What's new in combat

Reported

Carry limits

Previews report you carry two handguns hidden on your body and two long guns that people can see. No more bottomless weapon wheel.

Reported

Your car is your armory

Extra guns, ammo and loot bags reportedly go in your vehicle's trunk, so where you park matters.

Reported

People notice

Walking around with a long gun out draws reactions, and characters reportedly holster weapons in busy places.

Reported

Lighter aim assist

Previews describe less aggressive lock-on than GTA V, so aiming takes more skill.

Reported

Non-lethal options

Reports mention intimidating, disarming and wounding enemies instead of always killing them.

Reported

Wanted system

Up to six wanted stars have been reported, with police tracking the clothes and car you were seen in.

Rockstar hasn't published these rules officially. They come from hands-on previews and the Extended Look, and may change at launch.

Gangs spotted so far

Outlaw biker club

Final Chapter MC

Linked to Ambrosia, whose official description mentions a local biker presence. Name seen in footage (reported).

More gangs and police departments have been spotted in trailers, but sources don't agree yet. We only list names we can confirm, and we'll add the rest at launch.
