The short version

  • Explosives are a confirmed weapon category.
  • No individual explosive or throwable has been named.
  • It is unclear whether throwables count against the carry limit.
  • Rockstar has shown no explosive weapon in official footage product imagery.

This is the shortest weapon page on the site, and deliberately so. Rockstar has confirmed that explosives are one of the weapon categories in Grand Theft Auto VI, and has said nothing else about them.

A page that admits that is more useful than a page that fills the gap with a datamined list.

The one genuinely open question

The carry limit is stated as two rifles and two pistols. A grenade is neither of those.

So where do throwables live?

Three possibilities. They take a slot, they sit in a separate pouch, or they stay in the trunk.

Rockstar has not said, and the answer changes how you plan a loadout.

What the precedent suggests

Red Dead Redemption 2, the game this inventory model comes from, held throwables apart from long guns and sidearms.

That is precedent. It is not confirmation, and we will not write it up as one.

Why this page exists at all

Because the alternative is a gap, and somebody always fills a gap with speculation.

A short honest answer is still an answer

Saying a category is confirmed and its contents are not is a real response to what people search for.

It is also checkable, which a datamined list is not.

It will grow

When Rockstar publishes something, this page gets longer.

Until then it is short on purpose.
