GTA 6 Weapons: What's Confirmed So Far and What to Expect

Rockstar's trailers show characters carrying pistols, a pump-action shotgun, a sub-machine gun, and what appears to be a scoped rifle during robbery and shootout scenes. These are visual confirmations of weapon categories, not a published list.

The Ultimate Edition description promises 'premium weapons' woven through Jason and Lucia's story, which confirms that some weapons are tied to edition-based content rather than the base roster alone.

Grand Theft Auto V shipped with a weapon wheel covering pistols, sub-machine guns, assault and sniper rifles, shotguns, heavy weapons and melee tools, later expanded through GTA Online updates. Red Dead Redemption 2 added weapon degradation, cleaning, and deeper customization.

Given Rockstar's own development pattern, a comparable or larger category spread is a reasonable expectation for GTA VI, but expectation is not the same as an announced feature list.

The Florida-inspired setting, wetland traversal, and closer character-driven robbery sequences raise plausible questions about context-specific tools—improvised weapons, animal encounters, or environment-based takedowns—that outlets have speculated about without a Rockstar source.

Until a gameplay overview or weapon-wheel screenshot is published directly by Rockstar, treat any 'leaked weapon list' as unverified, especially ones sourced from anonymous forum posts rather than dated official media.

Once GTA VI ships, we will document each weapon by category, acquisition method, and platform, cross-checked against in-game menus rather than promotional footage alone.
