The Way You Steal Cars in GTA 6 Completely Changes the Game
Stealing cars is no longer a case of just tapping a button in GTA 6. Rockstar reveals how it has added “layers of stratification” to make the theft in Grand Theft Auto a little more challenging.
In the upcoming Grand Theft Auto 6, stealing vehicles will be a more complex process, significantly altering the gameplay experience. Rob Nelson, co-studio head of Rockstar North, revealed that the new tiered vehicle security system will introduce a variety of tools and methods to steal cars, as well as new ways to profit from each theft.
The WAINK scanner, a new technology in GTA 6, will provide players with information about a vehicle's security system and value. This scanner will reveal if a car is protected digitally, requiring a digital key cloning device to unlock it. Certain tools will only become available at specific points in the story, adding layers of decision-making to the vehicle theft process.
Advanced vehicles may be equipped with trackers that reveal the player's location to law enforcement if driven below a certain speed. Additionally, players will be able to sell stolen vehicles at a fence, similar to the mechanic found in Red Dead Redemption 2. The new systems aim to add complexity to vehicle theft, impacting mission design and player strategy.
