GTA 6 Combat: What's Actually Been Shown
Real robbery scenes and hand-to-hand confrontation appear in trailer footage. How combat actually plays — cover systems, gunplay feel, targeting — remains completely unconfirmed.
Summary
Handguns appear in trailer footage during what look like armed robbery sequences, and hand-to-hand combat is visible in at least one confrontation. Beyond what's literally on screen, Rockstar hasn't detailed how combat systems will actually work.
What's Visible in the Trailers
The clearest combat-adjacent footage comes from robbery scenes — handguns drawn, tense confrontations that read as heist or holdup moments rather than open combat. There's also a hand-to-hand exchange shown briefly, confirming melee confrontation exists in some form. Full detail on both weapon categories is on the Handguns page and Melee page.
What's Still Unknown
Nothing about actual combat mechanics has been confirmed — cover system behavior, targeting/aim assist options, how switching between Jason and Lucia interacts with combat, or anything about difficulty and balance. Trailer footage shows moments, not systems.
