The weapon system is getting an overhaul!
It appears that Rockstar Games has made some huge changes & overhaul when it comes to the GTA 6 weapon system. This information was revealed by the content creators who experienced the gameplay preview at Rockstar North.
The developers have redesigned the weapon system and it will deliver a more realistic and immersive combat experience compared to GTA 5. Let’s check out more details in this article.

GTA 6 weapon system & limited inventory
This will not be like GTA 5, where you can carry an entire arsenal all at once on your character. Instead, your character reportedly will be limited in the items that he can carry.
You can equip four weapons at a time:
- Two long-range weapons
- One handgun
- One melee weapon
If you want additional firearms, you can store them inside a vehicle trunk or at your hideout. This will be similar to the inventory system that was available in Red Dead Redemption 2.
Realistic combat, weapon handling & customization
GTA 6 weapon system has been improved and there are also several realism-focused improvements in combat as well.
According to content creators, the auto-aim has been removed. Skills will play an important role.
Sights that have zoom functionality will automatically zoom the camera to first-person shooting mode, although it is possible to disable this.
NPCs will react more. You can’t move around openly with a weapon in your hand without drawing attention from nearby NPCs.
Weapon persistence is also a feature. The weapon you drop will remain in the world, instead of disappearing after a short period.
The weapons are also going to feature manufacturer names and caliber designations. You can also modify the weapons and both Jason & Lucia will have their own unique weapon customization options and animations.

Can you rob every store in GTA 6?
According to TGG, who experienced the early preview at Rockstar North, the robbery system has also received a huge upgrade.
Players can rob almost every store across Leonida. This will include convenience stores, jewelry shops, and even banks.
The loot may then be traded to criminal fences to make money; in some cases, it may be said that it is even used in story progression to earn money by robbery.
