GTA 6 Weapons: What Rockstar Has Confirmed So Far

GTA 6 weapons have prompted plenty of claims about inventory limits and car storage. Rockstar’s published material shows weapons in the game, but it has not confirmed a fixed number of guns players can carry, a weight-based inventory, or a system for storing weapons in vehicle trunks.

What Rockstar has shown

Rockstar’s official extended look is described as footage captured entirely in-game on PlayStation 5. The second trailer and Rockstar’s character and location pages provide more official material about Grand Theft Auto VI.

These sources let viewers see scenes, characters, and parts of the world. They do not provide a detailed guide to the weapon inventory or explain how players will select, carry, or store firearms. A weapon appearing in a scene does not by itself confirm the rules behind that scene.

Weapon limits and trunk storage are unconfirmed

As of October 4, 2026, Rockstar has not announced that GTA 6 limits players to two rifles and two handguns. The company has also not confirmed weapon lockers, loadout setups, weight-based carrying limits, or a mechanic that requires players to retrieve guns from a car trunk.

Claims that GTA 6 will copy Red Dead Redemption 2’s weapon-carrying system should therefore be treated as speculation unless Rockstar publishes a specific explanation. The same caution applies to claims about storing stolen goods in cars, fencing contraband, or managing weapons through a detailed inventory menu.

How to separate footage from confirmed mechanics

Official gameplay footage can show what happens in a particular scene, but it rarely explains every system. Marketing descriptions and trailers may establish characters, locations, and the broad premise while leaving moment-to-moment mechanics unanswered. Until Rockstar publishes more detail, the exact weapon selection and storage systems remain unknown.
