How many weapons are confirmed for GTA 6?

More than 30 individual weapons have been identified in Rockstar's official trailers, screenshots and promotional artwork, spanning handguns, shotguns, SMGs, rifles, snipers, launchers, throwables and melee weapons.

Can you customise weapons in GTA 6?

Yes. Official artwork shows attachments and finishes across the arsenal — suppressors, extended and drum magazines, optics, foregrips, flashlights and custom grips, depending on the weapon.

Can you carry every weapon at once in GTA 6?

No. GTA 6 uses a limited-carry inventory in the style of Red Dead Redemption 2, so you will select a loadout instead of GTA 5's everything-at-once weapon wheel.

What is the most unusual weapon confirmed for GTA 6?

The speargun — a dedicated underwater weapon — is the biggest surprise, followed by the golf ball, which appears in official material as an improvised throwable.

GTA 6 Weapons List: Every Confirmed Gun and Weapon So Far

Every GTA is only as good as its arsenal, and Leonida's is already taking shape. Rockstar has revealed GTA 6's weapons the slow way — in trailers, official screenshots and character artwork — but more than 30 distinct weapons can be identified in that material so far. Here is every confirmed one, organised by class, with the real-world hardware each design is based on.

Handguns

Weapon	Based on / notes
Girardi ES9	Beretta 92FS pattern. Seen with suppressor, extended magazine, flashlight and custom finishes.
Klose K17	Glock-pattern pistol. Suppressor, optics and extended magazine options shown.
Heavy Pistol	M1911 pattern — slower, harder-hitting, built for close work against armour.
Mustang .357 Revolver	Colt Python pattern. Huge stopping power, slow reload.
Nipper .38 Revolver	Compact revolver, often seen in Lucia's hands. Low recoil, beginner-friendly.
Pistol	The standard sidearm — the basic early-game handgun.

Shotguns

Two classics confirmed. The Double-Barreled Shotgun returns with premium wood finishes and engraved detailing — devastating up close and perfect for Leonida's swamps. The Pump Action Shotgun, a series staple since GTA 3, appears with extended magazine tubes, tactical flashlights and stock upgrades.

SMGs and Machine Guns

Micro SMG — the Mini Uzi pattern returns, with drum magazines. The drive-by default.
Compact SMG — Scorpion-pattern, light and fast, with suppressor and extended magazine options.
MP5-pattern SMG — the accuracy pick of the class, seen with scope, suppressor and foregrip.
Combat MG — an M249-pattern light machine gun with a large box magazine and optics: the answer to armoured vehicles.

Assault Rifles

Assault Rifle — the AK-pattern workhorse: high damage, suppressor and drum magazine options.
Carbine Rifle — the AR-15/HK416-pattern all-rounder, with optics, foregrips and adjustable stocks.
Carbine Rifle Mk II — the upgraded carbine, shown in cover art with a heavy barrel and advanced scope.
Service Carbine — the M16-pattern rifle, bridging vintage looks and modern attachments.

Sniper Rifles

Assault Sniper — L129A1-pattern marksman rifle; semi-automatic with variable-zoom scope and suppressor.
Bolt Action Sniper — Remington 700-pattern; maximum damage and precision, heavy barrel and bipod.
M14-pattern Rifle — a battle rifle that splits the difference between semi-auto speed and sniper range.
Hunter Sniper — Arctic Warfare L96-pattern precision rifle.
Ruger 10/22-pattern Rifle — a lightweight small-calibre option, quick to handle and swap.

Launchers and Throwables

Heavy ordnance is the expected pair: a revolver-style Grenade Launcher in the Milkor MGL pattern for crowd control, and the RPG, because it would not be GTA without one. Throwables get more interesting: standard grenades, Molotovs and fire bottles for area denial, flashbangs and smoke grenades for robberies and escapes — and two Leonida specials. The speargun is purpose-built for underwater combat where normal firearms fail, and the humble golf ball appears as an improvised throwable, presumably for distractions. Vice City provides.

Melee Weapons and Equipment

Melee confirmed so far: baseball bat, crowbar, golf club, hammer, knife and pool cue, plus your fists. The bigger story is the equipment list spotted alongside the weapons — binoculars, a lock pick, a slim jim, an immobiliser bypass, a tracker jammer, a taser, zipties, a trauma kit, a loot bag and more. That is a heist toolkit, and it points to robberies with proper preparation phases.

One structural change ties it all together: unlike GTA 5's infinite weapon wheel, GTA 6 moves to a limited-carry inventory in the style of Red Dead Redemption 2. You will choose a loadout rather than carrying all 30-plus weapons at once — which makes every slot on this list a genuine decision.
