GTA 6 Weapons: The Three Rockstar Has Actually Named

Rockstar names three weapon models in Grand Theft Auto VI, all in the Ultimate Edition list on its VI site: the Hawk & Little Morgan revolvers, and personalised variants of the Girardi ES9 and Klose K17 pistols. The August 27 Extended Look showed gunfights in motion, but neither the footage nor any Rockstar text has added a weapons list - so the twenty- and thirty-item tables circulating elsewhere still have no official source.

What the Extended Look showed about combat

The footage did not name any weapons, but it showed how they are used. As broken down by PC Gamer, TechRadar and GamesRadar, it includes:

• Gunfights fought from cover.
• Kill-cams.
• A slow-motion aiming mode with a meter, highlighting weak points in red and yellow. TechRadar calls it a 'focus meter'; Rockstar's own name for it has not been confirmed.
• Quick-time events that offer a choice of action.

None of that tells you how many weapons there are, how they are selected, or whether Jason and Lucia share an inventory.

What the naming convention tells you

GTA weapon manufacturers are recurring fictional brands. Hawk & Little is an established series name; Girardi and Klose are not, which suggests Rockstar has expanded the armoury's fictional supply chain rather than reusing it wholesale.

That is a small thing that carries a real implication: named manufacturers usually indicate a weapon family rather than a one-off, because the brand exists to be applied across several items.

What is visible in the press screenshots

Beyond the named three, the press library shows weapons without identifying them. It is worth separating what you can see from what you can name.

• An assault rifle carried by Jason at night, with a distinctive light-coloured furniture finish.
• A gold-finished pistol levelled across a convenience store counter in the robbery frame.
• A scoped long-barrelled revolver, matching the Morgan description.
• A patterned submachine gun on a car seat alongside cash.
• Two decorated semi-automatic pistols, matching the ES9 and K17 variants.

That is roughly five distinct silhouettes in still images. The Extended Look shows more weapons in use, but Rockstar has not named them, and any list naming dozens of guns is drawing on leaked material.

Customisation and character-specific sidearms

Every named weapon appears as a cosmetic variant - engraved, patterned, etched - and the Vintage Vice City Pack adds a pattern on its own. That is consistent enough to say something about how Rockstar is presenting weapons.

The sidearm row is more interesting than it looks. Distinct named pistols suggest weapons may be at least partly character-specific, which would be a departure from GTA V's common inventory. The Extended Look shows jobs meant for only one of the two protagonists, but nothing published says how their loadouts work - the inference still rests on two product descriptions.

The weapon locker

Two garages in Rockstar's bonus content come with weapon storage. The Ultimate Edition's '67 Vapid Dominator Buggy copy says it can be stored at the Paradise Garage in Watson Bay, which "features a weapon locker, plus a secure place to deposit stolen goods to be fenced". The Vintage Vice City Pack - included with all pre-orders and purchases made before November 20 - adds the Shore Court personal garage near Ocean Beach, also with a weapon locker and a stash for stolen goods.

So a weapon locker is not an Ultimate-only idea: anyone who buys before November 20 gets one. It implies weapon storage separate from what you carry. How it works has not been described.

What is still unknown

• How many weapons are in the game.
• Whether weapons are shared between protagonists or character-specific.
• How weapons are selected - Rockstar has not described an inventory or weapon wheel.
• Whether attachments can be fitted by the player.
• Whether there is a gun shop, and what it is called.
• What the slow-motion aiming mode is officially called, and what fills or drains its meter.
• How the gunplay feels to play, which footage cannot answer.

Where the leaked weapon lists come from

In September 2022, roughly ninety clips from an internal development build were published without authorisation. Those clips, and files circulated alongside them, are the source of essentially every comprehensive GTA VI weapon list online. Further gameplay footage leaked in late August 2026; this site does not use either as a source.

None of that means the leaked weapons are absent from the finished game. It means their presence in a 2022 build is not evidence about a 2026 release, and lists presented as fact are asserting something their source cannot support.

What GTA V's armoury looked like, for scale

For a sense of what a plausible final count might be, GTA V shipped with roughly two dozen weapons in single-player at launch, across a small number of categories, and grew substantially through GTA Online updates afterwards.

• Melee, from fists through improvised objects to bladed weapons.
• Handguns, including a small number of variants.
• Submachine guns and machine pistols.
• Assault rifles and carbines.
• Shotguns, pump and semi-automatic.
• Sniper rifles.
• Heavy weapons - rockets, grenade launchers, a minigun.
• Thrown items - grenades, sticky bombs, molotovs.

GTA VI has three named weapon models. If it follows GTA V's shape, that is a small fraction of the eventual armoury - which is exactly why the gap gets filled with invention.
