More Variety for Black Market Dealers

[Benjamin Berg]

With the (fairly) recent gun update that all crims loved and appreciated, came a wave of new weapons for criminals to utilise which was much needed with our incredibly outdated armory. However with this came the idea of more weapons and accessories for criminals with access to the f4 menu to use, a couple of ideas could be:

• 150/200 Armor Point Vests
• More MK2 Weapons, E.g Carbine MK2 or the SMG MK2
• Sniper Rifles/Marksman Rifles

One of the reasons that you may consider agreeing with this suggestion, Is the current perceived imbalance between criminals and the police (This is not the main point of the debate nor do I want it to become centered around this), the addition of these imports could help balance it out slightly and make any conflicts between the Police departments less one sided.
 

What about Special Cartel Imports?

This was definitely a point that I considered before making this post, and although every criminal in an 'official' faction greatly appreciates the RP that these imports provide, they are few and far apart, and for some gangs, may only happen once in their entire existence, so it makes getting the more expensive and desirable firearms much more difficult to obtain.

I still think that some weapons should most definitely be accessible only through these limited events, but I think that allowing criminals to import more powerful weapons for higher costs cash wise and weight wise would be greatly beneficial. 
 

This also doesn't have to be implemented for all factions, it could possibly be something that comes as a reward for increasing your faction tier. 

I would also like to clarify that I do not expect weapons like a marksman rifle or sniper rifle to be of common use, but it may be worth considering increasing the opportunity for gangs to purchase this sort of Heavy weapon.

I would love to hear the communities thoughts on this suggestion.
(If a suggestion has been recently made about something similar, I apologize.)

+1, Coming for someone who has RPed on LEO for near 8 months, I feel like its always one sided during police shootouts, lab raids, etc.

As someone who's roleplayed both on LEO and crim on and off for years, please no. The imbalance exists for a reason. This also only creates a further imbalance among crims.

IDK about AP when the majority of police is using 50/100 AP but +1 for more availability for special heavy weapons so long as the cost is in line with the value.

-1 this isn't GTA online, imo they should be deleted from the server entirely. +1 for everything else (MK2's, 150-200 APs)

This. Marksmen/snipers is too far. agree with the rest tho.

Nah. Keep the special weapons for special imports.

Fuck the 200AP's, give us armor plate refills.
