Skills & Progression | |
N/A | Ability progression is tied to collected Gear pieces and weapon modifications rather than traditional skill trees tied to player XP. Players increase their rank by earning XP, which unlocks access to better gear and weapons from vendors. Resolver weapons and Supremo backpacks provide unique, powerful active abilities and are crafted/upgraded at workbenches using gathered resources like Depleted Uranium. |
public World & Exploration | |
World & Level Design | |
GTA VI is expected to feature Rockstar's largest and most detailed open world to date, encompassing the diverse state of Leonida. Confirmed regions include Vice City (a reimagined Miami), alongside other areas like Grassrivers (potentially an Everglades-like area), Leonida Keys (Florida Keys analogue), Port Gellhorn (industrial/port area), Ambrosia, and Mount Kalaga. The map will feature urban sprawls, beaches, swamps, and rural countryside, offering a wide range of environments. |
Yara is the largest Far Cry setting to date, a vast open world featuring diverse environments: jungles, beaches, rural areas, and the urban capital city of Esperanza. The world is divided into main regions, each controlled by a member of Castillo's regime and containing various activities like FND bases (outposts), checkpoints, and treasure hunts. |
