GTA VI weapons: the confirmed and the seen

Confirmed

The three weapons with official names

They come from the Ultimate Edition's PlayStation Store description, so they're Rockstar's own facts rather than readings of a trailer. The Hawk & Little Morgan revolver comes in two versions, one for each protagonist, with palm-tree-etched grips, engraved detailing and a high-performance scope. The personalized sidearms are Jason's Girardi ES9 and Lucia's Klose K17, each with its own engraving. And in every copy pre-ordered before November 20, 2026, the Vintage Vice City Pack adds a tropical pattern taken from Tommy Vercetti's shirt that applies to most guns: the first confirmation that finishes exist.

Confirmed

What the official video shows

Grand Theft Auto VI: An Extended Look, which premiered on August 27, 2026, has two shots that matter here. At 17:50 a menu appears with WEAPONS and ITEMS tabs; at 18:31, a shooting range counts remaining targets, time and a bonus for an instant knockdown. Everything else is third-party counting, not Rockstar's: PC Gamer identified 19 distinct firearms across the trailers and official screenshots, and gtaside reads two more names on screen, the Moreland 850 shotgun and the Duke 556 assault rifle. That's why each one carries its source badge in the weapons list, and neither of those two is listed as official.

Expectation

What gets taken for granted and nobody has confirmed

Three ideas circulate off that few-second menu: that there'll be a limit on what you carry, that the rest will go in the car boot, and that weapons will get dirty and lose performance as in Red Dead Redemption 2. Rockstar has confirmed none of them. The menu proves an interface exists for equipping weapons and items, and nothing more. The precedent also points the other way: no GTA has ever degraded weapons, and in GTA V they neither get dirty nor need cleaning. The Red Dead comparison is the community's, not Rockstar's.

The wheel and Ammu-Nation in GTA V

In GTA IV you changed weapon by cycling through categories with a button. GTA V brought the wheel: eight sectors by type (melee, pistols, submachine guns, shotguns, rifles, sniper, heavy and thrown) opened by holding a trigger, with time slowed while you pick. The gun shops, called Ammu-Nation since GTA III, doubled as the workshop: scopes, suppressors, grips, extended magazines, flashlights and finishes, with liveries in GTA Online. They also had a shooting range with challenges per weapon type and medals, the same scheme of targets, time and bonus seen in GTA VI's video.

In the series

Skill: from San Andreas to GTA V

San Andreas tracked a skill per weapon that rose as you fired and stepped up through levels to a hitman rank: at that rank, some pistols and SMGs could be dual-wielded and fired on the run. GTA V cut it down to a single shooting stat per character that improves with use and tightens spread. Rockstar has confirmed no stat of this kind for Jason and Lucia, so all there is to go on is the series' track record.

Expectation

What's reasonable to expect

Putting together what exists (an equipment menu, a range with rules, a pattern that fits almost every gun and a revolver that already carries a precision scope), the reasonable expectation is visual and functional customization at least at GTA V's level, plus a wheel or something very close to it. One confirmed fact shapes purchases: Jason and Lucia share money, so one's hardware comes out of the same wallet as the other's. Everything else in this section is our expectation, not an announcement.
