The best GTA 6 weapons for each situation — silent takedowns, close quarters, mid-range, and open combat.
GTA6 Hub Editors1 min read
Rockstar's loadout meta shifts as new weapons unlock. Here's what to carry until things settle.
Silent takedown: Combat Knife
Melee stays undetected. Use it early when your Wanted Level tolerance is low.
Close quarters: Pump Shotgun
One-shot potential at short range. Ideal for cleared-room breach moments.
Mid-range default: Semi-Auto Pistol
Reliable, ammo-plentiful, and cheap to maintain. Your "always in the wheel" sidearm.
Open combat: Assault Rifle
The all-rounder once things escalate. If a mission is going loud from the start, this is your primary.
