GTA VI Weapons Guide

Weapons are a major part of the Grand Theft Auto experience, and GTA VI looks set to build on the combat systems seen in previous games.

Official trailers and gameplay footage have already shown a variety of firearms and close-quarters encounters, although Rockstar has not yet revealed the complete weapon roster.

Handguns have appeared throughout official GTA VI footage.

They are likely to remain useful for everyday encounters, vehicle pursuits and situations where carrying a larger weapon would not be practical.

The full selection of pistols available at launch has not yet been confirmed.

Official footage has also shown characters using larger firearms during criminal operations and confrontations.

These weapons appear to play an important role during robberies, shootouts and encounters with law enforcement.

Rockstar has yet to publish a complete list of assault rifles, carbines or other long guns.

Not every confrontation in GTA VI involves firearms.

Official footage has shown physical fights and close-range encounters, suggesting that hand-to-hand combat will continue to be an important part of gameplay.

Improved character animations and movement should make these encounters feel more dynamic than in previous games.

Criminal activities are central to GTA VI's story, meaning weapons are closely connected to the game's robberies and other operations.

Jason and Lucia have been shown using firearms during dangerous situations, while their criminal activities can attract the attention of law enforcement.

The exact planning and weapon-selection systems for robberies have not yet been fully revealed.

Weapons also play an important role when dealing with police.

Official footage has shown armed confrontations and police responses to criminal activity across Leonida.

The game's law-enforcement systems appear to be more reactive and detailed, although Rockstar has not yet explained every change to the wanted system.

GTA VI appears to place greater emphasis on realistic character movement and weapon handling.

However, Rockstar has not yet confirmed the full extent of weapon customisation.

It remains unclear exactly which weapons can be modified, how many attachments will be available and how deeply players will be able to customise their loadouts.

Rockstar has not published a complete official weapons list.

The total number of weapons, available attachments, customisation options and any new weapon mechanics remain unknown.

As Rockstar reveals more information, GTA Vault will update this guide with confirmed weapons and gameplay details.
