GUN MENU | Inspired by CS 2

GUN MENU - Counter-Strike 2 Inspired Weapon Selection System

The GUN MENU brings the iconic Counter-Strike buy menu experience to FiveM with a modern, polished interface inspired by CS2's design language. This isn't just another weapon shop script - it's a complete weapon acquisition system featuring intuitive categorization, detailed weapon statistics, budget management, and the satisfying interaction flow that makes CS weapon buying so engaging.

Perfect for servers emphasizing tactical gameplay, competitive scenarios, or modern military/law enforcement themes, this menu transforms weapon acquisition from mundane inventory management into an engaging tactical decision. The familiar CS-inspired design creates instant comfort for players while bringing professional polish to your weapon systems.

Interface Design and User Experience

The GUN MENU faithfully captures Counter-Strike's design philosophy - clear information hierarchy, instant comprehension, and zero wasted time. Weapons organize into logical categories (pistols, SMGs, rifles, heavy weapons, equipment) with immediately recognizable iconography. Each weapon displays crucial stats including damage, accuracy, fire rate, and price, allowing informed purchasing decisions.

The color scheme and layout echo CS2's modern aesthetic with clean lines, subtle gradients, and proper use of negative space. The interface doesn't overwhelm players with information while still providing everything needed for tactical weapon selection. Transitions are smooth and responsive, maintaining the snappy feel that makes CS menus satisfying to use.

Core Features and Functionality

• Category-Based Organization - Weapons group into pistols, SMGs, assault rifles, sniper rifles, shotguns, and heavy weapons. Navigation is intuitive matching player mental models from decades of FPS gaming.
• Detailed Weapon Statistics - Each weapon shows damage ratings, accuracy metrics, fire rate, magazine capacity, and effective range. Players make informed tactical choices rather than guessing.
• Budget Management System - Real-time display of available funds with clear pricing for each weapon. Prevents overspending while showing what upgrades are affordable.
• Equipment and Utility - Beyond firearms, purchase armor, medical supplies, tactical gear, and utility items through the same interface. Complete loadout management in one location.
• Weapon Comparison - Side-by-side stat comparison helps players choose between similar weapons. Understand the trade-offs between damage and accuracy, or fire rate and recoil control.
• Loadout Presets - Save favorite weapon combinations as presets for quick purchasing. Create sniper loadout, close quarters, or role-specific configurations.
• Owned Weapons Display - Clear indication of currently owned weapons prevents double-purchasing and helps track inventory during extended sessions.
• Sound Effects - Satisfying purchase confirmations and UI feedback sounds complete the CS-inspired experience. Audio cues provide instant feedback without requiring visual confirmation.

Weapon Categorization and Balance

The menu supports comprehensive weapon libraries organized by tactical role and price tier. Eco rounds feature budget pistols and SMGs, force buys include mid-tier rifles and shotguns, while full buys access premium assault rifles and specialized weapons. This economic structure creates the strategic depth that makes CS weapon buying more than mere shopping.

Server owners have complete control over weapon availability, pricing, statistics, and categorization through the config file. Balance your economy by adjusting prices, restrict certain weapons to specific jobs or factions, or create unique weapon tiers matching your server's theme and gameplay style.

Perfect For These Server Types

• Competitive PvP Servers - Strategic weapon economy creates tactical depth in combat scenarios
• Military Roleplay - Organized weapon acquisition fits military operation procedures
• Law Enforcement Servers - Structured equipment rooms and armory systems
• Gang/Faction Warfare - Economic weapon systems create meaningful resource management
• Battle Royale Modes - Pre-match weapon selection and loadout customization
• Tactical Gamemodes - Round-based gameplay with economic consequences

Configuration and Customization

The comprehensive config system allows deep customization matching your server's specific needs. Define available weapons and their stats, set pricing for each item and equipment piece, configure which jobs/factions can access which weapons, establish spawn locations for weapon shops or armories, customize UI colors and branding to match server theme, and enable/disable specific features based on gameplay requirements.

Advanced configuration options include weapon stat multipliers for server-wide balance adjustments, economic scaling factors matching your server's income levels, cooldown systems preventing spam purchases, and integration hooks for custom inventory and economy systems.

Framework Integration

• ✅ ESX Legacy - Full integration with ESX inventory, money, and job systems
• ✅ QBCore - Native QB-Core compatibility with proper weapon and item handling
• ✅ Standalone - Can operate with custom inventory and economy implementations
• ✅ ox_inventory - Compatible with popular advanced inventory system

The menu integrates with framework money systems for transactions, respects job-based access restrictions, works with inventory weight and slot systems, and syncs with weapon attachment/modification systems. Integration is seamless rather than requiring extensive custom bridging code.

Security and Anti-Exploit

GUN MENU implements server-side validation for all purchases preventing client-side manipulation. Price verification ensures players can't modify weapon costs, inventory checks prevent exceeding capacity limits, permission validation stops unauthorized weapon access, and transaction logging creates audit trails for investigating suspicious activity.

The system detects and prevents common exploits like rapid purchase spam, negative price manipulation, purchasing with insufficient funds, and accessing restricted weapons through client manipulation. These protections work invisibly, maintaining immersion while preventing the technical exploits that can devastate server economies.

Performance Optimization

The GUN MENU maintains excellent performance through efficient rendering and minimal network overhead. The UI only loads when opened preventing idle resource consumption, weapon data caches locally reducing database queries, purchase transactions use optimized network events, and the interface renders at consistent 60 FPS even with extensive weapon catalogs.

Memory usage is minimal through proper asset management and cleanup. Players can open and close the menu repeatedly without memory leaks or performance degradation - crucial for gamemode scenarios involving frequent weapon purchasing.

Weapon Statistics System

The stat display system helps players understand weapon characteristics through clear visualizations.

These stats can reflect actual FiveM weapon characteristics or be customized to match your server's weapon balance systems. The visual presentation helps players make informed choices even if underlying game mechanics differ from displayed values.

Mobile and Gamepad Support

While optimized for keyboard and mouse navigation matching the CS experience, GUN MENU includes gamepad support for controller players. Navigation uses intuitive button mapping, and the interface adapts to controller input without losing functionality. All features remain accessible regardless of input method.

This unified experience prevents players from navigating multiple systems for complete loadout customization.
