The weapon wheel

The weapon wheel
Extended Look · snt-00161 · ~15:57.71 · usable frame

One frame of the Extended Look has more information in it than any other: the weapon wheel, open, with three meters, two money balances, six wanted stars and a set of consumables on the face buttons.

The wheel is not a radial dial but eight slots arranged around a centre. At 15:57 a pistol sits in the top slot with 10 rounds in the magazine and 29 in reserve, a Molotov sits to the upper left with a count of 1, and fists are selected and highlighted. The centre reads UNARMED, and the label beneath it names the category of whatever is selected. Most of the slots are empty, drawn as a plus sign.

Along the top runs a tab switcher on R1: WEAPONS and ITEMS. The ITEMS side is the disguise wheel and has its own page here.

Top left are three meters, and this is where the frame earns its place. A heart, part depleted and segmented. A lightning bolt, full. And an eye, full. A health bar and a stamina bar are familiar; a meter marked with an eye is not, and nothing in the material says what it measures.

Bottom left sit two consumables with button prompts: a red pill bottle with a count of 2 and a heart icon, assigned to square, and a syringe with a count of 2 and a gold heart, assigned to triangle. Top right, beside six wanted stars of which four are lit, are two money figures with different icons — $15,150 beside a purple circular badge and $3,146 beside a green wallet. In a later frame at 17:50 the green figure has dropped to $700 while the purple one has not moved.

How to recognise it

  • Eight slots around a centre, not a radial dial
  • R1 switches between a WEAPONS tab and an ITEMS tab
  • Three meters: a heart, a lightning bolt and an eye
  • Two money balances with different icons, one of which changes and one of which does not
  • Six wanted stars drawn in full, four of them lit
  • Two consumables on square and triangle, each with a count

The frame it comes from

The frame is Extended Look at ~15:57.71. It is 1920 by 1080, and the vehicle occupies 1920 by 1080 of it.

What we still do not know

  • What the eye meter measures
  • Which balance is cash and which is a bank or an app
  • What the two consumables are, beyond that both carry a heart
  • Whether the eight slots are fixed or whether the wheel grows
