GTA 6 Weapons List: All Confirmed Guns, Gear And Inventory System Explained

GTA 6 borrows its inventory logic from Red Dead Redemption 2 and forces tactical loadout choices before every mission. Rockstar Games has confirmed multiple major mechanical changes:

• Carry limit -> Maximum 2 rifles and 2 handguns on your person, no more infinite pocket arsenal from GTA 5.
• Vehicle trunk storage -> Spare weapons live in your trunk, with Jason and Lucia shown pulling guns straight from the back of the car in trailer footage.
• Weapons Locker garage -> The Vercetti Estate (Ultimate Edition) garage comes with a dedicated locker for customizing your loadout before each ride.
• Redesigned 3-tier weapon wheel -> Switch between Weapons, Equipment, and Gear via the R1/RB button, directly inspired by Red Dead Redemption 2.
• Shared inventory for Jason and Lucia -> Certain items and weapons get tagged as « Shared » and are accessible across both protagonists.
• Duffel Bag slot -> Dedicated slot for hauling robbery loot, possibly extra weapons too.
• Drop and pickup mechanics -> You can drop unwanted weapons mid-mission, with dedicated animations for picking them back up.
• Hand switching -> Fire left-handed or right-handed to wrap around cover without exposing yourself.
• Swimming combat -> Weapons now work underwater, something GTA 5 never allowed.
• Drive-by overhaul -> Stand in pickup beds or lean out of windows for proper drive-bys with assault rifles.
• Under-fire animations -> Block animations that vary depending on the weapon you’re carrying during a shootout.
• Dynamic NPC reactions -> Auto-holster kicks in around bystanders, who panic when a weapon comes out in public.
• Deep customization -> Magazines, optics, tints, liveries, and special rounds like Heavy Ammo, Spear Ammo, and Rockets.
• Weapon acquisition -> Ammu-Nation shops, free pickups across the map, and unlocks through story missions.
• First-person aiming -> Full first-person mode with bespoke reload and shooting animations, building on GTA 5‘s enhanced edition.
