GTA 6 NPCs Will Notice If You’re Carrying A Weapon In Public

Rockstar's upcoming Grand Theft Auto 6 will feature more observant NPCs who react when players openly carry firearms in public spaces, a departure from previous entries where heavily armed protagonists drew no crowd response. The New York Times preview confirmed that brandishing weapons like shotguns will now trigger consequences from the surrounding populace.

• GTA 6 NPCs will visibly react to players carrying weapons in public areas
• The New York Times published a hands-on preview revealing this behavioral change
