⚡ WEAPON & LOADOUT BRIEFING: Because Grand Theft Auto VI replaces the infinite weapon wheel with a realistic carry limit, building the right 3-Tier Loadout (Concealed Sidearm + Slung Long-Gun + Vehicle Trunk Reserve) is crucial for surviving pawn shop hold-ups and 6-star SWAT cordons across Leonida.

Why You Should Never Walk Into a Bank With a Slung Rifle First
Walking down a crowded Vice City sidewalk or entering a store with a Tier 2 Carbine Rifle visibly slung across your chest immediately alarms civilians—triggering witness phone calls before you even reach the counter. Always case the interior with a concealed Tier 1 pistol first, or park your Declasse Tulip right outside the rear alley so you can grab your long-gun from the trunk at the exact moment the heist begins.
