Once you have chosen a store, go inside and find the gun section. Select the gun you want and buy it. Ammu-Nation also gives you ammo once the weapon is purchased.
2. Looting From NPCs or Gangs
This task can be challenging. You could try to identify suspicious NPCs or visit gang territories to increase your loot chances.
Looting is not 100% sure, to be honest. Looting can give you guns and money, but sometimes it gives you nothing. Also, be sure you’re ready for cops and angry gang members.
