Orbital Cannon : Should it be removed or limited on the Missiles that you can use?

[Tahlavos17]

Hello,

I've seen on YouTube that calls for the removal of the Orbital Cannon after the recent News Wire update from Rockstar Games, and it has me wondering, Should the Orbital Cannon be nerffed by limited to like 5 - 10 missiles then the user has to order new missiles to be shipped and delivered to your Orbital Cannon and it takes 3 - 4 in game weeks (The player must be on for it to count), or Should the Orbital Cannon be out right removed??

Edit: The 5 - 10 missiles part is the number of missiles that the Orbital cannon can use before it needs to be re-supplied. Nothing about the Orbital Cannon Changes in terms of shots used per 48 mins, just the number of Missiles the Orbital Can can hold now is reduced.

And that will not fix the issue since they can still bypass it even then , if they can bypass the 48min then bypassing 3 weeks for them would be the same .
Also most menus have a feature ( become a orbital cannon) meaning if they shoot you even with a gun it will say they used the cannon on you .

I don't see how extending the time limit to what has been suggested would help since like you said cheaters use it meaning they will still be able to use it .

That's why it should be removed from freeroam altogether and the code for it to be used in freeroam needs to be deleted. As for the Act 3 doomsday finale the code for using the cannon needs to be reworked

And how exactly is this going to solve the cheating situation ? The cheater will still blow you up or still kill everyone in the session or Will still use NoClip and explosive projectiles . Even if they remove it nothing will change beacause of that , if they deleted the code then people would just use LUA scripts to bring a missing feature back via mods . They would have to completely delete the code and remove it from the game . The game is peer to peer and if a snippet of code remains somewhere it will be used and abused .

First: orbital cannon will never be removed, it is tied to gameplay and has achievement related to it.

Second: I approve the idea of a nerf, but limiting shots to such an extend doesn't really make sense, it should be nerfed on its current flaws, for instance:

- every shot should cost 1m straight;
- no automatic targeting at all, if you miss you miss;
- absolutely no refund and instant cooldown on missed shot/kill (that alone is the single most braindead feature it has).

The exploit of orbital spam is related to the automatic targeting so removing it in first place should help with that.

I rarely see people use this in sessions maybe 3-4 times a week and even then it is used against a tryhards who went abusing others , the cooldown of 48min is sufficient enough for it . You write like it's a constant orbital cannon war in sessions and people use it nonstop .

That's exactly what it is. Cheaters can bypass the cooldown and orbital you every second

Thank you Zorga, precisely right. The problem with MK2 , orbital cannon, etc is they are enabling tools for hackers who then completely override the original settings and use these weapons of mass destruction to screw the entire session.

Beside, what the game should be is about getting out and being part of the environment, not sitting in a basement shooting people all over the entire map with an invincible cannon.

I never understood the concept behind the orbital cannon.

What we actually need are not crazy weapons, but perhaps cool toys that are awesome defense tools like a car that suddenly goes invisible for 60 seconds, or an outfit or camo gear that can go ghost for a time, etc. Defensive tools don't get abused nearly as much and are useful for everyone.

Just a thought, but YES I agree get rid of the orbital mass destruction tool.

People with modmenu don't have to be in the facility to use the orbital cannon strike just so you know .

And to go invisible you have ghost organization for 2+ minutes .

It will never be removed tho it is tied to the achievements.

Achivements can easily be removed. Also it is no longer possible to obtain "Numero Uno" achivement
