Overview

Combat is a core part of IM:RP, whether you are defending yourself, participating in faction wars, or working in law enforcement. This page covers how to obtain weapons, manage your license, and use combat-related items and mechanics.

Obtaining Weapons

There are three ways to get guns:

1. Legal gun shops -- Purchase from Ammu-Nation stores in Los Santos (requires a valid weapon license)
2. Crafting -- Weapons can be crafted from materials at faction warehouses
3. Other players -- Buy directly from dealers or through advertisements

Weapon License

You need a weapon license to buy from legal gun shops. You need 4 RPoints to be eligible. Visit the Police Department (use /gps to find it) and purchase one with /weaponlicense.

Cost Escalation

Each time your license is revoked, the replacement cost increases:

Sniper Rifle

To purchase or carry a sniper rifle, you must be Tier 0 or Tier 1 in a faction -- either legal or illegal.

Weapon Materials

Materials are the core ingredient for crafting weapons. They are produced by combining lead and metal at a warehouse controlled by an illegal faction. Civilians cannot craft materials themselves.

• Metal is sourced from the Las Venturas Quarry
• Lead is sourced from the San Fierro ship
• Materials can also appear in gift boxes during the Christmas event

There is no fixed market price for materials -- prices vary based on supply and demand. Purchase materials from other players through in-game trades.

Weapon Configuration

Use /quickbuy or /qb to open the Ammu-Nation Quick-Buy Settings. This lets you configure a preset weapon loadout for fast purchasing at gun shops.

For legal faction members, go to a legal spawn location and use /givegun config to set which weapons auto-equip when using /givegun.

Healing & Armor

• Healing: Enter an open house and use /heal to restore HP. Cost is $1,000-$1,500 per use.
• Armor: Purchase armor at an Ammu-Nation store (requires a valid weapon license). Some houses also have the armor system -- see Houses for details.
• Drugs: You may use drugs to heal during combat, but only when you have clearly escaped from your enemy. See Server Rules for the full healing-in-fights rule.

Localisation Device

The localisation beacon sends a backup request (shown as a red marker) to your faction members. Purchase one from a hardware store.

Breaking Cuffs

To free a cuffed player, you need a cuff pick from a hardware store. Use /hardware to find the nearest one, purchase a cuff pick with /buy, then approach the cuffed player and use /breakcuffs.

Civilians & Allies in Wars

During a faction war, strict rules apply to non-combatants:

Allied factions may:

• Provide duplicate keys to businesses, houses, and vehicles
• Supply materials or drugs
• Take territories from warring factions (but not directly attack)

Allied factions may NOT:

• Interfere in active gunfights or getaways
• Launch direct attacks on warring factions

Civilians may NOT:

• Assist in any way during a faction war
