Has Rockstar released the full GTA 6 weapon list?

No. There is no official weapon list, damage stats, or unlock progression for GTA 6. Any complete 'weapon list' circulating online is fan speculation or based on leaks.

Will GTA 6 have weapon customization?

Not confirmed. Trailer footage includes brief gun-shop interiors that imply purchasing and modification, but Rockstar has not described a customization system.

Is GTA 6 removing the weapon wheel?

Unconfirmed. Leaks suggest a limited loadout system rather than carrying every weapon at once, but Rockstar has made no statement about the weapon wheel.

Can you dual wield weapons in GTA 6?

There is no official confirmation of dual wielding. No trailer footage shows a character firing two weapons simultaneously.

GTA 6 Weapons: Every Confirmed Weapon in the Arsenal

A frame-by-frame catalog of every weapon shown in official Rockstar trailers and screenshots — clearly separated from what is still unconfirmed.

Updated 2026-08-06 · 4 min read

Quick answer

Rockstar has not published a GTA 6 weapon list. Official trailer footage confirms pistols, a compact SMG, an assault rifle, a pump shotgun and blunt-object melee combat. Sniper rifles, explosives and weapon customization have not been confirmed, and the rumored limited-loadout system remains unofficial.

Confirmed vs Unconfirmed GTA 6 Weapons

Every entry below is tied to what is visible in official Rockstar material. Weapon names use generic categories because Rockstar has not released in-game weapon names for GTA 6.

Handguns

Semi-automatic pistol Confirmed
Carried during the convenience store robbery and multiple street scenes in Trailer 1 and Trailer 2.

Submachine guns

Compact SMG Confirmed
Visible in vehicle and drive-by framing in Trailer 2 footage, held one-handed.

No sniper rifle has been clearly shown in official Rockstar material to date.

Melee

Melee weapons (bat / blunt objects) Confirmed

Systems

Weapon customization at gun shops Not confirmed
Brief in-store glimpses suggest purchasing and modification, but Rockstar has not detailed the system.
Loadout limit / restricted carry Rumor
Leaks describe a limited loadout replacing the classic infinite weapon wheel. Not officially confirmed.

How Combat Looks in the Trailers

Gunplay in the GTA 6 trailers is shown in short bursts: a robbery, a standoff, and crew shootouts. Weapons are handled with visibly heavier recoil animation and more grounded reload framing than GTA V's, but Rockstar has not described any combat mechanics in writing. Treat any claim about aiming assist, cover mechanics or damage models as speculation until Rockstar publishes gameplay details.
