Skills & Progression | |
The game features a refined Create-a-Class system. Progression unlocks weapons, equipment, perks, and Wildcards. The classic 'Prestige' system returns, allowing players to reset their rank after hitting the maximum level to earn unique rewards and continue their progression across 10 Prestige levels, with a final 'Prestige Master' rank. |
Each of the three protagonists has unique special abilities: Michael can slow down time in combat (like bullet time); Franklin can slow down time while driving; Trevor can enter a rage mode, dealing more damage and taking less. Player stats (Stamina, Shooting, Strength, Stealth, Flying, Driving, Lung Capacity) improve through repeated use of related actions. Weapons can be customized with attachments (scopes, suppressors, extended mags, grips, tints). Vehicles can be extensively modified at Los Santos Customs shops (performance upgrades, cosmetic changes). Properties can be purchased to generate income and provide safe houses. |
public World & Exploration | |
World & Level Design | |
Multiplayer will launch with 16 brand-new maps at release, including 12 Core 6v6 maps and 4 smaller Strike maps that can be played 2v2 or 6v6. The maps are set in diverse global locations, fitting the international spy thriller theme. Campaign missions will take players to locations like Russia, the Middle East, and Southern Europe. |
The game world is one of the largest and most detailed ever created by Rockstar. Los Santos is a vast, meticulously crafted urban metropolis with diverse districts (Vinewood, Downtown, Rockford Hills, South Los Santos). Blaine County offers contrasting environments like the Alamo Sea (Salton Sea analogue), Mount Chiliad, Sandy Shores (desert town), Paleto Bay (coastal town), and dense forests. The map is filled with activities, landmarks, and dynamic events. |
