A Lost Mechanic Resurfaces?

Grand Theft Auto VI might resurrect a fan-favorite feature abandoned in GTA 5: one-handed pistol combat. Reddit user Kamil210s highlighted a scene in the GTA 6 trailer where protagonist Lucia holds a pistol with one hand—mirroring early GTA 5 footage of Franklin that was cut from the final game.

This isn’t just a cinematic flourish. Leaked gameplay (since removed) reportedly showed characters switching between one- and two-handed stances, suggesting Rockstar could implement the mechanic this time.

  • “This looked so slick in RDR 2—hope it’s real!” – ScottRans0m
  • Tactical Depth: Stance-switching could offer mobility vs. accuracy trade-offs.
  • Stylish Immersion: One-handed shots evoke classic action movies.
  • Redemption: Fans felt robbed when it was cut from GTA 5.

As one commenter noted: “If Lucia can dual-wield one-handed, I’ll lose my mind.”

Do you think NOW we’ll get 1 hand shooting?

A History of Cut Features

Rockstar often tests mechanics in trailers that don’t make final cuts:

  • GTA 5’s one-handed stance
  • Dynamic animal encounters in early RDR 2 demos
  • GTA 4’s more complex police AI

This pattern makes fans cautiously optimistic—but leaks suggest GTA 6 might deliver what GTA 5 couldn’t.

What This Means for Gameplay

If implemented, stance-switching could:

  • Increase combat versatility (quick hip-fire vs. aimed precision)
  • Enhance character identity (Lucia’s fluid style vs. Jason’s brute force)
  • Enable dual-wielding for chaotic shootouts

Leaked footage described “smooth transitions” between stances, hinting at a dedicated control input.
