GTA V Online: News And Thoughts At Rank 120

I’ve surpassed the Rank 120 milestone, and unlocked the last rank-restricted weapon:  The Minigun.  I’d used it before, because you can get it in certain jobs and missions, plus the random special prize boxes that drop.  It is a very powerful weapon, but uses too much ammo to make it economical to use instead of …
