Rockstar Games is known for pushing boundaries, and with Grand Theft Auto 6, they’re diving deep into realism. While we’re excited to explore the vibrant world of Florida, it seems even stealing a car will require more than just brute force.
Stealth or Smash? The Art of Carjacking in GTA 6
Remember the days of simply smashing a window and hotwiring a ride? In Grand Theft Auto 6, that approach is getting an upgrade. Depending on the vehicle, you’re going to have options ranging from classic smash-and-grab to more sophisticated techniques.
The Slim Jim Era
For older vehicles, the trusty window-smashing method remains viable. However, for those seeking a quieter approach, Rockstar is introducing the “slim jim.” This tool, familiar to anyone who’s ever called roadside assistance, allows you to unlock doors without breaking anything. Successfully using it will involve a short minigame utilizing your PlayStation 5 or Xbox controller.
Relay Attacks and Tesla Parodies
But what about those shiny new cars? Forget slim jims; for newer vehicles, including the inevitable satirical take on Tesla, you’ll need something more advanced: a key cloner. This opens up the possibility of “relay attacks,” allowing you to remotely unlock and start cars without even setting off the alarm. It’s a clever nod to real-world car theft techniques.
This focus on realism adds another layer of depth to the gameplay, making even seemingly simple actions like stealing a car more engaging and strategic. We can’t wait to see how players utilize these new mechanics in Grand Theft Auto 6.
