Some fans think thatGrand Theft Auto 6could include one-handed shooting, whichGTA 5teased in trailers but never included in-game. Hype around the title has reached astronomical heights, but specific gameplay details remain relatively scarce, making the perfect recipe for speculation and rumors. While Rockstar hasn’t confirmed it yet, someGrand Theft Auto 6promotional material seems to suggest it could take some inspiration from unusedGTA 5ideas.
The latest installment in theGrand Theft Autofranchise has a lot to live up to, considering the massive success of the last one. At least threeGTA 5actors have said they’d like to returnfor aGTA 6DLC, and fans have already pored over the trailers to see what’s new and what could be the same between the two games. One of the most interesting ties between the two, though, could come from something that never actually made it toGTA 5.
Redditor Kamil210s posted a side-by-side comparison of screenshots from trailers forGTA 5andGTA 6,showing characters in both holding pistols with one hand. As Kamil210s explains,GTA 5showed Michael shooting one-handed in the teaser but that the feature never appeared in the gameplay. They then posited thatGTA 6could change things up and include it as an in-game option. Notably, a leaker saysGTA 6will include aRed Dead Redemption 2-style weapon wheel, andRDR2does include a one-handed shooting stance. If Rockstar is using someRed Deadmechanics, there may be a chance this feature makes the cut.
Some Fans Think Grand Theft Auto 6 Will Feature One-Handed Shooting
Other fans were less convinced. Some pointed out how earlierGTA 6screenshots suggest Jason has a military background, and soldiers are typically trained to shoot with both hands, so it may not make sense for his character to hold his gun in just one. Others said that leaked versions of the game show Lucia firing her pistol with two hands, although the leaked build could be an early version, and leaks are not always trustworthy.
Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick has said thatRockstar wants to makeGTA 6"the best thing anyone’s ever seen,“which could mean a heavy dose of including things fans have wanted from previous entries in the franchise. At the same time, it’s hard to draw firm conclusions about any gameplay specifics from trailers and speculation. Gamers will have to wait for more official news to get a better idea of what to expect.
