mm guns or a battery of homing missiles.

This new breed of mobile weapons opens up a whole new front for you to engage in criminal activities. As you complete missions to obtain raw materials and strengthen your business, you will gain access to special operations that can be launched from a mobile command post. Upon completion of each transaction, you will unlock the item at the Warstock wholesale price.

WEAPON MODIFICATION (MK II)

Numerous modifications to the MK II, available exclusively at the Mobile Command Post Weapons Workshop, allow you to gain a number of tactical advantages in combat. Pistols, SMGs, Heavy Sniper Rifles, Heavy Machine Guns, Assault Rifles and Automatic Rifles can, among other things, be equipped with new magazines containing tracer, incendiary, armor-piercing, expansive and other ammunition. Add to this night vision devices, holographic sights, thermal imagers, new grips, silencers, muzzle brakes, paint jobs, color schemes and a bunch more.

NEW ITEMS OF CLOTHING, TATTOOS AND HAIRCUT

This season, boutiques and salons in Los Santos are ready to dress you up in the latest military fashion: at your service are camouflage jackets, berets, heavy-duty combat boots, menacing-looking tattoos and a crew cut.

BONUS ITEMS, DISCOUNTS AND MORE

The “Gunrunning” DLC for GTA Online has raised a lot of questions among players about the game mechanics of the new update. In that FAQ All useful information about the “Arms Trade” will be collected, as well as answers to all questions of interest.

FAQ will be updated periodically.

Bunker

Q: Where to start mastering the new update?

A: First of all, with the purchase of a bunker. The bunker is a command post, production and warehouse.

Q: How do bunkers differ from each other?

A: Nothing but location.

Q: What does the bunker produce?

A: Using purchased or stolen raw materials, the bunker can produce weapons (goods) and/or modifications (improvements to equipment and weapons). You can distribute the consumption of raw materials through a laptop.

Q: Is it possible to choose which modification to develop now?

A: No. The selection is made automatically. All 45 modifications are developed one by one, in random order.

Q: How long does it take to produce a full inventory of weapons?

A: About 12 hours real time. The product is filled according to $7,000 every 7 minutes.

Q: How much does the finished product cost in a bin?

A: A full warehouse is priced at $700,000 for sale in Blaine County, and $1,050,000 for sale in Los Santos. The price includes installed performance upgrades.

Q: What is a shooting range for?

A: In addition to the opportunity to practice shooting with different types of weapons, passing tests at the shooting range opens up new items and opportunities. When you complete the first level of tests for all weapons, you will receive several new skins for your MK II weapons. For completing level 2 challenges, your stock of throwing weapons will increase by +5. After completing all tests with 3 stars, you will receive 3 caps, 6 T-shirts and 3 hoodies in your wardrobe.

As for the weapons that appear near the shooting range, you can only pick them up by approaching them with empty ammunition. Fixed. Now you can always pick up weapons.

Q: How to pass tests in the shooting range?

A: In shooting range tests, it's all about coordination and accuracy; almost everything depends on the shooter. But some more or less universal advice can still be given:

shoot at targets using zoom (mouse wheel up). For better magnification, buy sights for your MK 2 weapon;
aim at the center of the target’s head, that’s where you can score the maximum number of points;
shoot in short bursts from automatic weapons;
try not to miss, as this resets the score multiplier. It's better to spend more time aiming than to lose your X3 multiplier;
Complete the test for each weapon to the end. For example, when you start testing a heavy machine gun, make it up to 3 stars. This way you will have the opportunity to “target” a certain type of weapon;
try to go through the shooting gallery with a first-person view;

Mobile command post

Q: Do I need to buy PKP? If yes, then for what?

A: In order to engage in the production and sale of weapons, a PKP is not needed. The control panel has three main functions:

Missions with special vehicles are launched from it (analogous to an update);
All modifications of your personal weapon are installed in the control panel;
Inside the control panel there is (with a certain configuration) a workshop for customizing vehicles such as HVY APC, BF Dune FAV, Bravado Half-track, Pegassi Oppressor, Declasse Weaponized Tampa.

In addition, the control panel can store, like a garage, one of the above-mentioned cars.

Q: How to modify a vehicle in PKP?

A: To do this, you need to drive the control panel out of the bunker, drive the tuning vehicle to the entrance to the control panel and press E.

Q: Will the PKP and its upgrades remain if I decide to change the bunker?

A: Yes, the PKP with all the improvements remains with you.

Transport

Q: How to call a trailer with air defense?

A: Interaction Menu (M key) -> "Transport" -> “Request an air defense trailer.” The trailer appears on the nearest road along with the SUV tractor.

Q: How to call a vehicle stored in the control panel?

A: Interaction menu -> “Mobile command post” -> “Request transport”.

Q: Is it possible to use transport from the update? Gunrunning in PvE missions, such as heists?

A: Yes, all transport can be called through a mechanic. You can even call in an anti-aircraft trailer (see above).

Q: What kind of ammunition do the armored personnel carrier and air defense trailer carry?

A: In stock versions of weapons, ammunition is unlimited. Having unlocked new types of weapons for these types of transport, the ammunition of the armored personnel carrier is limited to 60 missiles, the air defense trailer is limited to 32 missiles.

Other

Q: What's happened "Bunker Mission Series"?

A: These are 7 confrontation modes already familiar to us, but transferred to the bunker location:

Every cartridge counts;
Juggernaut;
Kill quota;
Resurrection;
Maniac;
Until the death separates us;
Swap places;

80 comments to “FAQ on Arms Trade”

Mark Winston yes, you can. On the website where you bought it.

Tell me, is it possible to change the compartments in the control panel after purchase?

HANDLAIN, No.

Is it possible to sell the bunker?

VOSTOK_7777777, This is just Game Blog. Rockstar games have never heard of us :)

» Renton, April 10th, 2018 at 23:30 left a comment: »
Yes, I tried it, in variants when there was not enough money for purchases - they sent you to buy a “Shark” card to buy game money. I didn’t risk buying the equipment again for fear of losing money forever. “For a long time before, there was a ban. "!!!
Can you tell me if this forum is visited by the GTA administration, or is it just players communicating?
Thanks for the answer.

VOSTOK_7777777, have you tried pressing the button? In theory, the purchase should not take place if you already have this vehicle in stock. Of course, we are talking about Pegasus transport, not personal ones. Personal items can be purchased in any quantity.

Now the word “PURCHASED” is not displayed on the purchased equipment; YOU ARE ALLOWED TO RANDOMLY BUY THE SAME TWICE. Previously, a long time ago, there was a ban. It’s difficult to explain to technical support; only one and a half lines are allotted for explanation. What should I do with this “glitch”?

Vladimir, goods are produced in a bunker whenever you are online, except for time periods when you extract raw materials or sell goods. It’s difficult to say in motorcycle club enterprises, due to the severe bugs.

If you complete various tasks, for example, the Air Quota case, is the product being produced at this time? (I played for an hour and a half, went into the bunker, there were no raw materials, no goods either) Some strange things were happening to me, either with the bunker or with the meta lab( motorcycle club) Either the raw materials disappeared, there was no goods, then once you bring the raw materials - it seems like the lab is completely filled with raw materials.

And with all the improvements, how long will it take to develop modifications?

Kimoto, only in PKP (as well as their purchase).

how to change the type of ammunition for a weapon in battle or is it of no use if you change the magazine in the trailer to regular cartridges?

Rikko, Unlike special cargo for office mechanics, the destruction of a weapon cargo entails a complete loss of goods (except for the one you managed to deliver).

what will happen to the weapon if I transport it, and at that moment other players kill me and destroy the cargo?

Damn, it didn’t all turn out to be fun, and in the heist missions and preparatory missions everything works, but as soon as you engage in open missions, the missile homing disappears, well, the vigilante just turns into zilch, and not only for him, but also for buzard, Yes, and probably everyone has self-obsessions. The question is, what is it and why was it done, but most importantly, you want to know exactly, so as not to get into an awkward position when homing works and when it doesn’t?

Vladimir, no, you can't increase it.

Is it possible to increase the number of missiles on a vigilante to 60, now it costs 30. If so, how?

Vladimir, no, armor does not affect performance.

If you reinforce a car with armor, will this affect its weight and maneuverability? Otherwise I’m afraid to put up armor.

Vladimir, yes, all developments remain. The tractor for PKP is better Hauler, it is more powerful and durable. By compartment - here, who likes what best. The living compartment is of no use, and the storage for vehicles in certain situations causes bugs, due to which you can lose the vehicle that is stored in the control panel forever. Personally, I use a combination of command center and weapons workshop + auto repair shop.

I want to buy a control panel, what is the best way to fill the compartments and which cabin is better?

Will the developments remain unlocked?

Vladimir, when purchasing a new bunker, only the goods/raw materials located in it and installed are lost bunker upgrades(staff, security, etc.). PKP, its upgrades, upgrades to vehicles made in PKP, all this remains.
When choosing a bunker location, consider the following factors:
1. Locations of your other businesses;
2. Convenient access to the bunker (try approaching your bunker at the control panel from different sides to understand this);
3. Consider the transportation you use most often. If these are aircraft, then it makes sense to buy a bunker east of the Sandy Shores airstrip.

I want to change the location of the bunker, which means I need to buy a new one. But the improved control panel will remain, or it will need to be pumped again in the bunker’s auto repair shop, weapons installed on it, and an armory installed in it. And also, if you open the development, mods and install rockets on the vigilante, will this mod be removed when changing the bunker? In general, what can I buy, make, so that later when changing the bunker it won’t get lost and I won’t have to make or buy it again. And missiles for vigilante will probably be limited and you will have to buy them every time, but where is this done, in a bunker or in a control panel? And also, what is the best place to choose for a bunker, the most expensive one near the prison or next to the runway, or another?

Thank you very much! Among all the Internet, I finally received the long-awaited answer :)

Andrey, Greetings.
1. The control panel remains when changing the bunker
2. All developments are saved
3. I can’t say for sure here, but it seems that when exchanging a bunker, the upgrades installed in it are not included in the price

Hello!
If I buy another bin:
1. Will my PCP remain or will it be sold? If sold, at what price?
2. Will modifications to weapons and equipment disappear or remain?
3. Will half the amount be refunded for modifications to the bunker or not?

Thank you in advance.

“As for weapons that appear near the shooting range, you can only pick them up by approaching them with empty ammunition” - this has already been corrected. Now, in the bunker, on the yacht, and in the hangar, all weapons are always selected.

Renton, I'm going to save up for an office.

Andrey, this is if there is no office. With the office, you can become a boss for free every time.

Renton, Already found everything. 50 thousand for becoming boss every time. We need to play more often.

Andrey, the company name (CEO) can be changed either in the office, through the interaction menu, or on the in-game Internet, on the site where offices are purchased

Is it possible to change the company name in the bunker later?

I put the insurgent in the control panel for customization, but nothing is customizable... It just sits there like an insurgent for storage. What to do?

Paul, Most often, with a full bunker, 3 insurgent pickups are given, but there are also 4 bigfoots, for example.

Actor To completely fill the hopper, you need about 5 full strips of raw materials.

and if I leave the bin with the maximum raw materials for 12 hours, will my raw materials be enough to fill the maximum?

please tell me, how many people does it take to sell all the cargo from bunker 3 or 4?

Andrey, you can say so.

I just thought that it was possible to somehow call the air defense immediately attached to the Nightshark. It turns out that this is a big omission from Rockstar.

Andrey, Formally, both the air defense trailer and Nightshark are your personal vehicles, so you cannot call them at the same time. The only option is to have the other player summon an AA trailer and you summon Nightshark.

I bought a Nightshark, but when I call for air defense, the Sadler is the tractor for it. How to attach air defense to Nightshark?

LLIKET, on various transport. FAV Buggy, Marshal, Insurgent pickup, etc. The more goods, the more transport.

How is the process of delivering goods to Los Santos?

Maksim, no, you can only have one.

Can a player buy multiple bunkers to increase production?

Artyom, Certainly.

Is development going on while I'm inside the bunker?

Haltfax, Unfortunately, there is no way to fight this. When CEO warehouses first came out, they also had similar problems. These are problems connecting to R* servers. Please try again later. By the way, in most such cases, the goods are returned to the bunker.

Hello! I have a problem: the transaction does not go through after selling the cargo from the bunker, I go through the task of selling and at the end there is a black screen “the operation could not be completed, contact technical support (and something like that)” the goods are returned back to the bunker, 4 attempts and everything is the same the day before everything was fine, but when selling special cargo and cars there are no errors, everything goes fine please help

Val, I don’t know about bunkers, but when exchanging an apartment, office or warehouse, 50% of the cost was returned.

I have a bunker for 1,650,000, how much will I get back from the sale?

Shaft, will return, but not completely.

If I want to buy a bunker elsewhere, will I get the full amount back for the old one? (without upgrades, etc.)

Sashok, with exchange, but compensation for the old one is a pittance.

Roman, No. Only when online.

Tell me the new bunker is bought with exchange or as new from scratch!

and when you play single player mode at this time in GTA Online the raw materials are filled?

The police can really get on your nerves sometimes, can't they? However, with the addition of the multi-functional movable command post to GTA Online, you have the ability to throw a police chase off your tail.

Roman, remains.

When buying a new bunker, does the control panel remain or do you have to buy it again?

Oleg, insiders, as usual, say that there will be a second part. True, they also promised "Police DLC", and casinos, and street racers, etc. 🙂 Before autumn - definitely not.

Do you think it makes sense to wait for part 2 of Arms Trade? To be honest, I’m a little disappointed, I can’t say that the update is bad, unlike the previous updates, it is much more interesting, those were some kind of sluggish ones.

Roman, the same.

and purchased raw materials fill the product scale less?

Roman, not at the moment. Most likely, Rockstar will introduce this feature in the near future.

Is it possible to upgrade technical with a machine gun or insurgent (pickup) in PKP? screenshots were leaked where it was possible to upgrade Technical and insurgent (pickup) in the PKP

Mork, All vehicles that are modified in PKP can be sold there.

Ilya, yes, you can.

Is it possible to sell an Oppressor motorcycle, for example?

I'm interested in this moment: is it possible to use improved weapons in PvE missions, robberies, random events?

a full warehouse costs $700,000 when sold in Blain County, and $1,050,000 when sold in Los Santos. And this is with a staff upgrade or without a staff upgrade?

Roman, Yes, you can purchase additional modifications. Through the website where the bunker is purchased.

Is it possible to make repairs in the bunker? Let’s say I bought a bunker without a shooting range and then wanted to buy a shooting range. is it possible?

XiolUs, no, all modifications will have to be installed again.

And if you change the bunker to one located elsewhere, will there be modifications to equipment, personnel, and security?

What about the weapons that spawn at the shooting range in the bunker? I can’t get it, even though I passed the shooting range with three stars.

Follow the news: soon we will publish new details about "the arms Trade, Part 2". Among other things we will tell you about the development and production of transport, equipped with weapons, and not only.

On March 2 of this year, Rockstar Games announced the next update for GTA Online called “Arms Trade” and described it with the following words: “ In yet another major expansion for GTA Online, you'll take on the craziest armed factions in San Andreas. This expansion will add new combat vehicles and exciting new missions to the game. Prepare for a deadly battle for control of the black market in weapons, which you will wage using the most modern military equipment».

So what should we expect from this new update, which is set to release this spring/summer? It looks like in this update we will have to join the ranks of an organization like a militia, and not the military, as one might expect from looking at the screenshots, which will have the ability to trade weapons, which is the cornerstone of any paramilitary organization.

Of course, you need to understand that this is all just speculation and ideas, so there isn’t much news about the update. It's better not to make any plans in advance, as you may end up disappointed.

And so, in terms of its functionality, the new addition will be very similar to the old systems, similar to the updates “Big People and Other Bandits”, “New Adventures of Bandits and Scammers”, “Bikers” and “Import/Export”. That is, go to point A, pick up or do something at point B (there will be a box of weapons or some kind of military vehicles), and then return the other way, but avoiding ambushes and traps.

This can be partly confirmed if you look at the minimap icons in the game files:

C:\Program Files\Rockstar Games\Grand Theft Auto V\update\update.rpf\x64\patch\data\cdimages\scaleform_minimap.rpf\minimap.ytd

These icons still do not have any signatures, which suggests that they were made specifically for a future update. From the names "radar_supplies" and "radar_property_bunker" it can be assumed that you will be able to purchase a Bunker as a Headquarters and deliver weapons according to the same principle as was present in previous updates for GTA Online.

One can only imagine what functionality this Bunker will have. Perhaps various defense systems or vehicles will be integrated into it, as has already been done with the Yacht, which will help make it a real military fortification.

In terms of content, an article from Rockstar Games talked about the presence of new vehicles, but what exactly should we expect? GTA Online already has a huge variety of military equipment and it’s not entirely clear what else can be added there. Although in the Warstock promotional image from Lifeinvader you can find images of such military vehicles that have not yet been introduced into the game. For example, third in the top row is a 4x4 Jeep that is slightly longer in appearance than the Canis Mesa from Fort Zancudo. In the lower right corner you can find a gunship inspired by the AH-64 Apache helicopter. Although it is worth noting that such a helicopter was already in previous parts of GTA and it was then called “Hunter”.

Warstock Cache & Carry military equipment page on Lifeinvader.

As for weapons, it became known from images of beta versions of the update and various information leaks that we will indeed be provided with new guns. For example, new carbines, an automatic sniper rifle, something similar to the P90 and perhaps even more.

Let's now move on to the gameplay and social component of the add-on. What should we expect here? Again, here you can only use your imagination. You can imagine that you will have a more structured organization compared to the biker or Chief groups. For example, maybe you can turn your gang into an armed group that will have its own uniforms, emblems and colors?

The functionality of the Pegasus system will be revised to provide greater convenience. For example, you will be able to have a garage or delivery location right in the Bunker. You will also be able to pay for vehicles and their costs for other members of your group.

Vehicles in the new expansion can be upgraded and painted in military-themed colors, so you can fully immerse yourself in the atmosphere of combat. Moreover, you will also be able to customize your weapons, i.e. change accessories, sights and colors on it.

Now let's move on to the army's role in the ARMS TRADE expansion, as well as its main base at Fort Zancudo. Perhaps in this update we will be able to somehow interfere in missions or public sessions of other factions.

release date

The estimated release date for the “Arms Trade” update for GTA Online is scheduled for the end of May or the beginning of June.
