The buzz around Grand Theft Auto 6 (GTA 6) has reached new heights. Fans are constantly searching for any updates, leaks, or sneak peeks related to the game. With Rockstar officially confirming GTA 6 and its upcoming 2026 release, every bit of new information feels like gold for gamers.
Recently, new leaks have surfaced online, hinting at changes in how weapons will work in GTA 6. If these leaks turn out to be true, the new system could bring both exciting improvements and frustrating limitations, especially for online players.
GTA 6 Leak Hints at a New Weapon Wheel Inspired by Red Dead Redemption 2
One of the biggest rumours currently making the rounds is that GTA 6 might use a limited weapon wheel system, similar to what we saw in Red Dead Redemption 2. In RDR2, players couldn’t carry dozens of weapons all at once. They had to pick and choose what to carry and what to leave behind — usually storing extra weapons on their horse.
In the same way, GTA 6 may limit how many weapons players can carry at one time. According to leaks from popular Twitter account GameRoll, players might only be able to hold a few weapons directly. Others could be stored in the trunk of their car, just like how RDR2 used horses for extra storage.
This would be a major shift from GTA 5 and GTA Online, where players can carry rocket launchers, assault rifles, pistols, and more — all at the same time.
Why This Could Be a Good Thing for Story Mode?
Limiting the number of weapons a player can carry might sound annoying at first, but it makes the game feel more realistic and immersive. Rockstar did this successfully in Red Dead Redemption 2, and many fans loved the realism it added to the gameplay.
If GTA 6 uses a similar system, it could bring that same level of detail and lifelike feel to Vice City, where the game is reportedly set. Instead of feeling like a superhero carrying 20 weapons at once, players would feel more like real people navigating a dangerous world.
It could also make combat feel more meaningful. Choosing the right weapon for the job becomes more important when you can’t carry everything with you.
But It Could Be a Problem for GTA Online Players
While this system might work well in the single-player story mode, it could be frustrating for GTA Online players.
GTA Online is all about chaos, action, and power fantasies. Players drive flying bikes, use rocket launchers, and participate in wild missions — often with dozens of weapons in their inventory. If the same weapon system from the story mode is used in GTA 6’s online version, it could limit the fun and flexibility that online players are used to.
Sure, some players enjoy role-playing and realism. But the majority want freedom to do whatever they want, whenever they want. A trunk-based weapon system might slow down the gameplay and turn off long-time fans of GTA Online.
Could Rockstar Make Two Different Weapon Systems?
There’s always a chance that Rockstar will create two different systems — one for story mode and another for online multiplayer. This would be a smart move, allowing each mode to keep its unique vibe.
GTA 6 story mode could go for realism and limited weapons, while GTA Online could stick with the more action-packed, anything-goes style fans love.
So far, Rockstar hasn’t confirmed anything about GTA Online in GTA 6. The company is known for staying quiet until it’s ready to reveal details. Until then, everything is just a rumour — but a very exciting one.
What Else Could Be Coming in GTA 6?
Last month, Rockstar finally released the long-awaited second trailer for GTA 6, giving fans a closer look at the characters, setting, and tone of the game. The video quickly went viral and only added more fuel to the hype.
With the release date set for 2026, there’s still a lot of time for Rockstar to share more updates. One possible place where fans might get another look at the game is The Game Awards, usually held at the end of the year. However, Rockstar also has a habit of dropping surprises when no one expects it.
Whether it’s a new trailer, gameplay footage, or more leaks, fans are watching closely. If the weapon wheel leak turns out to be true, we’ll soon find out how much it changes the GTA experience.
