> GTA 6 weapons so far: Jason's Girardi ES9, Lucia's Klose K17, the Hawk & Little Morgan revolvers and Duke 556, plus the loadout that replaces the wheel.

**Quick answer:** Rockstar has named **Jason's Girardi ES9, Lucia's Klose K17 and the Hawk & Little Morgan revolvers**, and the Extended Look showed a **Duke 556** rifle. Previews say the weapon wheel is replaced by a **loadout of two handguns and two long guns**, with the rest stored in your vehicle.

| Key fact | |
| --- | --- |
| Jason's pistol | Girardi ES9 (confirmed) |
| Lucia's pistol | Klose K17 (confirmed) |
| Revolvers | Hawk & Little Morgan (confirmed) |
| Rifle seen | Duke 556 (reported) |
| Carry limit | 2 handguns + 2 long guns (reported) |
| Auto-aim | Off by default (reported) |

Rockstar has officially named only a few GTA 6 weapons, all on its edition and pre-order pages: **Jason's Girardi ES9 pistol, Lucia's Klose K17 pistol, and the Hawk & Little Morgan revolvers** <span class="tag-confirmed">confirmed</span>. The [[media/gta-6-extended-look|Extended Look]] added a **Duke 556** assault rifle <span class="tag-reported">reported</span>.

The bigger change is how you carry them. Previews say the classic weapon wheel is gone, replaced by a **limited loadout of two handguns and two long guns**, with everything else stored in your vehicle <span class="tag-reported">reported</span>.

## What weapons are confirmed in GTA 6?

| Weapon | Type | Who / where | Source | Grade |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Girardi ES9 | Pistol | Jason's sidearm | Rockstar edition pages | <span class="tag-confirmed">confirmed</span> |
| Klose K17 | Pistol | Lucia's sidearm | Rockstar edition pages | <span class="tag-confirmed">confirmed</span> |
| Hawk & Little Morgan | Revolvers | "Sourced from the Vercetti Estate" | Rockstar edition pages | <span class="tag-confirmed">confirmed</span> |
| Duke 556 | Assault rifle | Shown in the Extended Look | Engadget | <span class="tag-reported">reported</span> |

Rockstar also offers a **tropical weapon pattern** "inspired by Tommy Vercetti's iconic palm tree button-up" <span class="tag-confirmed">confirmed</span>. That and the Vercetti Estate revolvers are nods to 2002's Vice City; neither means Tommy appears. Which edition or pre-order pack includes each item is covered on [[release/gta-6-pre-order-bonuses|pre-order bonuses]] and [[release/gta-6-price-and-editions|price and editions]].

Rockstar hasn't published a full weapon list, and there's no official count.

## Does GTA 6 have a weapon wheel?

Not as before. Per Red Bull, Engadget and Edge <span class="tag-reported">reported</span>:

- You carry **two handguns and two long guns**.
- Only **one long gun is visible on your back** at a time.
- The rest of your arsenal lives **in your vehicle**, much like RDR2's horse storage.
- Car **trunks** store weapons, outfits and even people.

So planning matters: if you leave your car behind, you leave most of your guns with it. Button layouts and slot details are on [[guides/gta-6-controls-and-weapon-slots|controls and weapon slots]].

## Do police react to you carrying a gun?

Civilians do; police don't automatically. Previews say a visibly carried weapon changes how NPCs react, but doesn't on its own bring the cops <span class="tag-reported">reported</span>. Police respond to witnesses, alarms and trackers. See [[gameplay/gta-6-wanted-system-and-heat|the wanted system]].

## How does aiming and combat work in GTA 6?

The reported changes from the previews <span class="tag-reported">reported</span>:

| Feature | What it does |
| --- | --- |
| Auto-aim off by default | Free aim is the starting setting |
| Focus mode | Slow motion that highlights enemy weak points |
| Vitals targeting | Allows non-lethal disarms |
| Heavier recoil and weight | Guns kick harder and feel heavier |
| Killcam | Engadget compares it to Max Payne 3 |
| Lootable police cars | You can take gear from cop cars |

**Focus** was shown with [[characters/jason-duval|Jason]], and Engadget likens it to Michael's slow-motion ability in GTA 5. It's unclear whether [[characters/lucia-caminos|Lucia]] shares it <span class="tag-reported">reported</span>. PC Gamer's Christopher Livingston wrote that Extended Look viewers favored Lucia for her "creative takedowns", and her official bio says her father "taught her to fight as soon as she could walk" <span class="tag-confirmed">confirmed</span>.

## Where do you buy guns in GTA 6?

**Ammu-Nation** is back, at least as a brand: Trailer 2 shows an Ammu-Nation ad featuring a Phil Cassidy lookalike, possibly his son, per Den of Geek <span class="tag-reported">reported</span>. Fan claims that this is Phil Cassidy himself are unsourced to Rockstar <span class="tag-rumour">rumour</span>. See [[characters/returning-characters-and-cameos|returning characters]].

Shooting ranges are listed among activities <span class="tag-reported">reported</span>. Rockstar hasn't explained weapon prices or customization.

## Can you play non-lethally?

Partly. Vitals targeting allows non-lethal disarms <span class="tag-reported">reported</span>, and your **Criminal Profile**, which runs from Professional to Irredeemable, affects the story <span class="tag-reported">reported</span>. Whether sparing people moves that meter hasn't been confirmed. See [[gameplay/gta-6-criminal-profile|Criminal Profile]].

## What combat has Rockstar shown so far?

| Footage | What it shows | Grade |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Trailer 2 (May 2025) | An Ammu-Nation ad with a Phil Cassidy lookalike | <span class="tag-reported">reported</span> |
| Trailer 2 | A bank robbery at a "City National Bank"-style branch, per fan wikis | <span class="tag-rumour">rumour</span> |
| Extended Look (Aug 2026) | The Duke 556 rifle, Focus slow motion, a Max Payne 3-style killcam | <span class="tag-reported">reported</span> |
| Extended Look | Jason and Lucia driving the getaway for Raul's robbery | <span class="tag-reported">reported</span> |
| Extended Look | A security job at Megamundo's first US headquarters that ends in an armed robbery | <span class="tag-reported">reported</span> |

Shot-by-shot detail is on [[media/gta-6-trailer-2|Trailer 2]]. Story context for those jobs is on [[characters/raul-bautista|Raul Bautista]] and [[characters/extended-look-characters|Extended Look characters]].

## How should you plan your loadout?

Rockstar hasn't published advice, so this is our reading of the reported rules <span class="tag-speculation">speculation</span>:

- **Pick your long guns before you leave the car.** Only two long guns travel with you, and only one sits on your back.
- **Park close on big jobs.** Your spare arsenal is in the vehicle, so a car left blocks away is a resupply you can't reach.
- **Mind the trunk.** It also holds outfits, which matter for losing a police description.
- **Try free aim early.** Auto-aim starts off, so check the settings before your first firefight.

## What weapons are rumoured?

Any other weapon name you see attached to GTA 6 right now comes from fan IDs of trailer stills or leak footage. None beyond the four above has a Rockstar name or a press identification we could verify, so we don't list them <span class="tag-rumour">rumour</span>. Older leak material is covered under [[leaks/index|leaks]].

## What we're watching
