What if NPCs all had Snub Nose Revolvers?

[illgot 379]

I feel bad for NPCs.  They get run over, they get shot for fun, they get blown up (by me).

What if we gave them all SNRs?  Just let them shoot back at us   Imagine the chaos in a mission if you accidentally clip a group of NPCs waiting for a green light to cross the road.

They would just have a weapon. They couldn't do much aside from die as usual. NPCs would need to be recoded

Was definitely one of the best cheats in the older GTA games, would love to see something like that here. It would need to be an event or something though, not the normal behaviour.

[illgot 379]

Is there an event where the NPCs shot back or something.  I remember the chicken costume event but I don't think the chickens did anything but complained about getting mugged.

As long as I can arrest them and they count as arrests, give them OSMAWs for all I care.

Thats a good idea. Imagine a stree filled wtih stuck civs and they suddenly feel threatened and they all start firing their guns and killing everyone that passes by.

[Too_many_snowflakes 80]

Ah....  Yes....  CHAOS.

Or civ cars that don't stop permanently from the slightest bump.

[scaredofsnakes 52]

Something about this entire thread seems wrong

[Nite 261]

If this also means civvies don't walk around with the hp of a guy who just done got HVRed then yeah this could be interesting

[CookiePuss 5378]

what if NPCs didnt walk right in front of you when you are about to land that kill shot?

[vsb 6171]

what if there was a realistic number of npc's on the streets at all times and any time someone shot a gun they would scatter in every direction

What if we knew where all the NPC corpses went?

This. I wish for this happen with the engine upgrade. More NPC density at least (and variety).

I think having a small number of NPCs armed would be interesting, maybe they use small arms as self defense if you aggro them, but this would be entering proper bot territory (which I would also want, where you could recruit NPCs as backup and such).

i get enough bronzes as backup with this crappy matchmaking as is, no need to make it an official feature

[OvermoderatedForum 71]

I'm not sure about randomly spawned NPC's having weapons of any sort but that would make a neat new objective type-
Enfs/Crims have to go to a location and wipe out SPPD/Bloods/G-Kings/etc who fight back with weaker weapons and have semi-bad aim. It would sure be a lot funner and more interesting than those awful objectives where all you have to do is shoot some security cameras or store windows.

And if the coding works out they could probably throw in armed NPC's as a rare special type of ped spawn. Maybe a random drug dealer or something to explain why he shoots at both factions and he could drop a ton of special loot that can be turned in at contacts for a lot more dosh than usual, to give it some more purpose.

But that would still add to the debate of some people wanting less random chaos and random mission interference vs people who want more.

they could also have contests for NPC designs and such

Imagine the server spasms if NPCs could do anything but be useless obstacles...
