Rockstar North co-studio director Rob Nelson told press after the August 2026 previews that GTA VI drops the series' effectively unlimited weapon wheel. Each protagonist can conceal up to two handguns and carry two long guns, though typically only one long gun fits on the back at a time, with a second carried openly in hand. Rifles and shotguns generally must be carried in the open or stowed in a vehicle, and NPCs react with suspicion or fear to characters openly holding long guns. Nelson said the old system \doesn't work any longer at this resolution\" given the game's NPC behavioral detail."
