Access to gun cars are possible to the player as soon as they are granted the ability to organize outings with a friend who specializes in selling weapons. | Access to gun cars are possible to the player as soon as they are granted the ability to organize outings with a friend who specializes in selling weapons. Depending on the conditions set by the games (see [[#List of gun cars]] for further information), the player will unlock the ability to request for a gun car via their [[Phone|mobile phone]]; they are notified of this via a phone call from the aforementioned friend, informing that they can now call for weapons. | ||
Once unlocked, a gun car can be called in by selecting the friend's name on the mobile phone's Phonebook, followed by "Gun Car". The player character verbally requests for the gun car, and the friend responds by notifying where they will be waiting for the player. The game then marks the location of the gun car on the map, to which point the player may proceed to the gun car. often times, the meetup point is located in an isolated location such as an alleyway or vacant land, illustrating the covert nature of the business. It should be noted that the friend will only wait for the player for several in-game hours before they decide to leave; there is however no penalty imposed on their friendship for this. | Once unlocked, a gun car can be called in by selecting the friend's name on the mobile phone's Phonebook, followed by "Gun Car".

Upon arrival at the gun car, the player may interact with the friend in order to access the selection of items available for purchase. Much like regular gun shops, the player must pay more for a replacement firearm, but pay less if they simply wish to buy additional ammunition for a firearm in hand. The range of items on offer will also be expanded only after the player progresses in the storyline, preventing the player from acquiring overpowered firepower early in the game. | Upon arrival at the gun car, the player may interact with the friend in order to access the selection of items available for purchase, usually encompassing the entire library of weapons in the game. Much like regular gun shops, the player must pay more for a replacement firearm, but pay less if they simply wish to buy additional ammunition for a firearm in hand; however, purchases from gun cars have the added benefit of being 60% cheaper than those from gun shops, serving as a more practical method of weapon purchases.
