GTA 6 caps what players can carry: two handguns and one long gun, a confirmed limit that marks a deliberate philosophy shift away from GTA 5's bottomless arsenal. The detail comes from Rockstar's product listing published 24 June 2026, with Complex highlighting the cap in its coverage of the pre-order materials.
Changing a loadout is not free-form either. Players who want a different setup must return to a personal garage, where a weapons locker handles loadout customisation. That turns garages into genuine bases of operations and makes loadout choice a decision made before trouble starts rather than during it.
Customisation on top of the cap
Weapon customisation itself is confirmed as a two-layer system. Rockstar's official screenshots show both skins and attachments — cosmetic finishes layered over functional add-ons — though the full range of attachments and their effect on handling has not been shown in gameplay. The screenshot evidence is catalogued in the official screenshots breakdown; see also weapon customization and the wider weapons page.
The leak that preceded it
Before Rockstar's confirmation, leak-era reporting via Beebom described a rumoured limited-weapon system in which guns not holstered were stored in a vehicle's trunk rather than carried freely. That specific trunk mechanic remains unconfirmed — the confirmed version routes loadout changes through garage lockers instead — but the leak correctly anticipated the direction: a realistic carry limit replacing the walking armoury of earlier games. How the cap interacts with mission design, and whether ammunition or holstering rules add further friction, has not been detailed by Rockstar as of August 2026.
