Weapon Features
Enhanced Drive-By
As a passenger, you can stand and shoot from outside the window or from the bed of a truck. This allows using weapons such as Assault Rifles during drive-bys.
Shoot While Swimming
You can shoot while swimming, a first for the series. This opens up underwater combat scenarios with the new Speargun.
Redesigned Weapon Wheel
The Weapon Wheel works similarly to RDR2, with dedicated slots for Weapons, Equipment, and Gear. Switch between them with R1 or RB.
Limited Carry Capacity
You can carry two rifles and two pistols at once. Extra weapons are stored in your vehicle trunk, similar to Red Dead Redemption 2.
Switch Hands
You can switch hands when carrying or shooting a weapon, meaning you can decide to shoot with your left hand instead of your right.
Shared Inventory
Some weapons and items are referred to as "Shared," possibly meaning there is both an individual and a shared inventory between the two protagonists.
This page tracks every weapon confirmed for GTA 6 so far. The list includes guns spotted in official trailers, screenshots, and the September 2022 leaked footage. We cover handguns, shotguns, machine guns, assault rifles, sniper rifles, heavy weapons, thrown weapons, and melee weapons.
Each weapon entry shows the in-game name, the real-life firearm it is based on, and where it was first seen. Weapons marked as "NEW" were revealed in later trailers or official material after the initial batch.
We update this page whenever Rockstar releases new footage or screenshots. If a new weapon shows up in a trailer, screenshot, or official post, it gets added here with all the details we can gather.
Weapon Customization
Weapon customization is confirmed for GTA 6. The Carbine Rifle Mk II appearing in the confirmed list suggests the Mk II upgrade system is returning from GTA Online. You can expect magazine upgrades, attachments, tints, liveries, and special ammunition types.
A More Realistic Arsenal
GTA 6 takes a more grounded approach to weapons than GTA V. The limited carry capacity, vehicle trunk storage, and the ability to drop unwanted weapons all point toward a system that values realism over convenience. NPCs will also react if you walk around with your weapon drawn, prompting Jason or Lucia to automatically hide it in populated areas.
