Tips & Tricks
Every strategy you need to dominate GTA 6, organized by playstyle.
Driving
- Brake before the corner, then power through the apex for faster laps.
- Use handbrake drifts only for tight 180s — they cost speed in chases.
- Match your vehicle to the terrain; off-roaders slide predictably.
- Stash a getaway car near every heist location before you start.
Combat
- Carry one weapon per range: pistol, rifle, and sniper.
- Suppressors let you clear rooms without alerting the whole block.
- Armor-piercing rounds shred vehicles; hollow points drop unarmored foes.
- Use cover to break line of sight and reload safely.
Money
- Do side hustles between missions — small jobs stack up fast.
- Buy property early for passive income that grows all game.
- Sell stolen vehicles and salvaged cargo instead of hoarding.
- Reinvest every dollar early to compound your wealth.
Evasion
- Break line of sight in alleys and garages to shrink the search radius.
- Abandon your car and steal a fresh one to reset the pursuit.
- Go underwater to shake helicopter tracking.
- Plan two escape routes before entering any building.
Secrets
- Check rooftops and helipads for hidden weapon caches.
- Sweep marked dive spots for sunken cargo and cash.
- Radio stations broadcast coded messages pointing to stashes.
- Look up — the best loot is often above eye level.
Heists
- Never skip recon — intel unlocks the best approaches.
- Invest in skilled crew; their cut is worth the reliability.
- Plan the escape before you enter the building.
- Stash getaway vehicles along two separate routes.
