The Weapons


Aiming System

  • There is an aiming system: the aiming system will hover over his shoulder as he aims. It will use duel analog controls.
  • As Niko runs with his gun, the moment he pulls it out to aim, it will hover over his shoulder.
  • In a screenshot in a magazine, Niko was seen doing drive-by with a Glock. It may suggests that drive-by is no more dependent only on the SMGs.
  • You can hug the wall like in Metal Gear Solid to cover yourself from fire.
  • You can also strafe, which is helpful when you take on the police.
Obtaining Weapons

  • Unable to simply just walk into Ammunation and buy a weapon, Niko has to search around in alleyways, back streets, basements, etc to obtain them.
  • You can also buy ammunition separately.
  • You have a friend named Little Jacob. Little Jacob sells the arms (9MM, SMG, Micro SMG) out of the trunk of his car for $100 a piece.
Physics of the Weapon System

  • Shooting an enemy in the leg might cause them to fall and shooting them in the shoulder might disarm them
  • The direction you attack an enemy from might also determine the result of your actions - creep up behind them and you should get an easy head shot, but take them on face to face and they could well flinch or duck out of the way.
  • Melee Combat - You should be able to throw people into walls, furniture or even off rooftops so that they flail desperately to grab for the edge of a fire escape as they plummet to their doom.
  • Shooting different parts of the body has different impacts (e.g shoot a security guard in the foot at the top of the stairs, and he'll come tumbling down.
  • They have improved the target system with different hitzones on the body.
  • Snipers are customizable. Not much is known on this subject.
