Quick Answer
Grand Theft Auto VI replaces GTA V's infinite pocket weapon wheel with Red Dead Redemption 2's realistic physical weapon loadout. Characters can only carry two concealed sidearms on their person; long guns (rifles, shotguns) must be slung visibly across the shoulder or retrieved from vehicle trunks.
Physical Weapon Inventory Restrictions
Recent gameplay leaks confirmed that Rockstar Games is prioritizing tactical realism for GTA 6.
- 2x Concealed Sidearms: Pistols, revolvers, compact SMGs, and knives concealed under jackets without alarming civilians.
- 2x Visible Long Guns: Rifles and shotguns slung across shoulders that trigger NPC panic and police citations if openly carried.
- Car Trunk Armories: Full weapon arsenals are stored in vehicle trunks, requiring players to prepare loadouts before missions.
