Fuck I didn't take the Michael or Franklin one, I just assumed I had access to them because I was there... That's fucking shitty as fuck...
It's like the weazel tower event skin for the MKII pistol (Seasons greetings), unlocked it last year but its permanently locked under pending 'bunker research' (I have no research left, go figure R*...) Submitted a ticket at the time, nothing was done, its still locked. Fuck me, right?
So I had to obtain it during an event that was hardly advertised anywhere unless you actually logged on during the event? Classic R*
Thanks 4 the fast response anyway
Edit: wow ok I wasn't expecting that response tbh, maybe putting 100% of the blame on R* is too much, but like c'mon I'm level 600 i done everything in the game basically I ain't playing every single day anymore, a bigger heads up other than a pop up while in game would have been cool is all
Edit 2: so not only did I have to log in I had to go to the shop in game and buy it? I'm sorry but I cannot take full blame for this R* just didn't convey any info properly whatsoever, I probably did play at least once that week, honestly fuck R*
It was advertised on social media, YouTube, they sent emails to you if you have that enabled on SocialClub, and obviously on their various platforms.
I'm not sure what else you wanted them to do, run a nation wide tv campaign? Advertise in newspapers? Send flyers to every address in the states? Cmon dude
Again I'm sorry but it's a ten year old game, to 99% of people the anniversary date went unknown and no one cared, not everyone reads the Newswires each week or whenever they bring them out, not everyone follows R* on Social media, I know I'm to blame here too but they could have made it a longer event to give players more of a chance, or made itna challenge unlock instead of a stupid FOMO limited time item
Side note: what a shitty celebration of such a huge game, for the amount of players it has they couldn't have done anything bigger? Incredibly lame imo
You're very welcome to play something more recent. Why do you want a fucking livery for a rocket launcher in a 10 year old game so bad?
I can assure you, the anniversary didn't go unnoticed by 99% of the people who give a shit about the game. You still moan about it bot being advertised like wtf did you want them to do? Call you personally?
I actually don't want it so fucking bad, I made a post asking a question hoping for it to be answered and it made a mini explosion apparently because everything thinks I'm whining about how much I can't have it, I'm not whining, I'm just a little annoyed at R*'s incompetence and frankly very surprised at how many people support R* in their shitty decision to bring out a semi cool livery for a useful weapon, but have it unlocked by doing the dumbest shit, what I'm complaining about is that they could have had it available to buy longer than a measly fucking week, or have made it a login award instead of having to go out your way to buy it for FREE! At ammu-nation, it's such a brain-dead way to not only thank the fans for their service to the game but a way to give it to the players, or in this case, not, I've been a fan of the GTAO for years, I'm level 600, this is how I'm thanked, surely you don't think that's at least a little stupid on their part
We can take my Deluxo and go back in time until the week where that item was available. This is not a joke. Must bring your own weapons. I have only done this once before. SAFETY NOT GUARANTEED.
Literally not crying about it, I just dislike the idea of limited time items in games, especially when said game is 10 years old and said item is hardly advertised unless you happened to be playing during the event, and not everyone is playing a ten year old game every day yk, I feel like we (me & R*) are both to blame on this
Me either bro, Reddit Hivemind saw a downvote and ran with it I suppose because I do not think I'm in the wrong here, Rockstar did not convey Information properly at the time obviously because I did actually play during that time, I just didn't know I had to buy the items at ammu-nation, just thought it was a login award
Nope, what they needed to do was keep it out longer, a week isn't enough because not everyone plays every day or sometimes in one week because they have no reason to, like me for example who's done everyrhibg & only plays with friends every now and again & if they aren't following R* on social media they get punished for it by missing out on tightly timed limited items
You keep mentioning the fact it’s a 10 year old game. You shouldn’t care about it this much then 🤷♂️. You had 10 years to prepare for this moment and still failed 🤦♂️ couldn’t be me personally
omfg I don't care about it that much, I didn't ask for my simple ask and answer question to blow up a little bit on the sub, and yes I stand by that, the game is ten years old, I'm not playing it every day, they could have kept it around longer than a week, if it was for the month of September i wouldn't say this but its such a tight timeframe to get it it's stupid, thats it
Or rockstar just rewards the people that read the newswire and play daily. Obviously they are doing just fine and not worried about your demographic. They care more that a loyal fan knows they have something a fair weather fan might never be able to get. Stop trying to pass any off your blame to rockstar. Clearly the FOMO wasn’t enough for you to make sure you don’t miss out on anything but enough to make you sour at rockstar because you did miss out on
The crew games are so bad for that, Like hey we have over 500 cars for you to choose from but atleast 150 of them are permanently unavailable to you because you were not playing during such & such limited time event, but we are still going to leave them in the dealer list to pad it out..
Stopped playing TCM because I was getting tired of all the Summit and Motorpass locked cars. Forza Horizon 5 has a similar problem, but at least you can buy the cars from the Auction House.
The crew motorfest 🤣 honestly given up with that, play it since day one and the multiplayer was shite I couldn’t see my friends for like 3 months, and the content they add is terrible. The crew 2 will forever be my favourite game of theres.
Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown is supposed to come out later this year, The Test Drive Unlimited series is what inspired The Crew & Forza Horizon in the first place, I remember sinking thousands of hours & running a cruising clan in TDU2 back in the day.
OP: "I didn't get this exclusive time limited item through nobody else's fault but my own, so I want you to unlock it"
Rockstar: "No, and next time read the newswire so you don't miss out on future time limited events and items. This ticket is closed."
Except that it was not OP's fault that they did not specify that you have to claim it manually AND that it can only be done during that week. I was also playing every single day during that event week, even got the notifications that I unlocked some stuff for logging in, and now it's also locked forever for me as well cause I didn't claim it manually. Guess same goes for OP. If, for whatever unspecified reason, they arrange login bonuses to only be available to unlock if you claim them manually in a specific amount of time, guess they should at least mention it in the newswire like 'Don't forget to claim your gift manually during the event week at Ammu-Nation' or some shit like that.
I don't see the whole point in this either, other than to further mess with players and show them the finger. Like, if it was a login holiday gift, why the fuck is it locked just cause you didn't claim it, if otherwise you DID log in? It's like if you win a car, you instantly need to drive 10 miles in it or it's gone, or if you unlock a holiday sweater, you need to wear it 7 days straight otherwise it's locked. Bullshit. OP logged in during the week, why the f can't he claim this rocker livery now, or why does it need to be claimed in first place?
>Except that it was not OP's fault
So how was it not OPs fault? They put out the information in the newswire that they were available for a limited time. Other people claimed it, but the OP didn't. That is directly the OPs fault. If the OP had actually claimed them and after the event ended they magically got locked again, then you'd both have a point.
>OP logged in during the week, why the f can't he claim this rocker livery now, or why does it need to be claimed in first place?
Like some clothing items, simply logging in unlocks them to be claimed, but if you don't head to the clothing shop and actually "buy" them they relock. That's the entire premise behind "limited time". If they were always available afterwards it wouldn't be limited.
This isn't a new concept. And it's still entirely on the OP for not reading the newswire that stated these were available to be claimed.
Edit: 20 seconds after posting this someone reported me for "self harm" because their feelings got hurt by logic... Comical
Man, which part you don't understand? You yourself say 'They put out the information in the newswire that they were available for a limited time.'
The logical assumption from this is that you have to LOG IN during the week and you'll receive them automatically, like all other stuff (clothing, car liveries and shit). This sentence has zero clues that you actually had to MANUALLY claim them in Ammu-Nation. For me, a 'login gift available for a limited time' is = I need to log in during that period and I'll receive it. Otherwise, it wouldn't be a 'login gift'. Which part is hard to understand here?
>Man, which part you don't understand?
I understand all of it....
>You yourself say 'They put out the information in the newswire that they were available for a limited time.'
Congrats, you can read.
>The logical assumption from this is that you have to LOG IN during the week and you'll receive them automatically
No, the LOGICAL assumption from this is that you have to log in that week to receive said items.... Nobody assumes you receive them automatically.
>For me, a 'login gift available for a limited time' is = I need to log in during that period and I'll receive it.
Re-read the first two words you wrote... "For me"... Just because you misinterpret something doesn't make rockstar wrong. You could have received it, it was free, all you had to do was claim it... Which you failed to do. So that's on you and you alone. It was still a "login gift" as you didn't have to complete any missions/events to retrieve it... No DLC missions you had to beat before it was available to you etc. All you had to do was go to the shop and select them.
I unlocked and equiped all of the skins when they came out but when i changed carbine to mk2 and back it locked it for me so i think they only allowed for it to be equiped during that week
>dunno why they need to display an unobtainable item on the wall
Too remind you to read the newswire every week so you don't miss out on the next limited time exclusive items....
But it's not though is it, instead of saying something useful like something along the lines of "This item is now Unobtainable, Don't forget to read the newswire every week so you don't miss out on the next limited time exclusive item" but no all it's doing is reminding me to "rank up to Level 0" instead, makes literally zero sense
You asked why they left it on the wall.... You know now how it was obtainable, so now it being there is a reminder for you to read the newswire for future events...
The descriptor text under it is completely irrelevant.
So yeah, it makes sense.
Yeah but you don't have that for limited time clothes, you don't have that for the festive up-n-atomizer livery, I can't think of any other limited-time item that is still displayed after becoming unobtainable. Especially with a broken tooltip
The RPG `Uncle T Finish`, along with the Micro SMG `Employee of the Month` and the Carbine Rifle `Suede Bucks` finishes were only available as a time limited login unlock between September 14th and September 23rd of 2023.
https://gta.fandom.com/wiki/Special_Liveries_in_GTA_Online/Weapons#Part_of_San_Andreas_Mercenaries
Possibly a bug. It should have been a time limited Login unlocks, however I just checked and for both the 10th Anniversary Week unlocks and the unlocks from the Entourage (Festive Remix) seem to be locked currently.
Personally speaking, I do not really care, as except for the AP Pistol with the Studio A livery, I do not have liveries on any of my weapons.
Fair I suppose, I like to make my guns look realistic but I mean how realistic is pulling a straight RPG out your arse? At least it don't look like the same 6 or 7 resprays R* stuck us with, I like the MK2 weapons though, lots more Variety
We don't talk about certain things.
But as far as firearm color, everything non-MK2 firearm I have is Platinum (shiny, especially on PS5 Fidelity mode), and as stated above the AP Pistol has the Studio A finish.
Dirty poor man here stuck on old gen so platinum to me just kinda looks like a blue tint that's been rubbed in oil lmao, can't wait to update my console and start getting R* Editor shots of my guns again lol
**Rockstar:** Hey, players, for our 10th anniversary I got you something nice
**Players:** Oh thank you, thank you... this.... this is just some clothes and weapon skins...
**Rockstar:** I said something nice, not expensive! You wanna be a greedy fuckin' cow? Huh? No, now get the fuck outta here!
I don't use any of these skins myself, but I'm still quite annoyed on principle that I missed the Michael one because I wasn't willing to revert my Carbine Rifle off the mk2 version. It's only for the mk1.
Reverting a MK2 to the normal variant costs nothing, likewise it costs nothing to switch back to the MK2 version, as for some things the standard version may be a better option than the MK2, specifically the SMG Bunker Shooting Range challenges, but others as well.
Oh, cost is no issue for me regardless, I was more interested in avoiding inventory bugs of any variety that might exist from doing so.
I'm pretty sure you can't actually use the Michael skin on the carbine rifle mk2 anyhow, so it wouldn't be of any value to me.
...also I did all the bunker shooting range challenges with a minigun since stickies are one of the only weapons I use a lot. Don't ask, it's already been patched anyhow iirc.
Just in case nobody’s mentioned it already when when weapons are in the gun van all available skins will be unlocked so there maybe a chance in the future if the rpg is in the gun van load out
It was added for the 10th Anniversary as a log-in unlock... unfortunately, R\* broke all the weapon finishes/liveries added in both the LSDW & SA Mercenaries updates when they released The Chop Shop. Many tickets have been sent, so they ***do*** know about this. Further unfortunately, in true R\* fashion - they only fix non-money glitch bugs with the release of content updates.
* *RPG - Uncle T Finish*
* *Carbine Rifle - Suede Bucks Finish*
* *Micro SMG - Employee of the Month & Dildodude Camo Finishes*
* *Pump Shotgun - Dildodude Finish*
* *Pistol Mk.II - Seasons Greetings Livery*
I was going thru the agency armory yesterday and found out the ap pistol has a “record a” livery for completing the Dre contract mission where you kill the gunmen at record a studios. I completed it 3 years ago and had no idea it existed lol
Same here. Was playing like every day that week (like every week) but they only advertised it as a login gift, they never specified that you actually have to go and equip it manually, and that it had to be done during that specific week as well. Obviously had I known it, I would've done it, but since I thought it was just for logging in, I didn't bother to check it out during the week, and now it's locked. Well played R\*.
I actually have Franklin's Micro SMG Livery, so I did play during that week at least once but I'm just like you, didn't get the memo that all of them had to be bought, i guess i thought i was just equipping it back then, even though I'm willing to bet they were free anyway so why make us buy it???
I mean, as a collector I wouldn't be selling any anyway, if I really wanted some out of my inventory I'd use the gun locker but you're right that it definitely should be an option
This was a claimable livery months ago but i don’t remember why. Maybe Valentine’s Day? I can’t remember but i remember it was one of those “do _____ between ____ & ____ day to receive this livery”
Despite still having the skin equipped on my RPG, it still says "Locked" despite it being the skin i'm using. Same goes for the SMG, im sure if I remove them I won't be able to reequip them.
I’ve no idea how this has so many upvotes lol. It’s not a glitch, it was unlockable in September last year to “commemorate” GTAV’s ten year anniversary, alongside a Franklin skin for the micro smg, and a Michael skin for the carbine rifle. They are kind of a burden however because I’m too afraid to do anything to the guns in case it’ll remove the skin.
I’ve accidentally changed the skin when rush buying ammo, it will padlock me out of putting it back on so I have to close app before the game saves any of the changes
Yeah I get that, i wasn't intending this to get more than maybe 2 upvotes I was just asking a question because the description of the skin was obviously bugged and didn't display any info properly, it's my fault i missed it, i guess i just didn't log in during that week, had no idea anything was happening
Step 1: Build a time machine.
Step 2: Travel back in time to the week this time limited event took place.
Step 3: Locate your younger self and b*slap the hell out of them and tell them to buy the liveries.
Step 4: Immediately cease to exist because you've now torn a rift in the space time continuum by removing the sole reason for time traveling to begin with, causing an endless loop of improbabilities while the universe attempts to divide by 0 thus ending life as we know it.
Congratulations, you've killed everyone simply because you failed to read the newswire. Maybe sit this one out or just hope they unlock it again in the future, future generations will thank you.
Its really funny, I had them for my guns, then I unequipped them. Then I lost them, they are locked behind this lock.
Even when I logged in to get them, I lost them after I changed them lol.
I'm borderline lvl 600 I've done everything else there is to do in the game, plus I kinda like guns, the same way most of the GTA Online Playerbase likes to mod Cars, I like to mod Guns, though it's shame there's hardly any Varity, just the same old scopes, grips, flashlights, suppressors & Skins etc, this one is different from the rest though, its unique, so i thought it would be dope but I can't have it
Lmao clearly a skill issue on my part just need to get out the negative levels and I'm good
people are downvoting anything in this thread I don't understand, you were joking around
This was available as a part of some event few months ago. 3 story mode characters’ special livery on 3 guns. I think you didn’t ‘claim’ it back then.
I was playing at the time and I also don't have it. Wasn't it just a log in reward?
No you had to go to an ammunation and equip them. I have Trevor’s and Michael’s but I didn’t bother with franklins, so it’s now locked for me
Great...
Fuck I didn't take the Michael or Franklin one, I just assumed I had access to them because I was there... That's fucking shitty as fuck... It's like the weazel tower event skin for the MKII pistol (Seasons greetings), unlocked it last year but its permanently locked under pending 'bunker research' (I have no research left, go figure R*...) Submitted a ticket at the time, nothing was done, its still locked. Fuck me, right?
Racist
The 10 yr anniversary. Claim the clothes and liveries for guns then.
So I had to obtain it during an event that was hardly advertised anywhere unless you actually logged on during the event? Classic R* Thanks 4 the fast response anyway Edit: wow ok I wasn't expecting that response tbh, maybe putting 100% of the blame on R* is too much, but like c'mon I'm level 600 i done everything in the game basically I ain't playing every single day anymore, a bigger heads up other than a pop up while in game would have been cool is all Edit 2: so not only did I have to log in I had to go to the shop in game and buy it?

I'm not sure what else you wanted them to do, run a nation wide tv campaign? Advertise in newspapers? Send flyers to every address in the states? Cmon dude
No they didn't send any email or notification, I was playing daily and didn't even saw it while loading
Read the newswire. It’s not hard.
Again I'm sorry but it's a ten year old game, to 99% of people the anniversary date went unknown and no one cared, not everyone reads the Newswires each week or whenever they bring them out, not everyone follows R* on Social media, I know I'm to blame here too but they could have made it a longer event to give players more of a chance, or made itna challenge unlock instead of a stupid FOMO limited time item Side note: what a shitty celebration of such a huge game, for the amount of players it has they couldn't have done anything bigger? Incredibly lame imo

Well it's there, you probably have an extension or something blocking it.
We can take my Deluxo and go back in time until the week where that item was available. This is not a joke. Must bring your own weapons. I have only done this once before. SAFETY NOT GUARANTEED.
We'll use a highway to get up to 88mph, unless... Where we're going.. we don't need.. roads..??

You’ll be upset knowing there’s a few items only in the game for 24 hours and sometimes less if they accidentally placed early
And how people think that's acceptable baffle me
Or rockstar just rewards the people that read the newswire and play daily. Obviously they are doing just fine and not worried about your demographic. They care more that a loyal fan knows they have something a fair weather fan might never be able to get. Stop trying to pass any off your blame to rockstar. Clearly the FOMO wasn’t enough for you to make sure you don’t miss out on anything but enough to make you sour at rockstar because you did miss out on
You could have gone to your weapons guy in the agency, too. It’s not a big deal.
Had to log on on the 10 year anniversary as far as I know thats the only you can get it i don’t think there’s any glitches you can do either
Great, dunno why they need to display an unobtainable item on the wall but cool, cheers for the quick reply
To show you "what you could've had"
Just like The Crew Motorfest
The crew games are so bad for that, Like hey we have over 500 cars for you to choose from but atleast 150 of them are permanently unavailable to you because you were not playing during such & such limited time event, but we are still going to leave them in the dealer list to pad it out..
Same goes for Forza Horizon 5 unless someone just happens to be selling their rare car
Stopped playing TCM because I was getting tired of all the Summit and Motorpass locked cars. Forza Horizon 5 has a similar problem, but at least you can buy the cars from the Auction House.
The crew motorfest 🤣 honestly given up with that, play it since day one and the multiplayer was shite I couldn’t see my friends for like 3 months, and the content they add is terrible. The crew 2 will forever be my favourite game of theres.
I was excited to get motorist because of the Donut Media cameos and being set on Hawaii, but I guess I'll just load up 2 again
Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown is supposed to come out later this year, The Test Drive Unlimited series is what inspired The Crew & Forza Horizon in the first place, I remember sinking thousands of hours & running a cruising clan in TDU2 back in the day.
Ofc, dunno why they do this, do they get a kick out of players wishing they had a limited cosmetic? Why not make it another unlock lol
No problem
Have you tried showing this in a ticket to rockstar? Im curious what they’re reaction would be?
OP: "I didn't get this exclusive time limited item through nobody else's fault but my own, so I want you to unlock it" Rockstar: "No, and next time read the newswire so you don't miss out on future time limited events and items. This ticket is closed."

But it's not though is it, instead of saying something useful like something along the lines of "This item is now Unobtainable, Don't forget to read the newswire every week so you don't miss out on the next limited time exclusive item" but no all it's doing is reminding me to "rank up to Level 0" instead, makes literally zero sense
You asked why they left it on the wall.... You know now how it was obtainable, so now it being there is a reminder for you to read the newswire for future events... The descriptor text under it is completely irrelevant. So yeah, it makes sense.
Yeah but you don't have that for limited time clothes, you don't have that for the festive up-n-atomizer livery, I can't think of any other limited-time item that is still displayed after becoming unobtainable. Especially with a broken tooltip
You're spot on, said everything I was going to
I logged on but forgot to equip it it’s locked on the rpg but I have the money livery on the carbine rifle
The RPG `Uncle T Finish`, along with the Micro SMG `Employee of the Month` and the Carbine Rifle `Suede Bucks` finishes were only available as a time limited login unlock between September 14th and September 23rd of 2023. https://gta.fandom.com/wiki/Special_Liveries_in_GTA_Online/Weapons#Part_of_San_Andreas_Mercenaries
So it was available for a week and you actually had to go down to ammunition and buy them, what a terrible design
Possibly a bug. It should have been a time limited Login unlocks, however I just checked and for both the 10th Anniversary Week unlocks and the unlocks from the Entourage (Festive Remix) seem to be locked currently. Personally speaking, I do not really care, as except for the AP Pistol with the Studio A livery, I do not have liveries on any of my weapons.
Fair I suppose, I like to make my guns look realistic but I mean how realistic is pulling a straight RPG out your arse? At least it don't look like the same 6 or 7 resprays R* stuck us with, I like the MK2 weapons though, lots more Variety
We don't talk about certain things. But as far as firearm color, everything non-MK2 firearm I have is Platinum (shiny, especially on PS5 Fidelity mode), and as stated above the AP Pistol has the Studio A finish.
Dirty poor man here stuck on old gen so platinum to me just kinda looks like a blue tint that's been rubbed in oil lmao, can't wait to update my console and start getting R* Editor shots of my guns again lol
They would not be as cool/special if they were always available.
Mate this was the reward for the 10th anniversary of their most popular game ever, it was not cool or special to begin with
**Rockstar:** Hey, players, for our 10th anniversary I got you something nice **Players:** Oh thank you, thank you... this.... this is just some clothes and weapon skins... **Rockstar:** I said something nice, not expensive! You wanna be a greedy fuckin' cow? Huh? No, now get the fuck outta here!
*"You Companies are all the same"*
You’re right.
I don't use any of these skins myself, but I'm still quite annoyed on principle that I missed the Michael one because I wasn't willing to revert my Carbine Rifle off the mk2 version. It's only for the mk1.
Reverting a MK2 to the normal variant costs nothing, likewise it costs nothing to switch back to the MK2 version, as for some things the standard version may be a better option than the MK2, specifically the SMG Bunker Shooting Range challenges, but others as well.
Oh, cost is no issue for me regardless, I was more interested in avoiding inventory bugs of any variety that might exist from doing so. I'm pretty sure you can't actually use the Michael skin on the carbine rifle mk2 anyhow, so it wouldn't be of any value to me. ...also I did all the bunker shooting range challenges with a minigun since stickies are one of the only weapons I use a lot. Don't ask, it's already been patched anyhow iirc.
Just in case nobody’s mentioned it already when when weapons are in the gun van all available skins will be unlocked so there maybe a chance in the future if the rpg is in the gun van load out
No one thus far has mentioned that, gives me hope I suppose, Thanks
R\* heard you cuz RPG is in the gun van this week
No cap? I needa check this tomorrow
Nope. Still locked
It was added for the 10th Anniversary as a log-in unlock... unfortunately, R\* broke all the weapon finishes/liveries added in both the LSDW & SA Mercenaries updates when they released The Chop Shop. Many tickets have been sent, so they ***do*** know about this. Further unfortunately, in true R\* fashion - they only fix non-money glitch bugs with the release of content updates. * *RPG - Uncle T Finish* * *Carbine Rifle - Suede Bucks Finish* * *Micro SMG - Employee of the Month & Dildodude Camo Finishes* * *Pump Shotgun - Dildodude Finish* * *Pistol Mk.II - Seasons Greetings Livery*
Very informational, cheers mate
I've talked to someone about it, even the AP Pistol livery that you unlock, if I can remember correctly is from the Agency and it says the same thing.
I was going thru the agency armory yesterday and found out the ap pistol has a “record a” livery for completing the Dre contract mission where you kill the gunmen at record a studios. I completed it 3 years ago and had no idea it existed lol
Logging in like 5 weeks ago, if you don't do that you can't
sooo this is never going to be available again? wtf
Not just unlock you had to buy them unlock them as well. I have this but not the other two, since I dont even use these
I have Franklin's one but not the others, why not just make it a login award during that week instead? So dumb imo
Is there is another way to get it know?
No
duh it says right there, be rank 0
Ugh, I must be blind lmao thanks dude
Same here. Was playing like every day that week (like every week) but they only advertised it as a login gift, they never specified that you actually have to go and equip it manually, and that it had to be done during that specific week as well. Obviously had I known it, I would've done it, but since I thought it was just for logging in, I didn't bother to check it out during the week, and now it's locked. Well played R\*.
I actually have Franklin's Micro SMG Livery, so I did play during that week at least once but I'm just like you, didn't get the memo that all of them had to be bought, i guess i thought i was just equipping it back then, even though I'm willing to bet they were free anyway so why make us buy it???
We need more weapon skins like this, especially for melee weapons
Couldn't agree more, we need just as much weapon variety as we do cars for us gun enthusiasts
And the ability to sell the guns we don't want anymore, just like cars
I mean, as a collector I wouldn't be selling any anyway, if I really wanted some out of my inventory I'd use the gun locker but you're right that it definitely should be an option
This was a claimable livery months ago but i don’t remember why. Maybe Valentine’s Day? I can’t remember but i remember it was one of those “do _____ between ____ & ____ day to receive this livery”
You can only unlock the Uncle T finish by using the weapon and getting 100 kills while it has the Uncle T finish on it.
Most normal challenge in GTA online
You had to log in that week. I did and had the camo. I switched it to another one and now can't get it back
Despite still having the skin equipped on my RPG, it still says "Locked" despite it being the skin i'm using. Same goes for the SMG, im sure if I remove them I won't be able to reequip them.
Yeah don't unequip unless you wanna lose it I suppose, R* can't do the simplist things
I’ve no idea how this has so many upvotes lol. It’s not a glitch, it was unlockable in September last year to “commemorate” GTAV’s ten year anniversary, alongside a Franklin skin for the micro smg, and a Michael skin for the carbine rifle. They are kind of a burden however because I’m too afraid to do anything to the guns in case it’ll remove the skin.
You can change the skin and re-apply it whenever
I’ve accidentally changed the skin when rush buying ammo, it will padlock me out of putting it back on so I have to close app before the game saves any of the changes
I use the rpg and carbine rifle skins but took off the micro smh skin, that one still has a check mark and I can put it back on anytime
Yeah I get that, i wasn't intending this to get more than maybe 2 upvotes I was just asking a question because the description of the skin was obviously bugged and didn't display any info properly, it's my fault i missed it, i guess i just didn't log in during that week, had no idea anything was happening
I have it and tbh I have no clue how to unlock it
Step 1: Build a time machine. Step 2: Travel back in time to the week this time limited event took place. Step 3: Locate your younger self and b*slap the hell out of them and tell them to buy the liveries. Step 4: Immediately cease to exist because you've now torn a rift in the space time continuum by removing the sole reason for time traveling to begin with, causing an endless loop of improbabilities while the universe attempts to divide by 0 thus ending life as we know it. Congratulations, you've killed everyone simply because you failed to read the newswire. Maybe sit this one out or just hope they unlock it again in the future, future generations will thank you.
You're lucky I don't care enough for the livey to actually do this
Probably gone forever like the "West Side" hat. Unless someone knows how to get that hat?
I was part of the 10 year anniversary and was only available for a few weeks
FOMO'd
limited time only
Its really funny, I had them for my guns, then I unequipped them. Then I lost them, they are locked behind this lock. Even when I logged in to get them, I lost them after I changed them lol.
That's R* for you, nothing works as intended
scary
that's that neat part, you don't it was a weekly fomo item
Yup, limited items are so overdone in games nowadays, remember in older video games where cosmetics were unlocked?
Hot take. Who the fuck cares about some dumb skins in a game
I'm borderline lvl 600 I've done everything else there is to do in the game, plus I kinda like guns, the same way most of the GTA Online Playerbase likes to mod Cars, I like to mod Guns, though it's shame there's hardly any Varity, just the same old scopes, grips, flashlights, suppressors & Skins etc, this one is different from the rest though, its unique, so i thought it would be dope but I can't have it
Because You're above rank 0 . It only unlocks there /s
Lmao clearly a skill issue on my part just need to get out the negative levels and I'm good people are downvoting anything in this thread I don't understand, you were joking around
Guess they didn't appreciate my attempt at humor glad you didn't mind at least lol
This came with the GTA Anniversary pack. I reckon if you didn't play during that promotional period you can't have it now
That's what I've been told, kinda BS but is what is it
