GTA VI introduces varied car theft mechanics based on vehicle make and model
Key points
- Car theft in GTA VI will vary by vehicle type.
- Players will need specific tools for some parked cars.
- Electronic key fobs may require a key cloner.
- An in-game app will provide car theft information.
New Car Theft System in GTA VI
Rockstar's upcoming Grand Theft Auto VI will introduce a more intricate car theft system compared to previous titles. Players will no longer be able to hot-wire every car with a single action; instead, the method of stealing a car will depend on its specific make and model.
Gameplay Progression and Decision-Making
Rob Nelson, Rockstar co-studio head, stated that this change adds layers of stratification to vehicles, enhancing progression and decision-making. Initially, some parked cars will be inaccessible until players advance in the story and acquire necessary tools. However, players can still carjack any driver they encounter.
Varied Acquisition Methods
The new system aims to make vehicle acquisition more varied and meaningful. For instance, cars with electronic key fobs might necessitate a key cloner, and vehicles with built-in GPS systems could require specific driving speeds to avoid detection. An in-game app will also inform players about the tools needed for a car and its value.
