The short version
- No official GTA 6 weapon list has been published.
- Confirmed categories: handguns, rifles, explosives and melee.
- Zip ties are a confirmed non-lethal tool.
- Reported from a Rockstar North interview: two concealed handguns and two long guns can be carried.
- Rockstar names personalized weapon variants and an exclusive weapon pattern, but has not announced a complete modification system.
Four weapon categories are confirmed for GTA 6: handguns, rifles, explosives and melee. Rockstar's own text names three weapons: the Hawk & Little Morgan Revolvers, Jason's Girardi ES9 and Lucia's Klose K17. Everything beyond that is unpublished, which is why weapon lists are the lowest-integrity category in pre-release coverage.
Here is the version that is actually true.
Official weapon imagery
Rockstar publishes these under its Ultimate Edition and Vintage Vice City Pack galleries. They prove the named benefits shown, not a complete arsenal.
Published by Rockstar in the Ultimate Edition Benefits gallery; the image confirms the named benefit, not a complete base-game weapon list.

Official profileWeapon customization status
| Official item | What it confirms | What it does not confirm |
|---|---|---|
| Hawk & Little Morgan Revolvers | A his-and-hers revolver pair, engraved J.DUVAL and L.CAMINOS, in the Ultimate Edition | A complete weapon roster or whether their parts can be changed |
| Personalized Weapon Variants | Engraved versions of Jason's Girardi ES9 and Lucia's Klose K17, an Ultimate Edition benefit | A weapon editor, interchangeable parts or any performance difference |

| Attachments and performance upgrades | Not announced | Suppressors, scopes, magazines, barrels, ammunition types and stat upgrades remain unconfirmed |
What Rockstar has confirmed about modification
Two named weapon customisation benefits are confirmed, both tied to editions.
What is actually published
Both appear in official galleries.
- Personalised Weapon Variants. An Ultimate Edition benefit: engraved versions of the Girardi ES9 and Klose K17
- An Exclusive Weapon Pattern. Part of the Vintage Vice City Pack
What that evidence does not establish
It does not show a general gunsmith or an attachment system.
Nothing has been announced about suppressors, scopes, magazines, barrels, ammunition types, paint menus or performance upgrades. Our cosmetics guide covers what is known.
Confirmed by official material
- Handguns, rifles, explosives and melee weapons are all present
- Zip ties are available as a non-lethal restraint tool
- Human shields are a supported combat option
- Jason and Lucia have distinct slow-motion abilities affecting how weapons are used
- Melee has been rebuilt with more weight and directionality
Reported, not published: the carry limit
Rockstar North's Rob Nelson told TGG's preview that you can keep two concealed handguns on you, plus two long guns: one slung on your back and one in your hand, both visible.
Any vehicle can hold long guns for a while, and only your personal vehicle keeps your full loadout. The press reported this from the interview in early September 2026; Rockstar has not put it in writing.
Why the list is not out
Same reason the vehicle list is not: weapons are cheap to change and a published list is a commitment. Rockstar has never released one before a GTA launch.
There is also a practical reason specific to this game. Weapon balance interacts with the carry limit, and a limit of two handguns and two long guns means each one has to be meaningfully distinct. That kind of balancing continues right up to certification.
How to read the lists you will find
Most full GTA VI weapon lists trace back to the 2022 breach or to datamined promotional files.
They describe an old build
Several items that circulated for years as confirmed were simply absent from the Extended Look.
That is what a four-year-old build looks like when the game moves on.
The test to apply
If a list does not tell you where each entry came from, it is not a list.
It is a guess with formatting.
