Skills & Progression | |
The classic Perk system returns but has been expanded. Each Specialist (class) has a unique skill tree, allowing for deep customization of abilities and playstyles. A new weapon upgrade system allows players to enhance their favorite guns with new attachments and properties. The in-match economy of earning 'Dosh' to buy better weapons from the Trader pod remains a core part of the gameplay loop. |
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 | |
The game features a variety of battlegrounds, from claustrophobic urban environments to sprawling industrial complexes. Maps are designed with the series' signature focus on choke points, verticality, and strategic locations for welding doors and holding out against the horde. The move to Unreal Engine 5 allows for more detailed and destructible environments. |
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. |
