33 New Details From the GTA 6 Launch Trailer

1. In the new trailer for GTA 6, we can see Jason, the protagonist, sporting a U.S. Army t-shirt, which confirms his military past. The trailer implies that he trained at a combat training school located in North Fort Law, which fans recognize as the military base from the original Grand Theft Auto game. This base was originally situated in New Guernsey, but is more likely to be in the State of Alderney, the HD universe's version of New Jersey.

2. Among the various details, the most prominent one is the word "Marauder" etched on Jason's arm, which is likely to represent the unit he served in. This could be a reference to the Merrill's Marauders, a 1940s special forces group, or its modern-day equivalent, the 75th Ranger Regiment. It is highly probable that Jason served as a ranger.

3. It appears that Jason has had a difficult time since leaving the military. He mentions in the trailer that "I got in some trouble in the army, didn't leave on the best of terms," and that "they don't give loans, anything, to people like me." This struggle might have led him to turn to a life of crime.

4. However, Jason's military experience has certainly paid off, as he demonstrates the skills needed for a successful life of crime. We see him moving through water wearing special forces-like infiltration gear, night-vision goggles on his head, and a silenced assault rifle in his hands. Alongside him are two other men, seemingly disembarking from a boat. The background features a komodo dragon, which could be a flashback to Jason's army days or a native of Leonida's wetlands who has joined Jason on his criminal endeavors.

5. Throughout the trailer, Jason is involved in various criminal activities that exhibit a military touch. Later in the film, he is seen on a helicopter, wearing a bulletproof vest, and displaying a professional demeanor. He is accompanied by a dog, which suggests that Jason not only has a pet but also uses it as a working dog. The scene also shows Jason confidently exiting a chopper and checking the chamber in his rifle, highlighting his competence as a professional.

6. Although Lucia may not possess Jason's highly trained background, she seems to adopt some of his tactics. In the early stages of the trailer, we observe her dressed in combat gear equipped with a Shrewsbury rotary grenade launcher, detonating explosives into pursuing police vehicles.

7. Lucia's impressive acrobatics are showcased as she hangs from a cargo net, either before or after navigating through the side of a skyscraper. The damage caused by the crash is detailed, with hundreds of shards of glass erupting from the building. This intricate environmental destruction is reminiscent of Battlefield-like destruction tech, and it suggests that Rockstar has created a detailed representation of the game's destruction.

8. The scale of the crime depicted in this trailer is nearly on par with GTA 5's biggest moments. We can see Lucia leaping from a car onto a commercial liner, suggesting a heist of similar magnitude to Trevor's airborne antics. This scene could potentially lead to the moment shown in the second trailer, where Lucia fights from inside a plane's hold as its landing gear deploys.

9. Another significant event in the trailer is a bank job, which is the same vault that was previously unveiled in a screenshot back in August. This vault is shown with burning bank notes and Lucia's hair in a ponytail. Lucia is joined by an unnamed character in this scene, hinting that she will not be alone during heists. Later, she is seen accompanied by gunmen disguised as construction workers, indicating that she will often be accompanied by a crew of criminals.

It remains to be seen whether these characters will be supporting characters introduced as part of the story or NPCs hired to help, similar to heist crews in GTA 5.
