GTA 6 Melee Weapons and When They Beat a Gun
Melee is not a fallback. There are situations where it is the correct choice, and knowing them saves whole missions.
Most players treat melee as what happens when the ammunition runs out. In a series where noise summons police, that is backwards.
Three situations where melee wins
- Anything that must stay quiet. A gunshot raises a wanted level. A blunt object does not.
- Single unaware target. Faster than drawing, aiming and firing.
- Confined space. No reload, no aim penalty.
Loadout advice is in our weapon classes guide.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a stealth system in GTA 6?
Not confirmed in detail. Previous entries had light stealth, and the trailers show nothing that settles the question.
