Guns
Problem:
The way guns are acquired now is unrealistic.
Solution:
Steel, Aluminum, and Plastic Can be found in Trash, on the beach with a metal detector, and from chop-shop.
The items can be used to make a Weapon or Advanced Lock-pick.
Street price per 1 item:
Steel $175
Plastic $150
Aluminum $100
Cost to Craft
100 Steel + 100 Plastic + 100 Aluminum = 1 LMG = $42,500
90 Steel + 90 Plastic + 90 Aluminum = 1 M4 = $38,250
75 Steel + 75 Plastic + 75 Aluminum = 1 UZI = $31,875
50 Steel + 50 Plastic + 50 Aluminum = 1 Silencer = $21,250
40 Steel + 40 Plastic + 40 Aluminum = 1 Ext. Mag = $17,000
30 Steel + 30 Plastic + 30 Aluminum = 1 Deagle = $12,750
20 Plastic + 50 Aluminum = 5 Lock-picks = $8,000
Balance:
Option 1:
Whitelist two gangs that can craft guns.
Whitelist other gangs weed/coke/meth drugs.
Option 2:
Hide the crafting location.
Option 3:
Anyone can build a crafting table if they figure out how.
This is already planned and we have a system sorted out already. Just needs to be put in. It’s pretty much exactly what you have typed here with the exception of where you will need to craft weapons and how easily you’ll be able to get there. This is ok because it will enforce that progression that will prevent brand new players from jumping right into it on day 1 in city.
