Update Log 01/04/2024 – Vehicle Balance & Model Changes

@GP why would you buff PD more

police arent really as powerful as people think tbh. i nearly wiped pd (they were mostly TFU) like 4 months ago with a spas and all i had to do was sit in a corner and left click. either way just hit headshots or use shotguns and you won't need to cry about pd buffs anymore

Is the movement speed on par with heavy TFU? Or more or less?

It makes you slower with the as50 in hand than the normal sprint and/or walk speed of heavy tfu.

I wiped the entire PD with a silenced UMP at slums and fire department with nowhere to run. Will be on my montage coming out soon. 3 tfu 3 pistol cops.

Other Weapon Balancing​

In order to better balance the most powerful weapons on the server due to their frequent use, some changes have been made to limit their effectiveness.

• Reduced movement speed while holding AS50
• Reduced movement speed while holding M82

Honestly I feel like just making the guns and their magazines illegal to make or own, similar to grenades, would do more to reduce their usage. Or maybe give them their own, more expensive ammo, and lower the crafting cost of existing sniper ammo, as right now, almost nobody uses any other snipers, because the ammo economy for any .308 semi-automatic rifle is retarded when that same ammo can fuel a 1-hit anti-material rifle.

They will stay, yes. I agree on the UI tho, it's just way too big now. I ain't that old yet so I was able to read the old one just fine.

Please keep all the emergency minis they're brilliant.

I find it okay-ish, but it screams gmodstore.com for a reason to me... Too big, too jumpy. Much harder to read.

The UI is part of the april fools joke (which is over) and it is pretty clear since it was created by maia

I find it okay-ish, but it screams gmodstore.com for a reason to me... Too big, too jumpy. Much harder to read.

Should just revert to the old one imo, much better

Give ‘em to the Probationary Officers - they can use it as a training tool when patrolling with a SO+ and is more suited to handling petty crime haha

You wish, come and take ‘em, Liberal…

Separate Ammo was a good idea though!

Doesn't sound like a bad idea to be able to confiscate mags of a weapon that was used for a crime.

For the record, yesterday's "Vehicle balance" meant that all spawned vehicles were converted to Mini Coopers, even job ones (except Road Crew).
Except that part, the rest is meant to stay. There's already a couple of topics with feedback on some of the changes, so please use them to discuss their stay.

Great to know, thanks GP!

In my opinion that everyone cares about, the only part I feel needs rework is the NPC UI.

It doesn’t need to go back to how it was, just some tweaking to make it seem less, aggressive!

Mfw I "accidentally" walk around my base with AS50 so cops raid and I can shoot to protect massive financia loss.

I agree I think it is way to big but the colors don’t bother me
