GTA 6 Fans Think about New Military Base
The wait for Grand Theft Auto VI involves one of the internet’s favorite pastimes: dissecting every second of the released trailers for clues. Rockstar Games knows this, and they famously pack their previews with hidden details. Now, the community is buzzing over a new discovery that has everyone thinking the same thing—they’ve located the game’s equivalent of GTA V’s infamous military base.

In GTA V, the Fort Zancudo military base was a playground for chaos. It was the quickest way to get a five-star wanted level and, for skilled players, a chance to steal a jet and wreak havoc from the skies. It seems a similar zone of high-stakes anarchy is planned for GTA VI, and fans believe they know exactly where it is.
The theory comes from a close inspection of the game’s second trailer. A Reddit user pointed out a small but significant detail in the background of a scene: a balloon hovering in the distance. To many viewers, this object closely resembles the surveillance balloons often associated with defense contractors like Lockheed Martin, which are typically stationed near military installations.
This has led to the compelling theory that the balloon is a marker, indicating the presence of a major military complex hidden just out of clear view. Speculation suggests this base could be located near the in-game home of Jason, one of the two main protagonists.
The discovery has sparked lively debate online. Some commenters agree, seeing it as a clear beacon pointing toward the game’s next chaos-filled hotspot. Others are more skeptical, suggesting the object might simply be a blimp, similar to the one seen in the first trailer, and not a military asset at all.
However, if the theory proves true, it would have exciting implications for gameplay. Having a military base located near a safehouse would create a constant, tempting risk for players, making high-stakes vehicle theft a recurring part of the adventure.

With this latest clue picked clean, the community is now looking forward, asking one big question: when is the next trailer? While there’s no confirmed date, speculation is high that a third trailer could arrive in November or December, especially with parent company Take-Two Interactive holding an earnings call soon.
Until then, the detective work continues, proving that the hype for GTA VI is so immense that even a distant balloon is enough to fuel a major theory.
