GTA 6 Weapons: Common Queries and Answers
How To Acquire Weapons in GTA 6?
- In Grand Theft Auto 6, acquiring weapons follows the tradition of the series, offering multiple methods:
- Melee weapons and basic firearms can often be discovered scattered across the map, available for the taking.
- However, for a wider arsenal, most weapons will be available for purchase at the numerous Ammu-Nation shops scattered throughout the game.
- Additionally, certain weapons are likely to be unlocked as rewards for completing specific story missions.
How many weapons can you carry at once in GTA 6?
In GTA 6, weapons you acquire will be accessible via a revamped Weapon Wheel, which now includes options to switch between Weapons, Equipment, and Gear, much like the system in Red Dead Redemption 2.
Similar to RDR2, GTA 6 appears to limit the number of weapons you can store in the Weapon Wheel, as opposed to the infinite inventory seen in GTA V.
Leaked footage reveals the protagonist wielding a Pistol while carrying a Rifle on their back, suggesting that GTA 6 will feature a more realistic weapon inventory system. Extra firearms might need to be stored in your personal vehicle.
Additionally, GTA 6 will include the ability to drop unwanted weapons and dedicated animations for picking them up.
Will GTA 6 Feature Weapon Customization?
Definitely. Weapon customization is confirmed for GTA 6.
Given its success in Grand Theft Auto V, players can look forward to a robust system for upgrading and personalizing their weapons in GTA 6. Expect to see a variety of modifications, including Magazines, Attachments, Tints, Liveries, and special ammunition.
Will GTA 6 Have First-Person Shooting?
We predict that GTA 6 will indeed feature first-person shooting.
While the earlier GTA games were strictly third-person, this changed with the PS4, Xbox One, and PC editions of Grand Theft Auto V, which introduced a comprehensive first-person mode.
We expect GTA 6 to include both third-person and first-person perspectives from the start, featuring FPS mechanics, fully modeled weapons, and specialized first-person animations for moving, shooting, and reloading.
Additionally, a new feature confirmed for GTA 6 is the ability to switch hands when carrying or shooting a weapon, allowing players to choose between shooting with their left or right hand.
How Many Weapons Will Be in GTA 6?
While we can’t pinpoint the exact number of weapons that will be in GTA 6, it’s clear that each installment in the series has progressively included more weapons, and we expect GTA 6 to follow this trend.
Here’s a look at the weapon counts from previous games in the series for comparison:
- GTA III: 12 weapons
- GTA Vice City: 33 weapons
- GTA San Andreas: 37 weapons
- GTA IV & Episodes: 30 weapons
- GTA 5 at Launch: 37 weapons
- GTA 5 + GTA Online: 98 weapons
- RDR2 at Launch: 63 weapons
- RDR2 + Red Dead Online: 81 weapons
GTA 5 started with 37 weapons but eventually expanded to nearly 100 with additional DLCs. Given this pattern, we can anticipate that GTA 6 will launch with an even larger arsenal.
In GTA 5, weapons were categorized into Handguns, Shotguns, Machine Guns, Assault Rifles, Thrown Weapons, Melee, and more. It’s likely that GTA 6 will feature a similar, if not more extensive, classification system with a greater variety of weapons available from the start.
